The world you know no longer exists. There is no government. No army. No civilization. The United States has collapsed, and now thirty years after the war started, new powers finally try to take control over the ruined country, try to establish a new order, try to control others and create a new country, a new state: the 51st State.

51st State is a card game in which players control one of four powers trying to build a new country. Players put new locations into play, hire leaders, and send people to work in buildings to gain resources and new skills. To do this, every card in 51st State can be used in three different ways:

    Raze a location to gain many resources once.
    Deal with this location to gain one resource every turn.
    Build the location so that you can use its skill each turn.

51st State: Master Set marks the rebirth of the 51st State line, with this set containing 88 cards from the original base game, and 50 cards each from both the New Era and Winter expansions; one of these expansions can be mixed with the cards of the base game, but not both at the same time. The entire set has been rebalanced to offer a cohesive experience no matter which expansion you choose to use.

878 Vikings on aluehallintapeli 2-4 pelaajalle. Tarkoituksena on rohmuta rikkauksia ja kasvattaa mainetta ja perustaa uusi koti Englantiin. Vaihtoehtoisesti voit puolustaa omaa kristittyä valtakuntaasi noita pakanallisia viikinkivalloittajia vastaan. Viikinkipelaajat kontrolloivat vapaita norjalaisviikinkejä ja pelottomia hyökkäysjoukkoja, berserkkejä.

Useammalla pelaajalla, samalla puolella olevat pelaajat voivat tehdä yhteistyötä ja koordinoita strategioitaan. Englantilaiset aloittavan pelin hallitsemalla koko Englantia, mutta viikinkipelaajat hyökkäävät mereltä ja iskevät syvälle sisämaahan. Pelaajat päättävät koska peli päättyy Wedmoren rauhanneuvotteluihin. Se osapuoli, joka hallitsee useampia kaupunkeja rauhanneuvotteluvuoron lopussa, on voittaja.

Isot pisteet pelin historiallisesti tarkalle kansikuvalle, jossa viikingillä ei ole sarvia kypärässään.

Käyttämällä pelilaudan toimintoruutuja pelaajien on metsästettävä, kerättävä perusmateriaaleja, jalostettava näitä materiaaleja, kehitettävä tuotanto-rakennuksiaan, rakennettava ja ostettava laivoja ja ryöstettävä siirtokuntia. Saadut tulot ("tetrislaattoja") sijoitetaan pelaajien henkilökohtaisille pelilaudoille parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla tuottamaan tuloja ja (myöhemmin) voittopisteitä.

The Norwegians on ensimmäinen suuri laajennus A Feast for Odiniin. Lisäosaan kuuluu neljä uutta saarilautaa (Mansaari, Skye, Islay, Ulko-Hebridit). Näiden takapuolella sijaitsevat Irlannin rannikon viikinkisiirtokunnat (Waterford, Wexford, Cork, Limerick), joissa  norjalaiset viettivät talvea, kävivät kauppaa ja asuivat.
Nämä tarjoavat uusia strategioita ja uusia tetrislaattoja, kuten hevonen (6 VP,  2x5 koko) / raskaana oleva hevonen / nahka (vihreä) / vadmal (sininen) ja siat (1 VP, lisääntyvät joka kierros; 2x3 - 1 = 5 ruudun kokoinen) / yrtit ( oranssi) / sarvet (vihreä) / työkalut (sininen). Pelissä on kolmas laatikko laattoja varten ja se tarjoaa myös neljä vanhaa saarta (uudistetut  VP: t ja uudet versiot minilaajennussaarista Lofootit / Orkney / Tierra del Fuego).

Laajennukseen sisältyy toinen vuorijono (viimeinen kierros), lisää kahden hopean kolikoita, liha/papu ja riimut/öljy  -merkkejä, sekä  "pieni muuttopala", joka peittää yhden ruokaruudun kahden sijasta.

Uudistuneessa toimintolaudassa on kolme osaa, jotka voidaan kääntää ympäri eri pelaajamäärille (versio 1-2, 3 ja 4 pelaajalle). Tämä lisää pelaajien välistä interaktiota. Lauta sisältää uusia toimintamahdollisuuksia, kuten lihakauppa, hirvenmetsästys, kalastus ja varkaudet, sekä muutoksia joihinkin vanhoihin toimiin. Nyt on helpompaa esimerkiksi pelata eläinstrategiaa myös siksi, että voit nyt saada kaksi samaa eläintä yhdellä toiminnolla. Laudalla on myös uusi viides sarake, jolla voit tehdä viimeisellä viikingilläsi paremman toiminnon! Voit esimerkiksi takoa malmilla ja yhdellä toiminnolla nyt harmaan laatan, jossa on jopa kahdeksan miekkaa. Tätä varten on olemassa viisi uutta harmaata laattaa, kuten pannu, hauberkki tai alasin.

Aivan uutta on myös idea satunnaisesta aloitusrakentamisesta. Kaikki saavat yhden kuudesta käsityöläisen paja -laudasta ja voivat rakentaa etu- tai takapuolen yhdellä puulla ja yhdellä toiminnolla. Nämä rakennukset tarjoavat tavaroita (palasia, aseita, hyödykkeitä), voittopisteitä ja hopeaa. Näin jokaisella on erilainen aloitusmahdollisuus. Tässä laajennuksessa valitset mieluisemman ammattikortista, joista aloitat. Toinen uusi vaihtoehto on, että ammattikortin asettamisen sijaan voit heittää sen pois voittopisteitä vastaan.

Laajennus ei sisällä viikinkihistoriaa esittelevää "almanakkaa", mutta sellaisen kirjoitti historiallisiin aiheisiin perehtynyt journalisti Gernot Köpke. Almanakan pääkohdat julkaistaan BGG: ssä osoitteessa https://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/2023534/almanac-almanach

Lisäosa sisältää myös ylimääräisiä laivalaattoja ja pieniä muuttolaattoja.

The Abyss power is once again vacant, so the time has come to get your hands on the throne and its privileges. Use all of your cunning to win or buy votes in the Council. Recruit the most influential Lords and abuse their powers to take control of the most strategic territories. Finally, impose yourself as the only one able to rule the Abyssal people!

Abyss is a game of development, combination and collection in which players try to take control of strategic locations in an underwater city. To achieve this, players must develop on three levels: first by collecting allies, then using them to recruit Lords of the Abyss, who will then grant access to different parts of the city. Players acquire cards through a draft of sorts, and the Lords of the Abyss acquired on those cards grant special powers to the cardholder — but once you use the cards to acquire a location, that power is shut off, so players need to time their land grabs well in order to put themselves in the best position for when the game ends.

The survivors of a long-ago invasion have taken refuge in the forgotten underground city of Gravehold. There, the desperate remnants of society have learned that the energy of the very breaches the beings use to attack them can be repurposed through various gems, transforming the malign energies within into beneficial spells and weapons to aid their last line of defense: the breach mages.

Aeon's End is a cooperative game that explores the deckbuilding genre with a number of innovative mechanisms, including a variable turn order system that simulates the chaos of an attack, and deck management rules that require careful planning with every discarded card. Players will struggle to defend Gravehold from The Nameless and their hordes using unique abilities, powerful spells, and, most importantly of all, their collective wits.

Salemin kaupungin noitiin liittyvä hysteria pyyhkäisi nykyisen Massachusettin alueen yli kulkutaudin lailla vuonna 1692. Kuten valitettavasti niin usein traagisten tapausten kanssa käy, on niitä, jotka käyttävät tilannetta hyväkseen. Noitavainojen verukkeella hankittiin valtaa, rahaa, kostoa ja oikeudenmukaisuutta.

AFFLICTION: Salem 1692 sijoittuu tähän aikaa. Käytä vaikutusvaltaasi kuiskataksesi tuomarin, kuvernöörin tai ministerin korvaan suojellaksesi toisia ja hankkiaksesi toisille pidätyksen.

Pelin hahmot ovat Salemin alueen oikeita historiallisia henkilöitä. AFFLICTION: Salem 1692 simuloi oikeita tapahtumia niin tarkkaan kuin pelin keinoin voi.

