• Neutral Kingdoms means provinces are no longer denuded when an empire is discarded. Even if you have given up on them, the people still live there and don't take kindly to strangers (not to mention former overlords).
• Deus Vult! is a religious expansion that allows empires to explore a variety of religions and the building of temples to their God or Gods. Not cheap, but what price Glory?

The museum’s storage is in chaos, and an incredible new discovery of amazing fossils is on its way straight from the excavation site. It’s time to see who can organize the fossils best.
All fossils are catalogued from 1 to 6, according to their type: dinosaur fossils, plant fossils, marine animal fossils, or the extraordinary ambers with insects preserved inside. But we can’t just store them randomly — first we need to understand what the museum already has, and then they must be placed in order, ideally grouped by type and without repeating one that is already on display. Space is limited, so we’ll have to choose and stack them carefully, and in the end we’ll see who is the best curator of our museum with the most organized collection.

“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” (Apocalypse 6:7-8)

Apocalypse is a trick-taking game where the goal is to score the fewest points. Each round, you play cards and influence the Apocalypse tokens at the center of the table. Watch them carefully: if they are all flipped, the rules change and the round descends into chaos!

Apocalypse is a redesign of Saika Banrai, adding a 5th suit, a 2 player variant and upgraded components.

The inevitable will come. Cities will fall.

Yet from their ashes, you may rise again.
Plan carefully. Endure wisely.
Preserve what truly matters.

Will your civilization be remembered as the one that left its mark?

· · · ◆ · · ·

Ashes & Amber is a competitive civilization tableau-building card game where cities are living stacks of cards: expand them, protect them, and rebuild them after devastating catastrophes.

- Build cities as stacks of cards and activate the top cards
- Protect your valuable cards or see them burn when the catastrophes strike
- Raise Wonders to show the world your accomplishments
- Achieve greatness by saving your Amber to the end but beware when the major event is triggered

· · · ◆ · · ·

The game unfolds across five eras, Prehistory, Antiquity, Middle Ages, Age of Discovery, and Modern Era, one era per round.
You build your civilization by creating cities. A city is a stack of cards, and only the top card can be activated. The more cities you have, the more cards you can activate and combine.
But the more cities you have, the greater the danger, because at the end of each era, a Catastrophe strikes.

If you do not protect your valuable cards properly, they will turn to ashes. You will need to acquire cards to protect them.
One card in particular is precious, your Amber card. You have it from the beginning, and it symbolizes the resilience of your people through time.

If you protect it and shape your civilization wisely, your Amber card can become a major source of victory points in the final era, when humanity reaches its defining moment. You see this goal from the start and plan your strategy around it.

Players will use five different decks, one per era, for a total of over 700 cards. Each player also selects a unique personal deck, a Tribe, with asymmetric mechanics, which they will develop throughout the game.

Player interaction is indirect, with players racing to claim cards from the shared display, from vital protection to powerful Ambition cards that shape the final score.

The game features 19 unique Tribes, each with its own distinctive play style. Some encourage greater player interaction, others sacrifice a strong start for a spectacular finish, and others bend the rules in unconventional ways.

Build. Burn. Rise Again.

Beijing is a strategy game in which players aim to maximize the prosperity and prestige of their province. They must call upon diverse courtiers like scholars, monks, warriors, and craftsmen to help them manage their province and withstand various unfortunate events. After twelve rounds, which represent the twelve months of a year, the player who best manages their province and endures these challenging times will earn the most honor and victory points.

The game consists of exactly 12 rounds, symbolizing the 12 months in a year. After the event and any decay, players move their scoring marker forward for each of their streets, each musician, and each spiral on their scrolls. The game ends after the scoring phase of the 12th round.

Additional Victory Points are awarded person tiles, Monks, and money. The player with the most victory points wins.

Beijing revitalizes In the Year of the Dragon, staying true to its core while introducing fresh improvements and increased variability. With refined mechanisms and new strategic options, Beijing enhances the tension and depth of the original.

In Bollywood Blockbuster, players become directors of their own Bollywood movie productions. They hire actors and cast them in roles that match the genre aptitudes shown on their cards, such as Comedy, Romance, Action, and Drama. Extras are also available. They add only a small value, but they can fill any role without counting as a miscast.

During the game, actors are displayed in a casting area and can be hired with money. Players may pay to refresh the available actors before hiring a new actor or producing a film. Since money is often tight in movie production, a completed production can also be used to take out a loan.

To produce a movie, the director assigns actors from their hand cards to the required roles. Actors who fit their roles add their points to the production, while miscast actors add nothing. A production without any miscasts receives a bonus. Some of the game material is adjusted during play, as the value of a completed movie production is written on its tile and reduced by hand if that production is later used for a loan.

The movie productions take place in the major Bollywood movie cities Mumbai, London, L.A., Berlin, and Cannes. The chosen city matters, because each production is ranked against the others at the same location and scores victory points based on its position. After all players have completed their productions, they add up their victory points. The player with the highest total has created the biggest Bollywood blockbuster and wins the game.

