Kinkajou:
The kinkajou (/ˈkɪŋkədʒuː/ KING-kə-joo; Potos flavus) is a tropical rainforest mammal of the family Procyonidae related to olingos, coatis, raccoons, and the ringtail and cacomistle. It is the only member of the genus Potos and is also known as the "honey bear" (a name that it shares with the unrelated sun bear). Kinkajous are arboreal, a lifestyle they evolved independently; they are not closely related to any other tree-dwelling mammal group (primates, some mustelids, etc.).
Native to Central and South America, this mostly frugivorous mammal is not an endangered species, though it is seldom seen by people because of its strict nocturnal habits.

Box of Spells Rules:
Objective
Simple: to have the most treasure at the end of the game!
Game Preparation
- For newbies we recommend removing the ‘advanced’ cards from the deck for the first few hands. The list of advanced cards can be found below.
- Shuffle deck and place at the center of the table.
- Deal 5 cards to each player (players may look at cards).
Gameplay
- The player to the left of the dealer begins and gameplay moves clockwise.
- A player’s turn begins by drawing a card from the deck and ends upon putting a card from one’s hand into one’s Realm. (If it is not your turn you should always have 5 cards in your hand.)
- In between drawing a card and putting one down the player may take unlimited actions with the cards in his or her Realm.
- An Item may not be used the same turn it is put down into one’s Realm.
The Realm
A player’s space on the table, consisting of a Keep, a Sanctuary and a Spellhold. The first objective of the game is to obtain these three Edifices, under which players will put their corresponding Items (ie Treasures, Relics and Elements). Players may only have one of each at one time.
- Keep (yellow border): Edifice for Treasures
- Treasures (yellow border): The Keep is where you keep your treasures, silly.
- Sanctuary (green border): Edifice for Relics
- Relics (green border): Magical items with different effects used during one’s turn.
- Spellhold (purple border): Edifice for Elements & Advanced Spells
- Elements: Magical ingredients which are combined to cast Basic & Advanced Spells. Basic Spells and their effects are in the 2 Spellbooks.
- Advanced Spells: More powerful spells which require 3 or more Elements as well as the Advanced Spell card.
Hidden Cards
Players may hide one card under each Edifice. These cards are not protected from theft, but may be used or switched during gameplay.
Enchantment
- An Edifice or Item may be ‘enchanted’ either with an enchanting relic or via the Basic Spell: Enchant.
- The enchanted Edifice or Item must be turned upside down and may not be used until the enchantment is removed. You may not use or place Items into an enchanted Edifice.
- Any enchantment may be removed via the Basic Spell: Dispell. An enchanted Edifice may be replaced with a like Edifice from one’s hand.
Protection
- Items may be protected from theft either via an Item Aura card or the Basic Spell: Item Aura.
- Protected Items may not be stolen with relics or Basic Spells.
Winning
- The game ends when all of the cards from the deck are gone.
- Sum all of the treasures in one’s Keep, and subtract any treasures in one’s hand.
- The player with the most treasure wins!
