It's the 1960s in Japan, and you have a half-size camera that lets you take half-size vertical pictures. Let's see whether you can put together good shots... In <em><strong>Wind the Film!</strong></em>, you're trying to organize pictures on your roll so that they appear in the right order. Each player has a hand of cards, and on a turn, you'll add 1-3 cards to the front of your hand (without changing their order), move one card in your hand closer to the front, then discard as many cards from the back of your hand as the number of cards that you added. When the sunset card comes out, you can take no more pictures, and everyone scores for what's on their camera. The cards all have numbers and colors on them, and you try to line them up in hand to score the most points possible. </div> </article></div> | ||

With a huge shopping culture, Edo's main district, Nihonbashi, was lined with shops, selling kimonos, rice, and so much more. Nihonbashi is the focus of <em><strong>IKI: A Game of EDO Artisans</strong></em>, which brings you on a journey through the famed street of old Tokyo. Hear the voices of Nihonbashi Bridge's great fish market. Meet the professionals, who carry out 700-800 different jobs. Enter the interactivity of the shoppers and vendors. Become one with the townspeople. One of the main professions in the world of Edo is the artisan. Each of the Edo artisans uses their own skill of trade to support the townspeople's lives. In this game, not only are there artisans, but street vendors, sellers at the shops, and professions unique to this time and age. Meet the puppet masters, putting on a show. Meet the ear cleaners that people would line up for. The goal of this game is to become the annual Edoite, best personifying what is known as "IKI", an ancient philosophy believed to be the ideal way of living among people in Edo.

The chapters can be played in any order, but ideally you play them in sequence. In each chapter, each player takes a different character role — Frodo, Gandalf, Sam, Pippin, Farmer Maggot, etc. — and each character has a condition that must be met in order to pass the chapter and advance in the story. Frodo needs to capture ring cards, for example, while Pippin wants to take as few tricks as possible. As you advance through the chapters, new characters, items, and challenges are introduced to the game. The deck consists of 37 cards, with one card being set aside as "lost" each hand. Whoever is dealt the One Ring becomes Frodo, then other players choose from the available characters based on their hand. The One Ring is the game's only trump card, but initially rings can't be led until someone plays one off-suit. In the two-player game, one hand of cards is dealt to a dummy player, with some cards being face up and others face down. This dummy is assigned a character, and one of the human players will play cards for it based on which cards are free to be played. In the solitaire game, one player plays four hands of face-up cards, with each hand being assigned a character and only a few cards being available at a time. After you play a trick, deal each hand a new card. </div> </article></div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-top game-awards panel-condensed ng-scope"> <div class="panel-header panel-header-sm"> <h3 class="panel-title">Awards & Honors</h3> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="panel-expandable ng-isolate-scope expandable full"> <div class="expandable-envelope"> <div class="expandable-body"> <ul class="list-unstyled ng-scope"> <li class="ng-scope">2024 Golden Geek Medium Game of the Year Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2024 Golden Geek Best Thematic Board Game Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2024 Golden Geek Best Cooperative Game Winner</li> <li class="ng-scope">2024 Golden Geek Best Cooperative Game Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2024 Golden Geek Best Board Game Artwork & Presentation Nominee</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> | ||
 | SUMO | All Board Games, Card Games | £14.99 | | In Stock | 2 player only, Card Game, Small, trick taking, Tug-of-war | <div class="expandable-body"><article class="game-description-body ng-scope"> <div class="ng-binding"> In <em><strong>SUMO</strong></em>, you try to use card play to push your opponent from the game. To set up, place the sumo wrestlers card in the center of the sumo ring. (The sumo ring has only three positions: left, center, and right.) One player sits on the left of the ring, the other on the right. Deal each player a hand of eight cards from a deck that contains 20 cards: 1-5 in four suits. Each player plays and reveals a card, with the high card playing first in the first trick; if the cards are tied, repeat this action until one player wins or all eight cards have been revealed, in which case you shuffle and re-deal. The first player plays a card, then the other player must follow suit, if possible. If the second player is off suit, the first player wins; if not, whoever played the higher card wins. In either case, the winner pushes the sumo wrestlers card away from them, then leads to the next trick. If the sumo wrestlers are ever pushed out of the ring, the pusher wins the game. If this doesn't happen, the winner of the final trick wins the game. However, a player can win earlier through one of three "sumo moves": <ul> <li><strong>Abise-taoshi:</strong> Crushing the opponent with your weight, which in game terms means playing a 4 in the same color after a lead 1.</li> <li><strong>Hikiotoshi:</strong> Using the opponent's momentum to knock them down, which in game terms means playing a 1 in the same color after a lead 5.</li> <li><strong>Wucchari:</strong> Throwing your opponent out of the ring, which happens should you play an off-color 2 when the sumo wrestlers card is on the edge of the ring near you.</li> </ul> </div> </article></div> | ||
 | Coloretto | All Board Games, Card Games, Family & Children | £14.99 | | In Stock | Family Game, Set Collection | <div class="panel panel-condensed panel-expandable ng-scope ng-isolate-scope expandable full"> <div class="expandable-envelope"> <div class="expandable-body"><article class="game-description-body ng-scope"> <div class="ng-binding"> Game play in <strong>Coloretto</strong> is simple: Either draw a card to play to a row, or take a row of cards to add them to your collection. A row can have at most three cards, so at some point everyone is forced to take a row. Once all the rows have been claimed, players start a new round, drawing or taking once again. What are you trying to do with these cards? Collect huge sets - but only in three colors as every color beyond the third will cost you points. Jokers are highly-prized as they always match what you want, and +2 cards provide sure points, giving you a back-up plan if everything goes south in terms of the colors you're collecting. Once only a few cards remain in the deck, the round ends and everyone tallies their score, choosing three colors of cards to score positively while any other colors count against you. Each color is scored using a triangular number system: the first card in a color is ±1 point, the second card is ±2 points, and so on. The player with the high score wins! A two-player variant is included with some versions of <strong>Coloretto</strong>, with the only change being that rows can have only 1-3 cards placed in them, depending on the icons on the row cards. <strong>Nordic version</strong> include extensions: 'Coloretto: The Extra Cards', 'Coloretto: The Limit Cards' and 'Coloretto for two players'. </div> </article></div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-top game-awards panel-condensed ng-scope"> <div class="panel-header panel-header-sm"> <h3 class="panel-title">Awards & Honors</h3> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="panel-expandable ng-isolate-scope expandable open"> <div class="expandable-envelope"> <div class="expandable-body"> <ul class="list-unstyled ng-scope"> <li class="ng-scope">2019 5 Seasons Best International Family Game Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2011 Ludo Award Best Card Game Editor's Choice Winner</li> <li class="ng-scope">2004 Hra roku Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2003 Spiel des Jahres Recommended</li> <li class="ng-scope">2003 Meeples Choice Award Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2003 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Foreign Game for Beginners Winner</li> <li class="ng-scope">2003 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Foreign Game for Beginners Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2003 International Gamers Awards - General Strategy; Multi-player Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2003 Fairplay À la carte Winner</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> | ||

Playing as the beleaguered crew of an impounded starship, players find themselves confined to the detention block of a vast space station. Using a variety of advanced gear and weaponry, they will embark on a desperate mission to find their ship and blast their way home. Along the way, the crew will have to overcome a variety of dangers, traps, and terrors. From cyborg guards and faulty replicators to killer alien organisms, each challenge is represented by a large, beautifully illustrated chapter card. As these immersive chapter cards are revealed one by one, the game takes on the form of a shared storybook experience, with the players making decisions about what to do each chapter before using a combination of dice and item cards to complete the task before them.

