If you collect Pokéballs you take either three different colors of Pokéballs or two Pokéballs of the same color (as long as four are available). If you catch a Pokémon you pay its cost in Pokéballs then add it to your playing area. If you reserve a Pokémon — in order to make sure you get it or why not your opponents don't get it — you place it in front of you face down for later catching; this costs you a round but you also get a Master Ball which you can later use as a Pokéball of any color.

キャットインザボックス (Cat in the Box) is a trick-taking card game from Japan based upon ideas from quantum mechanics. Players play cards from their hands of different values. But the colour of the card is not determined until the card is played and the cat is let out of the box.Played over three rounds for three players and four rounds for four players begin by making a bid on the number of tricks they will win based only upon the value of their hand cards. The cats on the cards have no colour at this point. Players will score for tricks they win and score more for completing their bid.As a player leads with a card from their hand they declare its colour. A player's marker goes onto the communal research board covering the value for that colour. Subsequent cards must have different values of the same colour if possible. However a player may declare that they do not have any more cards of that colour and so play the same value but in a different colour. That player now marks their own board for Do Not Have in that colour.The highest card of the colour lead wins the trick unless a card is declared as red the trump colour.Crucially all cards values and colours played out must be unique otherwise a paradox is formed ending the round.So if a player is holding a 1,3,6 and yellow is lead and only the yellow 1 remains open on the research board the player is forced to play their 1 card as a yellow. But if that player has already claimed they Do Not Have yellow (as above) and if the other colours are also blocked on 1 3 and 6 this causes a paradox. They cannot play thus ending the round and triggering a scoring.The player causing the paradox does not score and incurs penalty points also.Scores are accumulated over the rounds and the player with the highest total at the end is the winner.Players must balance trying to win tricks to their bid with avoiding forming a paradox forcing the round to end and incurring penalties. user summary

You are a team of newbie astronauts sent on an actual mission in an actual spaceship in actual outer space! Exciting right? It would be...if any of you actually knew what you were doing. Would have been nice to have at least one experienced pilot on board but now that you're here you'll just have to figure it out as you go along.In Noobs in Space a team of three to five players must complete a series of tasks and challenges together using what little knowledge you have. Not all hope is lost because each of you has a small part of the solution; you just need to figure out how to put it all together. While one player may know the task at hand but not have the resources to implement it those resources may be shared among three other players. They on the other hand do not know what is necessary based on the information they have. Since players cannot show cards to each other there must be a lot of clear communication and interaction by describing or reading out cards in order to gradually find out what should be done — and all of this must be done as quickly as possible.The story leads through several levels and each level consists of several tasks so the whole game is an action-packed event from beginning to end.

However it is suspected that there are communists hiding among your small production studio slipping “un-Patriotic” messages themes props and lines into your movies! Will you be able to find all the communists before your studio is shut down? Or will you be suspected yourself and banned from the industry?In the game each player will secretly be a Patriot Communist or Rising Star. Each round every player will have a unique Job to perform (such as the Screenwriter Gaffer Director Actor Editor etc). These jobs will affect what kind of movie is getting made that round what cards are in players’ hands and who will receive special information. Players can choose to skip their jobs to instead re-roll any two of the dice in the game. At the end of each round the players with stars showing on their dice will get to add a card into the movie.The added cards will be shuffled one will be removed and the rest will be revealed. The team with the majority of revealed symbols (including the symbols on that round’s movie poster) wins the round! Indicate the winning team for the round by placing that team’s matching film-strip over the movie poster. The first team to win 4 rounds wins the game! The Rising Star plays both sides by trying to make the game go to 7 rounds and making the 7th round a tie.Hollywood 1947 is a social deduction game. You must never show your cards or loyalty to anyone but you may say whatever you’d like about the cards you put into a movie or about your true allegiance. Open discussion about which cards were added into a movie is encouraged. However if you are a Communist or the Rising Star lying will often help you accomplish your goals since the majority of players will be Patriots.That’s a wrap. Most players get the hang of the game after only a few minutes. So let’s go make some movies but be careful who you trust!Hollywood 1947 is the 5th standalone game in the Dark Cities Series by Facade Games.