Capsule Collector is a set-collection game for 2–4 players in which players compete to gather and open colourful toy capsules. Players draw cards from a deck and add them to a communal queue, then choose a colour and take all available cards of that colour to fill a 4×4 personal collection grid. Because cards are initially collected "capsule-side" up, players must strategically activate Action Tiles to flip them to their "toy-side" to score points. The game features a dynamic action system where the number of cards collected in a turn determines which tile is activated, and tiles are shifted after use to change the available actions for future turns. The game concludes when a player fills their 16-card grid, leading to a final scoring phase. Toys vary in rarity; for example, a colour set like red might contain three high-value "5-star" toys, five "3-star" toys, and ten "1-star" toys, which shifts the probability of a big score depending on the colour's total card count. To maximize points, players must use "Open" actions to flip connected groups of the same colour or spend Open Tokens for individual reveal.

In Cena, every move is shared and every alliance is a risk. Set around a medieval banquet, this trick-taking game transforms the table into a web of shifting loyalties, where your fate depends as much on your neighbors as on yourself.

You don’t win tricks with your own card alone. Each play is part of two simultaneous alliances: one with the player on your left and one with the player on your right. Together, your cards form the winning combination, forcing you to cooperate, anticipate intentions, and quietly influence outcomes on both sides of the table. Reading the game becomes essential.

Cena blends classic trick-taking rules with a unique alliance system and constant tension between cooperation and sabotage. At the end of the feast, your score reflects the performance of both your neighboring alliances, rewarding those who can balance trust, deception, and perfect timing.

You may notice that your daily communications are filled with abbreviations, shorthand, and emojis, which are often auto-corrected by predictive technology. Thankfully, there is a task force dedicated to celebrating and preserving the richness of our language.

Your mission, as a defender of the dictionary, is to protect the diversity of language from the forces that seek to oversimplify it. Armed with your collective wisdom, you must use your words to navigate the city and stop the villains from diminishing the beauty of language. After all, knowledge is power, and it must be cherished.

In Defenders of the Dictionary, players will cooperate to navigate the city of Wordopolis via letter-and-grid-based wordplay. For each mission, you need to achieve a specific task and follow a particular direction with your words before running out of turns. Completing a mission helps you gain valuable intel about the villains and advances your campaign.

Defenders of the Dictionary takes the familiar gameplay of grid-based word games and flips it on its head. You will need to collaborate together within this system, navigate specific directions, and overcome the challenges and obstacles set by the villains.

The campaign is composed of many short games where each game represents a mission. Each mission may include some new and some previously introduced mechanisms. The campaign is designed with gamer group flexibility in mind so it's not necessary to play every mission with the same group of people. Complete all the missions to determine which villain was the mastermind, and face-off with them in the final showdown.

The Shadow Veil wants to cover the land with darkness, so your challenge in The Four Doors is to collect the relic from behind each door, then gather everyone at the beacon in order to light it.

On a turn, a player takes up to three actions: drawing a card, moving to an adjacent door, giving a card (or relic) to someone at your door, illuminating a shadow card from your door by discarding a card that bears a lantern of the same color, or finding a relic by discarding four cards of the color matching your door. Each adventurer has a special power that modifies an action or offers a new action.

Each door has a relic behind it, and once you find a relic, the holder can use its power by discarding a card bearing the relic's symbol, sometimes as an action on its own, sometimes not.

To end a player's turn, they draw two cards, then place "shadows" from the deck equal to the shadow level. If a fourth card would be placed on either side of a door, flip the card to its partially closed side; if the door would flip a second time, remove it from play. If the players don't already have this relic, they lose.

Each time players need to shuffle the deck, the shadow level increases — and this level will increase more quickly as the game progresses since some cards, such as spells that provide a one-time effect, are removed from play instead of being discarded. If you have no cards to shuffle or the shadow level tops out, the players lose.

In Drops of Evil, players take on the role of witches competing to brew the most powerful poison.

Gather ingredients from the forest by sending out your Familiars, then combine them in your Alchilab, a powerful device used for the synthesis of lethal mixtures.

Place Ingredients strategically to improve their toxicity and unlock bonuses. Recruit shady Assistants and follow grim Recipes to make your draught even more wicked. Can you brew the deadliest poison?

EvenGlow is an light-strategy puzzle game that’s all about balance. Players are planting magical gardens with a sunlight and moonlight side. Turns are simultaneous with the active player choosing two plants for themselves and two that all other players will receive.

Pairs of plants must then be placed in mirror opposite positions of the garden, one in sunlight and the other in moonlight. Evenglow features gorgeous watercolor art from Clèmentine Campardou (Wyrmspan, Origin Story).

Flame & Forge is a new and completely standalone game from 1 to 4 players. It’s a Worker placement, deck-building, push-your-luck full of interesting choices and really fun meeples! This time we will be dwarfs marching into a city on flames to raid resources, forge powerful weapons and challenge monsters — and maybe convince them to join your side of the fight!

