Featured board games for Chinese New Year 

Mahjong | Mahjong is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century.

Go | Go is a two-player game where players take turns placing stones on a board to capture territory. The game is played on a square wooden board with 19 vertical and horizontal lines, creating 361 intersections.

Sushi Go! | Sushi Go! takes the card-drafting mechanism of Fairy Tale and 7 Wonders and distills it into a twenty-minute game that anyone can play. The dynamics of "draft and pass" are brought to the fore while keeping the rules to a minimum.

Maki Master | In Maki Master, you compete with your fellow chefs to complete the most valuable orders. You can concentrate on short and simple orders to get bonuses quickly or take your time to make complicated masterpieces for big rewards!

Onitama | Onitama is a two-player, perfect information abstract game with a random starting set-up. On a 5x5 board, both players start with five pawns on their side, with the main pawn in the middle. ~ We also carry 3 expansions ~

Tokaido | In Tokaido, each player is a traveler crossing the "East Sea Road," one of the most magnificent roads in Japan. While traveling, you will meet people, taste fine meals, collect beautiful items, discover great panoramas, and visit temples and wild places, but at the end of the day, when everyone has arrived at the end of the road, you'll have to be the most initiated traveler—which means that you'll have to be the one who discovered the most interesting and varied things.

nekojima |Nekojima is a wooden game of skill and dexterity in which you have to keep an entire installation in balance. Players take turns placing or stacking denchuu—電柱, or electrical poles—respecting the locations without any hanging cables touching. Be careful not to be the one to bring down the structure. This game requires reflection, concentration, and skill.

Steam Up | Steam Up: A Feast of Dim Sum is a competitive 2-5 player, light-medium weight Dim Sum set collection and action management game offering a delicious cultural experience.

Rising Sun | In Rising Sun, players are encouraged to use diplomacy, negotiation, and even bribery to further their cause. Players can make deals at any point in the game, but no deals are truly binding.

Tsuro | Tsuro has an Asian spiritual theme—the lines representing the "many roads that lead to divine wisdom," and the game as a whole representing "the classic quest for enlightenment.".

Core Connection is a deck-building card game for 2-4 players in which you take on the role of a pilot of a Resonant, a giant mecha, fighting to free society from the tyrannical reign of its oppressors! 

Aang's Destiny | Players will take on the heroic role of Aang and his allies and play cooperatively to defeat adversaries, complete objectives, and make their way through the Four Nations to restore balance to the world and fulfill Aang's destiny as the Avatar.

Featured RPGs for Chinese New Year 

Hearts of Wulin | Hearts of Wulin is a game of wuxia melodrama, powered by the Apocalypse. Players take the role of skilled martial artists in a world of rival clans, conspiracies, and obligations. The game emulates films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Chinese wuxia TV series like The Smiling Proud Wanderer and Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain; and Chinese martial arts novels from the second half of the twentieth century.

Legend of the Five Rings | Mortal schemes, natural calamities, and celestial turmoil alike have disrupted the political, military, and spiritual equilibrium of the land. Long-simmering rivalries and fresh betrayals ripple through the courts and on the battlefield.