In the game, you plant, then harvest bean cards in order to earn coins. Each player starts with a hand of random bean cards, and each card has a number on it corresponding to the number of that type of beans in the deck. Unlike in most other card games, you can't rearrange the order of cards in hand, so you must use them in the order that you've picked them up from the deck — unless you can trade them to other players, which is the heart of the game. On a turn, you must plant the first one or two cards in your hand into the "fields" in front of you. Each field can hold only one type of bean, so if you must plant a type of bean that's not in one of your fields, then you must harvest a field to make room for the new arrival. This usually isn't good! Next, you reveal two cards from the deck, and you can then trade these cards as well as any card in your hand for cards from other players. You can even make future promises for cards received right now! After all the trading is complete — and all trades on a turn must involve the active player — then you end your turn by drawing cards from the deck and placing them at the back of your hand. When you harvest beans, you receive coins based on the number of bean cards in that field and the "beanometer" for that particular type of bean.

 | Trash Pandas | All Board Games, Card Games, Family & Children, Party Games | £13.99 | | In Stock | Card Game, Hand Management | <div class="expandable-body"><article class="game-description-body ng-scope"> <div class="ng-binding"> In <em><strong>Trash Pandas</strong></em>, players are raucous raccoons, tipping over trash cans for food (and shiny objects). Players push their luck to acquire more cards, but must stash them in order for them to count as points at the end of the game. When the deck runs out, the game ends and players compare their stashes to see who has the majority for each card type and score points accordingly. The player with the most points wins! In more detail, on a turn the active player rolls a die in the hope of gaining the benefit of the roll result. With each roll, the player decides to keep rolling or stop and activate the dice results. However, with each additional roll, the odds of busting (getting a duplicate result) increase further and the player risks losing the progress they've made that round. When activating the dice results, the player will draw cards, steal cards from other players, and stash cards. Cards in hand may be used for their listed ability, but they count as points only when stashed. —<em>description from the publisher</em> </div> </article></div> | ||

The Aesther recluse Hail has earned a reputation for being highly instrumental in saving the city from recurring disasters, and she absolutely hates it. Wannabe heroes are constantly barging in on her studies at the Crooked Bone, looking for help in becoming famous themselves — not to mention all the demons that come by looking for vengeance. She briefly considered moving, but as that would require effort, she instead just placed an enchantment on her front door: Anyone who attempts to open it becomes miniaturized and therefore is no longer a problem. Your character is one such wannabe hero. In an ill-advised attempt at fame, they try to visit Hail, and poof. Now they're the size of a mouse and have entered an entirely different realm of lawlessness and self-preservation. They must find a new way into the Crooked Bone to convince Hail to return them to their previous size. Each scenario is a single card, pitting one mercenary against a handful of enemies with simplified actions and AI. Each mercenary has a hand of just four double-sided cards, but they can be used twice — both the front and the back — before they are discarded. Attacks are resolved using a die in conjunction with a modifier table, and both the table and the mercenary ability cards can be improved as you level up throughout the campaign. <em>—description from the publisher</em> </div> </article></div> | ||

Not in this naughty game of cards – in fact, you'll probably have to cheat in order to win. In <em><strong>Mogel Motte</strong></em> you want to get rid of all the cards in your hand before anyone else. Each player starts the round with a hand of eight cards, with one player (the oldest) receiving the guard bug – which stays on the table throughout the game – and one card being turnd face-up to start a discard pile. The cards are numbered 1-5, with the majority of them having only numbers; some cards have special abilities that come into play when added to the discard pile or in a player's hand. On a turn, a player places one card from her hand onto the discard pile; that card must be numbered exactly one higher or lower than the card on top of the discard pile. (The numbers wrap, so a 1 can be played on a 5 and vice versa.) If a player can't play a card, she draws one from the deck and her turn ends. There's another way to rid yourself of cards, though: cheating! Throughout the round, you can make cards disappear by dropping them on the floor, hiding them up your sleeve and so on. You must keep your hand of cards above the table at all times, you can't vanish more than one card at once, and you can't rid yourself of your final card this way. The player with the guard bug – and only him! – can call out other players for cheating, and no one can cheat while the accusation is being resolved. If the accusation was false, the Guard must draw a card; otherwise the cheating player takes back the card she tried to lose, is given a card from the Guard's hand as additional punishment, and becomes the new Guard. Cheating is a necessity as the "Cheating Moth" cards can't be played onto the discard pile, but must be disappeared via cheating. (The Guard, however, can play these cards as the Guard is not allowed to cheat.) The action cards work as follows: <ul> <li><strong>Ant:</strong> After an ant is played, everyone but the active player must take a card from the draw pile.</li> <li><strong>Cockroach:</strong> After a cockroach is played, everyone races to play an identically-numbered card on top of it. Only the fastest player gets to leave her card in place.</li> <li><strong>Mosquito:</strong> After a mosquito is played, everyone but the active player must slap the pile of cards. Whoever is slowest receives a card from the hand of all other players.</li> <li><strong>Spider:</strong> After playing this, give a non-Cheating Moth card from your hand to another player.</li> </ul> When one player has no cards in hand, the round ends. All other players score 10 points for each Cheating Moth in hand, 5 points for each action card, and 1 point for each number card. After a number of rounds equal to the number of players, the game ends and the player with the lowest score wins. <div class="panel-header panel-header-sm"> <h3 class="panel-title">Awards & Honors</h3> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="panel-expandable ng-isolate-scope expandable open"> <div class="expandable-envelope"> <div class="expandable-body"> <ul class="list-unstyled ng-scope"> <li class="ng-scope">2013 Juego del Año Finalist</li> <li class="ng-scope">2013 As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2012 Spiel des Jahres Kinderspiel Recommended</li> <li class="ng-scope">2012 JUGuinho Best Children's Game Winner</li> <li class="ng-scope">2012 Fairplay À la carte Runner-up</li> <li class="ng-scope">2012 Deutscher Spiele Preis Best Children's Game Winner</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article></div> </div> </div> | |

 | Odin | All Board Games, Card Games | £11.99 | Out of stock | <span class="ng-binding">Collect and play the right cards to rule Valhalla!</span> | Out of Stock | BGA, Card Game, Family, Ladder Climbing, Vikings | In Odin, you want to empty your hand as quickly as possible, sending all your Vikings out into the world. The game lasts several hands, with each hand consisting of one or more rounds. The deck contains cards in six suits, each numbered 1-9, and each player starts with a hand of nine cards. The lead player for the hand lays a single card on the table. The next player either passes (but can play on a future turn) or plays the same number of cards (or one more than that number) with a higher value. When you play two or more cards, the cards must be the same number or color, and the value of these cards is created by placing their digits in order from high to low. For example, if you play a blue 3 and blue 6, their value is 63, not 36. When you play and are not the lead, you must take one of the cards from the previous play into your hand, then discard the rest. Play continues around the table until either a player is out of cards, which ends the round immediately, or all players have passed in succession. In the latter case, discard the cards last played; whoever played these cards lays a single card to start a new round. Alternatively, if the lead player has cards in hand of a single suit or number, they play all of these cards at once to end the hand. When a hand ends, each player scores 1 point for each card they still hold. If no player has at least 15 points, shuffle the deck and start a new hand. If someone does have 15 or more points, whoever has the fewest points wins. | |

The Eye turns to Middle-earth. The hour has come. The Fellowship is reunited. The Heroes prepare for battle. Will you play as the Fellowship of the Ring to defend the free races and destroy the One Ring? Or will you play as Sauron and pursue Frodo and Sam while deploying your hordes to the gates of the enemy cities? The destiny of Middle-earth is in your hands! A game plays over 3 successive chapters that unfold similarly. On your turn, strengthen your Skills, hoard your treasure, stretch your presence across Middle-earth, rally Races to your cause, or advance the Quest of the Ring. <strong>Turn Overview </strong>In each chapter players take cards from a display of face-down and face-up cards arranged at the start of a round. A player can take a card only if it's available, that is not partially covered by any other cards. Players can either play the card, paying its cost and placing it in their play area, obtaining its benefit, or discard the card and take as many coins from the reserve as the current chapter. Players can also take a Landmark tile from one of the faceup tiles, paying its cost placing it in their play area. They will be able to immediately place a Fortress pawn on the corresponding region of the central board and benefit from its other effects. Victory Conditions Immediately win the game by fulfilling one of the 3 victory conditions: - Quest of the Ring For the Fellowship: If Frodo and Sam reach Mount Doom, they destroy the One Ring and you immediately win the game. For Sauron: If the Nazgûl catch Frodo and Sam, they seize the One Ring and you immediately win the game. - Support of the Races If any player gathers 6 different Race symbols on their Green cards, they rally the support of the Races of Middle-earth and immediately win the game - Conquering Middle-earth If a player is present in all 7 regions (with a Fortress and/or at least 1 Unit), they dominate Middle-earth and immediately win the game. If none of these three victory conditions are achieved by the end of chapter 3, the player who is present in the most regions of Middle-earth (with a Fortress and/or at least 1 Unit) wins the game. In case of tie, share the victory. | |

