Fluxx - It all begins with one basic rule: draw one card, play one card. You start with a hand of three cards, add the card you drew to your hand, and then choose one card to play, following the directions written on your chosen card. As cards are drawn and played from the deck, the rules of the game change—from how many cards are drawn or played or even how many cards you can hold at the end of your turn.
Pyramids - The pyramids are not so much a game, as a game system—like a deck of playing cards, a set of components that can be used to play all sorts of different games. Looney Labs has been making and playing pyramid games for almost 25 years.

Each player chooses a team and then purchases team upgrades and drafts special ringer characters to help defeat their opponents. This pregame draft keeps every game of Kaos Ball exciting, unique, and strategic. Using an inventive cash system, players choose how to invest their money.
Dogs of War - Dogs of War is an elegant game set in a steampunk-influenced renaissance universe. Noble houses engage each other in a series of fierce battles, and it is up to the players and the Dogs of War they control to deploy their private armies in support of whatever house they wish to favor. Clockwork knights and imposing war machines shift the tides of war as they enter the battlefields, but the interest of their Dog of War captains actually lies in the rewards offered by each noble house to its supporters.
