Skull is a pure bluffing game: players lay face-down cards of roses and skulls, then bid on how many they can flip without hitting a skull. Two successful challenges win the game — a steady poker face does the rest.

Players select a card with six themes at the start. During each turn, one player rolls a theme dice followed by a color dice and letter dice to determine the first letter of a word related to the theme.

The game ends when there are no chips left, and the player with the most chips wins.

Players explore the sea to discover animals with their research ship. Beware of the giant octopus, which will try to envelop your ship. The game features an innovative tilting mechanism that activates when a ship is caught by the octopus. The player who discovers the most different animals wins the game.

The game consists of tiles that depict either a docked spaceship or a flying one. The active player reveals a tile; if it's a docked ship, they place a pilot chip on it and ask another player to place a co-pilot chip. Everyone then closes their eyes while the active player hides the ship in the room, and if it's a flying ship, the player must find it within a set time to win chips.