Each Wet Season turn they simultaneously select 2 cards from their hand: 1 to immediately place into their personal landscape and 1 to place into a communal row of cards called the Dry Season row. Players then exchange their hands and repeat until all cards have been placed.In the Dry Season players take turns selecting 1 card from the Dry Season row and immediately placing it into their landscape. When the Dry Season row is empty the game is over.Players have an opportunity to score points during both seasons by fully enclosing their paddies with paths. They will score for the size of a “closed” paddy which can be increased by adding houses as well as for farmers (a player’s family members) and buffaloes contained within the paddy. A player-specific “ancestor,” representing the guiding spirit of a revered forebear will also award that player additional points for achieving certain conditions.Strategically opportunities abound in the card-rich Wet Season when all share in a plenitude of resources and hands overflow with possibilities. Players must still think ahead to the Dry Season though when options will rapidly dwindle as the Dry Season row runs out of cards. The deck is micro and rounds are quick but a sustainable plan for organically generating points is a must across the seasons.In the end the player with the most points wins and may proudly boast of having the most fertile rice paddies in the region!

It is the middle of the nineteenth century and the age of steam is well underway. The Russian and Canadian governments eager to capitalize on the new rail technology to bring together their vast countries are sponsoring entrepreneurs to help build their railway networks. You are an investor seeking to take advantage of their generous offer to make your fortune. However your governments are not as benevolent as you first thought. They have begun to absorb fledgling rail companies taking them away from those who worked so hard to build them by regulating impossible standards for new technology. You will have to remain diligent to ensure you are not next.In 2005 Ian D. Wilson released 1861: Railways of the Russian Empire inspired by the railway development of Russia. In 2015 he released 1867: Railways of Canada which is a standalone game that uses 1861's core rules on a different map with a handful of variations to gameplay. Both are classic examples of the versatile 18xx system of train games. They are straightforward enough to be your 1st 18xx game while still offering the depth you want in your 100th game.1861 and 1867 are perfect as weeknight games as they can usually be played by experienced players in 3 hours. The games are staples at 18xx gaming conventions often as a palate cleanser after playing a longer title. What makes 1861/1867 in particular great entry points into the 18xx system is that the two games introduce the different game mechanics in phases. The beginning of a game only has Minor Companies running relatively simple operations and as the game progresses new mechanisms like Merger Rounds and the National Railway are introduced. They are great games to learn have a steady but ever increasing trajectory and speed and pack enough of a wallop to keep players returning to them time and time again.—description from the publisher

Trolls were not evil if you didn’t treat them badly they could even be helpful to those who treated them well. But they often played tricks on humans. Their magic power (trollkraft) could distort the vision of humans so the troll looked like a human an animal a log and a stone and even become invisible. But they also had some weaknesses. They couldn’t stand the sounds of church bells or steel not to mention the sight of sun.Trolls & Princesses is a “worker movement” game.

User SummaryNow YOU enter the courtroom during five fateful days of July 1885 when the future of a country hung in the balance and the defendant Louis Riel faced hanging on a charge of treason.From the publisherCanada’s westward expansion was very different than that of the United States. In the U.S. conflict in the westward movement was between the White Man and the Native Indian and a common language united U.S. settlers. Language however has divided Canada ever since General Wolfe united the country by arms at the Plains of Abraham.Canada’s settlers pushed westward led by fur-traders and trappers who were predominately French Catholic. These pioneers intermarried with the Native Indians producing a new race and a new culture – the Métis.When the Canadian government made treaties with Native Indians the Métis being neither Native nor White did not receive any comparable consideration. Wanting to protect their rights against the remote Anglo-Protestant government in eastern Canada resentment grew into rebellion in Manitoba's Red River Valley in 1869. Louis Riel led this resistance and forced the government into compromise resulting in the Manitoba Act.Due to his participation in the rebellion and in the execution of English Protestant Thomas Scott Riel himself was forced to flee to the United States. While residing there Riel obtained American citizenship.When trouble between the Métis and the government occurred further west in Saskatchewan the Métis recalled their former savior to lead them. Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont a local Métis leader initially worked toward a peaceful solution for their grievances. However this movement eventually grew into a resistance known as the North West Resistance. The Conservative government in Ottawa amassed a military force to crush it and finally did at the Battle of Batoche 9 – 12 May 1885. While Gabriel Dumont fled to the United States after the battle; Louis Riel was tried and hanged for High Treason in Canada.There are many reasons why the first Riel resistance succeeded and the second failed. The westward expansion of the railroad allowed the federal government to deploy superior forces rapidly to the field. Riel himself embraced unorthodox religious views – views that alienated the Catholic Church and its devout supporters who were the key to his first resistance’s success.

