A fast and fun strategy game that is both simple and sophistcated at the same time. The object of the game is to create a row of five marbles, in any direction. But the mind twisting part is that you will also twist one of the four game blocks as part of your move. This causes the game board to constantly change, making for a perpetually challenging game experience, both for beginners and masters alike.

Award winning family game - Perfect for Family Game Night!

Prestigious Mensa award.  Each player uses small, large, wild and exotic animals and their young to try and attract as many visitors as possible to their zoo. But be careful - the zoo must be carefully planned.  Before you know it, you have too many animals and no more room for them.  That brings minus points!  Luckily, your zoo can expand.  A zoo of a family game in which less is sometimes more ...
Take Carcassonne everywhere you go. The scoring track is printed on the cloth carrying sack, which has room for all the tiles and followers. Of course, all components are a bit downsized to make it more convenient to carry along, but the game is the same great game that won the Spiel des Jahres award in 2001! The Game Invented on the seat of a tractor!  Fresh from the country. So much fun, some people say it's the best game they've ever played, others call it addictive. This international award-wining game has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. So educational, it has been used by homeschoolers and thousands of schools around the world. So realistic, World Bank had it translated into Russian to assist farm privatization.

Warning: This family game is so much fun it may become habit-forming!

Probably the most important feature of the entire game is that it is far more than just a game, it’s a mini eccentric encyclopedia of useful information.

The educational value for GO mental® is a perfect score.  The Toy Man review, Dec 2007.

Despite what you think you know about trivia games, this one's unique… The Steal and Challenge cards are brilliant innovations in themselves, adding significantly to the excitement of the game, keeping everyone involved regardless of whose turn it is.  Bernie (Major Fun) DeKoven, October 2007.

There is nothing odd in this list:  PLAY, FUN, LAUGH, LEARN.  They all apply to GO mental!  Verbatim: The Language Quarterly, Holiday 2005

We’ve just spent an entire weekend playing – and loving! – GO mental.  We marvelled at the brilliance of the construction of the groups with the odd one out being tough at times but that adds to the fun and the amazement when the answer is read.  Gloria Rosenthal, The Wonderful World of Words, November 2005.

The most reliable test about the potential success when it comes to games is:  Will you want to play this game over and over with friends and family?  That often boils down to the ability to engage everyone playing, even when it isn’t their turn.  GO mental is one of the best games we’ve seen at doing exactly that.  The National Parenting Center, Holiday ’04.

Mission Statement...
HL Games is a Chicago-based, independent board game publisher dedicated to producing high quality, intelligent and exhilarating games with a focus on a unique combination of entertainment and education that we call “edutainment™”.  Designed to engage all ages from 8 to 108, our games blend humor with strategy, creativity with play, and laughter with learning to provide both quality playtime and good old-fashioned fun.  Whatever the occasion, whether it’s for family or friends, for children or adults, for game enthusiasts or educators, HL Games’ award-winning games give everyone a turn for the better.
Company History - =

Our first game was created in the mid-80’s by two very bored guys sitting in a trading room intent solely on proving how clever they were.  Like most folks engaged in self-centered activities, they thought the rest of the world would love it.  It didn’t.  Simply being clever was simply not enough.  Never was, never will be.

The vision became HL Games, formed on April Fools Day 2003.

Since then, we’ve worked very hard to bring you quality games that teach without trying, that educate while entertaining so you can learn while laughing.  We’ve tried to make infectious our love of knowledge, our passion for challenge and our fervent belief that competition in a healthy social setting engenders a tolerance for human foibles that will withstand the most bigoted ignorance and cure it with healthy doses of informed and objective thought.  Oh, and underpinning the lofty ideals, was the requirement that our games also be plain, old FUN!

Tell us your visions for quality play in a world plagued by mediocrity and reproduction.   You are what makes HL Games – A turn for the better!™

The Short Word Game - Award winning game from the makers of SET.

Each player is the director of an expedition intent on exploring Tikal in search of the secret paths that lead to the temples and precious treasures that have remained hidden for over 1000 years.  A player receives points during four scoring rounds for each recovered treasure and for each temple that he controls. Both temples and treasures can change hands.  The expedition that earns the most points exploring Tikal wins the game. "Germany’s Game of the Year"

This game represents the famous 1672 pirate-led jailbreak from the fortress of Cartagena.  It is said that a game celebrating the great escape became popular in the pirate coves of the Caribbean. Each player has a group of 6 pirates and his objective is to have all 6 escape through the tortuous underground passage that connects the fortress to the port, where a sloop is waiting for them.
