Each player takes his turn placing a magnetic stone in the playing area, without touching the others, at the risk of picking them up. The first to get rid of all his stones wins the game. To push the other players to the fault, you can move the rope during your turn, make the stones move using the magnetic field of your own stones, place the magnets vertically to cover a wider area, or even place the stones near the stones each other to cause a chain reaction. In short, it's a real strategy game.

The goal of the game is to make your partners guess words as quickly as possible. But one letter is forbidden. To play, you must install an application on your phone.

Top Ten is a cooperative game where you have to answer questions with more or less logical and useful answers. The captain must put the answers in the right order and if he succeeds, he wins. For example: what object was it necessary to have during the sinking of the Titanic? The least useful might be 'a flute', the most useful might just be 'a time machine'. It's up to you to see if your humor is rather logical or absurd.

Here, the players divide into two teams. One of the team members has his teammates guess several objectives. He first chooses a card with a theme from among the three proposed, and an action - drawing, speaking, miming, or humming. The time of an hourglass, he must then guess the five propositions on the back of the card, avoiding the forbidden proposition. The point-counting system is supposed to determine the winners, but it is useless. The objective is therefore to have fun rather than to compete.

Here you will have to guess the different automatic suggestions seen on search engines. The challenge is to think like the Internet. A referee and two teams compete, the reds and the blues. The referee kicks things off by reading a sentence, for example, "I want my ex…". The players then have 40 seconds to give a maximum of proposals for the end of the sentence. There is no established order, everyone can speak at the same time. As soon as a team gives a proposal written on the referee's card, or which comes close to it, for example, "come back", "suffer" or "die", the referee gives them a token. Tokens with smiley faces (funny, shocked, cute…) count double.