In Kinfire Delve: Callous' Lab a tactical and cooperative card game for 1-2 players you will fight your way through the well deck of challenge cards to reach Callous the Master of the Well and face him in an epic final battle.Callous' Well is made up of four challenge cards with Callous himself in the middle. As a challenge is defeated another takes its place with 57 challenge cards in total. As you face the challenges of the Well you may play a skill card from your hand only when it matches the color of the challenge card e.g. if you're facing a red challenge card then you may play only a red skill card. Some cards have two colors and some are white that is wild. If the card you play does not defeat the challenge you'll be able to add some progress to it and attempt it again though you may suffer a penalty for doing so.Other seekers can provide help by playing one of their own cards as a boost but beware. Running out of cards nets you an exhaustion card before you can draw a new hand. Exhaustion cards are never good but some are worse than others.Defeating a challenge provides you a reward such as regaining health or delving deeper into the Well which is represented by discarding unseen challenge cards. Once you've made your way to the bottom of the Well you'll face Callous himself. All Seekers share a health pool and if the pool reaches zero you're defeated. This is a game that requires teamwork and persistence as the wells of Atios are unpredictable and quite dangerous.-description from publisher

TECH? NO! Forget about expensive game systems emulators disconnected online games and high-priced yearly roster updates. TECHNO BOWL takes everything you love about arcade and video game football classics like Tecmo Bowl NFL Blitz and Madden and puts it all on the tabletop.1UP And as if that isn’t cool enough it also gives you a feature that gamers have long asked for but never gotten… until now! What is it you ask? As a coach in TECHNO BOWL you will design your own formations and plays. That’s right. Let me say it again. You get to design your own formations and plays.And I’m not talking about choosing several formation cards lining up elements on a chart or utilizing some other abstraction. This is putting the power to effortlessly create real football formations and plays into your hands.ZERO DOWN TIME Thanks to the BOX SPORTS ENGINE there is almost zero down time in the game [except for half time and timeouts of course!]. Coaches are constantly involved and the on-field players are always interacting with one another as skill checks and ever evolving plays result in: free actions reactions read-and-reacts and offensive and defensive adjustments. Add to that real world timers for setting up formations and selecting plays and you have a truly dynamic fast-paced tabletop football experience.UNPARALLELED FOOTBALL GAMEPLAY TECHNO BOWL delivers that authentic football feel like no game before it. Establish the running game by punching it in between the tackles or tossing it to a back for an outside sweep. Launch an air offensive while sitting in the pocket or throwing on the run with laser accurate throws directly to the receiver or exciting route passes where you lead the receiver in hopes of beating the coverage. Defense can run man zone and mixed defensive packages and bring the blitz. Oh can it bring the blitz!No matter which strategy you choose the gameplay will look feel and flow like a real football play.OPTIONS TECHNO BOWL is all about options and there’s a game mode team and play style for everyone. You even have the option to run an option!MODES There are five different modes of play. Each of these brings a different experience to the table.- TECHNO is 7-vs-7 with no skills and no field goals. - ALL TECHNO is 7-vs-7 with skills but no field goals. - INFERNO! It’s ALL TECHNO with more awesome and fire! [more later] - PRO is 8-vs-8 with no skills but includes field goal rules. - ALL PRO is 8-vs-8 with skills and field goal rules.Each of these modes offers a completely different game experience and I know what you’re thinking. How does adding an extra couple of players to the field [and the ability to kick field goals] equate with an entirely different mode? Trust me. Having that extra player on both sides of the ball quite literally changes everything.MAD SKILLS When playing in modes that utilize special skills and abilities coaches will have access to three types of players:- IMPACT - STAR - SUPERSTARThese players will come equipped with one or more of the 26 skills found in the game. That count of 26 skills doesn’t even include core fundamentals or INFERNO MODE specific skills.SKILL Speaking of skills TECHNO BOWL is a game of skill and not a random ‘dice fest’. The 2d6 rolls used for skill checks mean that coaches won’t fall prey to straight-line probabilities or random chaos. Winning is about getting the right match and modifiers to deliver a high percentage roll having a plan when you get an unusually poor result and knowing the right time to make a high risk roll for a shot at a very high payoff. Of course your formations play calling and player positioning create these opportunities.PLAYMAKER DIE The PLAYMAKER die powers some of the special skills in the game like stiff arms and spin moves allowing for sophisticated passive abilities to be triggered without the need for complex rules.TEAMS There are 32 teams in the MORE FUN LEAGUE [MFL] and each of these has its own unique play style. This means that you’re not just trying to get into the head of the coach that’s sitting across the table from you but that you have to take into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of the players on the specific rosters that you and your opponent are using.PLAYER SKILL RATINGS The player skill rating system ensures that coaches and spectators will know how well or poorly a player performs fundamental actions by simply looking at the jersey number! No need to look at charts or extended stat lines. The league skill cap manages team composition so that you are never taxed to remember an insane number of special abilities or which players have them. Coaches get beaten by other coaches and NOT the rules.Welcome to the More Fun League!