The first team to figure out the secret object wins! To set up Phantom Ink, divide players so that the Sun team and the Moon team each have one Spirit and up to three Mediums. The mediums on a team share a hand of seven question cards, and the spirits begin the game by choosing one of the five objects on a card as the secret object. On a turn, the mediums pass two question cards to their spirit, with sample questions like "What color is it most commonly?", "What fictional character has it or uses it?", and "If it were a musical instrument, what would it be?" The spirit discards one question card face up, then returns the question card it's going to answer to their mediums, then slowly writes the answer one letter at a time for all to see. As soon as the mediums think they know what this clue word is, they yell "Silencio", and the spirit stops writing. The other team of mediums might see only the letter "Y", but if you know the question is "What color is it?", then you know the clue must be "yellow". To end your turn, draw two new question cards. On a turn, instead of handing over question cards, you can attempt to guess the answer — and to do so you write like the spirits, one letter at a time. If you write an incorrect letter, the spirits will stop you, marking out your error, with your partial guess giving the other team more information. If you guess the entire word correctly, you win! <strong>Awards & Honors</strong> 2024 Spiel des Jahres Recommended 2024 GEEKS d'OURO Family/Party Board Game of the Year Nominee 2023 Mensa Recommended 2022 Golden Geek Best Party Game Nominee | |

Four tiles are on display, with each tile being paired at random with a wildlife token, so you must make the best of what's available — unless you have a nature token to spend so that you can pick your choice of each item. Ideally you can place habitat tiles to create matching terrain that reduces fragmentation and creates wildlife corridors, mostly because you score for the largest area of each type of habitat at game's end, with a bonus if your group is larger than each other player's. At the same time, you want to place wildlife tokens so that you can maximize the number of points scored by them, with the wildlife goals being determined at random by one of the four scoring cards for each type of wildlife. Maybe hawks want to be separate from other hawks, while foxes want lots of different animals surrounding them and bears want to be in pairs. Can you make it happen? <strong>Awards & Honors</strong> 2024 GEEKS d'OURO Solo Board Game of the Year Nominee 2023/2024 Årets Spill Best Family Game Winner 2023/2024 Årets Spill Best Family Game Nominee 2023 Guldbrikken Best Family Game Nominee 2023 Årets Spel Best Adult Game Winner 2022 Tric Trac Initiés Nominee 2022 SXSW Tabletop Game of the Year Nominee 2022 Swiss Gamers Award Nominee 2022 Spiel des Jahres Winner 2022 Spiel des Jahres Nominee 2022 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Best Family Game Winner 2022 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Best Family Game Nominee 2022 JUGuinho Families Game of the Year Winner 2022 JUGuinho Families Game of the Year Finalist 2022 Japan Boardgame Prize Voters' Selection Nominee 2022 International Gamers Award Solo Winner 2022 International Gamers Award Solo Nominee 2022 Hra roku Winner 2022 Hra roku Nominee 2022 Gra Roku Family Game of the Year Winner 2022 Gra Roku Family Game of the Year Nominee 2022 Gra Roku Best Two Player Game Nominee 2022 Gioco dell’Anno Nominee 2022 Geek Media Awards Family Game of the Year Winner 2022 Geek Media Awards Family Game of the Year Nominee 2022 Dragon Awards Best Science Fiction or Fantasy Board Game Nominee 2022 Bulgarian Board Game Awards International Game of the Year Winner 2022 Bulgarian Board Game Awards International Game of the Year Nominee 2022 American Tabletop Strategy Games Winner 2021 Golden Geek Light Game of the Year Winner 2021 Golden Geek Light Game of the Year Nominee 2021 Golden Geek Best Solo Board Game Nominee 2021 Golden Geek Best Board Game Artwork & Presentation Nominee 2021 Cardboard Republic Architect Laurel Nominee | ||

For this, you’ll need Shows, Stars, and Ads. Shows need Stars and Ads. Stars give you bonus viewers (points), and Ads give you extra money. You’ll need everything you can get; you'll have a small amount of resources and time, and you must grab the latest hot show before your opponents. And some Stars will give their best effort only if you put them on in the proper conditions. For example, some Stars only want to be put on dramas. Other Stars want to be the only Star on the show. And your Ads will give you the most money only if you put them on in the correct time slot. Finally, Shows age and viewers lose interest, so you have to keep your line-up fresh by canceling shows and sending them into reruns. Fortunately, you can get viewers from your reruns, and you'll get bonuses if you get a lot of shows of the same genre throughout the game. If you need a special push, Network Cards can give you special powers — but will a Network Card be better than another action? You'll have to make that call.

You are in the middle of the <em>Gouden Eeuw</em>, the Dutch Golden Age. Amsterdam is the beating heart of global trade and the wealthiest city on Earth. Goods from around the world are piling up on the docks, in ship holds, in warehouses, and on the banks of its countless canals. You mean to profit from this! Each player starts with a supply of 16 carts, two transportation cards in hand, and one or two trade contract tickets that show locations in the Amsterdam market. On a turn, you either draw two transportation cards from the deck or the display of five face-up cards (or you take one face-up wild card, which counts as all six colors in the game); or you claim a route on the board by discarding cards that match the color of the route being claimed (with any set of cards allowing you to claim a gray route); or you draw two trade contract tickets and keep at least one of them. Whenever you complete a route that has carts depicted on it, with these primarily being on the perimeter of the city, you claim a merchandise bonus card. Players take turns until someone has no more than two carts in their supply, then each player takes one final turn, including the player who triggered the end of the game. Players then sum their points, scoring points for the routes that they've claimed during the game, the trade contract tickets that they've completed (by connecting the two locations on a ticket by a continuous line of their carts), and their standing among those who hold merchandise bonus cards. Whoever holds the most cards collects 8 points, with other players collecting fewer points. You lose points for any uncompleted contract tickets, then whoever has the high score wins! | |

To set up the game, shuffle the deck and deal the cards out to players. On a turn, a player takes one card from his hand, lays it face down on the table, slides it to a player of his choice, and declares a type of critter, e.g., "Stink bug". The player receiving the card either: Accepts the card, says either "true" or "false", then reveals the card. If this player is wrong in her claim, she keeps the card on the table in front of her face up; if she is right, the player who gave her the card places it face up before him. Passes the card to another player, peeking at it first, then keeping it face-down and either saying the original type of critter or saying a new type. This new player again has the choice of accepting the card or passing it, unless the card has already been seen by all other players in which case the player must accept it and make a true/false claim. The game ends when a player has no cards to pass on his turn or when a player has four cards of the same critter on the table in front of him. In either case, this player loses and everyone else wins. To this, Kakerlakenpoker Royal adds new rules and new nasty "royal" critters to create more options for players during the game. | |

 | Lost Cities | All Board Games, Strategy Games | £17.99 | | Gain points by mounting profitable archaeological expeditions to the different sites. | In Stock | 2 player only, 2-player, Card Game, Maths, Set Collection, trick taking | Lost Cities: The Card Game is from the Kosmos two player line. The game is very similar to Lost Cities: The Board Game, but is specifically designed for two players. In Lost Cities: The Card Game, players are trying to lead successful archaeological expeditions in a variety of territories, whilst their opponent is doing the same thing. Players run their expeditions using cards in their hand. There are cards numbered two to ten for each of the expedition tracks, as well as three handshake cards for each colour. The handshakes act as multipliers for each track. The first handshake doubles the score on the track, the second triples and the third quadruples the score. However, the handshakes act as multipliers for negative as well as positive scores, so players need to be wary. On their turn, a player can either play a card from their hand to their expedition, or they can discard a card to draw a new one. Players must play cards to their side of the expedition board in ascending order, with handshake cards placed first. However, if they discard a card, this goes in the middle of the expedition board and can be taken and used by the other player. At the end of the game, players calculate their points. If they have not started on an expedition track they receive no points for that track. However, on each track which has been started, players start at a points value of minus 20. Players therefore need to have played cards worth at least 20 points to make a profit on the expedition. There is an element of luck as to when cards are drawn. There is also the strategy of working out whether it is worth starting on a particular track and which card to discard when. | |

The game is set in late 19th century Paris during the 1889 “Exposition Universelle,” or world’s fair, when public electricity was a hot topic. Electricity spread throughout the city, creating today’s beautiful nocturnal Parisian streets and coining Paris’s nickname “La Cité de la Lumiére”, the city of lights. The most well-lit buildings are admired more highly by passers-by. In the first phase, players can either place tiles or grow their reserve of buildings. The cobblestone tiles are divided into 4 random spaces (their color, their opponents’ color, a streetlight or a mixed-color space where either player can build). Then, in the second phase, players build on top of their color or the mixed spaces, in effort to position their buildings as close to as many streetlights as possible. More streetlights solicit more adoration and points. The player with the best lit buildings steals the hearts of Parisian pedestrians and wins the game.

