A Word game for poker players

This is a challenging contest that will have you reaching for you chips AND your dictionary! This game follows the same basic structure as Texas Hold'em (combine the cards in your hand with the face-up cards in the "flop" to make the strongest poker hand), only the playing cards also have letters on them. You must use your cards to spell a word, and then make the best possible poker hand using only the cards in the word.  On The Spot Games feature intuitive game design for quick learning, engaging play with a pledge of “guaranteed fun,” face-to-face interaction, and portability, Rob Mathewson of On The Spot Games told TDmonthly.

Can you Zero In™ on the names of your favorite celebrities?

Listen to clues and try to Zero In™ on the names of the celebrities that they describe. Players take turns posing as celebrities, giving other players clues so that they can guess the celeb's identity. Watch out! The clue can be tricky and you only get one guess for each celebrity. A player reads clues for other players until someone guesses the celebrity's name or clues are exhausted. If you're the first one to Zero In™ on the celebrity name, you win the points for the last clue read. The first player to reach 12 points wins.

Kotsuku is a grid-based game with an added competitive dimension as players vie to be the first to complete a word in the grid. Players take turns placing letters in the grid one letter at a time.

Words may be vertical, horizontal, diagonal either frontward or backwards. Use your letters wisely and be sure not to leave an opening for your opponent!