The (imaginary) passengers pay for their journeys. The more numerous and the more important the stations on a train's journey are the more money it earns for the company and its shareholders.In the game you and your fellow players can own up to 6 Mountain Railways 4 Coal Railways 7 forerunners of the National Railways as well as shares in 3 National Railways and 5 Regional Railways. The Major Companies (the National and Regional Railways) belong to their shareholders.

Will you take what you really want or a different card so as to deprive another player of something cool?At the end of each round players mark different things off on their score sheets corresponding to what they earned from the cards they selected. Players earn points for seeing sights collecting Australiana seeing animals and so on. After five rounds the player with the most points wins.

In Silver & Gold Pyramids you want to explore as many pyramids as possible and locate the tomb within each one.To start play each player takes four pyramid cards then keeps two of them face up in front of themselves. Shuffle the eight exploration cards each of which shows a different polyomino.On a turn reveal the topmost exploration card. Each player then marks off spaces in the shape of this polyomino on one of their pyramid cards. The first space covered on a card must be the entrance square. If you cover gems torches or skulls mark off these spaces on your personal player board; if you cover a potion erase two covered skulls. If you cover a red X mark one additional space either on this pyramid board or your other one; all marked spaces must connect orthogonally.If you cover the tomb on a pyramid board set that board aside and take a new board from the four on display or from the deck. When you've completed your second fourth or sixth pyramid of the same color — and the deck includes three colors — score the highest color bonus available.After seven exploration cards have been revealed the round is over. Shuffle all eight cards then start a new round. After four rounds players count their scores earning 10 points per tomb reached 5 points per pair of colored gems found 5 points for each round in which they covered at least one torch and their color bonuses after which they lose points based on the number of skulls covered. Whoever has the highest score wins.

In 1871 with Canada only four years old the Prime Minister calls for a massive undertaking: a transcontinental railway to link the established eastern provinces with the newly-added western province. Between them lay the vast undeveloped interior. It would be a nation-defining project opening up the resource-rich Canadian shield the fertile prairies and the breathtaking Rocky Mountain Cordillera shaping not only the economy of the young country but its identity as well.The Transcontinental is a medium-weight Eurogame with worker-placement and pick-up and deliver mechanisms about the development of the Canadian transcontinental railway.Players are contractors who work to complete the railway. They send out telegrams along a linear worker-placement track — reserving those action spaces for themselves — then take turns in telegram order loading and unloading to a shared train that travels across the country. Players can use these resources to complete developments ranging from lumber mills and farms to cities and national parks or they can use the resources to bid to extend the railway. Powerful one-time-use ally cards themed around a rich and inclusive cast of Canadian historical figures allow players to make powerful combined actions.—description from the publisher