Will you save the city… or rule it? in Flame & Forge you choose your path before the game begins — cooperate or compete, the forge is ready for both. So you may join forces to take down the mighty red dragon before your city goes up in flames, or if your friends are feeling bold (and maybe a bit greedy), storm the castle to see who will slay the beast and rise as the next Dwarf King.

-

In your turn pick one of your dwarf meeples from your campfire and place them on the outskirt city tiles in the first spot to the left of the chosen tile and take ALL visible actions in this tile AND take damage to remove fire tokens, if another player places their dwarf in the same tile they may perform less actions than you. In your next turn, your options will be reduced: the next tile must be up by one line closer to the dragon's castle and adjacent to the tile your previously placed your dwarf. Once all of your dwarfs are out you retrieve them all and start from the bottom again.

• Get a Gem
• Spend Gems to forge a weapon card
• Spend Gems to advance in the knowledge track
• Perform a ranged attack
• Fight a monsters on the same tile
• Grant a success hit on a attack
• Retire a card from your deck
• Heal 1 damage

In the knowledge track you can also upgrade your dwarf workers to special meeples that give you actions, and also give special abilities to be used when they all return to you after they are all out.

A big element of the game is the battling system that allow for you to hit cards (in a push your luck) where the damage you deal and the damage you take comes from your own deck. Weapons you forge and monsters you defeat also go to your deck along with cards that will allow for the most varied actions (as long as you survive the fight) so many times you need to decide to either flee and perform the actions or risk it all to try and defeat the monster.

There are some arcade - boss battler - elements and the dragon fights back putting fire to the city and if any tile has 3 fire it will be destroyed and players will lose the game if 7 city tiles are destroyed.

The game ends when the dragon is defeated by one of the players. If you are playing coop then you will all win together, if before the beginning of the game you decided for the competitive game then you will count points to decide the new king.

Flipside is a cooperative adventure board game for 1–4 players, set in a surreal, ever-shifting world filled with strange creatures, hidden secrets, and dark humour. Players explore eerie landscapes, help locals, battle terrifying monsters, and make meaningful decisions that shape a branching storyline with multiple endings.

Gameplay Overview
Each game unfolds over a series of turns where players move across a modular map, explore mysterious locations, and interact with characters and environments. Using action cards, dice rolls, tokens, and special abilities, players work together to complete objectives, overcome challenges, and survive in a world that constantly changes around them.

Exploration & Combat
New areas are revealed by uncovering map tiles, triggering events, finding resources, and meeting NPCs. Combat is resolved through a combination of dice and cards, encouraging teamwork and strategic choices. As the game progresses, characters can upgrade skills and gain new powers, unlocking different paths through the story.

This cooperative game consists mostly of image cards and of tiles with letters (all consonants). The title is short for "Kurz geraten".
In each round, a player is a guesser who looks away while the others draw an image card. They then try to give the guesser a clue using their letter tiles. They can try to spell words or give a visual clue, whichever they think could be more efficient. When they are done, additional image cards are added to the table. Afterwards, the guesser tries to find out which of the images was the original one.
The game is played over 6 rounds with ascending difficulty, caused by more extra images and fewer tiles. When the guesser guesses wrong, the group loses a life. When they run out of lives, they lose the game.
At the expense of a life, all players can draw new letter tiles.

In a quiet realm between worlds, the greatest minds in psychology have created the Empathy Machine, a device that turns human experiences, events, and psychological knowledge into stories and riddles. In Look Inside, players use this machine to enter the lives and inner worlds of people facing different mental health challenges. Together, they observe what happens to them, discuss what they might experience, and make decisions from their perspective.

Each scenario follows a different protagonist with their own story and struggles and can be explored from different perspectives. In Anna’s scenario, for example, players may experience her story through her work life in one playthrough and through her family life in another, encountering different interactions and dreams along the way. Once explored, content from different perspectives can also be combined to create new variations of the scenario.

During Interactions, the protagonist encounters other people who may respond supportively or say something difficult. Players are given several possible reactions, but instead of choosing the “best” response or what they themselves would do, they must determine how the protagonist is able to react in that moment. To do so, they look inside the character’s inner world, where the current state of their challenges and overall well-being provides clues. Players interpret these clues together and agree on an answer before checking the result. During Dreams, players enter the protagonist’s dreams and try to send helpful hints by identifying elements hidden in dream illustrations. These elements represent techniques drawn from psychology, and players must again consider the protagonist’s current state to determine which approach might fit.

Each scenario unfolds over three chapters. By solving Interaction and Dream riddles, players can improve the protagonist’s well-being and change the state of their challenges. The players win together if all challenges reach their green state before the end of the third chapter.