PELIN KULKU
Pelaajat asettavat vuorotellen “viestinviejän” (työläisen) valittuun toimintoruutuun. Kun kaikki työläiset on aseteltu, toiminnot ratkaistaan siinä järjestyksessä kuin ne ovat pelilaudalla.

SYYTTEESTÄ VAPAUTTAMINEN - Poista 2 syytösmerkkiä kaikilta kolonisteilta.
ENSIMMÄISEN PELAAJAN MERKKI / SUOJAUS - Käytä kuvernöörin kirjettä estääksesi yhden kolonistin pidättämisen ja toimiaksesi seuraavalla vuotolla ensimmäisenä.
HANKI VAIKUTUSVALTAA / KÄYTÄ KOLONISTIN KYKYÄ - Luo Vaikutusvaltaa ja käytä Piirissäsi olevien kolonistien kykyjä.
PIDÄTYS - Käytä Vaikutusvaltaa kolonistin mukautetun maineen verran saadaksesi tämän pidätyksi.
TODISTEET NOITUUDESTA - Käytä tätä pelimerkkiä estääksesi kolonistia hankkimasta vaikutustvaltaa ja käyttämästä kolonistikykyään.
SYYTÖS - Aseta syytösmerkkejä kolonistin maineen vähentämiseksi, jotta pidättäminen olisi helpompaa.
LISÄÄ / POISTA PELKOA - Hanki pelkomerkkejä tai poista niitä toiselta pelaajalta (käytetään heikentämään kolonisteja)
TUO KOLONISTI PIIRIIN - Käytä vaikutusvaltaa kolonistien perusmaineen verran ja tuo heidät Piiriisi.

Peli kiertää kohteiden syyttämisen, pidättämisen ja suojaamisen välillä. Pelko tarjoaa tarjoaa vaihtoehtoisen toimintatavan tarvittaessa.

VOITTAMINEN
Kaikki pelaajat saavat voittopisteitä jokaisen pidätetyn tai piiriin tuodun kolonistin mainearvosta, pidätettyjen omaisuudesta ja näiden vaikutusmerkkien lukumäärästäi. Jokainen pelaaja saa myös pisteitä tiettyjen perheiden pidättämisestä tai suojaamisesta riippuen heille annetusta pelaajalaatasta.

Välttämätön on tapahtunut: ihmiskuntaan on tarttunut zombievirus, joka on tappanut 90 % populaatiosta. Suurin osa henkiin jääneistä on muuttunut zombieiksi, ja homo sapiensin rippeet piileskelevät heikkoina ja puolustuskyvyttöminä. Tehtävänäsi on pelastaa mahdollisimman paljon porukkaa ja varustautua tappelemaan koko ajan lisääntyvää zombiearmeijaa vastaan.

After the Virus on Terraform Marsilla maailmanmaineeseen nousseiden Fryxeliuksen veljesten tekemä pakanrakennuspeli. Nämä sällit ovat melkein renessanssineroja, jotka tekevät kaiken itse. Tuon Danielin taiteilijankyvyt nyt ei kyllä kerää gallerioihin väkeä jonoksi asti, onhan tämä nyt rehellisesti sanoen ruma kuin mikä. Onneksi pelisuunnittelussa Jacob on tilanteen tasalla ja tässä on nyt tarjolla aika rautainen yhteistyöpeli, jossa pyritään suorittamaan tehtävä pakan täyttyessä zombieista.

Prätätätätä! Kuole, sinä inha epäkuollut!

Intia, Agran kaupunki
Vuosi 1527

Abu'l-Fath Jalal-ud-din Muhammad, kansan keskuudessa Akbar Suurena tunnettu hallitsija täyttää 30 vuotta. Akbar on Mughal-dynastian kolmas hallitsija ja laajentanut Mughalin alueita, siten että hän hallitsee miltei koko Intian niemimaata Godavari-joelta pohjoiseen. Akbarin vaikutusvalta tuntuu koko maassa Mughalin sotilaallisen, poliittisen, kulttuurisen ja taloudellisen mahdin ansiosta.

Yhdistääkseen ja hallitakseen laajaa valtakuntaansa, Akbar on perustanut keskitetyn hallinnon. Valloitettujen alueiden hallitsijoita on lepytelty avioliittojen ja diplomatian avulla. Akbar on ylläpitänyt rauhaa ja järjestystä asettamalla lakeja, joilla on saanut myös muiden kuin muslimialamaisten kannatuksen. Välttämällä heimosidoksia ja islamilaista valtioidentiteettiä, Akbar on pyrkinyt yhtenäistämään alueitaan. Mughalien persialaistunut kulttuuri onkin tuonut hänelle liki jumalaisen aseman.

Merkkihenkilöt ja lähettiläät eri puolilta maata ovat matkalla juhlimaan Akbarin syntymäpäivää. Kunnianhimoisena maanomistajana et voi jättää tilaisuutta väliin: juhlat ovat loistava tilaisuus nostaa asemaansa ja varallisuuttaan.


Omalla maa-alueellasi Agrassa viljelet puuvillaa ja kurkumaa. Saat puuta metsistäsi ja omistat pienen hiekkakivilouhoksen. Käymällä kauppaa ja jatkokäsittelemällä tuotteitasi, voit hankkia ylellisempiä kauppatavaroita, joilla mielistelet pääkaupunkiin matkustavia merkkihenkilöitä. Kilpailijoillasi on samansuuntaiset suunnitelmat, joten sinun on oltava heitä fksumpi, sillä Akbarin syntymäpäivä lähestyy päivä päivältä.

Pelin on suunnitellut mm. La Granjan tehnyt Michael Keller ja siinä on Michael Menzelin upea kuvitus.

Altiplano on ns. “pussinrakentamispeli” Orléansin tyyliin. Sen tapahtumat sijoittuvat Etelä-Amerikan Andien ylängöille - Altiplanolle. Altiplano ei ole yksinkertainen peli, vaan se antaa pelaajille yhä uudelleen tuoreita haasteita. Tavoitteeseen pääsemiseksi on monia tapoja, joten peli houkuttelee kokeilemaan aina uusia vaihtoehtoja ja strategioita. Menestys tai epäonnistuminen riippuu myös siitä, antaako vastustajasi sinun tehdä niin kuin haluat vai rikkooko hän strategiasi. Kilpailu yksittäisistä tuotteista on huomattavaa, mutta myös hauskaa, kun sieppaat himoitun laajennuskortin toisen pelaajan nenän alta!

Kukin pelaaja aloittaa ainutlaatuisella roolilaatalla, joka antaa heille pääsyn erilaisiin tuotteisiin ja tuotantomenetelmiin. Tuotteiden  saatavuus on alussa rajoitettua, mutta pelaajat voivat hankkia koko pelin ajan uusia tuotantovaihtoehtoja tarjoavia laitoksia. Lukuisilla tavaroilla - kuten kaloilla, alpakoilla, kaakaolla, hopealla tai maissilla - on kaikilla omat ominaisuutensa sekä paikat, joissa niitä voidaan käyttää. Pelaaja voi myydä hopeaa kalliilla hinnoilla markkinoilla, kun taas kaloilla varustettu pelaaja voi vaihtaa ne muihin tavaroihin satamassa. Alpakkoja hankkinut pelaaja voi tuottaa villaa, joka voidaan sitten tehdä muuttaa maatilalla kankaaksi.

Tehokkaan tuotannon rakentamisen lisäksi pelaajien on toimitettava oikeat tavarat oikeaan aikaan, kehitettävä tietä  ja varastoitava tavaransa taitavasti täyttääkseen varastonsa tehokkaimmin. Usein hyvä varastomies on lopulta tärkeämpi kuin paraskaan tuottaja.

A traveler wanders through the South American highlands and brings the inhabitants new ideas from his travels. Anyone who meets him can take advantage of these assets. A public trading point makes it possible to obtain rare goods in exchange for opals. And a variety of fortunes adds even more diversity to life among the mountain ranges in Bolivia and Peru.

With Altiplano: The Traveler, the planning of moves in Altiplano becomes more important and accessibility to resources becomes more interactive. Above all, the assets that may be purchased from the traveller open up completely new ways to increase one's own wealth. But unforeseen fortunes sometimes demand spontaneous decisions which influence planning.