At certain points along their path players must choose which quest they will complete. Completing one might grant a bonus but quests left untouched result in dire permanent consequences as the players move forward. These choices and challenges lead to new strategies making it so no two games of God of War: The Card Game are alike.Heroes in the game have several elements that make them unique. Each comes with their own dashboard that explains their special abilities and health totals in addition to tracking the number of cards a player can keep in their hand from round to round. Tokens are used to keep everything clear as heroes gain and lose health and build up their power so they can unleash a mighty special attack. Heroes begin the game with a unique starting deck of cards that will be augmented from additional decks as the game progresses. Players can construct their deck to focus on their strengths or look for ways to generalize their approach preparing for future quests that lie ahead. Each hero also has a unique standee that indicates which portion of the mosaic they are facing. With multiple heroes from which to choose numerous ways to build their deck and various different quests to attempt each game of God of War: The Card Game will be a new experience that will echo throughout eternity.—description from the publisher

It isn't easy being a zoo animal. The enclosures are far too small for your needs the daily routine is boring and the visitors to the zoo are too obnoxious. You have decided: You need to break out of the zoo ideally within the next seven days.There are multiple ways to escape in KuZOOkA but you need to work together with the other animals — in secret — to pool the trash left behind by zoo visitors and develop an escape plan that makes use of these items. Each player has one of the ten animal cards with a unique power and you play on a game board that features a path comprised of spaces in six colors with each space having a number in it.In each round a number of item cards is dealt out to players with 20-22 cards being dealt in the first round. Cards show a colored item e.g. a red ice cream spoon or a purple scarf. On a turn you place one of your animal tokens on the path farther than any other animal token say in the 1 red space or the 2 purple space to give some indication of what you have in hand. (The first player is limited to one of the first five spaces.) The next player places one of their tokens farther down the path and so on with each placement giving players a chance to suggest what cards they hold in hand. A player can use their animal power once during a round.At some point a player will decide that instead of placing an animal token it's time to attempt an escape. At that point all players reveal all cards of the color matching the location of the animal token furthest down the path. If you have more cards you gain experience stars equal to the number depicted on that space — and with experience stars you can purchase a higher starting experience level which means you'll have more cards in play including face-up cards visible to all. If you have exactly as many cards as the number depicted you gain experience stars as well as a universal tool card that counts as a joker. If you have fewer cards you fail.Shuffle all cards then deal out the current number of cards and start a new round. If during a round you manage to reach one of the six final spaces on the track and you have at least that many cards of the designated color you escape and win the game. If you fail to do this by the end of the seventh round you lose.You can increase the difficulty of KuZOOkA by requiring more stars to advance in experience level or by playing on the opposite side of the game board which requires you to win universal tools in order to succeed in the final six spaces.

P'achakuna takes you on a journey in the heart of the Andes together with your most loyal friend — your llama. The game includes both black and white llamas with you controlling one color and your opponent the other. White llamas move only through the green valleys while black llamas scale the barren mountains. Whatever the color however you want to visit mountain villages to deliver the dye that they desire ideally collecting dye for yourself along the way.In P'achakuna each player starts with one llama of their color in the center of the board in the white village with a white dye loaded on its back. The board is composed of hexagonal tiles that are either half valley/half mountain two-thirds valley/one-third mountain or vice versa. The tiles are extremely thick so that you can grab the mountain section of the tile and pluck it from the board. Six villages sit on the perimeter of the game board each corresponding to one of the primary or secondary colors. Each village has a random demand tile in it that shows two colors one in high demand and one in low demand; neither of these colors can match the color of the village.On a turn you may first rotate one unoccupied tile; by paying two dye resources from your personal supply you can rotate a second tile. You then must move each of your llamas at least one space but you can move them further if you desire and if the terrain allows them to do this. You rotate tiles to create long paths of valley or mountain so that ideally your llamas can travel far with each move.If you move a llama into a village you trade the dye on that llama. If the dye you carry isn't in demand in that village you simply trade that dye for the dye from the village say green for yellow. If the dye is in demand then you add 1-2 dye of that delivered color to your personal supply (depending on whether the demand is low or high) then you place a dye matching the color of that village on your llama. If you collect a color in your personal supply and don't have it in your scoring track you can place it in your scoring track. No matter what you replace the demand tile in that village making sure the color of that village isn't on the demand tile.During a turn in a village you can hand in four dye from your personal supply to acquire a new llama that is then placed in that village with a dye from that village on its back. Each llama moves on your turn and you can have at most three llamas.As soon as you have one dye of each of the seven colors on your scoring track you win.To hold the demand tiles the game includes a handmade fabric bag from Bolivia and Peru which supports the local community.