It’s the annual Great Magic Cat Tournament at Felinor School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

In Magicats, players represent four prestigious cat clans battling to claim supremacy in the arena.
The game consists of two distinct phases: the Preparation Phase and the Battle Phase.
In the Preparation Phase, players position their cats on the board and equip them with magical powers, by strategically drafting from 11 different magic tokens. Each cat is equipped with four magic tokens to prepare for the fight ahead.
During the Battle Phase, the combat takes place at each turn, allowing the game to move fast and stay exciting. Players move their cats up to four spaces to engage opponents, with the distance between cats changing the dynamic of each encounter. When a cat takes two damages, it loses a magic token to the opponent who dealt the second hit. If a cat loses its final token, the cat itself is captured as a trophy.
The game ends when only one clan remains on the board, and the player who collected the most trophies (magic tokens and captured cats) is the winner.

What do a barista, an astronaut, and a fisherman have in common? That’s what you’ll try to figure out.

One player gives a clue that relates to each of the three professions in a different way:
One fits the clue really well (Perfect), one fits a little (Maybe) and one doesn’t fit at all (Not).

For example, take the word water:
A fisherman? Totally fits — they’re surrounded by it. A barista? Sure, they use water, but it’s not the main thing. An astronaut?
There’s probably not much water around them!
Your goal is to work together and match as many clues as possible.

In medieval Europe, trained physicians were a rarity. Traveling barbers did their best to care for the health of the people, and more than one of them may have dreamed of one day attaining the knowledge and reputation of a learned Medicus.

• Along the way, you gather rare remedies that you can sell at the markets.
• You deliver letters on behalf of the Church, earning the goodwill of the clergy.
• In monastic libraries, you search for healing recipes.
• In the great cities, you can acquire medical instruments, send your apprentices to train at the bathhouse, or heal the city lord and gain his favor. You may even meet the famous Medicus himself and receive his instruction.

In the end, it will become clear which of you truly has what it takes to become a Medicus!

GAMEPLAY

In Medico, each round you simultaneously and secretly choose 1 of 7 locations to travel to.
On your turn, you reveal the chosen destination in order to perform a main action there at the end of your turn.
Along the way, you can perform secondary actions at waypoints you pass—if you’ve planned your route well in advance. Since you only have 8 or 9 rounds available, depending on the number of players, every turn is important.
In the final scoring, you tally up and compare the points you’ve earned in various categories, such as recipe books, instruments, apprentices, and more.

Microlonies is an asymmetric strategy game in which each player controls a unique ant species, striving to ensure the survival and dominance of its colony.

The game is played on a modular map representing the insect micro-world: hunting grounds, strategic areas, environmental bonuses, and a highly contested central termite mound. Each player begins with their own anthill, the core from which their colony expands.

The game features 16 ant species, all fully asymmetric, each with its own rules, strengths, limitations, and playstyle. Mastering your species while understanding the behavior and threats of others is key to success.

Throughout the game, players will:

Deploy ants to claim hunting zones

Take advantage of environmental bonuses

Complete species-specific objectives

Adapt to the presence and pressure of rival colonies

The central termite mound can become a powerful strategic asset, granting significant advantages, but it comes with a critical responsibility: feeding your population. Overexpansion or poor planning may lead to starvation and collapse.

In Microlonies, every choice matters. Growth, area control, direct interaction, and resource management are tightly interwoven in a demanding game where only the most adaptive colony will prevail.

—description from the publisher

Microlonies est un jeu de stratégie asymétrique dans lequel chaque joueur incarne une espèce de fourmis cherchant à assurer la survie et la domination de sa colonie.

Le plateau est constitué d’une carte modulaire représentant le micro-monde des insectes : zones de chasse, emplacements stratégiques, bonus environnementaux et une termitière centrale convoitée. Chaque joueur commence avec sa propre fourmilière, point d’origine de son expansion.

Le jeu propose 16 espèces de fourmis, toutes entièrement asymétriques, chacune disposant de règles spécifiques, de forces uniques et de contraintes propres. Maîtriser son espèce tout en comprenant celles des autres est essentiel pour survivre dans cet écosystème hostile.

Au fil de la partie, les joueurs doivent :

Déployer leurs fourmis sur la carte pour prendre position dans les zones de chasse

Exploiter les bonus offerts par l’environnement

Accomplir des objectifs propres à leur espèce

Observer et anticiper les actions des colonies adverses

La termitière centrale peut devenir un levier stratégique majeur, offrant des avantages puissants, mais elle impose une contrainte constante : nourrir sa population. Une expansion trop rapide ou mal maîtrisée peut conduire à l’effondrement de la colonie.

Dans Microlonies, chaque décision compte. Croissance, contrôle territorial, interaction directe et gestion des ressources s’entremêlent dans un jeu exigeant où seule la colonie la plus adaptée survivra.

In Mythologies, you are the founder of a young civilization, drawing spiritual strength and power from the mythologies of the world.

Build your own pantheon by invoking gods and legendary creatures from cultures across the globe — Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Hindu, Zulu, and more — and earn their favor in your race to divine supremacy.