Players take the role of amateur cavers attempting to escape an unexplored network of subterranean tunnels, before the lights flicker out or the darker things beneath the Earth catch up to them... In Sub Terra players spend their turn exploring and revealing the tunnel system around them, attempting to survive the various perils of the cave, from floods and cave ins to gas leaks and scree. Players each have a role which gives them specialist abilities, such as an Engineer with dynamite to blast a new route or a Scout to find a route more easily. New tiles are placed from a randomised stack of cave features, which determines whether you'll be hit with a dead end or a range of new options. At the end of each turn, players face the reality of their situation, with a hazard card drawn to determine what danger causes them damage or cuts off their way out of the horror below. These cards are finite, and when they run out, your torches flicker and the air feels tight, and your chance of survival diminishes quickly.

The rules are simple. Each turn, players have two options: play one of their chips to avoid picking up the current face-up card pick up the face-up card (along with any chips that have already been played on that card) and turn over the next card However, the choices aren't so easy as players compete to have the lowest score at the end of the game. The deck of cards is numbered from 3 to 35, with each card counting for a number of points equal to its face value. Runs of two or more cards only count as the lowest value in the run - but nine cards are removed from the deck before starting, so be careful looking for connectors. Each chip is worth -1 point, but they can be even more valuable by allowing you to avoid drawing that unwanted card. The first versions of the game supported up to five players, but a 2011 edition supports up to seven.

To play, you shuffle the 104 number cards, lay out four cards face-up to start the four rows, then deal ten cards to each player. Each turn, players simultaneously choose and reveal a card from their hand, then add the cards to the rows, with cards being placed in ascending order based on their number; specifically, each card is placed in the row that ends with the highest number that's below the card's number. When the sixth card is placed in a row, the owner of that card claims the other five cards and the sixth card becomes the first card in a new row. In addition to a number from 1 to 104, each card has a point value. After finishing ten rounds, players tally their score and see whether the game ends., i.e., whether someone has at least 66 points. When this happens, the player with the fewest points wins! 6 nimmt! works with 2-10 players, and the dynamics of gameplay change the more players that you have. One variant for the game has you use 34 cards, 44 cards, 54 cards, etc. (instead of all 104 cards) when you have three, four, five, etc. number of players. This change allows you to know which cards are in play, thereby allowing you to track which cards have been played and (theoretically) make better choices as to which card to play when. | |

Each card has a point value, ranging from -3 to 13, shown in the corners of the card. The goal is to have the lowest sum of points at the end of each round, accomplished by swapping, stealing, and getting rid of cards. Points are scored after each round, with the game continuing to an agreed mark when the player with the lowest score wins. Before the game begins, players have ONE opportunity to look at any TWO of their own cards, returning them to the same face-down position. Players should remember their value and location. Over a series of rounds, players will draw 1 card and chose to keep the drawn card, exchanging it for one of their own face down cards or immediately discard it, possibly triggering a special ability allowing them to peek at, swap or give additional facedown cards to other players. When any player feels as though they have the lowest hand of cards in front of them, they call Archduke which triggers the final scoring of each round. The lowest score wins. | |

When you take a tile, place it adjacent to at least one other tile in your display, then see whether you complete any tasks on your tiles; each time you do, cover that task with a token. Tiles contain 0-3 frames and 0-3 tasks, with each of these coming in four colours. A task might be, for example, a green 3, and to complete the task, the tile bearing this task must be part of a set of three tiles that have green frames, whether directly or via an orthogonal chain of connection with tiles that have green frames. Tasks might be two colours, e.g., red and brown, which means that both frame colours can be used to satisfy the task. Alternatively, a task might be 4 yellow or 4 brown. Also, conditional tasks exist in which you must first complete one task before you can complete the second one. Whoever first places all of their tokens wins. Framework also includes a solo game in which you attempt to place all of your tokens in an area of tiles that is as close to a 5x5 grid as possible. | |

Players venture down mine shafts or explore paths in the jungle by turning up cards from a deck and evenly sharing the gems they find on the way, with any leftover gems being placed on the card. Before the next card is revealed, you have the chance to leave the mine and stash your holdings, including any gems you get on the way out. Why would you leave? Because the deck also contains hazards: scorpions, snakes, poison gas, explosions and rockfalls. When a particular hazard is revealed for the second time (e.g., a second scorpion), anyone still in the shaft or on the path has to drop all the gems they've collected that round and flee for safety. The trick is that as more players leave each turn, your share of the pie grows larger, which will perhaps inspire you to explore deeper — but at the risk of ending up with nothing. All editions of <em>Incan Gold</em> and later editions of <em>Diamant</em> include five artifact cards that are shuffled into the deck of gem and hazard cards, either one per round or all at once. When an artifact card is revealed, no one can take this card and it's placed on the path. If exactly one player leaves at the end of a turn, they collect not only all gems that remain on the path, but the artifact as well, which is worth points at the end of the game. </div> </article></div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-top game-awards panel-condensed ng-scope"> <div class="panel-header panel-header-sm"> <div class="panel-title"><strong>Awards & Honors</strong></div> </div> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="panel-expandable ng-isolate-scope expandable open"> <div class="expandable-envelope"> <div class="expandable-body"> <ul class="list-unstyled ng-scope"> <li class="ng-scope">2018 Årets Spel Best Family Game Winner</li> <li class="ng-scope">2017 Hra roku Finalist</li> <li class="ng-scope">2011 Japan Boardgame Prize U-more Award Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2006 Golden Geek Best Light / Party Game Winner</li> <li class="ng-scope">2006 Golden Geek Best Light / Party Game Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2006 Golden Geek Best Kids' Board Game Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2006 Golden Geek Best Family Board Game Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2005 Spiel des Jahres Recommended</li> <li class="ng-scope">2005 Spiel der Spiele Hit für Viele Recommended</li> <li class="ng-scope">2005 Kinderspielexperten "8-to-13-year-olds" Third Place</li> <li class="ng-scope">2005 Kinderspielexperten "8-to-13-year-olds" Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2005 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Foreign Game for Beginners Winner</li> <li class="ng-scope">2005 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Foreign Game for Beginners</li> <li class="ng-scope">2005 International Gamers Awards - General Strategy; Multi-player Nominee</li> <li class="ng-scope">2005 Fairplay À la carte Runner-up</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> | |

Could be a gigantic koala, a fleet of rampaging robots or an old lady with a rocket launcher — there's just no telling. Working together with the rest of the players, your goal is to navigate your way through the adventure, conquer any obstacle you encounter and make it to the end in one piece. Oh. and you'll want to keep an eye on that Tower of Peril too. Let it topple before you reach the end and it'll be game over for everyone. Unlike most adventure games, <em>What Next</em> isn't just about picking the right path. Buried inside these adventures, you'll find over 60 dexterity challenges, each one designed to stop you dead In your tracks. Want to grab a vine and swing from the trees? You'll need to throw a card into the air and catch it first. Decide to walk over that old rope bridge? Well, first you'll need to flick the wooden puck across the table, without it falling off. It's important to master every mini-game you come across in these adventures — or you might not make it to the finish line. The players turn over the next location card, read out the story and then choose which path to take next. If there is an event, the player reading the card must complete the dexterity challenge. The game ends when either the players reach the end of the adventure (win), or the tower of peril collapses (lose). </div> </article></div> | |

In the middle of the field, three white magnetic pieces serve as "obstacles" – do NOT attract them to your own gaming piece! Your gaming piece is a black magnet. You control it by holding a large magnet under the board. This magnet is connected to a small magnet placed on the field. The purpose of the game is to push the small, red ball around on the field with your magnet/gaming piece, shoot the ball past the obstacles and your opponent and into the goal hole (Klask). It’s so much fun when your opponent suddenly is covered in white obstacles or you drop your gaming piece into the goal – something which might happen if you get a little too eager! Place the game board on a table between the two players. Place the three white magnetic pieces on the white fields on the board. Put two coins in each point slot next to the "0". Each player has a black magnetic gaming piece in two parts. Place the short (thin) part on top of the board and the long (thick) part under the board in such a way, so the two parts “catch” each other. Place the ball in the corner start field. Steer it with the black gaming pieces. The youngest player starts the game. You score a point if: <ul> <li>The ball ends in your opponent's hole and stays in the hole.</li> <li>Two or all of the three white magnetic pieces stick to your opponent's gaming piece.</li> <li>The opponent accidentally pulls their gaming piece into their own goal hole.</li> <li>If the opponent loses their gaming piece.</li> </ul> Each time you get a point, you must move your coin one point forward in the point slot.