Thus, the drive for success in this inhospitable region turns into a completely new challenge! Who's prepared for this?

In Amerigo, the players help Amerigo Vespucci on his journey to discover new land. The players explore the islands of South America, secure trading routes, and build settlements.

The actions available to players are determined through the use of a specialized cube tower, which has appeared in the Queen titles Im Zeichen des Kreuzes and Wallenstein. At the start of the game, this tower is seeded with action cubes, which come in seven colors, with each color matching a particular type of action. During the game players will drop additional action cubes into the tower – but some of these cubes might get stuck in the floors of the tower while other cubes already in the tower are knocked free. Thus, players need to play both tactically – taking advantage of the actions currently available in the best way possible – and strategically – using their knowledge of which actions do what to play well over the course of the game.

The game board is composed of nine, twelve or sixteen tiles, depending on the number of players. Players sail their ships through the landscape created for this game, landing on islands to plan and build settlements, which then supply resources and allow the player to earn victory points. Players might want to invest in cannons to protect themselves from pirates roaming the waters or acquire progress tokens to gain special advantages.

Includes the Doomsday, the Pioneers of New Earth and the Guardians of the Council modules, along with the 6 Guardian Exosuit miniatures.

It is the late 26th century. Earth is recovering from a catastrophic explosion that exterminated the majority of the population centuries ago and made most of the surface uninhabitable due to unearthly weather conditions. The surviving humans organized along four radically different ideologies, called Paths, to rebuild the world as they see fit: Harmony, Dominance, Progress, and Salvation. Followers of the four Paths live in a fragile peace, but in almost complete isolation next to each other. Their only meeting point is the last major city on Earth, now just known as the Capital.

By powering up the mysterious Time Rifts that opened in the wake of the cataclysm, each Path is able to reach back to specific moments in their past. Doing so can greatly speed up their progress, but too much meddling may endanger the time-space continuum. But progress is more important than ever before: if the mysterious message arriving through the Time Rift is to be believed, an even more terrible cataclysm is looming on the horizon: an asteroid bearing the mysterious substance called Neutronium is heading towards Earth. Even stranger, the scientists show that the energy signature of the asteroid matches the explosion centuries ago...

Anachrony features a unique two-tiered worker placement system. To travel to the Capital or venture out to the devastated areas for resources, players need not only various Specialists (Engineers, Scientists, Administrators, and Geniuses) but also Exosuits to protect and enhance them — and both are in short supply.

The game is played in 4-7 turns, depending on the time when the looming cataclysm occurs (unless, of course, it is averted!). The elapsed turns are measured on a dynamic Timeline. By powering up the Time Rifts, players can reach back to earlier turns to supply their past "self" with resources. Each Path has a vastly different objective that rewards it with a massive amount of Victory Points when achieved. The Paths' settlements will survive the impact, but the Capital will not. Whichever Path manages to collect most points will be the new seat for the Capital, thus the most important force left on the planet...

The Exosuit Miniatures Set adds 24 super-sized (55 mm tall) Exosuit miniatures to Anachrony, replacing the cardboard Exosuit hex tiles.

This product does not include any gameplay related content, only the miniatures.

In Animal Kingdoms, each player takes on the role of a house leader, battling to gain control of the five kingdoms. Cards in your hand represent noble beasts that have pledged their allegiance to you. Over the course of three ages, you must deploy your beasts to the various territories – making sure that you adhere to each kingdom’s decree – to try and improve your influential position in the kingdoms. The house that gains the most influence by the end of the third age is declared the one true leader of the realm.

Architects of the West Kingdom sijoittuu Karolingien valtakunnan loppuvaiheisiin, vuoden 850 tienoille. Pelaajat ovat kuninkaan arkkitehtejä, jotka pyrkivät tekemään kuninkaaseen vaikutuksen rakennuttamalla erilaisia maamerkkejä. Urakkaan tarvitaan raaka-aineita, oppipoikia ja hyvin valvottua työvoimaa. Ajat ovat petolliset, eivätkä kilpailevat arkkitehdit anna minkään pysäyttää itseään heidän yrittäessään hidastaa sinua. Pystytkö säilyttämään kunniallisuutesi, voi liitytkö varkaiden ja mustan pörssin kauppiaiden riveihin?

Tavoitteenasi Architects of the West Kingdomissa on voittaa hankkimalla eniten voittopisteitä. Voittopisteitä saa valmistuneista rakennuksista ja osallistumisesta arkkipiispan katedraalin rakentamiseen. Pelin aikana pelaajien on tehtävä useita moraalisia valintoja. Vasta pelin lopussa katsotaan ja tuomitaan hyveellisyydestä tai sen puutteesta. Muutama hämärä diili ei ehkä tunnu missään, mutta jos ajaudut liian syvälle laittomuuksiin, siitä seuraa rangaistus.

Peli on henkistä jatkoa Shem Phillipsin mainiolle North Sea -sarjalle. Architects of the West Kingdom on uuden pelisarjan ensimmäinen osa. Pelin uudenlainen työläistenasettelumekaniikka on saanut paljon kiitosta ja vaikuttaa todella mielenkiintoiselta.

You swore that you would never go back. Yet like a snake eating its own tail, you were always meant to return to where it all began. In the Arkham Horror: The Card Game Core Set, Night of the Zealot presented your first challenge while introducing you to the investigators, mechanics, and environment of Arkham Horror Files, providing a stable foundation from which you built you investigations into the unknown and the unknowable. Now, you are invited to return home and begin a new challenge worthy of your expertise.

Return to the Night of the Zealot is an expansion for Arkham Horror: The Card Game that enhances and modifies the Night of the Zealot campaign with 46 new Encounter cards and 20 new Player Cards. Additionally, this expansion includes a premium box and 18 divider cards to hold your entire Night of the Zealot campaign.

Axis & Allies Europe 1940, a deluxe edition of Axis & Allies: Europe, includes neutral countries which can be invaded. There are true neutrals as well as pro-axis and pro-allied neutrals.

In the dystopic 1930s, the industrial revolution pushed to the limit the exploitation of fossil-based resources, and now only powerful and unlimited hydroelectric energy is available to fulfill the thirst for power of the massive machines and unstoppable engineering progress.

Barrage is a resource management and strategic placement game in which players compete to build their majestic dams, raise them to increase their storing capacity of precious water, and deliver all the potential power through pressure tunnels connected to powerhouse energy turbines. Each player represents one of the international companies who are gathering machineries, innovative patents, and brilliant engineers to claim the best locations to capture and exploit the water power of a contested Alpine region crossed by rivers.

Barrage includes two innovative and challenging mechanisms. First, the construction wheel has to be managed by players to carefully plan their actions and handle their machineries since both your action tokens and resources are stored on the wheel and come back only after a full wheel round is completed. The more you construct and perform maintenance on your wheel, the earlier that resources and actions return to you.

Second, the water flow on the rivers depicted on the board is a shared and contested resource. Players have to intercept and store as much of the water as they can, build dams (upstream dams are expensive but can block part of the water before it reaches dams downstream), raise their dams to increase capacity, and build long tunnels to divert water to their powerhouses. Water is never consumed — its flow is just used to produce energy — and released in the rivers, so you have to strategically place your dams to recover water diverted by you and other players.

Over five rounds, players must fulfill power requirements represented by a common competitive power track and meet specific requests of personal contracts. At the same time, by placing a limited number of engineers, they attempt to increase their machineries to acquire new and more efficient construction actions and to build and activate special unique effect buildings to customize their own developing strategy.

Barrage: The Leeghwater Project Expansion
The Leeghwater Project Expansion adds:

A new faction, the Netherlands, that uses Jan Leeghwater’s expertise in water management, adding even more water to your dams.

The External Works mechanic, a set of powerful tiles that can be obtained from a new action space. With them you'll be able to perform many actions, but be careful. To unlock the External Works power you'll need to burn the required amount of Concrete Mixers and Excavators rather than just assign them to the Construction Wheel.

The Personal Building mechanics. You’ll be able to use a combination of five Building tiles, each one with a different, powerful effect that can be activated by your engineers.

Two new Executive Officers designed to enhance the External Works and the Personal Buildings.