Each game begins with a unique combination of four mythologies, creating a “Sanctuary” where players will compete to select powerful entities. You'll use your strategic wits to draft cards, invoke deities, activate special abilities, and complete divine trials. But choose carefully: placing a card might grant immediate rewards, but those depend on the pantheon level the card is placed in, and sometimes you need to sacrifice your creatures for a greater gain.

Throughout four fast-paced rounds, you’ll tactically deploy your chosen beings into your pantheon grid, managing resources while triggering synergies and stacking combos. Draft wisely, balance strategy with sacrifice, and unleash divine powers to complete trials and outwit your rivals.
With every game offering 70 different setup combinations of asymmetric mythologies, quick turns, and rich combos, Mythologies delivers epic replayability in just 30 minutes.

Will your civilization ascend to legend — or be forgotten among the myths?

They were always here – not in our streets, but in our stories. Vampires, zombies, aliens: we took them for fiction. It was a warning. Because after the Blackout, reality tore open at four places on Earth, and out of the Rifts pour the Horrors of the Dark. Everything that officially exists, the Dark sees coming – which leaves only the ones who officially don't exist. You.

"NOAH – Not Officially Authorized Heroes" is a cooperative hand-management and monster-battling adventure that rewards forward planning and clever resource management. Each of you takes command of one of four asymmetric factions and, on every turn, recruits unique crew members from your deck to prepare your next strike. The twist: you never know when your turn comes around again – the turn order keeps shifting. So you weigh your options as a team and plan ahead, because the Horrors strike without warning too.

Along the way, multifunction cards open up clever options again and again – all the way to a pact with the Dark, which lends you its power for the price of a piece of Corruption. Take what you need. But what devours the world from the outside devours you from within – and time is against you either way.

And the best part: thanks to the clever Mix & Match system, you combine Horrors and Sites into a near-endless series of missions. No two games ever play the same. And because we've stripped the game down to what truly matters, you get full mid-weight-game depth that fits in any bag. Save the world while there's still a world to save – no one will thank you anyway.

Nokosu Dice is a trick-taking game playing Number Cards and dice in their hand to win mini-games and score points against the other players over multiple rounds.

In each trick, each player plays a card or die from their hand, and the winner of the trick scores a point. There is also a chance to win bonus points at the end of each round if the number of the tricks won in the round matches the last dice left OR if a player declares they would not win any trick for the round and actually won no tricks.

In Northgreen, you lead an exciting research project:
Make sure forests can grow again in Iceland!

To do this, you must effectively manage your own settlement next to the emerging forest: Plant cabbage and tomatoes, and raise sheep and Icelandic ponies. Invest in research and launch promising projects. Find the best way to balance agriculture with forest growth.

Northgreen is played over 9 rounds. In each round, you move your worker to a different main action. It’s important to always choose the right combination of main and secondary actions. In rounds with a harvest phase, your animals reproduce and you advance along your research track. In other rounds, you perform special actions during the delivery phase and determine a new turn order.

After 9 rounds and about 90-120 minutes of building your landscape and exploring the forest, the player with the most victory points wins!

Northgreen is an expert-level game where many paths lead to victory, and the best strategy must be discovered anew in every game.

Florence, 15th century.
The greatest cathedral of the Renaissance is under construction, and only the most skilled master builders will leave their mark on history.

Take part in the construction of the Opera Magna and become the most renowned master builder of the Renaissance.
Travel across the markets of the Mediterranean to acquire precious goods, refine them in your workshop, and deliver them to the grand construction site. Every decision shapes your path to glory.

PLAN, BUILD, AND LEAVE YOUR MARK.
Balance workshop upgrades and deliveries to become the most prestigious builder of your age.

AN ELEGANT AND DYNAMIC MARKET SYSTEM
Where the value of resources changes with every action.

Opera Magna is the result of a collaboration between two of the most respected names in the Italian board game scene: Tommaso Battista (designer of Barrage and D.E.I.) and Stefano Castelli (creator of Potion Explosion and Chamber of Wonders).

The game is a resource-management Eurogame built around mechanical elegance, delivering a deep and layered gameplay experience within a streamlined playtime.

Set in 15th-century Florence, the game casts players as merchants supplying the grand construction site of the Basilica. At the heart of the experience lies a dynamic market system in which resource values shift with every action, and where managing what you leave to your opponents is just as crucial as choosing what to bring into your own workshop.

In a hellish contest of risk and restraint, players try to survive thirteen tense tricks where ambition can turn into disaster. Winning is not always a blessing: a clever victory may bring rewards, but an ill-timed one can become a painful penalty. Each round asks players how far they dare to push their luck before greed ruins everything.

Oshaka Trick is a trick-taking game in which players face a difficult choice over how greedy they should be in each trick. Winning tricks is not automatically beneficial, and poor judgment can lead to significant negative points. Across 13 tricks, players must decide when to pursue victory, when to hold back, and how to avoid turning a promising hand into a disastrous score.