You, the player, take control of one of four, miserable families, all as eccentric as the each other and full of misfits and misanthropes. During a game of Gloom, you have one simple goal: To ensure your family has the most miserable and sad time possible before meeting their untimely, yet rather comforting demise. It is said that the quality of afterlife is made better by the gloomier of existences beforehand, hence the need to put your family through the worst days of their lives. Use cards such as 'Mocked by Midgets' to lower your families' self-worth and make them feel unwelcome and unloved and just utterly miserable, while at the same time trying to boost your opponent's families, making them feel joyful and happy with such events as weddings which rapidly increase a players self-worth! The player with the lowest family self-worth at the end of the game will be declared the winner! Printed on rather unique transparent cards, Gloom allows players to place modifiers on cards with other players able to see the modifiers throughout!

With peace at the borders, harmony inside the provinces, uniform law, and a common currency, the economy thrived and gave rise to mighty Roman dynasties as they expanded throughout the numerous cities. Guide one of these dynasties and send colonists to the remote realms of the Empire; develop your trade network; and appease the ancient gods for their favor ? all to gain the chance to emerge victorious! Concordia is a peaceful strategy game of economic development in Roman times for 2-5 players aged 13 and up. Instead of looking to the luck of dice or cards, players must rely on their strategic abilities. Be sure to watch your rivals to determine which goals they are pursuing and where you can outpace them! In the game, colonists are sent out from Rome to settle down in cities that produce bricks, food, tools, wine, and cloth. Each player starts with an identical set of playing cards and acquires more cards during the game. These cards serve two purposes: They allow a player to choose actions during the game. They are worth victory points (VPs) at the end of the game. Concordia is a strategy game that requires advance planning and consideration of your opponent's moves. Every game is different, not only because of the sequence of new cards on sale but also due to the modular layout of cities. (One side of the game board shows the entire Roman Empire with 30 cities for 3-5 players, while the other shows Roman Italy with 25 cities for 2-4 players.) When all cards have been sold or after the first player builds his 15th house, the game ends. The player with the most VPs from the gods (Jupiter, Saturnus, Mercurius, Minerva, Vesta, etc.) wins the game.

You are part of a speciality team of investigators tasked with solving this crime. However, there?s a twist? The killer is among you! Deception: Murder in Hong Kong is a devilish party game of deduction and deception for 4-12 players. Games are tense, fast paced and last around 20-30 minutes. <strong>Roles</strong> <strong>Forensic Scientist</strong> x1 As the game master, the Forensic Scientist holds the solution to the crime. They are responsible for assisting the Investigators in identifying the ?Key Evidence? and ?Means of Murder.? When an Investigator does that successfully, the crime is solved and the Forensic Scientist and the Investigators win the game. During the game, the Forensic Scientist is NOT allowed to hint to the solution with words, gestures, or eyes. <strong>Murderer</strong> x1 When the crime takes place, the Murderer chooses 1 Clue card and 1 Means card as the solution to the crime. These will be the ?Key Evidence? and ?Means of Murder? respectively. The Murderer tries to hide their role and look for a scapegoat. Even if they are identified, the Murderer still wins the game if no one correctly identifies both the ?Key Evidence? and the ?Means of Murder?. <strong>Investigators</strong> x8 To solve the crime, the Investigators must analyze the hints given by the Forensic Scientist. As long as one of the Investigators correctly identifies both the ?Key Evidence? and ?Means of Murder,? the Murderer is arrested and the Investigators win the game (as does the Forensic Scientist). Bear in mind that the Murderer (and sometimes Accomplice) is among the Investigators! The innocent Investigators must make a vigorous effort to defend themselves from false accusation. <strong>Accomplice</strong> x1 The Accomplice is an optional role for games with six or more players. The Accomplice knows who the Murderer is, as well as the solution to the crime. The Accomplice and Murderer both win if the Murderer gets away with his crime. <strong>Witness</strong> x1 The Witness is an optional role when playing with six or more players.* The Witness is an Investigator who has witnessed the culprits leaving the crime scene. They have no way of knowing which is the Murderer and which is the Accomplice and they do not know how the crime was committed. If the Murderer is arrested but can identify the Witness, the Witness is considered to be killed, allowing the Murderer and the Accomplice to get away with murder and win the game. 2019 Juego del A?o Recommended 2017 Lys Grand Public Finalist | |

A family of greedy rural farmers is determined to make its fortune and has devised a diabolical stratagem to achieve this goal: Invest in an inn so they can rob traveling guests, getting rich without arousing the suspicions of the police! Whether or not their plan will work out, one thing is certain: Not every guest will leave this inn alive. <em>The Bloody Inn</em> is a card game in which you play one member of a family of greedy, murderous innkeepers. At the start of each round, cards are placed face up to fill the inn with guests. Each card carries a cost representing how many cards a player must discard from her hand in order to take an action related to that card. Certain guests have an affinity for particular actions, so those cards return to a player's hand after being discarded. Cards also show how much money, in francs, each guest possesses. A round has two phases in which players take one action each, in turn order. Players choose one of the following actions: <ul> <li>bribe a guest into becoming an accomplice (take a card from the inn to their hand)</li> <li>build an annex (move a card from their hand to their player area; it now represents a structure under which a victim may be buried)</li> <li>kill a guest (move a card from the inn to their player area, awaiting burial)</li> <li>bury a victim (place an unburied victim card under an annex card and take the money from the victim's pockets)</li> <li>launder money (players may only have a certain amount of cash on hand; excess must be converted to 10F checks by the local notary)</li> </ul> At the end of the round, if any room of the inn contains one of the police, then they conduct an investigation; if a player has any unburied victims, then he must pay 10F per victim to the local gravedigger to hurredly ? and quietly ? bury the bodies! Lastly in the round, any cards (accomplices) in each player's hand must be paid 1F each. After the guest deck has been depleted the second time, players take a final round, then tally their francs.

Don't get stuck with a llama! | In Stock | Hand Management, Ladder Climbing, matching, Push Your Luck, Reiner Knizia | In?<em><strong>LLAMA</strong></em>, you want to dump cards from your hand as quickly as you can, but you might not be able to play what you want, so do you quit and freeze your hand or draw and hope to keep playing? Each player starts a round with six cards in hand; the deck consists of llama cards and cards numbered 1-6, with eight copies of each. On a turn, the active player can play a card, draw a card, or quit. To play a card, you must play the same number as the top card of the discard pile or one number higher. If a 6 is on the discard pile, you can play a 6 or a llama, and if a llama is on top, you can play another llama or a 1. If you quit, you place your remaining cards face down and take no further actions in the round. If all players have quit but one, that player can continue to play, but cannot draw more cards. The round ends when one player empties their hand or all players have quit. In either case, players collect tokens based on the cards in their hand. Each different number card in hand gets you white tokens (each worth 1 point) equal to the value of the card while one or more llamas gets you a black token (worth 10 points). (You can exchange ten white tokens for one black token at any time.) If you played all your cards, you can return one token (white or black) that you previously collected to the supply. You then shuffle all the cards and begin a new round, in which the first player to play will be the one who emptied their hand or was the last one to quit in the previous round. The game ends the round that at least one player has forty or more total points. Whoever has the fewest points wins! The original title of this game is a German acronym and stands for?<strong>L</strong>ege?<strong>a</strong>lle?<strong>M</strong>inuspunkte?<strong>a</strong>b, that is, "discard all minus points", with "Lama" also being the German spelling of "llama". The Polish game?<em><strong>Lato z Komarami</strong></em>?features gameplay nearly identical to?<em>LLAMA</em>?except that the game has one less "llama" card, and the penalty for llama cards in hand is 10 points per card, instead of being 10 points for one or more llama cards. | |

After a few minutes, gunfire and hurrying footsteps on the roof can be heard. Heavily armed bandits have come to rob honest citizens of their wallets and jewels. Will they succeed in stealing the suitcase holding the Nice Valley Coal Company's weekly pay, despite it having been placed under the supervision of Marshal Samuel Ford? Will these bandits hinder one another more than the Marshal since only the richest one of them can come out on top?</p> <p>In <em><strong>Colt Express</strong></em>, you play a bandit robbing a train at the same time as other bandits, and your goal is to become the richest outlaw of the Old West. The game consists of five rounds, and each round has two phases:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Phase 1: Schemin'</strong> Each player plays 2-5 action cards on a common pile, with the cards being face up or face down depending on the type of the round. Instead of playing a card, a player can draw three cards from her deck.</li> <li><strong>Phase 2: Stealin'</strong> The action cards are carried out in the order they were played, with a player's best laid plans possibly not panning out due to mistakes and oversights!</li> </ul> <p>The game takes place in a 3D train in which the bandits can move from one car to another, run on the roof, punch the other bandits, shoot them, rob the passengers, or draw the Marshal out of position. The train has as many cars as the number of players, and each car is seeded with gems, bags of loot or suitcases at the start of play.</p> <p>Each player starts a round with six cards in hand, with each card showing one of these actions. At the start of a round, a round card is revealed, showing how many cards will be played; whether they'll be played face up or face down, or individually or in pairs; and what action will occur at the end of the round (e.g., all bandits on top of the train move to the engine). You can pick up loot, gems or suitcases only by playing a "steal" card when you're in a train car that holds one of these items ? but since everyone is planning to get these goods, you'll need to move, punch and shoot to get others out of your way. You can punch someone only in the same car as you, and when you do, the other bandit drops one of the goods he's collected and is knocked into an adjacent car.</p> <p>Each player's character has a special power, such as starting the round with an extra card, playing your first card face down, or pocketing a bag of loot when you punch someone instead of letting it hit the ground.</p> <p>You can shoot someone in an adjacent car or (if you're running on top of the train) anyone in sight, and when you do, you give that player one of your six bullet cards; that card gets shuffled in the opponent's deck, possibly giving her a dead card in hand on a future turn and forcing her to draw instead of playing something. If the Marshal ends up in the same car as you, likely due to other bandits luring him through the train, he'll be happy to give you a bullet, too.</p> <p>At the end of the game, whoever fired the most bullets receives a $1,000 braggart bonus, and whoever bagged the richest haul wins!</p> </div> </article> </div> | |