Three new Advanced Technology tiles dedicated to the construction of Personal Buildings.

Hullu kuningas vaatii linnaa! Sinä olet maailmankuulu rakennusmestari, jonka Ludvig on palkannut suunnittelemaan itselleen linnoja. Näin suuret projektit vaativat kuitenkin useamman asiantuntijan työpanoksen, joten kukin rakennusmestari saa yhden aisaparin. Ovatko sinun suunnittelu- ja yhteistyötaitosi riittävät, jotta tuloksena syntyy maailman upeimpia linnoja?

Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig on kilpailullinen laatanvärväyspeli, jossa jokainen laatta on linnan huone. Työskelet yhdessä sekä vasemmalla että oikealla puolellasi istuvan pelaajan kanssa. Kummankin kanssa on käynnissä erillinen linnaprojekti. Joka vuoro valitset kädestäsi kaksi huonelaattaa, paljastat ne, ja sitten yhdessä naapureidesi kanssa neuvotellen asetat yhden kumpaankin linnaprojektiisi. Voittaaksesi joudut jakamaan huomiosi molempien linnojen kesken.

Pelissä on 147 huonelaattaa, kussakin uniikki kuvitus, sekä 83 muuta laattaa. Komponenteissa on myös 20 bonuskorttia, 7 puista linnanappulaa, pistevihko ja 4-osainen Game Trayz - lajittelulaatikko, joka mahdollistaa sen, että peli on pelattavassa kunnossa pöydällä alle minuutissa.

Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig on julkaistu Stonemaier Gamesin ja Bezier Gamesin yhteistyönä.

Humanity, through its irresponsible behavior, has exhausted the natural resources of Earth, making it almost uninhabitable. In a burst of lucidity, pressed by the irreversible degradation of your planet, the great nations are forced to put aside their differences and share their knowledge in order to create the most vast spacecraft ever constructed. Thus, the BLACK ANGEL project is launched.

The Black Angel, the first intergalactic frigate in history, must transport the genetic heritage of humanity beyond known worlds, over a journey that is likely to last several thousand years. Her crew will be composed of only robots. Because no nation is willing to trust creation of the AI (artificial intelligence) that will control this crew to any other nation, a compromise is found: The Black Angel will be co-managed by several AIs, and the utility of each decision will be evaluated in VP (Validation Process).

At the completion of this long and perilous voyage, when a new inhabitable planet has been reached, the AI that has earned the most VP will be entrusted with reawakening Humanity, and overseeing its new start….

All the reports are in agreement: The Black Angel is approaching Spes, a planet with the highest probability for habitability by the human species. Take advantage of our approach to maintain the good relations you have gradually woven with the benevolent Alien species populating the galaxy, and watch out for the dreaded Ravagers, who would do anything to prevent you from reaching Spes.

In Blood Rage, each player controls their own Viking clan’s warriors, leader, and ship. Ragnarök has come, and it’s the end of the world! It’s the Vikings’ last chance to go down in a blaze of glory and secure their place in Valhalla at Odin’s side! For a Viking there are many pathways to glory. You can invade and pillage the land for its rewards, crush your opponents in epic battles, fulfill quests, increase your clan's stats, or even die gloriously either in battle or from Ragnarök, the ultimate inescapable doom.

Most player strategies are guided by the cards drafted at the beginning of each of the three game rounds (or Ages). These “Gods’ Gifts” grant you numerous boons for your clan including: increased Viking strength and devious battle strategies, upgrades to your clan, or even the aid of legendary creatures from Norse mythology. They may also include various quests, from dominating specific provinces, to having lots of your Vikings sent to Valhalla. Most of these cards are aligned with one of the Norse gods, hinting at the kind of strategy they support. For example, Thor gives more glory for victory in battle, Heimdall grants you foresight and surprises, Tyr strengthens you in battle, while the trickster Loki actually rewards you for losing battles, or punishes the winner.

Players must choose their strategies carefully during the draft phase, but also be ready to adapt and react to their opponents’ strategies as the action phase unfolds. Battles are decided not only by the strength of the figures involved, but also by cards played in secret. By observing your opponent’s actions and allegiances to specific gods, you may predict what card they are likely to play, and plan accordingly. Winning battles is not always the best course of action, as the right card can get you even more rewards by being crushed. The only losing strategy in Blood Rage is to shy away from battle and a glorious death!

Brass: Birmingham on strateginen talouspeli, joka on jatkoa Martin Wallacen vuoden 2007 mestariteokselle, Brassille. Birmingham kertoo kyseisessä kaupungissa kilpailevista liikemiehistä ja -naisista teollisen vallankumouksen aikana, vuosina 1770 - 1870.

Kuten edeltäjässään, myös Birminghamissa pelaajat kehittävät teknologiaa, rakentavat teollisuutta ja verkostoituvat yrittäessään hyödyntää markkinoiden vaihteluita.

Peli pelataan kahdessa jaksossa. Ensin on kanaalien aika (1770-1830), jota seuraa rautateiden aika. Pelin voittaa keräämällä muita enemmän voittopisteitä ja pistelaskut tehdät kummankin jakson lopussa kanaalien ja rautateiden osalta, sekä ns. vakiintuneiden teollisuuslaattojen pohjalta. Teollisuudenaloina molemmissa Brasseissa ovat rauta, hiili ja puuvilla.

Birminghamin erikoisuus on olutteollisuus. Oluella voi myös “rasvata teollisuuden rattaita”: myydäkseen tuotteita eteenpäin, pitää kuluttaa olutvarantojaan. Uusia teollisuudenaloja ovat myös tehdastuotteet ja keramiikka.

Brass: Birminghamin lisäksi alkuperäinen Brass on myös nyt uudelleenjulkaistu nimellä Brass: Lancashire. Molemmat pelit näyttävät suorastaan upeilta verrattuna vuoden 2007 klassikkopainokseen. Molemmat ovat myös saaneet huikean hyviä arvosteluja. Peliin kannattaa tutustua jos vähän raskaammat talouspelit yhtään kiinnostavat.

Brass: Lancashire on komea uusversio Martin Wallacen palkitusta pelistä Brass (2007). Strateginen talouspeli kertoo kilpailevista 1800-luvun lopun teollisuusyrittäjistä Englannin Lancashiressä. Teollinen vallankumous on käynnissä ja pelaajien tavoitteena on kehittää, rakentaa ja verkottaa teollisuuttaan, siten että he voivat vastata kasvaneeseen raudan, hiilen ja puuvillaan kysyntään.

Peli jakaantuu kahteen osaan: ensimmäisessä rakennetaan tavaroiden kuljetusta varten kanaaleja ja toisessa rautateitä. Brass vaativa, mutta palkitseva peli.
Brass: Lancashire on Roxley Gamesin 2018 julkaisema versio, joka tekee aiemmin aika ankean näköisestä pelistä todella upean. Silmäkarkin lisäksi peliin on tullut joitakin sääntöpäivityksiä.

The players slip into the role of rich patricians in ancient Rome. Everyone is trying to build a lucrative city district to score as many prestige points as possible. The novel way to get to the individual buildings of a district combined with a large variety of score cards make for an unusual game with a large number of strategies. From the successful designer, Stefan Feld.

Castell käsittelee katalonialaista ihmistornien rakentamista. Suuret joukot väkeä kaikkialta Kataloniasta kokoontuu eri festivaaleille juhlistamaan katalonialaista kulttuuri ja kilpailemaan siitä, kuka tekee korkeimmat ja vaikeimmat ihmistornit.

Castell on suhteellisen raskas strategiapeli, jossa pelaajat manageroivat omaa Castell-joukkuettaan halki koko festivaalivuoden. Pelin aikana vieraillaan katalonian kaupungeissa, laajennetaan joukkueen kokoa, opetellaan uusia torninrakennustaitoja ja esiinnytään niin paikallisissa pikkutapahtumissa kuin kilpaillaan festivaaleilla.

Pelissä pärjää vain hyvällä ennakkosuunnittelulla ja taitavalla ajoituksella.

