THE YELLOW HOUSE, CAPYBARA'n'CABYBARA and GIRAFFE RAFFE: It's Mandoo day!

Post by DrClick »

With three games being released today, all published by Mandoo, it is up to you to decide which one is the best for your gaming time!
 
1) THE YELLOW HOUSE

Van Gogh and Gauguin debate what is important for drawing. It is a very special climbing game for two players. You must play one card from the elements that have not yet been played this trick among the four elements: money, inspiration, passion, and skill. If the value of that element is low, you must play additional cards to increase its value before playing one card. The player who goes out first scores the last card played and wins the round. Win the game by winning three rounds first or by scoring the same element twice.

2) CAPYBARA'n'CAPYBARA

Capybaras love to eat pumpkins. You will need the help of the baby monkey walking above to pick up the pumpkins that the capybaras like to eat. You, the players, play as capybara bosses, aiming to line up your capybaras well to earn lots of pumpkins!
In Capybara, you will form a line of capybaras to score Pumpkin cards. You will move the baby monkey above the row of capybaras to carry out different actions. You gain Capybara cards by moving the baby monkey forward to the left, gaining capybaras for the number of spaces moved.
You can also score Pumpkin cards by forming a row of capybaras that meet the Pumpkin scoring conditions, moving the monkey to the left to score them.
 
Fond of capybaras? You can try this game by Hisashi Hayashi right now from your browser:

3) GIRAFFE RAFFE
 
Hungry giraffes gather under apple trees, all craving apples!
You lead a herd of them to gather fruit... but you always have to go higher and higher until you cannot anymore!
In this game, you must play cards or spend Apple tokens and if you cannot, you are the sole loser of the game. Be sure to lead your herd to the right trees!

We would like to fondly thanks the Mandoo team as well as for Moof, the developer who adapted all of these games for Board Game Arena.
Enjoy the games, let us know which one you prefer, and as always...
Take care and play fair!

Giraffe raffe scoring is fundamentally broken because of the ELO calculations. As there is only one loser, everyone else ties. You can "win" the game and lose more ELO in the ties than you win for beating the other player.

Can this game please be calculated with zero interaction with the winners as they all end up in the same "team".
