Fency Sheep is a quick roll-and-write game for one or more players. The goal of the game is to score points by fencing in sheep.

The game is played over a minimum of 10 rounds. Each turn, players roll a six-sided die and draw a matching fence on the map. They also add the result of the die roll to a time tracker, but only if it differs from last round's result. Thus the game will last longer if the same number is being rolled multiple times in a row.

After 6 and 10 rounds on the time tracker, players score points for the total number of sheep they have completely fenced in. The game ends after the second scoring and the player with the most total points wins.

Perfect for fans of Sudoku or Crossword puzzles, travel and waiting games, and comes in eco-friendly packaging! One Pencil and Die included.

For 1-6 players. 8 years+

Thread Count is a quick roll-and-write game for one or more players. The goal of the game is to collect as many socks, paper airplanes, and mice as possible by extending the thread of wool over the carpet towards the cat's paw. Tipping over porcelain cups should be avoided.

Each turn, players roll a six-sided die and extend their thread by the number of segments shown by the die. They have to draw in a straight line and may bend off only once during a turn. If they draw over an item, they collect it. After the first player collected the first set of items, a timer sets in that will trigger the end of the game.

Players will score points for each item and sets of items as well as for ending the thread at the cat's paw. They will lose points for porcelain cups that got tipped over. The player with the most total points wins.

Perfect for fans of Sudoku or Crossword puzzles, travel and waiting games, and comes in eco-friendly packaging! One Pencil and Die included.

UNO Show 'Em No Mercy is a brutal, ruthless version of the classic UNO card game. In addition to standard action cards like Skip, Reverse, and Draw 2, No Mercy comes with Wild Draw 6, Wild Draw 10, Skip Everyone, Discard All, and the new Wild Colour Roulette - a card that forces the next player to choose a colour and then draw until they get a card of that colour.

In addition to new action cards, many popular house rules have been included in the actual rules. Stacking is legal. 7s swap and 0s pass hands. And when you can't play a card, you must draw until you can play.

But the biggest change in UNO Show 'Em No Mercy is the Mercy Rule. If you ever have 25 or more cards in your hand, you get kicked out of the game.

UNO Show 'Em No Mercy comes with 168 cards (compared to 112 in standard UNO).

For 2-6 players. Age 7+

Taco! Cat! Goat! Cheese! Pizza! is as unique as its name. It's a power packed quick and simple punk party game.

This is a high octane rowdy cousin to Slap Jack and Irish Snap, and it's filled to the brim with hand slapping mayhem!

Each player places a card from their hand (like snap and dobble) face up in a community pile while saying taco/cat/goat/cheese/pizza in player sequence - when the card matches the mantra - boom - everyone slaps their hand on the deck - the last one picks up the cards - the winner is the player to lose all their cards first.

For extra fun, there are special action cards – the gorilla, narwhal, and groundhog, which players have to make gestures before racing to slap the deck!

 New York Times bestseller!

Boys can be anything they want to be! This timely book joins and expands the gender-role conversation and gives middle-grade boys a welcome alternative message: that masculinity can mean many things. You won’t find any stories of slaying dragons or saving princesses here.

In Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different, author Ben Brooks - with the help of Quinton Wintor’s striking full-colour illustrations - offers a welcome alternative narrative: one that celebrates introverts and innovators, sensitivity and resilience, individuality and expression.

It’s an accessible compilation of 75 famous and not-so-famous men from the past to the present day, every single one of them a rule-breaker and stereotype-smasher in his own way. Entries include Frank Ocean, Salvador Dali, Beethoven, Barack Obama, Ai Weiwei, Jesse Owens, and so many more-heroes from all walks of life and from all over the world.