Each player is randomly and secretly assigned to be a liberal or a fascist, and one player is Secret Hitler. The fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader; the liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it's too late. The liberal team always has a majority. At the beginning of the game, players close their eyes, and the fascists reveal themselves to one another. Secret Hitler keeps his eyes closed, but puts his thumb up so the fascists can see who he is. The fascists learn who Hitler is, but Hitler doesn't know who his fellow fascists are, and the liberals don't know who anyone is. Each round, players elect a President and a Chancellor who will work together to enact a law from a random deck. If the government passes a fascist law, players must try to figure out if they were betrayed or simply unlucky. <em>Secret Hitler</em> also features government powers that come into play as fascism advances. The fascists will use those powers to create chaos unless liberals can pull the nation back from the brink of war. The objective of the liberal team is to pass five liberal policies or assassinate Secret Hitler. The objective of the fascist team is to pass six fascist policies or elect Secret Hitler chancellor after three fascist policies have passed. </div> </article></div> | |

 | Celestia | All Board Games, Family & Children, Party Games | £24.99 | | Players take turns as pilot and press their luck to win the greatest treasures! | In Stock | Party Game | In?<em><strong>Celestia</strong></em>, a revamped version of?<em>Cloud 9</em>, you board an aircraft with a team of adventurers to perform many trips through the cities of Celestia and recover their wonderful treasures. Your journey will not be safe, but you will attempt to be the richest adventurer by collecting the most precious treasures! At the beginning of a journey, all players place their pawns within the aircraft; the players start the game with six cards in hand (or eight depending on the number of players). At the beginning of each round, one player is chosen to be the captain of the trip and he rolls 2-4 dice to discover the challenges that they will face: fog, lightning bolts, killer birds, or pirates. He must then play the appropriate cards ? a compass, a lightning arrester, a foghorn, or even cannons ? to continue on the journey and reach the next city. But before the captain plays the appropriate cards, each player must decide whether to stay within the aircraft: <ul> <li>If you exit, you're guaranteed the victory points that come from exploring the current city.</li> <li>If you stay on board, you hope to make it to the next city in order to catch more precious treasures. If the captain can't overcome the challenge, though, everyone comes crashing down empty-handed and you'll need to begin a new trip with all passengers on board.</li> </ul> During the journey, each adventurer can try to pull out of the game with fabulous objects (a jetpack, astronomy glasses, etc.) or by changing the trip (modifying the travel or abandoning an explorer in the city). As soon as a player earns treasure worth at least fifty points, the game ends and this player wins. | |

Each round, each player receives one of the eight silhouettes (which are numbered 2-8 with one blank), while three silhouettes are placed in the center of the table as suspects and the final silhouette is dubbed the victim. (With three players, the #2 is removed from the game.) You have to determine which suspect is the culprit, either to accuse him or to lure the other players into accusing someone who?s innocent!</p> <p>All players secretly look at their silhouettes, then pass them right, then look at the new silhouette they received. The first player of the round secretly looks at two of the three suspects, optionally swapping the victim for one of these suspects. This player then places a colored accusation marker below one of the suspects. The next player looks at the two suspects not just marked with an accusation marker, then places a colored accusation marker of their own, covering any markers already beneath that suspect. This continues until all four players have placed an accusation marker, with each player not being allowed to look at the suspect just accused.</p> <p>The round ends, and players reveal the suspects. Who?s the culprit? The suspect bearing the highest number ? except if the #5 is among the suspects, in which case the suspect with the lowest number is guilty. (The suspect with no number is always innocent.) Anyone who has accused the correct suspect receives their accusation marker back. Any markers incorrectly placed are flipped colored-side down and given to the player who owns the marker on top of the stack. The first player token rotates clockwise, then a new round begins.</p> <p>At the end of a turn if a player has eight or more tokens ? or has no tokens ? then the game ends, and that player loses.</p> <p>Earlier editions of In a Grove supported 3-4 players, while the 2021 edition contains slight changes to the rules and components to allow for play with 2-5 people.</p> | |

Who decides this? Are we controlled by what we hear and what we see, even while thinking we decide freely? <em><strong>Insider</strong></em> is a game that deals with these questions. While communicating to others, you have to find the right answers to a quiz or find the "insider" who is manipulating the discussion. The insider will do everything to hide their identity while misleading the others.</p> <p>In more detail, players are assigned roles at random. One player is the "master", and they secretly select a word from a set given in a deck of cards. (In a variant given in the rulebook, they can freely select and write down a word.) The "insider" player, whose role is not known to the other players, will then secretly view the word. The rest of the players are known as "commons". The commons then have approximately five minutes in which to ask the master "yes" or "no"-type questions so that they can deduce the secret word. The insider attempts to secretly lead the commons towards the correct word. If the commons fail to guess the correct word, everyone loses.</p> <p>If, however, the word is correctly guessed in the allowable time, the master flips the sand timer, and the commons and master have until the sand runs out to discuss the game and deduce the identity of the insider.

Or will you wait it out and try to recruit different ones?</p> <p>You will feel amazing when you make the right choices in this speedy card game!</p> <p>SCOUT is a ladder-climbing game in which cards have two potential values, players may not rearrange their hand of cards, and players may pass their turn to take a card from the current high set of cards into their hand.</p> <p>More specifically, cards are dual-indexed, with different values on each half of the card, with the 45 cards having all possible combinations of the numbers 1-10. During set-up, whoever is shuffling the cards should randomize both the order of the cards in the deck and their orientation. Once each player has been dealt their entire hand of cards, they pick up that hand without rearranging any of the cards; if they wish, they can rotate their entire hand of cards in order to use the values on the other end of each card, but again they cannot rearrange the order of cards in their hand.</p> <p>On a turn, a player takes one of two actions:</p> <p>? Play: A player chooses one or more adjacent cards in their hand that have all the same value or that have values in consecutive order (whether ascending or descending), then they play this set of cards to the table. They can do this only if the table is empty (as on the first turn) or the set they're playing is ranked higher than the set currently on the table; a set is higher if it has more cards or has cards of the same value instead of consecutive cards or has a set of the same quantity and type but with higher values. In this latter case when a player overplays another set, the player captures the cards in this previous set and places them face down in front of themselves.</p> <p>? Scout: A player takes a card from either end of the set currently on the table and places it anywhere they wish in their hand in either orientation. Whoever played this previous set receives a 1 VP token as a reward for playing a set that wasn't beaten.</p> <p>Once per round, a player can scout, then immediately play.</p> <p>When a player has emptied their hand of cards or all but one player have scouted instead of playing, the round ends. Players receive 1 VP for each face-down card, then subtract one point for each card in their hand (except if they were the player scouted repeatedly to end the game). Play as many rounds as the number of players, then whoever has the most points wins.</p> </div> </article> </div> | |

If you want to use that assistant again later, your merchant must return to that location to pick him up. Thus, you must plan ahead carefully to avoid being left with no assistants and thus unable to do anything...</p> <p>In more detail, on a turn you move your merchant and his retinue of assistants one or two steps through the bazaar, either leave an assistant at that location or collect an assistant left earlier, then perform the action.

Possible actions include:</p> <ul> <li>Paying to increase your wheelbarrow capacity, which starts the game with a capacity of only two for each good.</li> <li>Filling your wheelbarrow with a specified good to its limit.</li> <li>Acquiring a special ability, and the earlier you come, the easier they are to collect.</li> <li>Buying rubies or trading goods for rubies.</li> <li>Selling special combinations of goods to make the money you need to do everything else.</li> </ul> <p>When a merchant has collected five rubies in his wheelbarrow, players complete that round, then the game ends.

