 Assassin Board Game.

Assassin Board Game by Avalon Hill; ASIN: B00001N2OJ

In Assassin, players travel across the European game board foiling murder attempts or completing an assassination plot. This game transports you into a web of espionage and intrigue where survival is a balance between wits and nerve.

Dinosaurs of the Lost World by Avalon Hill; ASIN: B00001N2PD

You're stranded on a plateau high above the jungle floor in remotest South America. You compete with other players to collect enough scientific treasures and make sufficient discoveries to attain a means of escape while avoiding obstacles, including fearsome prehistoric creatures like the Elasmosaurus and the Dimetrodon.
Players in this exciting game must outfit their expeditions, select the adventures they want to attempt, and choose their battles wisely. Comic strip-like Adventure Charts guide you through the steps, but every adventure is different, affected by Event and Experience Cards that come into play as you move around the game board. Avalon Hill has created three games in one: there's a version for kids (8 and older), one for adults, and a solitaire version as well.

Jumanji by Hasbro; ASIN: B00000IVZN

Players must try to reach the game board center and call out "Jumanji!" before being overcome by the dangers of the jungle: raging rhino, lurking lion, slurping quicksand, and more. On the roll of a die, each pawn is moved along a path. Depending on where they land, players may block another pawn with a rhinoceros figure, require rescue by fellow players, risk being sucked back into the treacherous undergrowth, or get trapped in the jungle with everyone else. And you don't even want to hear about the Doomsday Grid. Includes a huge game board (36.5 inches by 18.5 inches), pawns, rhino, timer, number die, rescue dice, rhyming danger cards, game board center, decoder, and label sheet. For two to four players.

Palenque Board Game by Timbuk II Games; ASIN: B00000IZLT

Palenque take you in search lost Mayan treasures and treks in the unforgiving jungles of Central America. Based on the historical discovery of the ancient Mayan city, Palenque, by explorer John Lloyd Stephens in 1840, the object of this game for two, three, or four players is to recover stolen Mayan treasure and return it to the government. Players not only enjoy their treasure hunt, they also learn about Mayan history, culture, language, and the geography of the region. Includes clear instructions, board & cards with Mayan designs, player's tokens shaped like 3-D busts of archaeologists, historical information, and a pictorial glossary of Mayan artifacts. For two to four players.

 Spy Alley Game.

 

 Spy Alley Game by R & R Games, Inc.; ASIN: B00000ISXY

Challenging for adults yet easy enough for children. Players become a spy for their given country and try to uncover their opponent's identity, while keeping their own identity secret. A little bit of paranoia helps with secret agents from all over the world following you around the board as you try to pick up clues to their identity and keep your own well hidden. Use your tokens, play money, cards, and scoreboards to try to complete your own mission and force your opponents to give up valuable information--but watch out for the fabled Spy Alley, which might lead to untold dangers or the lucky break you need to win the game. Up to six players.

Wadjet Board Game by Timbuk II Games; ASIN: B00000IZH3

Wadjet takes players on a journey of archaeological discovery, based on historical facts surrounding the opening of King Tut's tomb by Howard Carter in the 1920s. There's a lot to learn about ancient Egypt's customs and people while players race to be the first to uncover treasure that has been stolen: the first to find enough treasure wins the game. Includes well-written instructions, Egyptian motif board & playing cards, players' tokens shaped like 3D busts of archaeologists, a detailed account of Carter's find, and a beautifully depicted photo gallery and descriptions of artifacts from Tut's tomb. For two to four players.