A stifling day in the big city. a lone P.I. prowls the mean streets, trying to keep one step ahead of the cops and rival shamuses. The case had seemed so simple at first, but considering the recovered documents, footprints, and that lone key... it’s clear that this was merely the entrance to a complex labyrinth. All you can do is keep asking questions. Search the harbor, chinatown, and main street. Watch the central station, civic center and cafes. Keep trying to piece it together, keep asking questions...

P.I. (Second Edition) is a new remake of the legendary deduction classic by Martin Wallace.

This second edition, released after 15 years, features brand-new artwork and introduces a dedicated two-player head-to-head mode. In addition, by scanning the QR code in the rulebook and downloading the companion app, players can enjoy a solo time-attack mode in which an App hides the clues for you to uncover.

In more detail..
In the original edition, scoring was calculated at the end of each round by summing points based on the success or failure of deductions made during that round.

In the new edition, points are tracked in real time for each individual deduction attempt, according to the result. In the first edition, points were awarded in descending order based on the order in which players successfully solved the case. In the second edition, however, once the first player successfully makes a deduction, the maximum number of points available begins to decrease with each subsequent round. This adjustment was made to allow for a faster pace of play in line with current design trends.

In the two-player mode, the game is no longer decided by accumulated points. Instead, each round is determined by whether a player’s deduction attempt succeeds, and the first player to win two out of three rounds wins the game. However, winning a round requires returning a hint token, which creates a penalty in the following round. For this purpose, the reverse side of the board is used, along with a dedicated scoreboard for determining round victories.

The solo mode represents the most significant change compared to the previous version. It introduces a real-time deduction format, where players score based on how quickly and accurately they solve the clues. Results can be uploaded to a server, allowing players to compete against others through a leader board system.

As you solve puzzles while enjoying beautiful scenery, your very own calendar comes together. Discover stunning views from cities around the world! A daily puzzle game where a new challenge awaits every day.

Inside the Box : 1 frame, 12 building blocks from various cities

Inside, you can play 2 player mode that competitive mode.

Robo Run is an innovative, cooperative board game for two players that challenges participants to escape a mechanical death trap using instinct, deduction, and silent coordination.

Silent Cooperation
The Factory never sleeps. Its security systems are programmed to detect any deviation from the norm. In Robo Run, players take on the roles of two malfunctioning—or perhaps, newly awakened—robots trying to win their freedom.

Toy Story: Navigate narrow tunnels while evading relentless toy shredders.
Cold Steel: Dodge lethal security lasers in a high-tech laboratory.
Heat of the Furnace: Survival in the sweltering depths of an ancient forge.
Thousand of Cogs: A steampunk nightmare of brass puzzles and ticking clocks.

The furniture store opens its doors and you throw yourselves into the search for the best pieces. But your personal taste isn’t all that matters: in the café, new roomies are waiting to move in with you, each with their own individual wishes.

After four days, you will see whose shared home is the happiest and therefore worth the most points.
So, load the truck, furnish your rooms, impress your roomies, and off you go!

Rooms & Roomies is played over 4 days. Each day, players start with the shopping phase, where they collect furniture tiles from the store and load them into their truck, and they can also take up to 1 roomie from the café. After that, during the furnishing phase, players place the tiles in their home. Each roomie has unique home wishes, so at the end of the game you score points for completing their goals.

Players face off in a clever contest of perception and timing, where shifting perspectives and spatial awareness redefine the rhythm of play. Every round brings a dynamic change in orientation, as cards literally rotate on the table, twisting strategies and alliances. It’s a mental duel of anticipation and adaptation as players harness the flow of verticals and horizontals to outmaneuver rivals and claim victory.

Rotate is a trick-taking game for 3–5 players that introduces a unique rotation mechanic: each card can be played in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, showing different numerical values depending on its facing. Players follow suit and compete to win tricks, but specific card interactions can trigger a Rotate condition, causing all cards in play to rotate 90 degrees and change their active values. Special “X” cards add further chaos by instantly flipping the entire field.

Scoring depends on which orientation (vertical or horizontal) dominates, creating a tug-of-war of tactical shifts. The player who best adapts to the ever-changing landscape wins.

It's a perfect day at the beach, and the only thing left to settle is whose sandcastle reigns supreme! Sandcastles is a drafting and tile-laying game for 2-6 players in which everyone building their own sandcastle, tile by tile, over 15 rounds.

Each round, one player reveals tiles one at a time and passes them around the table. Every player must decide in the moment whether to claim the current tile or hold out for something better later in the round — but once you take a tile, you're done for that round, whatever comes next. The tile you claim gets added to your sandcastle, a 5x5 grid anchored by your Starter Tile at the bottom center. Sand tiles build up from the ground following the rules of gravity, while sky tiles float at the top and drop down to rest on your highest sand tiles at game end.

Scoring rewards players for building strategically:
• Windows score based on how many appear in each horizontal row, with points jumping at specific thresholds.
•Starfish score when placed adjacent to others of the same color, and collecting all five colors earns a bonus.
• Shells, shovels, and buckets each carry flat point values, with end-game bonuses for whoever collects the most of each.
• Filling your top row with five sky tiles earns a bonus as well.