Delicious mushrooms beckon from every grove and hollow. Fungi may be the most sought-after in these woods, but there are many tasty and valuable varieties awaiting the savvy collector. Bring a basket if you think it's your lucky day. Forage at night and you will be all alone when you stumble upon a bonanza. If you're hungry, put a pan on the fire and bask in the aroma of chanterelles as you saut? them in butter. Feeling mercantile? Sell porcini to local aficionados for information that will help you find what you seek deep in the forest.</p> <p><em><strong>Fungi</strong></em>, a strategic card game for two players, uses two decks: a Day Deck (84 cards) that includes ten different types of mushrooms as well as baskets, cider, butter, pans, and moons; and a smaller Night Deck (8 cards) of mushrooms to be foraged by moonlight. Each mushroom card has two values: one for selling and one for cooking. Selling two or more like mushrooms grants foraging sticks that expand your options in the forest (that is, the running tableau of eight face-up cards on the table), enabling offensive or defensive plays that change with every game played. Cooking sets of three or more like mushrooms ? sizzling in butter or cider if the set is large enough ? earns points toward winning the game. With poisonous mushrooms wielding their wrath and a hand-size limit to manage, card selection is a tricky proposition at every turn.</p> <p>Following each turn, one card from the forest moves into a decay pile that is available for only a short time. The Day Deck then refills the forest from the back, creating the effect of a walk in the woods in which some strategic morsels are collected, some are passed by, and others lay ahead.</p> | |

As in Snap and Dobble, each player places a card from their hand face up into a community pile while saying taco/cat/goat/cheese/pizza in player sequence. When the card matches the mantra... boom! Everyone slaps their hand on the deck, with the last one to slap picking up the cards. Whoever rids themselves of cards first wins! The entire deck is split between 2-8 players, who then place their individual stack of cards face-down in front of them. Each person takes a turn flipping a card face-up on a pile in the middle while saying the words ?Taco,? ?Cat,? ?Goat,? ?Cheese,? ?Pizza? ? in that order. If the card in the middle matches the word being spoken, the players race to slap their hands down on top of all the cards. Whoever is last must add the entire stack to their own set of cards. The winner is the person who gets rid of all their cards first. For extra fun, special action cards force players to make certain gestures before racing to slap the deck! | |

If you don't make sure that at least one action point is allocated to Honga's den, he'll come steal food from you!

At the beginning, the game starts very similar to basic?<em><a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549/pandemic">Pandemic</a></em>, in which your team of disease-fighting specialists races against the clock to travel around the world, treating disease hotspots while researching cures for each of four plagues before they get out of hand. During a player's turn, they have four actions available, with which they may travel around in the world in various ways (sometimes needing to discard a card), build structures like research stations, treat diseases (removing one cube from the board; if all cubes of a color have been removed, the disease has been eradicated), trade cards with other players, or find a cure for a disease (requiring five cards of the same color to be discarded while at a research station). Each player has a unique role with special abilities to help them at these actions. After a player has taken their actions, they draw two cards. These cards can include epidemic cards, which will place new disease cubes on the board, and can lead to an outbreak, spreading disease cubes even further. Outbreaks additionally increase the panic level of a city, making that city more expensive to travel to. Each month in the game, you have two chances to achieve that month's objectives. If you succeed, you win and immediately move on to the next month. If you fail, you have a second chance, with more funding for beneficial event cards. During the campaign, new rules and components will be introduced. These will sometimes require you to permanently alter the components of the game; this includes writing on cards, ripping up cards, and placing permanent stickers on components. Your characters can gain new skills, or detrimental effects. A character can even be lost entirely, at which point it's no longer available for play. | |

This gold is added to any gold a player gathered along the way by detouring from the race to search for valuable treasure, by stealing gold or treasure from other players, or just by loading gold as directed by the cards the player played during the race. The player with the most total gold acquired through all these means is then declared the winner.</p> </div> </article> </div> | |

As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power - and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there.</em></p> <p><em><strong>Spirit Island</strong></em>?is a complex and thematic cooperative game about defending your island home from colonizing Invaders. Players are different spirits of the land, each with its own unique elemental powers. Every turn, players simultaneously choose which of their power cards to play, paying energy to do so. Using combinations of power cards that match a spirit's elemental affinities can grant free bonus effects. Faster powers take effect immediately, before the Invaders spread and ravage, but other magics are slower, requiring forethought and planning to use effectively. In the Spirit phase, spirits gain energy, and choose how / whether to Grow: to reclaim used power cards, to seek for new power, or to spread presence into new areas of the island.</p> <p>The Invaders expand across the island map in a semi-predictable fashion. Each turn they explore into some lands (portions of the island); the next turn, they build in those lands, forming settlements and cities. The turn after that, they ravage there, bringing blight to the land and attacking any native islanders present.</p> <p>The islanders fight back against the Invaders when attacked, and lend the spirits some other aid, but may not always do so exactly as you'd hoped. Some Powers work through the islanders, helping them (eg) drive out the Invaders or clean the land of blight.</p> <p>The game escalates as it progresses: spirits spread their presence to new parts of the island and seek out new and more potent powers, while the Invaders step up their colonization efforts. Each turn represents 1-3 years of alternate-history.</p> <p>At game start, winning requires destroying every last settlement and city on the board - but as you frighten the Invaders more and more, victory becomes easier: they'll run away even if some number of settlements or cities remain. Defeat comes if any spirit is destroyed, if the island is overrun by blight, or if the Invader deck is depleted before achieving victory.</p> <p>The game includes different adversaries to fight against?<em>(eg: a Swedish Mining Colony, or a Remote British Colony)</em>. Each changes play in different ways, and offers a different path of difficulty boosts to keep the game challenging as you gain skill.</p> | |

Adds tactical complexity to the game and game length.</p> <p>The game changes the base game in three main ways:</p> <p>First, there are 3 new commodities in the game, distinct from resources - paper, cloth, and coins, which can be acquired from Forest, Meadow, and Mountain spaces, respectively. Cities that would normally produce two of one of those resources instead produce 1 resource and 1 of the corresponding commodity. (To make commodities easier to obtain, each player starts the game with 1 city and 1 settlement on the board.) These commodities allow players to build city improvements that confer various advantages and eventually points.</p> <p>Second, the deck of development cards is replaced by three different decks, each corresponding to one of the commodities. Building city improvements gives players a chance to draw these cards with every roll of the dice. Building more improvements will increase these chances, but cards cannot be bought directly in any way. These cards are similar to the development cards in the base game, but with a wider range of effects. (Some cards are balanced better as well - the new Resource Monopoly card, for example, can take no more than 2 of the named resource from any one player.)</p> <p>Finally, players can also build knights on the island along their network of roads. These knights can be used to claim certain intersections and move the Robber (taking the place of Soldier cards), but are also used to defend the island from periodic barbarian attacks. If the island is successfully defended, the player(s) with the most knights are rewarded. If not, the player(s) with the fewest knights each have a city downgraded to a settlement.</p> </div> </article> </div> | |

After completing the Palaces of Evora and Sintra, the king sought to build a summer pavilion to honor the most famous members of the royal family. This construction was intended for the most talented artisans ? whose skills meet the splendor that the royal family deserves. Sadly, King Manuel I died before construction ever began.</p> <p>In <em><strong>Azul: Summer Pavilion</strong></em>, players return to Portugal to accomplish the task that never began. As a master artisan, you must use the finest materials to create the summer pavilion while carefully avoiding wasting supplies. Only the best will rise to the challenge to honor the Portuguese royal family.</p> <p><em>Azul: Summer Pavilion</em> lasts six rounds, and in each round players draft tiles, then place them on their individual player board to score points. Each of the six colors of tiles is wild during one of the rounds.</p> <p>At the start of each round, draw tiles at random from the bag to refill each of the five, seven, or nine factories with four tiles each. Draw tiles as needed to refill the ten supply spaces on the central scoring board. Players then take turns drafting tiles. You can choose to take all of the tiles of a non-wild color on a factory and place them next to your board; if any wild tiles are on this factory, you must take one of them. Place all remaining tiles in the center of the table. Alternatively, you can take all tiles of a non-wild color from the center of play; you must also take one wild tile, if present.</p> <p>After all tiles have been claimed, players then take turns placing tiles on their individual boards. Each board depicts seven stars that would be composed of six tiles; each space on a star shows a number from 1-6, and six of the stars are for tiles of a single color while the seventh will be composed of one tile of each color. To place a tile on the blue 5, for example, you must discard five blue or wild tiles from next to your player board (with at least one blue being required), placing one blue tile in the blue 5 space and the rest in the discard tower. You score 1 point for this tile and 1 point for each tile within this star connected to the newly placed tile.</p> <p>If you completely surround a pillar, statue, or window on your game board with tiles, you get an immediate bonus, taking 1-3 tiles from the central supply spaces and placing them next to your board. At the end of the round, you can carry over at most four tiles to the next round; discard any others, losing 1 point for each such tile.</p> <p>After six rounds, you score a bonus for each of the seven stars that you've filled completely. Additionally, you score a bonus for having covered all seven spaces of value 1, 2, 3 or 4. You lose 1 point for each remaining tile unused, then whoever has the most points wins.</p> | |

