Push Marbles, Jump Walls, and Walk in Tiny Shoes

In Mabula, each of the two players start with 12 marbles in their color on the perimeter of the playing area. Placement of the marbles is randomized as long as no color has more than two marbles in a row, even around a corner.

On a turn, a player chooses a marble on the perimeter of the board, then moves it as many spaces as they wish across the board. If other marbles lie in this line, push them ahead of this marble, with the only restriction being that you can't push a marble so far that other marbles are pushed into the perimeter of play. Keep taking turns until no player can go. Whoever has the largest orthogonally connected group of marbles wins.

Alternatively, you can decide before starting that a player's score will be the product of the sizes of all of their groups. In this situation, the maximum score is 81 (3x3x3x3).

Play Tip-Top to decide all of these important questions in your daily life — or compete solely for fun, of course! Each player has a pair of shoes, and starting from a distance of the players' choice, they move toward one another turn by turn, heel to toe, the distance becoming smaller with each step. Crossing your feet is fine, but cheating is prohibited! Whoever fits in the last gap wins. The loser has to...well, what was the challenge again?

Boloko is played on a linear track that folds back on itself to form a 5x5 grid, with walls defining the corridor. Each player starts with ten pieces, with two pieces on each of the five spaces closest to their end of the board.

On a turn, a player rolls two six-sided dice, then uses the numbers rolled to move forward one or more pieces; if you roll doubles, you receive double movement, as if you had rolled four of that number. If you roll a 1, you can move a piece forward on the track like normal or move it over an adjacent wall so long as it moves toward the end of your track. If you land a piece on a lone opponent's piece, that piece is pinned until you move all of your pieces off of it.

If all of your pieces form a single connected group, with part of that group on the final space on your end of the track, you win.