The player whose sandcastle totals the most points wins the title of Best Sandcastle at the Beach!

THE GREATEST ADVENTURE FOR THE FATE OF THE WORLD

Every 113 years, when a blazing green Three-Tailed comet tears across the heavens, something ancient awakens. From beyond time and memory, The Lost Tomb manifests—its location unknown, its purpose shrouded in mystery. A shifting labyrinth of impossible design, it rises from the fabric of reality itself, carrying within it the remnants of lost civilizations and legendary realms: El Dorado, Atlantis, Shangri-La, Avalon, Mount Olympus, Valhalla... all of them and more drawn into its depths. Older than history, older than myth, The Tomb is a vault of unimaginable power—where forbidden knowledge, priceless treasures, and world-altering magical artifacts of great power have been hidden from mankind since the dawn of time and existence. But the Tomb is not unguarded.

You are a member of a secret order, that for millennia, has stood as humanity’s final defense—The Eternal Order of Perseus. Your mission is absolute: find The Tomb when it appears, enter its depths, and ensure that nothing within escapes... and that no one from the outside claims its power. The Order stands against the ancient horrors lurking within—entities born of myth or nightmare—as well as the ruthless forces of our own
world—rogue agents, relic hunters, and war-driven factions—who dare to enter the Tomb in search of its power. All must be stopped... before the Tomb’s Secrets are unleashed upon mankind.

An elite operative, an Adventurer of the Order, sworn to safeguard the balance of the world. For if even a single artifact—or creature—were
to escape The Tomb, it could unleash chaos beyond comprehension... and alter the very course of Fate itself.

The prophecy is clear: when The Gorgon’s Head Comet vanishes from the sky, the Tomb will disappear once more—taking its Secrets with it
for another 113 years.

You have one chance.

Enter the Tomb. Survive its trials. Stop what must be stopped.

Or be lost to it... for eternity.

Stem & Branch (Thiên Can Địa Chi) is an approachable & fast playing strategy card game inspired by the animals and elements of the 60-year Eastern zodiac calendar. It was lovingly crafted for families and gamers alike in hopes of creating a rewarding and fun way to enjoy the depth of the Eastern zodiac.

You and the other players will compete or cooperate on a shared tableau to rebuild the calendar from beginning to end. By utilizing the elements and supporting the animals, players gain years throughout the game. Spend your time wisely as the player who contributes the most years will win.

Game Summary

The Stem and Branch cycle is represented in the 60-card deck, with each card symbolizing a year guided by a Spirit Animal and one of the Five Elements. As an Immortal, your sacred task is to nurture the Tree of Time by summoning and ascending the Spirit Animals from the Stream of Time and recording their progress in the Scroll of Time.

The cost to summon a Spirit Animal depends on its rank and Element Type, paid by expending matching Animals and Elements you control. Once summoned, Animals already on the board can share their Element Type, making it easier to summon and ascend more Animals.

In cooperative play, you work together to help all the Spirit Animals complete their journeys before the Stream of Time runs out. In competitive play, you compete for control of the Animals and Elements to devote the most years to the Tree of Time. The game ends when the Stream of Time runs out. You then add the years you gained and the one who has the most years will be the winner.

Can you and your team escape the infamous Filipino haunted house?
In this one-of-a-kind dynamic co-operative adventure game, you and your team attempt to escape the Purple House by flipping over doors in the correct sequence. Luckily, you are able to mark the doors with red paint to remember them - but will your teammates understand your markings? And will you be able to avoid the White Lady?

In Robotland, one of the twenty resident robots has had enough and has made its escape. Together with the remaining robots and your fellow players, can you figure out which one ran away before it is too late?

The aim of the game is to reveal the Runaway Robot. To do so, players take turns playing Robot tiles to figure out each other’s hidden Robots, trying to reveal as much information as possible. If you know each other’s robots, you will figure out the missing robot - but will you do so before you run out of clues?

Passions flamed and power waned. King Henry pursued Anne Boleyn for almost seven years before they were married. Those loyal to Catherine of Aragon did not accept Anne Boleyn, and considered King Henry’s first wife the rightful Queen. Those loyal to Anne Boleyn saw her as the future, the young wife who would surely give the King a son.

The Six of VIII is a trick-taking game played on a timeline. Each Queen has her own suit which is trump during her reign. Players must capture tricks containing crucial courtiers and score the most points. The suits, and the years on the timeline, are proportional to the lengths of the reign of each Queen, with Anne of Cleves being the shortest.

Players sit across from their partner and pass two cards face down to begin. Tricks are must-follow. Players win one point per trick, and any points on the cards in the trick. Four hands are played, and the team with the most points wins.

In the advanced variant, three cards are added: the King and two Spies. The King card is the highest trump. The zero cards are spies, lowly servants that go unnoticed, working to undermine the rival side. They come in black (for Catherine of Aragon) and red (for Anne Boleyn), but may reveal themselves as the 13 of the opposite suit.

