Two delicious games that play in 15 minutes, with different twists and mechanics: that is exactly what you want to wake your brain up at the beginning of the week!
First, let us introduce Khiva, a game by Johannes Goupy & Guillaume Scholz, for 2 to 5 players.
Since time immemorial, a continuous flow of caravans, loaded with riches, have crossed the desert. Khiva, a small setting in the heart of the desert, welcomes the most savvy merchants to acquire tremendous wealth. Welcome to Khiva!
In Khiva, you play the role of a merchant and try to attract the richest caravans thanks to a system whose sensations are reminiscent of tug of war. Bags of salt, luxurious carpets and teapots, so many riches to collect throughout the game to achieve your objective.
Once setup is complete, 5 cards are dealt to each player. These cards will allow you to move a camel. Players place in front of them 1 face down card that they will play for this turn AND a card that they pass to their neighbor on the left for subsequent turns. Players reveal their cards simultaneously. Each player moves the camel of the color they played in the direction of their Path. If 2 players have played a card of the same color, the one who played the lowest value moves the camel and collects the indicated wealth. The other player receives 1 gem as compensation. The played cards are put aside but still visible to everyone. The further we go, the more information we will have about the cards still present in the game.
The game ends as soon as one of the resources is exhausted. The winner is the one who has accumulated the most riches.

Second, let us discover a nice trick-taking card game for 2 to 8 players by Xavier Jauneault: Ekko.
EKKO is a shedding game in which you will have to get rid of your cards before your opponents. Be careful because at any time, if you have the Mirror card, you can steal the other players' turn and make them all draw!
EKKO is a real party game. During the game, all players must pay attention to what is going on around the table. Indeed, a player can, at any time, play a Mirror card and thus steal his opponents' turn. The Mirror card of a card is the one whose numbers are reversed compared to this card. For example, 73 is the Mirror card of the card 37. Playing a Mirror card allows you either to make all players draw or to get rid of a card! There is also a strategic aspect to the game, because when it is your turn to play, you play a card according to what was played by the previous player. For example, if I place my 02 (on which is indicated the minus sign), the next player will have to play less than 02, which is very unlikely since the cards go from 01 to 98, forcing him again to draw a card.
There is of course a tutorial, too, or you can also click the link below to discover more about the game and play it right from your browser:

Both of these titles were developed by Moof, who did an excellent job with the kind authorization of The Flying Games publishing and the related game designers authorizations.
That's it for your Monday double-release!
See you on Wednesday for more surprises.
Until then, take care and play fair...
KHIVA 和 EKKO：飞行运动会双重特别选拔。
两款美味的游戏只需 15 分钟，具有不同的曲折和机制：这正是您在一周之初想要唤醒大脑的东西！
首先，我们来介绍一下Khiva，这是一款由Johannes Goupy 和 Guillaume Scholz开发的游戏，适合 2 到 5 名玩家玩。
自古以来，满载财富的商队川流不息地穿越沙漠。沙漠中心的一个小城希瓦欢迎最精明的商人来此获取巨额财富。欢迎来到希瓦！
在 Khiva 中，您扮演商人的角色，并试图通过一种让人联想到拔河的系统来吸引最富有的商队。盐袋、豪华地毯和茶壶，游戏中有如此多的财富可供收集，以实现您的目标。
设置完成后，每位玩家会收到 5 张牌。这些牌可以让你移动骆驼。玩家在他们面前放置一张面朝下的牌，一张他们将在本回合打出的牌和一张他们将在随后的回合传给左边的邻居的牌。玩家同时展示他们的牌。每位玩家将他们打出的颜色的骆驼朝他们的路径方向移动。如果两位玩家打出了相同颜色的牌，则打出最低值的玩家移动骆驼并收集指示的财富。另一位玩家获得 1 颗宝石作为补偿。打出的牌被放在一边，但仍然对所有人可见。我们走得越远，我们就会获得更多关于游戏中仍然存在的牌的信息。
一旦一种资源耗尽，游戏就会结束。积累最多财富的人就是胜利者。

其次，让我们来发现一款由Xavier Jauneault设计的适合 2 到 8 名玩家玩的精彩纸牌游戏：Ekko。
EKKO 是一款脱牌游戏，您必须在对手之前出掉自己的牌。请小心，因为如果您有镜像牌，您可以随时抢走其他玩家的回合并让他们全部出牌！
EKKO 是一款真正的派对游戏。在游戏过程中，所有玩家都必须注意桌子周围发生的事情。事实上，玩家可以随时打出镜像卡，从而窃取对手的回合。镜像卡是与这张卡相比数字相反的卡。例如，73 是卡 37 的镜像卡。打出镜像卡可以让你让所有玩家抽牌或丢弃一张牌！游戏还有一个战略方面，因为轮到你玩的时候，你会根据前一个玩家打出的牌来打牌。例如，如果我打出 02（上面标有减号），下一个玩家必须打出少于 02 的牌，这不太可能，因为牌从 01 到 98，迫使他再次抽牌。
当然还有一个教程， 或者您也可以点击下面的链接了解有关该游戏的更多信息并直接从浏览器中玩游戏：
