Flip & Skip is a two-player abstract strategy game that combines the simple skipping mechanics of games like Checkers with the challenging tactics of games like Chess. This version is a giant game that is played on a six-foot checkerboard.
It's just like regular Carcassonne, but GIANT! Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.
Kingdom Builder, but GIANT! In Kingdom Builder, the players create their own kingdoms by skillfully building their settlements, aiming to earn the most gold at the end of the game. This game will include maps from two different expansions, for new and interesting play!
Cascadia is a puzzly tile-laying and token-drafting game featuring the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. This game is just like regular Cascadia, but GIANT!!!
In the game, you take turns building out your own terrain area and populating it with wildlife. You start with three hexagonal habitat tiles (with the five types of habitat in the game), and on a turn you choose a new habitat tile that's paired with a wildlife token, then place that tile next to your other ones and place the wildlife token on an appropriate habitat. (Each tile depicts 1-3 types of wildlife from the five types in the game, and you can place at most one tile on a habitat.) Four tiles are on display, with each tile being paired at random with a wildlife token, so you must make the best of what's available — unless you have a nature token to spend so that you can pick your choice of each item.
It's just like regular Catan, but GIANT!!! In CATAN (formerly The Settlers of Catan), players try to be the dominant force on the island of Catan by building settlements, cities, and roads. On each turn dice are rolled to determine what resources the island produces. Players build by spending resources (sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore) that are depicted by these resource cards; each land type, with the exception of the unproductive desert, produces a specific resource: hills produce brick, forests produce wood, mountains produce ore, fields produce wheat, and pastures produce sheep.
Prehistory. Hot. Primordial. Dull. You’ve been dominating the Earth for longer than you can remember. Then again, with a brain the size of a walnut, you’ve also been standing there for longer than you can remember. Nevertheless, you’re completely sure that it’s been ten million and twenty-five years since anything interesting has happened. So you decide to cajole your buddies into a race across Skull Island. The winner is the first dinosaur to jump headfirst into the volcano. And you’re gonna need that head. Join RinCon special guest James Ernest in a session of his 25th anniversary game. This session is part of the Kids' Track

Experience the magic like never before with The UAG's custom-made oversized version of the beloved game, Potion Explosion. Dear students, it's time for the final exams of the Potions class! The rules are always the same: Take an ingredient marble from the dispenser and watch the others fall. If you connect marbles of the same color, they explode and you can take them, too! Complete your potions using the marbles you collect, and drink them to unleash their magical power. Remember, though, that to win the Student of the Year award, being quick won't be enough: you'll also need to brew the most valuable potions in Potion Explosion!

Asteroyds is a racing and pre-program game similar to RoboRally but with enough significant differences to make it stand out as its own design.
The UAG designed the components from the ground up with over 40 3D printed parts and a massive 3x4 ft map!
Each player takes on the role of a famous Shuttle Racer Pilot and they have been drawn to a deadly event put on by a mega-rich entrepreneur that has recently bought the Ujitos system.
The aim of Asteroyds is to navigate the highly dangerous asteroid field and pass through four gates. What sets the game apart from other games of this design is that almost everything in the race zone can move position, so the players need to plan with that in mind.
