Material: An 8 by 8 square board. 28 cat pieces and 28 dog pieces (represented respectively by black and white pieces, or other contrasting colours).

Objective: The player who makes the last move wins.

Rules: Each player alternately places one of their pieces on an empty square. The Cats begin. The first cat must be placed in the centre zone (indicated in the picture) and the first dog must be placed outside the centre zone.

When placing a new pet on the board, players may not place a cat next to a dog (horizontally or vertically) or a dog next to a cat.

Materials: A 7 by 7 square board with a white piece and enough black pieces (about 40).

On this board, the square marked [1] is the first player's end square, while the square marked [2] is the second player's end square.

Aim: A player wins if the white piece moves to their end square (either the player or their opponent makes the move) or if they are able to block their opponent, preventing them from playing.

Rules: Each player alternately moves the white piece to an adjacent empty square (vertically, horizontally or diagonally). The square where the white piece was located receives a black piece. The squares that receive black pieces cannot be occupied by the white piece.

The game starts with the white piece on the e5 square (as shown in the initial diagram).

Materials: A hexagonal board with five squares. 45 white pieces and 45 black pieces.

Objective: When the board is full, calculate the product of the sizes of the two largest groups of each colour (anyone with less than two groups gets zero). The person with the highest product wins. If these are equal, whoever has the fewest pieces of their colour in play wins.

Rules: On their turn, players must place two pieces of any colour on two empty squares. Black starts. Black plays only one piece in the first move.

Piticot is a game that can be played with 2-4 players.  To be able to play this game we need a dice, a pawn (of different colors) for each player and a game board.

 How to play Piticot

 To determine who starts the game, each player will roll the dice in turn, and the player with the highest number will start.  To move forward on the game board, each player, in turn and in the established order, will roll the dice and advance a number of spaces as indicated by the number on the dice.  The player who manages to reach the last box first (the one with the number 65) is declared the winner.

 If a player, following the roll of the dice or due to the instructions of the special boxes, ends up on a box that is already occupied by another player, he will take his place and the player who occupied the box will be sent to the first box.

 The meaning of special boxes

 No.  5 – wait a turn

 No.  10 – go back to 1

 No.  14 – advance to 17

 No.  18 – return to 15

 No.  24 – get out of the game

 No.  28 – return to 27

 No.  33 – advance to 40

 No.  39 – go back to 34

 No.  43 – advance to 46

 No.  47 – go back to 46

 No.  52 – wait a turn

 No.  55 – go back to 51

 No.  58 – advances to 61

 No.  60 – wait a turn

 No.  64 – advances to 65 and ends the game

 No.  65 – game over

 If, by rolling the dice, a player does not stop with the pawn on the number 65 (or 64), he will count and move the pawn up to box 65 and then return as many points as he has left over.

Colored wooden sticks are thrown on the game table. The players, one at a time, have to remove one stick from the pile without moving the others. A player has the right to take sticks as long as they do not move any other sticks from the pile. Then the next player continues. At the end, each player collects the points for each stick. The player with the highest score wins.

Score:

yellow stick = 2 points

green stick = 2 points

blue stick = 10 points

red stick = 20 points

black stick = 100 points

I played it with my son, too.