In the tile-laying game Castles of Mad King Ludwig, players are tasked with building an amazing, extravagant castle for King Ludwig II of Bavaria...one room at a time. You see, the King loves castles, having built Neuschwanstein (the castle that inspired the Disney theme park castles) and others, but now he's commissioned you to build the biggest, best castle ever — subject, of course, to his ever-changing whims. Each player acts as a building contractor who is adding rooms to the castle he's building while also selling his services to other players.

In the game, each player starts with a simple foyer. One player takes on the role of the Master Builder, and that player sets prices for a set of rooms that can be purchased by the other players, with him getting to pick from the leftovers after the other players have paid him for their rooms. When a room is added to a castle, the player who built it gains castle points based on the size and type of room constructed, as well as bonus points based on the location of the room. When a room is completed, with all entranceways leading to other rooms in the castle, the player receives one of seven special rewards.

After each purchasing round, a new player becomes the Master Builder who sets prices for a new set of rooms. After several rounds, the game ends, then additional points are awarded for achieving bonus goals, having the most popular rooms, and being the most responsive to the King's demands, which change each game. Whoever ends up with the most castle points wins.

Caverna: The Forgotten Folk — Caverna: Vergessene Völker in German — originated as a fan project on BoardGameGeek, and Caverna publisher Lookout Games has decided to work with the designer to develop this material and release it as an official expansion.

Forgotten Folk consists of eight different species or race packs such as elves, dark elves, and trolls, and now each player in Caverna can be one of these species instead of only the dwarves in the base game. Each species has special advantages and disadvantages, and some species introduce new resources into the game. Each species has four unique rooms, and they replace rooms in the base game, which allows other players to gain the powers of these species.

A classic game is back! As one of the first worker placement games, Caylus stands among the true board game classics of the 2000s. The original designers' team, together with the Space Cowboys, have now created a revamped version!

The mechanisms of Caylus 1303 have been streamlined and modernized for an intense and shorter game. Don't be fooled, though, as the game has kept both its depth and ease of play while a lot of new features have been added:

    Variability of the starting position for a virtual infinity of possibilities. No more pre-set strategies!
    Characters with special abilities, with a wavering loyalty, offer their services to the players.
    And of course, brand new graphics!

The King calls you again, so it's time to go back to Caylus!

Century: A New World is the third and final installment of the Century series from designer Emerson Matsuuchi.

Century: A New World sends players to the Americas at the dawn of the 16th century. Braving the wilderness, players are forced to explore new lands, trade with local inhabitants, journal their findings, and hunt/gather to survive! The game integrates the compelling and incredibly fun resource trading mechanisms found in the Century series with a worker placement mechanism with a twist!

Century: A New World may be combined with Century: Spice Road or Century: Eastern Wonders or both for all new mixable games.

“Vuosisatoja sitten arvokas maustekauppa sai maailman rikkaat valtiot etsimään vaihtoehtoisia reittejä arvokkaille Maustesaarille, joista maailman arvokkaimmat mausteet löytyivät.”
Century-pelisarja tekee pesäeroa historiaan ja jättää vuosisadat ja maa-alueet nimeämättä, historiallisesti liikutaan kuitenkin 1400-luvulla Intiaan suuntautuneessa kaupassa. Century: Eastern Wonders on iloisen värinen ja hyvin sujuva peli, jossa sääntöjä ei ole kaksi sivua. Peli on jatkoa Emerson Matsuuchin aiemmalla, Vuoden strategiapeli -palkinnon 2018 pokanneelle Century: Spice Roadille. Mielestämme tämä jatko-osa on vielä edeltäjäänsäkin parempi. Pelissä purjehditaan omalla laivalla saaristossa vaihtamassa mausteita toisiin tavoitteena koota tilaajien pyytämiä maustelasteja. Sarjan kaksi peliä voi myös yhdistää, jolloin tuloksena vähän strategisempi Century: Sand to Sea.

Todellisuuspaon arvion pelistä voi lukea täältä: https://todellisuuspako.blogspot.com/2018/08/century-eastern-wonders-ja-from-sand-to.html

Cerebria on dynaaminen, joukkueittain pelattava aluehallintapeli. Pelaajat ovat Henkiä, voimakkaita olentoja, jotka edustavat joko Autuutta tai Synkeyttä. Nämä vastakkaiset voimat – ihmisluonnon kaksi puolta – kamppailevat kontrollista ja muokkaavat Sisämaailmaa, kehittyvän persoonallisuuden metaforaa.

Cerebrian teema ei ole tavallisimmasta päästä, jos olet nähnyt Disney-Pixarin elokuvan “Inside Out – mielen sopukoissa”, tiedät mistä on kyse. Pelissä on myös paljon kekseliäitä mekanismeja, kuten esimerkiksi tunteisiin vaikuttaminen. Joukkueet saavat pisteitä saavuttaessaan helpompia Aikeita tai vaikeampia Tavoitteita. Pelin voittaa se joukkue, jonka vaikutusvallan alueella on suurempi osa henkilön valmista identiteettiä.

Peli toimii erinomaisesti myös kaksinpelinä.

Champions of Midgard is a middleweight, Viking-themed, worker placement game with dice rolling in which players are leaders of Viking clans who have traveled to an embattled Viking harbor town to help defend it against the threat of trolls, draugr, and other mythological Norse beasts. By defeating these epic creatures, players gain glory and the favor of the gods. When the game ends, the player who has earned the most glory earns the title of Jarl and is recognized as a champion of Midgard!

Placing workers allows for the collection of resources and warriors, which players may then send on journeys to neighboring villages or across the sea to defeat monsters and gain the glory they need for victory. Resources are used to carve runes, build ships, and feed your followers. Viking warriors (custom dice) do battle with the myriad enemies the town faces.

The Dark Mountains, the first expansion for Champions of Midgard, extends your adventures to distant lands, allowing you to trek into the dark mountains where the Bergrisar live and wage constant battle with the Archer Clans of the North. Fight fearsome mountain giants and liberate archers who join your cause. Once freed, you will find the archers to be worthy allies, rarely missing and being exceptional hunters. Enemies you face will fall easily before their sure shots.

Champions of Midgard: The Dark Mountains adds a ton of new content to the base game, including the ability to play with up to five players.

The expansion includes new land journeys, a new enemy type (Bergrisar), more powerful Trolls and Draugr, as well as additional rune cards, market tiles, and more.

In Valhalla, the second expansion for Champions of Midgard, you will find yourself rewarded when your warriors die in battle. Your warriors' eternal glory becomes your earthly reward as the Valkyries bestow powerful effects, relics, and warriors upon you for use in your battles in Midgard. Some of your fallen soldiers may do more, rising to face the greatest enemies even in the afterlife, defeating epic monsters and bringing you glory from beyond the grave!

Couple these new rewards with fierce new warriors in the form of Berzerkers and Shieldwarriors, and new custom dice and powers for your leaders, and your adventures in Midgard will never be the same!

After the great Chicago Fire of 1871, the brave men and women of Chicago sought to rebuild their once-great city, and rebuild it they did. Over the next 60 years Chicago experienced an economic golden age, making such great progress that it hosted The World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, followed not long after by a celebration of its Century of Progress at The World's Fair in 1933.

Many of the household brands we've come to know and love today had their start in Chicago during this time period; Oscar Mayer, Kraft, Quaker Oats, Nabisco, Swift & Co, Armour & Co, Schwinn Bicycles, Charles Schwab, and many others made a home here in this tall, bold slugger.

In City of the Big Shoulders players take on the roles of entrepreneurs and investors seeking to rebuild Chicago into a city fit for the world stage. In this unique merger of 18xx-style stock manipulation mechanics with euro-style gameplay, players start companies, trade in shares, hire employees, equip their factories, produce goods and sell them to be delivered to homes across the midwest.

Although City of the Big Shoulders features a large amount of strategic depth and rewarding gameplay, it does so in a shorter timeline than is typical of most heavy economic games. Players play just five rounds (also known as decades) in about two and a half hours. Each decade consists of five unique phases: A stock phase where players can buy and sell stock; a building phase where players rebuild the city of Chicago, placing action spaces on the board; an action phase where companies send their partners to make deals across Chicago; an Operating Phase where companies buy resources, produce goods, and ship them out of Chicago; and finally a cleanup phase where the board is set up for the following decade. At the end of the fifth decade, the game ends. Players then exchange shares that they have purchased over the course of the game for cash, are rewarded for any of the public goals they have accomplished over the five decades of play, and tally their money to determine who is Chicago's greatest resident.

