Invoke the 4 auspicious beasts

The Lung Mei, or dragon paths, are lines of energy that cover the Earth. They are derived from the Four Auspicious Beasts: the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North. When a path runs in a straight line, that energy builds in power, but these paths can be broken up by barriers such as mountains, which diffuse the energy. Invoke the power of the Four Auspicious Beasts, carefully channel their energy through the Earth, and triumph in this battle for qi and wisdom that will shape your destiny and intertwine it with the Beasts of legend.

A primate game of blind negotiation

Gussy Gorillas are a peculiar group of primates that strive to keep each other gussied up and well-groomed. These apes remove dirt, insects, and debris from the difficult-to-reach and difficult-to-see places of each other’s fur. Players start out with a personal deck of face-down cards. Without looking at the card(s) in their own hand (but showing them to everyone else), players simultaneously trade or keep their hand, one or two cards at a time, to form a personal collection. Once all cards have been traded or kept, players tally their collections and the highest score wins — but pairs can cancel out and special cards are not always helpful, so trade carefully!