Some say Anansi is a trickster but he is a spider for sure and sometimes even a man. Let me tell you why he is also known as the Keeper of Stories: One day Anansi decided to gather all stories and become the wisest of all. After many years he finally had all the stories in the world but poor Anansi did not feel any wiser. Eventually he realized that true wisdom is not achieved by keeping knowledge to yourself so he decided to share his stories and inspire people with them — and believe it or not that was how this game was made!In the trick-taking card game Anansi you have to be smart about which tricks you are trying to get. Each trick represents a story but stories untold are worth only a little. If you can acquire followers — by playing a card not to the trick but for its indicated number of followers — you can match up your followers with stories to inspire them and inspiring all your followers should always be your goal because this grants you the trickster's favor and sweet bonus points.Note that cards played to gain followers can affect the trump suit which means that the trump can change several times in a game. It is up to you to adapt to the new situation!Anansi is in the same game line as Spicy with the game box and card backs being decorated with a special metallic print in purple. For such a rich and cultural theme publisher HeidelBÄR Games paired up with Nigerian artist Dayo Baiyegunhi and South African artist Emmanuel Mdlalose to create a unique and colorful look for the story world of Anansi.

As players remove valuable gold cards from the location decks silt becomes more prominent and gold harder to find.Each player starts Fool's Gold with six coins and 2-4 prospectors depending on the number of players. The game lasts five years (i.e. rounds) and at the start of each year each player receives an additional coin and an additional prospector giving you both more to spend and more on which to spend. Each year consists of two phases: the prospecting phase and the mining phase. During the prospecting phase the start player rolls ten dice then places the dice on the mines of the same number with 6s being placed in the central camp. Each mine has a path to it starting with the numbered die then spaces numbered 0-6. After placing dice on the mine paths players take turns taking one of these actions:Once everyone has passed the mining phase begins. Starting at mine #1 shuffle the mine deck then draw a number of cards equal to the product of the number of prospectors and the number of dice at the mine. Foul weather forces fewer cards to be drawn while false alarms might result in treasure being snatched away from everyone. Players then choose rewards from the mine in order of priority which is determined by the number of prospectors each player has at a mine (include those in reserve) and their location on the path; players must redetermine priority after each action at a mine. The player actions are:Once all standing miners have been removed roll the winter die and draw that many cards for winter. If any goods come up those layabout prospectors finally get to profit; if not tough cookies sourdough! After five rounds players compare their findings losing points if they've failed to collect gold from each mine. In addition each player must throw out all the gold from the mine where he found the most. Turns out it was so easy to find because it was fool's gold! Players then sum their nuggets and score 1-15 points for their gem collection. Whoever has the highest score wins!

The Portuguese canning industry developed throughout the 20th century going through periods of great splendor and of extraordinary importance in the social fabric of communities close to fishing centers. After the huge growth due to the immense supply of troops in Europe that World War II brought the industry went through a period of stability with the consolidation of the quality of the products and the establishment of markets abroad.Lata (tin can in English) is the name of the raw material for the containers in which the fish is packed and it also turned out to be a popular designation for the product. In this game players manage local canning companies in the 1950s and produce and sell the famous canned sardines or canned mackerel the two main canned fish in the first decades of the industry before the appearance of the very popular tuna.The game takes place over six rounds. In each round players buy a batch of fish tomato or olive oil which they then can use in their factory. These preserves will then be sold to markets. This operation will result in money that will be used to buy scorecards and increase the factory's production capacity.The order in which each batch of raw materials is chosen is given by an auction of action points that players secretly make by sliding their disk to the left on the action track of their individual board. Whoever gives up more opportunities for action chooses the best lot but it is clear that having more possibilities for action is vital to produce more and reach the best markets!The player with the most victory points (VP) which are awarded at the end of the game by the scorecards wins.Lata is the second game in the Quinas Collection following the success of Café the first game in the line.—description from the designer

