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:

Until then, take care and play fair...
KHIVA 和 EKKO：飛行運動會雙重特別選擇。
兩款美味的遊戲只需 15 分鐘，具有不同的曲折和機制：這正是您在一周之初想要喚醒大腦的東西！
首先，讓我們來介紹一下Khiva，這是一款由Johannes Goupy 和 Guillaume Scholz開發的遊戲，適合 2 到 5 名玩家玩。
自古以來，就有絡繹不絕的商隊滿載財富穿越沙漠。希瓦是沙漠中心的一個小城市，它歡迎最精明的商人來這裡獲得巨大的財富。歡迎來到希瓦！
在Khiva 中，您扮演一名商人，並嘗試透過一種讓人聯想到拔河的系統來吸引最富有的商隊。一袋袋鹽、豪華的地毯和茶壺，您可以在遊戲過程中收集如此多的財富來實現您的目標。
設定完成後，每位玩家會發5張牌。這些卡片可以讓你移動駱駝。玩家在自己面前放置 1 張面朝下的牌，作為本回合他們將打出的牌，同時放置一張在隨後的回合中傳給左邊鄰居的牌。玩家同時亮出自己的牌。每個玩家將自己所玩顏色的駱駝沿著自己的路徑方向移動。如果兩位玩家打出了相同顏色的牌，則打出最低點數的玩家移動駱駝並收集所示的財富。另一位玩家將獲得 1 顆寶石作為補償。打出的牌被放在一邊，但仍然對所有人可見。我們走得越遠，我們就會獲得更多關於遊戲中仍然存在的卡牌的資訊。 一旦其中一種資源耗盡，遊戲就會結束。獲勝者是累積最多財富的人。

其次，讓我們來發現一款由Xavier Jauneault設計的適合 2 到 8 名玩家玩的精彩紙牌遊戲：Ekko。
EKKO 是一種出牌遊戲，您必須在對手之前出掉自己的牌。要小心，因為無論何時，如果你有鏡像卡，你都可以竊取其他玩家的回合並讓他們全部抽牌！
EKKO 是一款真正的派對遊戲。遊戲過程中，所有玩家必須注意桌子周圍發生的一切。事實上，玩家可以隨時打出鏡像牌，從而竊取對手的回合。鏡像卡是指與這張卡相比數字相反的卡片。例如，73 是牌 37 的鏡像牌。遊戲還具有戰略方面，因為輪到您玩時，您會根據前一位玩家打出的牌來打出一張牌。例如，如果我放 02（上面標有減號），下一個玩家就必須放少於 02 的牌，但這不太可能，因為牌從 01 到 98，迫使他再次抽一張牌。
當然還有一個教程， 或者您也可以點擊下面的鏈接了解有關該遊戲的更多信息並直接從瀏覽器中玩遊戲：