We were light years from our home, galaxies away, when we first discovered this ancient celestial body — a planet filled with intriguing, intelligent lifeforms, not too unlike our own. Some built kingdoms below the surface of the green seas, while others controlled the desert-filled plains and cliffs. Among them we found scientists, inventors, farmers, traders and fighters. While our presence has been unsettling for some, we have had very few incidents with the locals. Still, we Circadians, Earth's famed explorers, must do what we can to ensure peace. We must respect this world and its hosts. The heads of Moontide passed down orders from above. We are to open negotiations with the three clans, in hopes of gaining their favor, along with our own security while on the planet. We must also collect organic samples for the depository on Moontide. This is new ground for all of us, but we must be brave and resourceful. The future of the Circadians depends on it.

The aim of Circadians: First Light is to lead a team of researchers on the planet of Ryh. Players need to manage their crew (dice) to visit various parts of the planet for trade, farming, construction and research. Players score points for negotiating with the locals, harvesting resources for the depository, upgrading their research base, exploring the planet, and collecting gems. The game is played over eight rounds. At the end of the final round, the player with the most points wins.

Pakanrakennusseikkailu Clank! In! Space! saa nerokkaasti(?) nimetyn jatko-osan Clank! In! Space! Apocalypse!

Pienet vastarintaryhmät jatkavat pahan Lordi Eradikuksen vastustamista, mutta nyt tämä cyborgipahis aikoo pyyhkiä vastustajansa lopullisesti maailmankaikkeuden kartalta. Suunnitelma on suureellinen ja julma.

Sinun tehtäväsi on tietenkin pissiä Lordi Eradikuksen aamiaismuroihin. Samalla saatat vahingossa päätyä sankariksi, mutta ainakin henkiin jäädessäsi rikkaaksi.


Lisäosa vaatii Clank! In! Space! -pelin.

Pelilaatikko sisältää:


2 Kaksipuolista pelilautaa
35 Adventure -korttia
8 Large Scheme -korttia
1 Haldos Boss -merkin

Clank! on suosittu pakanrakennuspeli, jossa pelaajat ovat vihaisen lohikäärmeen luolaan hiipiviä varkaita. Mitä syvemmälle luolaan menee, sitä arvokkaimpia aarteita käsiinsä saa. Hankkimalla pakkaansa yhä parempia kortteja, aarteiden rosmous onnistuu entistä paremmin.

Paras on kuitenkin katsoa mihin astuu, sillä yksikin väärä liike voi aiheuttaa kolinaa, joka kiinnittää lohikäärmen huomion. Myös jokainen varastettu artifakti lisää lohikäärmeen epäluuloisuutta. Aarteista (ja pelin voitosta) pääsee nauttimaan vain jos osaa ajoittaa oman poistumisensa niin, että A) yleensä säilyy hengissä ja B) omaa eniten aarteita niistä pelaajista, joita lohikäärme ei syönyt.

Jos ryöstösaaliin janosi on sammumaton, Clank! Expeditions: Gold and Silk voi sopia sulle. Lisäosa tuo Clank! -peruspeliin uusia pelilautoja.

Ensimmäinen tutkimusmatka suuntautuu hylättyyn Ruin Dwarven Mining Companyn (Ruin DMC) kaivokseen. Kaivos jouduttiin hylkäämään monsteri-infestaation vuoksi, mutta siellä olisi vielä paljon kultaa jäljellä niille, joilla on tarpeeksi sisua astua peremmälle.

Vielä enemmän rikkauksia lepäilee Hämähäkkikuningattaren linnassa. Toki kuningatar on jo kuollut tai pelkkää legendaa, jonka tarkoitus on pitää ihmiset loitolla hienosta linnasta...

Lisäosa vaatii Clank! A Deck-Building Adventure -pelin ja on englanninkielinen.

Jos luulit että avaruudessa kukaan ei kuule kolinaasi, olit väärässä...

Paha Lordi Eradikus on vallannut miltei galaksin. Nyt tuo ilkimys vetää kunniakierrosta lippulaiva Eradikus Primellään. Pollea pahis saattaa ehkä hallita kyborgikouransa rautaisella otteella maailmoja, mutta sinä muutama muu varas olette haastaneet toisenne hipsimään Lordi E:n alukselle, hakkeroimaan ukon komentomoduulin ja viemään mitä pystytte.

Matkan varrella mukaan voi tulla liittolaisia ja ylimääräistä saalista. Yksikin virheliike voi kuitenkin johtaa kolinaan, mikä herättää Lordi Eradikuksen huomioon. Kaikenlaiset hakkeroinnit vasta pahan lordin vihan nostattavatkin. Toivo, että kilpasiskosi ja -veljesi pitävät enemmän ääntä kuin sinä, sillä sinä haluat päästä saaliisi kanssa pakokapseliin elävänä.

Clank! In! Space! käyttää sama pelijärjestelmää kuin suosittu Clank! A Deck-Building Adventure. Kukin pelaaja rakentaa pelin aikana oman henkilökohtaisen pakkansa, jonka kortit mahdollistavat liikkumisen avaruusaluksessa, taistelemisten, lisähankinnat sekä tietenkin mahdollisesti päästävät kolisevaa ääntä, joka houkuttelee Lord Eradikuksen paikalle...

Skotlanti siirtyi 1800-luvulla maataloudesta teollisuuteen. Maa nojautui vahvasti kauppaan ja vientiin. Ruoantuotantoa lisättiin merkittävästi asukasluvun lisääntyessä. Puuvilla korvasi kalliimman pellavan ja lampaankasvatus nosti merkitystään. Viskitislaamoita perustettiin runsaasti ja viskistä tulikin Euroopan tärkein väkijuoma.

Pelaajat kuuluvat Skotlannin yhdeksään historialliseen klaaniin, jotka käyttävät uniikkeja kykyjään kilpaillakseen maataloustuotteiden ja viskin tuotannossa ja myynnissä.

Clans of Caledonia on keskiraskas talouspeli, jonka on suunnitellut Juma Al-JouJou ja kuvittanut monesta klassisesta europelistä tuttu Klemens Franz. Teema ja pelimekaniikat sopivat pelissä hienosti yhteen.

From Christian Marcussen, the creator of Merchants and Marauders, comes Clash of Cultures, a civilization game in which each player leads a civilization from a single settlement to a mighty empire. Players must explore their surroundings, build large cities, research advances and conquer those who stand in the way. The game features a modular board for players to explore, 48 distinct advances, seven mighty wonders, and loads of miniatures and cards. The winner will create a culture that will be remembered and admired for millennia.

Advances
The game features about 48 distinct advances. The whole "tech-tree" is very flexible with no dead ends, yet still intuitive, sensible and "realistic." Additionally you have a great overview of what advances other cultures have - no need to ask - just look.

Modular Board
Players start with a civilization in its infancy. Move settlers to uncharted regions and reveal the terrain and its resources. Several mechanisms have been implemented to assure that an unlucky placement of region-tiles won't be a decider.

Playing Time
The game covers a time span similar to AH Civilization - that is to pre-gunpowder. This epic game is playable in about an hour per player! This is a pretty good playing time for a game that covers so much ground as this game will.

City management
Players expand their cities through the game. But not just to the generic larger city. Players instead choose a building type which represents the growth of the city. For instance you can expand a city with a port, fort, temple and academy - all with different benefits! Additionally cities can be "angry," "neutral" and "happy." Everything integrated in an intuitive and elegant fashion.

Multiple paths to victory
Earn points through:
- Founding cities and increasing their sizes
- Advances

Portugalilla meni lujaa 1400- ja 1500-luvuilla löytöretkien aikana. Maan sydämessä sijaitseva Coimbran kaupunki on Portugalin kulttuurin keskus. Pelaajat ovat Coimbran mahtisukujen johtajia, jotka pyrkivät lisäämään vaikutusvaltaansa ja mainettaan syventämällä suhteita paikallisiin luostareihin tai rahoittamalla löytöretkiä. Tähän tavoitteeseen päästään mm. saavuttamalla kaupungin silmäätekevien suosio (esimerkiksi lahjonnan tain suojelun muodossa).

