Robot Master is an easy to learn puzzle game from the mind of award-winning game designer, Dr. Reiner Knizia.
How does it play? Take turns placing numbered cards down on a 5 x 5 grid to score lines both vertically and horizontally. The scores for each line are determined by the sum of the cards. Here's an example:
(1 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 0) would score 12 points.
Sounds easy, right? Well, here's a couple of twists:
First, pairs of cards anywhere in the line count 10x their face value. Here's an example:
(1 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 0) would score 25 points.
Second, triple cards anywhere in the line count 100 points regardless of face value. Here's an example:
(0 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 0) would score 103 points.
That's all there is to it but remember that your final score is only your lowest scoring line, and you want the highest score possible!
So build evenly and don't neglect weak lines...
FEATURES
- Solo play: compete against players from around the world as you strive to be the best on the online High Score table!
- Versus play: challenge a friend (Pass'n Play) or the AI to go head to head. This time, one player takes the columns, and the other takes the rows. The player with the lowest scoring line loses!
- Not feeling our music? Play your own and still enjoy the game's sound effects.

Oasis Poker is a variant of the popular card game Caribbean Stud Poker. Unlike standard poker games, Oasis Poker is played against the Dealer instead of against other players.
Oasis Poker is played in the following steps:
1) Player pays ante and cards are dealt.
2) Player has the option to pay ante amount and switch one card with a new one from the deck.
3) Player can place a bet equal to twice the ante amount or fold.
4a) If Dealer's Hand is Ace / King or better, then Dealer's hand qualifies. Both hands are compared and if Player wins, a Bet Payout is made based on the value of Player's hands. See "Payouts" table for more details.
4b) If Dealer's Hand is weaker than Ace / King, then Dealer's hand fails to qualify. Player has option to pay ante amount to have Dealer switch his highest value card for a new one from the deck. If Player doesn't want to do this, they receive an immediate payout equal to the ante amount.
Since Bet Payouts are only made when Dealer's hand qualifies, the Player might want to buy the Dealer a new card if the Player's hand is high enough (Part of the strategy of Oasis Poker is figuring out when it's worth doing).
More information about rules, payouts, and card rankings are available in-game.

The animals in the jungle are on the prowl! And it's up to you to create the correct path to lead them to their destination.
The rules are simple:
1. You must fill up all 9 tile squares on the grid.
2. You can't have an invalid path. ie leading off the board to nothing or not connecting up properly with another path.
3. The middle tile is not movable.
The controls are even simpler!
* Left-Click a tile to pick it up. Left-Click a tile to put it down.
* Press SPACE while holding a tile will rotate it.
* Left-Click the Skull to sacrifice 5 seconds of time to reset the board for a new puzzle. (do this if the current puzzle is too hard)
Can you create a path from the Hunter to the Rhino? The Explorer to the Idol? Be careful though, sometimes animals aren't always looking for what you'd expect. Hover the mouse over them for a hint.
The clock's ticking; good luck!
