Riff Raff
Players take turns secretly selecting a numbered card and then place one of their wooden cargo pieces onto the corresponding space of a swaying wooden ship. Bottles, sailors, rats and other figures go onto the hull and three protruding yardarms, and each placement can change the ship’s balance. When the ship tips, pieces may fall; fallen items can be caught by players, while any uncaught pieces are added to a player’s pile. The objective is to be the first to get rid of all personal pieces through careful placement and quick reflexes.

Evan2.5 This is a dexterity game where each turn you play a card. That card is spent for the rest of the game and matches a section of this topsy 3d wooden pirate ship. Your goal is to place or hang one of your differently shaped wooden pieces on that labeled section with the end game goal of having the fewest pieces left. When something falls that you aren't able to catch, you get it back and it counts against your score. The limitation of the card play is both one of the best and worst things about the game, because it adds this level of strategy that's both interesting and frustrating.
Mitchell C7.2 Visually stunning and a great dexterity game@