Coimbra esittelee kekseliään noppamekaniikan, jossa pelaajien joka vuorolla värväämiä noppia käytetään moninaisin eri tavoin. Vaikka voittoon on useampia reittejä, pelaajien pitäisi pyrkiä optimoimaan jokaisen noppansa käyttö. Koska kaupunkilaisten, löytöretkien ja luostareiden keskinäiset synergiat muuttuvat jatkuvasti, ei yksikään pelikerta ole koskaan samanlainen.

Pelin ovat suunnitelleet italialaiset Flaminia Brasini ja Virginio Gigli (mm. Lorenzo il Magnifico). Kerrassaan upea kuvitus on Chris Quilliamsin pensselinjälkeä.

Coloma is the town where an unexpected event happened that shaped history of the Western Frontier. In the Winter of 1848 a man building a sawmill on the South Fork of the American River spotted some bright nuggets in the tailrace waters below. Sure enough, it was gold! Though he tried to keep his discovery a secret, word spread quickly and it triggered the California Gold Rush of ‘49. In the game of Coloma, you are a pioneer who has recently traveled out West to strike it rich and make a name for yourself. You will prospect for gold and use your windfalls to recruit workers, rustle up horses, and establish businesses. You will also get opportunities to explore the surrounding riverways and frontier lands. But alas! You are not alone—every other pioneer seems to have gotten the same idea! Therefore, it will take extra cunning tactics on your part to not go Bust with the rest of them…Coloma is a fast moving game with many paths to victory. It offers unique twists on simultaneous action selection, resource management, and engine-building.

Tämä on Concordia Venuksen itsenäinen versio, joka sisältää kaikki pelaamiseen tarvittavat komponentit. Concordia Venuksesta on olemassa myös edullisempi, Concordia-peruspelin jatkoksi hankittava lisäosa.
Venuksessa voivat kahden pelaajan joukkueet kilpailla keskenään. Perus-Concordiaan verrattuna uutta ovat myös Venus-kortit, jotka mahdollistavat uudenlaisia strategioita. Mukana tulevat perus-Concordiasta tuttu Imperium-kartta, sekä Cyprus, Hellas ja Ionium. Vaihtelua siis riittää ja tämä onkin varsin kattava Concordia-paketti, jos peruspeliä ei ole ennestään hyllyssä.

Concordia: Aegyptus / Creta is an expansion for Concordia that contains two maps for new strategic challenges:

    In Aegyptus, the Nile and its yearly flood brings some extra food. You can also engage yourself in trade with frankincense or gold for sestertii and victory points at the end of the game.
    In Creta, you play on a tight map containing only twenty cities in nine provinces (one with only a single city).

Both maps can be played at all player counts, but become very competitive with four and especially with five players. The maps also have a new format which is a little longer, but clearly smaller than previously released maps.

The two-sided personality card display is separated from the map and contains a side with different additional costs.

Concordia: Britannia / Germania features a double-sided map for Concordia.

    The Britannia map offers tight play with only 23 cities in ten provinces. Players start in London and Boulogne, expanding Britannia from the south.

    The Germania map features 30 cities in twelve provinces again. The additional castles, different starting positions, and sea colonists moving along rivers bring new options into play.

Concordia: Gallia / Corsica is an expansion for Concordia that contains two maps for new strategic challenges:

    In Gallia, you start moving around with only one land colonist and have to settle inside one of the harbor cities before you can use your sea colonist as well.

    In Corsica, you will play on the tightest map ever published for Concordia, containing only twenty cities in eight provinces.

Both maps can be played at all player counts, but Corsica is especially meant for two or three players.

"Salsa" is the Latin word for "salted", and in the Concordia: Salsa expansion for Concordia, players will discover:

Two new maps: "Byzantium" and "Hispania"
Wooden pieces for a sixth commodity: salt
City tokens for additional salt cities
27 Forum Cards for new strategies to follow
The cards are all different, can be acquired during the game, and salt your game with new strategic challenges! Some cards have permanent effects, others return to stack after using. Both the sixth commodity and the new cards can be played with the base game and the Britannia expansion as well, thus giving even more variety.

Concordia Venus includes new personality cards with the goddess Venus allowing for new strategies, two maps (Hellas/Ionium) on which to play (using components from the Concordia base game in addition to new cards), and rules that enable teams of two players to play against one another.

Awakening the Bear is the first game in the multi-award winning Conflict of Heroes series. This series is a squad level combined arms training game used by history fans, universities, and military personnel throughout the world. This game takes you to the eastern front during Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of Russia. Many consider this time period to be the birth of modern warfare tactics that continue to be used and perfected by today's modern armies.

You command German or Soviet forces comprised of infantry squads, crewed support weapons, individual tanks, armored cars, artillery, and more. Much effort went into distinguishing the units in the game by highlighting their historical strengths and weaknesses. For example, each tank's defense rating takes into account relative armor thickness, armor slope deflection percentage, speed, size, targeting mechanics, and crew training. All these factors are represented in an easy to learn target number system. You do not have to worry about the details; they are all built into the system! As the commander, you concentrate on tactics to execute your mission and firefight objectives.

The 3rd Edition Rules change several key elements of Conflict of Heroes from previous editions. A Unit no longer receives 7 Action Points. Instead, each Turn, a player selects one of their Units to take an Action. After completing the Action, they roll a custom d10 die to determine if the Unit becomes Spent. If the player rolls higher than the Action’s Cost, the Unit is free to continue taking Actions on future Turns. More involved Actions have a higher Spent probability. On average, Units will be able to take the same number of Actions as in the previous 7AP edition rules, but now your units may not always perform as expected.

This and other new mechanics like Stress encourage players to experiment with integrated battlefield tactics that make use of multiple Units working together. They also heighten the experience of ‘Fog of War,’ in that players must now assess the risk attached to each Action they take, and determine the best time to use their CAPs to mitigate that risk.

All previous Conflict of Heroes editions are 100% compatible with these 3rd Edition rules. This game can also be played with previous edition rules.

Storms of Steel! makes you a witness to the greatest tank battle in history! After their stinging defeat at Stalingrad, the Germans mass their best forces for an all-out attack against the growing Soviet bulge at Kursk. The Soviets' network of master spies has caught wind of the German plans, and they are prepared to trap and decimate the best panzer forces the Germans can muster. Storms of Steel covers one of the largest tank battles in history. German Panzer and Anti-Tank hardware had caught up with the Soviets, allowing the Germans to destroy most Soviet tanks from great distances. But the Soviets countered this advantage with mass production of tanks, which were thrown at the Germans in an attempt to overwhelm them.

Storms of Steel! is the second stand-alone title in the best selling Conflict of Heroes series. Each game in the series uses the same core rules system, so it's easy to advance from one game to the next! Conflict of Heroes is a tactical war game of platoon-sized engagements, with each counter representing a squad of infantry, a crewed gun, or a vehicle. The engagements are presented as firefights with different objectives. During a firefight, players use their army's units to fight for these objectives, which are worth victory points (VPs). The player with the most VPs at the end of the game wins.

The rules for Storms of Steel are the same as for Awakening the Bear, but the two games play very differently. In Awakening the Bear, the Germans had to flank and get close to Soviet tanks if they stood any chance of penetrating the heavy T-34 tank armor. But by 1943, at the battle of Kursk, most Soviet tank armor could be penetrated by the Germans at great distances. So the tables are turned and players must employ very different tactics.

All New for the 3rd Edition:
•Featuring the latest 3rd Edition Conflict of Heroes Rules!
•Updated the maps and overlay artwork to be highly detailed and more beautiful than the original!
•All new counters in addition to new versions of the previous counters!
•New box format, with updated tray inserts designed by Game Trayz!

Please note: There was never a second edition released. This release is called Third Edition since it uses same rule-set as Awakening the Bear Third Edition.

Everyone is already dead in the Underworld. It's time to join the factions of Bone, Flesh and Spirit as they work to achieve the goal of the Underworld: to gather enough forces to take on the celestials of Heaven and Hell to end their ceaseless war. If the players work diplomatically in Court of the Dead: Mourners Call to maintain a balance, they can ensure the Underworld survives long enough for them to also complete their collective and hidden individual objectives. The player who best contributes to these goals will earn Death's favor and a place among the elite of the Underworld.