Nefarious forces threaten the world as we know it and it's up to a small group of heroes to come to its rescue. With the enemy's minions closing in and innocents in peril our heroes will need to work together to stop the villain's plans and save the world — but will they be able to save it in time?In Marvel D.A.G.G.E.R. players work together to challenge the forces of evil. Play as iconic heroes like Spider-Man Daredevil and Black Widow and race across the globe to complete missions battle enemies and square off for the final showdown against the nemesis. Choose the best aspect for your hero pull off awesome combos and wait for the perfect moment to unleash your ultimate ability. Team up with your allies and take on dangerous threats as you become the greatest heroes in the world!In more detail D.A.G.G.E.R. stands for Defense Alliance for Global and Galactic Emergency Response and the Alliance and Emergency Response elements drive how the game is played with heroes needing to strengthen themselves via combos in time to take on the nemesis.There are two types of combo tokens: empowered tokens and primed tokens. When a hero becomes empowered they can later discard their empowered token to add one success to any attribute test they perform. When an enemy is primed a hero attacking that enemy can remove a primed token from them to add one success to the attack result which means more damage dealt.What's more each hero has at least one combo ability that requires either an empowered token on themselves or a primed token on an enemy to trigger. Triggering these combo abilities comes with an extra benefit: advancing the team-up track a resource shared by all heroes that's used to pay for team-up abilities the strongest abilities in each hero's arsenal.—description from the publisher

Timeline: Classic is a card game played using 55 cards. While other versions of Timeline are focused on certain elements (events inventions discoveries etc.) Timeline Classic is a highly engaging version that encompasses multiple themes in one convenient package. Was the pencil invented before Washington crossed the Delaware? Each card depicts an invention on both sides with the year in which that invention was created on only one side. Players take turns placing a card from their hand in a row on the table. After placing the card the player reveals the date on it. If the card was placed correctly with the date in chronological order with all other cards on the table the card stays in place; otherwise the card is removed from play and the player takes another card from the deck.The first player to get rid of all his cards by placing them correctly wins. If multiple players go out in the same round then everyone else is eliminated from play and each of those players are dealt one more card for another round of play. If only one player has no cards after a bonus round he wins; otherwise play continues until a single player goes out.Timeline: Classic can be combined with any other title in the Timeline series.

Time to enter a dungeon — a dungeon composed of dice! — to kill monsters and score as much as possible.In Dungeon Academy each player has a piece of paper that shows four dungeons with each dungeon being a 4x4 grid. The game lasts four rounds and in each round you will go through one of these dungeons. Each player also has a character card that shows some amount of life (red) and mana (blue) along with a special power.What's actually in a dungeon is determined by dice that you roll at the start of the round. You roll sixteen dice then let them settle in a 4x4 grid. The dice show red and blue monsters in both small and large sizes as well as blue potions and red strength. You decide where to enter the dice dungeon and which dice to pass through in a continuous line that can change directions only orthogonally and you draw this corresponding line on your personal grid until you exit at some other point of the dungeon without crossing over your line. You then claim the lowest available number card with the number of cards matching the number of players.Once everyone has finished drawing a line through the dungeon you trace out that path step by step removing life (1 or 2) to defeat red monsters (small or large) and mana (1 or 2) to defeat blue monsters (small or large). You place new tokens on your character as you pass through potions and strength spaces. Once you're through the grid you score points for the monsters you defeated and you choose one of four quests on your sheet for bonus points. (In the second round you choose one of the three remaining quests so your choices diminish over time.) In player order based on your number card you take one of the available treasures which provide points and powers. Your life and mana levels carry over into the next round.In the second and third rounds you replace one of the dice with a labyrinth die that can be passed through only in certain directions and in the fourth round another die is replaced with the big boss die giving you something giant to take on before ending the game and tallying your final score.

