We have played a few games and it is very different to other TCG's and etremely good fun to play. I have searched the internet for a good tutorial and this seems to cover the mechanics well...

So fat we have only had a small amount of stock for it including one of each of the 6 starter decks. More stock is due to arrive next week and once it does I will put together a demo kit. So we should be able to teach this game by next weekend. 

Anger Smash

Today we have added two new games to our Library, the first one is this very simple card game for two to five players.

Anger Smash is a light strategy set-collecting card game that will have you on the edge of your seat as tensions rise and alliances shift. The theme revolves around the concept of maintaining a balanced state of mind, represented by the Anger and Zen sets you must collect. Ideal for family and travel!

The gameplay is deceptively simple: Players race to collect four matching Anger cards and four matching Zen cards. However, the real excitement comes from the strategic use of Bloodboilers (events that make your blood boil) and Disruptors (sneaky cards that can hinder your opponents). Players must carefully decide whether to focus on building their own sets, sabotaging others, or forming temporary alliances to obstruct the leader.

The game is fast-paced, with each round offering players the choice to draw a new card, take a matching card from the centre pile, or play a BloodBoiler or Disruptor card. The tension ratchets up as players get closer to completing their sets, and a single well-timed move can often determine the winner.

Wonky

In Wonky, players try to get rid of the cards in their hand by stacking blocks on top of one another, ideally setting up the blocks so that someone else takes a spill and gets stuck with more cards in hand. The trick to doing this are the special blocks in the game: nine blocks — with three each in small, medium and large sizes — with three of the block sides being flat and three being curved. Set up the blocks in the right way, and you can block an opponent's path to victory.