You are a Mourner — an allegiant of Death — dedicated to realizing his noble ambition to end the celestial war and restore balance to the universe. However, Death's purpose includes your own ulterior motives. You and your fellow Mourners must unite and rise, or fall together. But only one Mourner will achieve their particular vision of the Underworld united. Your task will not be easy. While the Underworld is united in its purpose, it is divided in its strategy to achieve that aim. There are three factions in the Land of the Dead: Bone, Flesh, Spirit. Each is a unique path to rise up against Heaven and Hell.

You will need to strategically manipulate your influence within these factions, their strongholds and guilds, and within the Court of the Dead if you wish to achieve your ends. But beware: The power within mortal souls — known as Etherea — is a perilous substance.

Failing to satiate the celestials’ war need, or triggering the Dreadsgrip, has dire consequences for all Mourners. Are you strong enough to achieve your own ambitions and be the champion for the uniting force for which all Mourners Call?

Axia — a land with a glorious past, a most uncertain present, and an even more unpredictable future. Populated by what has been described as a fervent and warm-blooded people, Axia is in crisis – economic, social, and political: the longest-running recession in its modern history, the highest inequality in years, and a political system teetering on the brink of collapse.

In more ways than one, Axia is fighting against itself. Old divisions of the past have given way to new ones, and this generation – along with the next ones – has the most to lose.

Will you, along with your fellow industrialists, do your part to help Axia? Will you sacrifice short-term gain in the present for a brighter future? Can you do that, and survive? Perhaps you can, and perhaps you can even thrive – and you will, if you see opportunity where others only see crisis!

Good times in the tiny kingdom of Emara: During the reign of King Thedorius the Wise, wars, uprisings, and other inconveniences became a thing of the past. Thedorius always cared more for the well-being of his subjects than for power or riches. Therefore, only the nobleman who is able to care for Emara's citizens as well as Thedorius himself did shall become Thedorius' successor and wear the Crown of Emara.

To test the skills of all aspirants, Thedorius and his counselors issue a challenge of practical use: Whoever can persuade the majority of the newly arrived citizens in the capital to support their claim shall become the future king of Emara. To achieve this, players have to cater to the citizens' needs and — most importantly — offer proper housing for everyone. This means that promoting the building activities in town will be one of the major tasks of the candidates.

Crown of Emara skillfully combines card actions with worker movement actions, allowing players to plan their turns carefully during their downtime. The two counselors available to every player move in two separate roundabouts, requiring players to optimize every move. Additionally, two scoring tracks lead to a multidimensional playstyle as only the lower score counts towards victory and thus both tracks have to be advanced equally.

You've studied the footage, connected the dots, and gathered what meager evidence you could. You're close — soon the whole world will know the truth behind the Cryptid. A group of like-minded cryptozoologists have come together to finally uncover the elusive creature, but the glory of discovery is too rich to share. Without giving away some of what you know you will never succeed in locating the beast, but reveal too much and your name will be long forgotten!

Italy, late Middle Ages: The fabric merchants need to write down their contracts in a language that everyone can understand, and the literates are looking for an alternative to the elite of the traditional Latin language, so the Volgare, the language spoken by the common people, taken from the dialects spoken in the various Italian regions, starts to gain relevance. During this period, Francesco D'Assisi writes his famous Canticle of the Sun and Dante writes the Divine Comedy, both written in Volgare.

In De Vulgari Eloquentia, players have to do their part in the creation of this new language! But who will provide them the proper knowledge to understand the manuscripts in the different dialects? Who will successfully uncover the secrets of the books inside the Papal Library? Who will embrace the religious life, and who will remain a merchant? Some of the players can become a famous banker, someone else can climb the church's hierarchy to be the next Pope! But in the end, who will be the most appreciated and respected for their status and culture?

The aim of the game is to obtain more Volgare points. The players gain VP from reading manuscripts and looking for important documents like the Canticle of the Sun or "The Riddle from Verona". Players can also gain VP by improving their social status, for example, if the merchant becomes a banker or the Friar becomes a Benedictine Monk or the Cardinal becomes Camerlengo or Pope. Moreover, VP can be gotten with money and with the support of Politicians, Noblemen, Abbesses, and the Amanuensis.

This is a totally new re-designed edition of De Vulgari Eloquentia which features new mechanisms and new elements. The game has totally new layout and iconography.

Dead of Winter on psykologinen, puoliyhteistyöllinen hengissäselvitymispeli zombieapokalypsen jälkeisessä maailmassa.

Kannattaa ehkä lukea tuo edellinen lause toistamiseen. Sillä tarkoitetaan käytännössä sitä, että pelaajat yrittävät yhteistyössä saavuttaa yhteisen voittoehdon. Jokaisella pelaajalla on kuitenkin myös oma salainen voittoehtonsa, joka pitää suorittaa päästäkseen osaksi yhteistyövoittoa. Nämä salaiset tavoitteet voivat herättää muissa epäilyksiä, sillä porukassa voi olla myös petturi joka haluaa kostaa henkiinjääneiden yhteisölle ja sabotoida kaiken. Pilalle mennyt ruoanhakukeikka voi aiheuttaa epäilyksiä, ja joku saatetaan äänestää karkoitettavaksi. Peli voi päättyä kaikkien voittoon, siihen että jotkut voittavat, tai että kaikki häviävät.

Dead of Winter on erittäin mielenkiintoinen kokemus, jollaisen vain oikeastaan lautapeli voi tarjota. Se on tarinakeskeinen peli synkän talven läpi selviytymisestä zombieiden valtaamassa maailmassa. Pääpaino on kuitenkin henkiinjääneiden ryhmän psykologisessa tilassa. Yhteisten ja omien etujen yhteensovittaminen jatkuvassa henkiinjäämistaistelussa tarjoaa huikean haasteen.Tässä peli, joka voi synnyttää tarinoita vielä vuosien päästä muisteltavaksi!

With a piece of land to call your own, a handful of resources, a few families and a head full of dreams you embark on a journey of a lifetime. Beyond lies the New World full of opportunities to make your dreams of a new home a reality. But beware, other settlers have come here as well, and although their beginnings are as humble as yours, each of them will want to influence these new lands as much as you. Will you become the most powerful?

Dice Settlers is a civilization dice game of pool building, resource gathering and area control. Each turn players reach into their bags of dice, roll and choose their own actions: from exploring new lands and building the board, through gathering resources and trading, to developing technologies which offer new abilities, each player chooses their own path to victory.

A changing board, a set of different technologies every time you play, and a vast array of available strategies await!

Dragon Castle is a game freely inspired by Mahjong Solitaire. During your turn, you take a pair of identical tiles from the central "castle" (known as the Dragon Castle) and place them on your own realm board to build your own castle. From time to time, you may sacrifice these tiles to acquire shrines in their place.

Every time you create a set of tiles of the same kind, you "consolidate" them, i.e. flip them face down to score points. When you consolidate a set, you may also build shrines on top of the consolidated tiles: Shrines allow you to score more points, but they also limit your building options. You may also take advantage of the available spirit card and its game-changing powers...but this will come at a cost! Finally, don't forget to check the dragon card in play, and to follow the building requirements to score bonus points.

When the Dragon Castle has been reduced to only one floor, the end of the game is triggered. After one final round, the player with the most points is the lord of the new Dragon Castle…and the winner of the game!

In March of 1917, Tsar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate the throne of Russia. In his place, a conservative Provisional Government formed, representing the official authority of the state. Opposed to the newly formed government stood the Petrograd Soviet, an elected council of workers organized by socialist activists.

Over the following months, an internal struggle for power and influence would dominate the country and spark a social revolution. In this state of dual power, or dvoevlastie, charismatic and powerful leaders would rise with the tide of public dissatisfaction and change the course of Russian politics forever.

In Dual Powers, 1-2 players direct the forces on one side of this struggle through political action, social maneuvering, and military conflict. The player with greater support at the end of the game will shape Russia’s future and either launch or suppress the impending Civil War.