Game play in Heul doch! Mau Mau is simple but it may bring you to tears all the same when you give points away to other players.The game consists of 98 cards with 1-7 each appearing twice in seven colors. Each player starts with a random card face up in front of them as a personal discard pile as well as a hand of four cards. On a turn you must play one card from your hand following the familiar game play rules of matching the color or number. Ideally you want to play on your own pile but if the card you would play matches the top card of your left- or right-hand neighbor's discard pile then you must play it there instead!Maybe you can choose a card in hand that matches only your top card? If you have no valid play or don't want to give points away to someone else you can play the card face down on your stack showing the weepy onion on the card back. On your next turn you can play any card you like on your pile — except if it matches a neighbor's top card of course in which case you must give it away. (You can't play on a neighbor's onion card.)Once all the cards have been played everyone scores for the cards in their pile — but first they must count the number of onion cards in their pile. However many onions they have they must remove all matching number cards prior to scoring. If you have four onions for example you must discard all 4s — and this is bad since all cards score points equal to their value. If you have ten onions then you first discard all 7s then all 3s. Whoever has the most points wins!Heul doch! Mau Mau includes twelve special action cards that can be used to twist up game play when played instead of a number card:

The year is 2123 and the planet earth is becoming uninhabitable. New powers of interstellar travel make it possible for earthlings to find a new home. Competing teams of human explorers use space stations spread throughout the universe as bases for discovering new worlds and befriending aliens to help them in their quest. Explorer teams are not only racing each other but meteors are striking planets and threatening these new worlds as well. Will your team be able to reach a planet in time to use its resources and protect it from future meteor strikes?Cosmic Run is a quick push-your-luck space race for 1-4 players. On a turn a player rolls dice and must commit at least 1 of them to one of the various exploration tracks or to an alien card. Some of the tracks require multiple identical dice with the most valuable tracks costing many identical dice. However once a player commits a die it cannot be moved. So players have to decide between a conservative approach (making sure and steady progress along less valuable tracks) or an aggressive approach (pushing one's luck to try to move up the highly valued tracks).Players may opt to use their dice to befriend aliens rather than explore because the aliens provide special powers that can eventually help them move along their exploration tracks even faster.The game may be played competitively or cooperatively.

Legend tells of the abandoned Spectral Manor coming to life at the stroke of midnight on a Crimson Moon — an event that rarely takes place more than once per century. On that night and that night alone in certain rooms vast treasures appear granting unspeakable wealth to those brave enough to find and claim them. But those who enter this mansion do so at their peril as some rooms awaken ghosts and curses that claim any who are foolish enough to enter. Rumors speak of glyphs and sigils found within the manor only on Crimson Moon night; these markings offer hints and clues — indicating both where treasures can be found and where paranormal traps lie in wait.In Spectral players control competing bands of treasure hunters. These bands enter the Spectral Manor on the night of the Crimson Moon and race to uncover and stake out the locations of the treasures before midnight. As they discover and decipher the glyphs they can avoid rooms where demons secretly slumber and selfishly keep such information from their rivals. Meanwhile locations of the manor that promise to conjure the most treasure will see multiple clans clashing over the territory. Through deduction bidding betting and bluffing players will uncover and harness the secrets within. The game ends after a player has placed all of their treasure hunters or if all players consecutively pass. The band that claims the most treasure while avoiding cursed rooms will come away victorious.Spectral features multiple challenge levels — beginner mode standard mode and advanced modules — so that you can tailor the game to your experience.-description from publisher

Celt — Latin Celta plural Celtae — were an early Indo-European people who from the second millennium BCE to the first century BCE spread over much of Europe. Their tribes and groups eventually ranged from the British Isles and Portugal to as far east as Transylvania the Black Sea coasts and Galatia in Anatolia and they were in part absorbed into the Roman Empire as Britons Gauls Boii Galatians Celtiberians and Lusitans.Celtae is a worker swapping game powered by a rondel in which players choose actions to perform during their turn. On their turn players swap one of their three active workers with one of the three workers on the action space they wish to perform then they perform the action — which will be boosted if they have in their worker pool specific types of workers: farmers builders soldiers and nobles.Every player has a leader card assigned to their tribe at the beginning of the game. At a certain point on the game players will have to choose if their leaders stay on its regular side and like that gain a small number of points at game's end or forfeit those meager points and flip it to its heroic side which has much harder requirements for much larger endgame points.Each time the action marker on the rondel completes a full turn the player who currently holds the favor of Teutates places a progress marker on one of the progress cards next to the game board. At game's end only progress cards with progress markers will score so as the game advances players determine what will score...and what will not.—description from the publisher