There is also The Church of England card, which is given to the team with fewer points after scoring. Once per hand, it can annul a trick that does not contain the King.

A game for Collectors, created by Collectors.

In The Way We Collect, you are a minimalist but ambitious collector competing to build the most impressive collection of toys. Over a series of rounds, players secretly bid coins in simultaneous sealed auctions to win lots of toys, then carefully arrange their acquisitions on a limited 3×3 shelf — where every card placed must share at least one characteristic with its neighbours.

Toys are defined by four attributes: Color, Typology, Material, and Condition. When you move a group into a new Collection, matching characteristics with existing ones triggers powerful combos, earning you bonus cards. At the end of each round, you can also sell cards from your collections to refuel your budget for the next auction.

The game ends when the draw deck runs out. Players score points based on their ranking in each Collection category — but beware: toys left in the Attic cost you 2 points each.
Oh, and the box itself? It's part of the collection — every copy is unique.

In the Irish myth cycles, the land of Tír na nÓg is the realm of the Otherworld, the place where the Fairies lived and heroes visited on quests. It was a place just outside the realm of man, off to the west, where there was no illness or death or time, but only happiness and beauty.

The golden path to Tír na nÓg is open once more, and the greatest Celtic storytellers have gathered for a once-in-a-lifetime journey. When they return, they'll bring with them tales of the creatures they met and the adventures they lived. Over time those stories will become a saga — and the most epic saga will live on forever.

Journey to the Otherworld in Tír na nÓg by placing storytellers between story cards in the shared grid. When all storytellers have been placed, in reverse player order draft cards and add them to your hand. From your hand, you'll then add cards to your personal tableau: one card to hand, one card played. At the end of five rounds, score each row according to the rules on its corresponding goal card, and earn points for having the most connected story cards of each color. The highest score wins.

If we are able to maintain the health and diversity of our garden, then it will fill up with life and become a refuge for fascinating creatures. Hummingbirds and bees are the first to arrive, filling the air with color and movement, but if we stop and observe with more attention, we will discover a hidden and unknown world: tiny inhabitants abound in the mushrooms, puddles, and foliage. They are under our feet, living out their lives without being perceived...until we decide to look under the leaves.

Each turn in Under the Leaves is played in two phases: the placement of a garden tile, then the possible arrival of new beings. Whoever gets the most pieces in total wins.

A mountain town that had cultivated natural dyes for generations was transformed by the discovery of coal. Bridges and railways now span the valley, while sky lanterns—symbols of wishes and hope—once again rise into the night sky.

In Valley of Sky Lanterns, players take on the roles of local leaders. Over six rounds, they take turns selecting dice from the central board and placing them onto their own player boards.

Guide the growth of your beanstalk while diverting the plants of your neighbors. Tile placement is crucial as you must balance maintaining control over your plant’s direction with ensuring you have the right structure to support optimal bean growth.

The light engine-building tile game Vine leverages simple yet strategic gameplay, challenging players to develop the highest-yielding garden of pole beans. Prune your plant to create more options later in the season, close off sections to prevent unwanted growth, and let your vines climb high to maximize points by the end of the game.

A defendant stands trial, but the facts do not speak for themselves. The Prosecution must convince the jury of the defendant's guilt, while the Defense fights for an acquittal.

Courtroom: The Noir Trilogy is a competitive, team-based deduction game in a noir-inspired setting. Players divide into the Prosecution and the Defense, then investigate the same case from opposing perspectives. The teams take turns selecting evidence, keeping some discoveries private while revealing others, so each side must build its case from a different combination of shared and secret information.

During the testimony phase, both teams secretly choose which evidence to present to each witness, then reveal their choices simultaneously. Each side has limited opportunities to object and force the opposition to change its question, or to press a witness for an additional response. Once all witnesses have been heard, the teams organize their evidence and testimony into coherent accounts of events that support their own positions and anticipate the other side's claims.

One speaker from each team then delivers a closing argument. An evaluator from the opposing team checks the speech against case-specific key points and details that may persuade undecided jurors. Covering these points earns victory points, and the team with the higher score wins the trial. Courtroom includes three standalone cases, each with its own story and investigative twist.

Isle of Bears is a two-player card-driven abstract strategy game set in the summer of 2050, when Arctic sea ice has nearly disappeared. A group of homeless white bears drifts across the ocean in search of a new home and reaches a group of islands already occupied by black bears.

Each player controls one color of bears and a deck of action cards. On your turn, play one of three face-up cards to move, stack, swap, gather, scatter, push, or remove bears. Bears sharing the same space move together, and bears can stack on top of one another. The color of the top bear determines which player controls that space.

If six or more bears occupy the same space after an action is resolved, overcrowding occurs and the active player removes all opposing bears in that space from the game. Islands with no bears remaining sink and are removed from play.

A player wins immediately when every occupied space is controlled by the same color, meaning that the top bear in every remaining stack belongs to that player.

Every summer may be the coolest summer of the rest of your life. How will we survive?