Klaus Teuber?s simple yet engaging 1995 design blazed a new trail for modern board games to follow. The 5-6 player expansion lets you enjoy it with even more people.</p> <p>Catan is a brilliant game to play with all kinds of people, but the base box limits you to three or four players. While the experience at either of these counts is fantastic, many people find themselves wishing that they could bring the game to the table with a larger group. With the expansion, that?s exactly what you can do.</p> <p>So how does the 5 to 6 player expansion work? The box provides you with 11 more terrain hexes that will allow you to construct a much larger playing surface. Additional sea pieces help you to frame the new shape. On this larger board, the game plays almost identically to regular Catan.</p> <p>The only further difference is that all players can build at the end of?<i>every?</i>turn, so you don?t have to nervously glance at the robber as your hand fills up with resources on five other players? turns. This clever twist also keeps the game moving, helping to make it as fast, if not faster, than with three or four players.</p> <p><b>Catan 5-6 player expansion contents:</b></p> <ul> <li>11 terrain hexes.</li> <li>4 sea pieces (2 with harbours; 2 without).</li> <li>2 harbour tiles.</li> <li>2 full sets of player pieces.</li> <li>25 resource cards (5 of each type).</li> <li>9 development cards.</li> <li>2 blank cards and 1 blank hex.</li> <li>28 numbered tokens.</li> </ul> <p>The Catan 5-6 player expansion also makes it possible to play with 5-6 player extensions for some of the base game?s expansions. You can buy player extensions of Seafarers and Cities & Knights if you want to use this product to help bring those expansions to larger groups.</p> | |

On a turn, you either draw two transportation cards from the deck or the display of five face-up cards (or you take one face-up bus, which counts as all six colours in the game); or you claim a route on the board by discarding cards that match the colour of the route being claimed (with any set of cards allowing you to claim a gray route); or you draw two destination tickets and keep at least one of them.</p> <p>Players take turns until someone has no more than two buses in their supply, then each player takes one final turn, including the player who triggered the end of the game. Players then sum their points, scoring points for (1) the routes that they've claimed during the game, (2) the destination tickets that they've completed (by connecting the two locations on a ticket by a continuous line of their buses), and (3) the districts that they've connected. (A district consists of 2-4 locations, and you score 1-5 points for a district if you link all of its locations to one another with your buses.) You lose points for any uncompleted destination tickets, then whoever has the high score wins!</p> | |

This is the one key rule in Carcassonne. Roads must continue roads, castles must continue castles; you cannot cut off a feature. Then comes the key decision, do you place a meeple on one of the available features on that tile, that feature being anything from a road to a monastery? Or do you keep hold of your meeples and await another placement opportunity that may yield more points?</p> <p>This dilemma is had by all who play Carcassonne and it is what makes this game so fiendishly fun. While the artwork and the general theme may be quaint and friendly, it is you, the player, who can turn that image around and become rather militant in your tile placing antics!</p> <p>You may see that a player is about to complete a castle feature and score a respectable eight points. However, you see an opportunity to steal said feature and end up placing tiles away from the feature, joining it up and stealing it from right under their noses, as you will have placed more meeples on that feature than them! This is just one of the many strategies one can employ while playing Carcassonne and it is something that sets this game apart.</p> <p>With its simple yet rich game mechanics and eighty-four tiles that can be configured into numerous combinations, Carcassonne appeals to beginners and veteran gamers alike. This edition is entirely redesigned and modernised and includes two expansions:?<em>The River</em>?and?<em>The Abbot</em>. This easy-to-play, fast-paced, family-friendly game encompasses everything good about board gaming and will give you an experience you will cherish for many games to come!</p> | |

On each turn dice are rolled to determine what resources the island produces. Players build by spending resources (sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore) that are depicted by these resource cards; each land type, with the exception of the unproductive desert, produces a specific resource: hills produce brick, forests produce wood, mountains produce ore, fields produce wheat, and pastures produce sheep. Setup includes randomly placing large hexagonal tiles (each showing a resource or the desert) in a honeycomb shape and surrounding them with water tiles, some of which contain ports of exchange. Number disks, which will correspond to die rolls (two 6-sided dice are used), are placed on each resource tile. Each player is given two settlements (think: houses) and roads (sticks) which are, in turn, placed on intersections and borders of the resource tiles. Players collect a hand of resource cards based on which hex tiles their last-placed house is adjacent to. A robber pawn is placed on the desert tile. A turn consists of possibly playing a development card, rolling the dice, everyone (perhaps) collecting resource cards based on the roll and position of houses (or upgraded cities?think: hotels) unless a 7 is rolled, turning in resource cards (if possible and desired) for improvements, trading cards at a port, and trading resource cards with other players. If a 7 is rolled, the active player moves the robber to a new hex tile and steals resource cards from other players who have built structures adjacent to that tile. Points are accumulated by building settlements and cities, having the longest road and the largest army (from some of the development cards), and gathering certain development cards that simply award victory points. When a player has gathered 10 points (some of which may be held in secret), he announces his total and claims the win. <em>CATAN </em>has won multiple awards and is one of the most popular games in recent history due to its amazing ability to appeal to experienced gamers as well as those new to the hobby. | |

Block someone from stealing coins from you.</li> </ul> On your turn, you can take any of the actions listed above, regardless of which characters you actually have in front of you, or you can take one of three other actions: <ul> <li><strong>Income:</strong>?Take one coin from the treasury.</li> <li><strong>Foreign aid:</strong>?Take two coins from the treasury.</li> <li><strong>Coup:</strong>?Pay seven coins and launch a coup against an opponent, forcing that player to lose an influence. (If you have ten coins or more, you must take this action.)</li> </ul> When you take one of the character actions ? whether actively on your turn, or defensively in response to someone else's action ? that character's action automatically succeeds?<em>unless</em>?an opponent challenges you. In this case, if you can't (or don't) reveal the appropriate character, you lose an influence, turning one of your characters face-up. Face-up characters cannot be used, and if both of your characters are face-up, you're out of the game. If you do have the character in question and choose to reveal it, the opponent loses an influence, then you shuffle that character into the deck and draw a new one, perhaps getting the same character again and perhaps not. The last player to still have influence ? that is, a face-down character ? wins the game! | |
 | Azul | All Board Games, Family & Children, Strategy Games | Original price was: £42.99.£35.99Current price is: £35.99. | | Artfully embellish the walls of your palace by drafting the most beautiful tiles. | In Stock | Drafting, Portugal, Set Collection, Tile Placement | Introduced by the Moors, azulejos (originally white and blue ceramic tiles) were fully embraced by the Portuguese when their king Manuel I, on a visit to the Alhambra palace in Southern Spain, was mesmerized by the stunning beauty of the Moorish decorative tiles. The king, awestruck by the interior beauty of the Alhambra, immediately ordered that his own palace in Portugal be decorated with similar wall tiles. As a tile-laying artist, you have been challenged to embellish the walls of the Royal Palace of Evora. In the game Azul, players take turns drafting colored tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round, players score points based on how they've placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the player's score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. | |
 | Moongha Invaders! Mad Scientists and Atomic Monsters Attack the Earth (2013) | All Board Games, Strategy Games | Original price was: £35.00.£25.00Current price is: £25.00. | Out of stock | <p>Wreak havoc with your monsters while helping people hold back competing monsters.</p> | Out of Stock | <p><strong>PRE-OWNED GAME</strong></p> <blockquote><p>There are certain games that develop a reputation for greatness and if those games are rare or difficult to obtain, that reputation can develop into legend.</p> <p>Take for example,?<strong>Moongha Invaders</strong>?by Martin Wallace. Back in 2010 he was commissioned to design a game for an Italian game convention called Play using the monster figures they were using to promote the show. One would expect that such a rushed, design on demand, product would be only so-so at best and with only 650 copies in existence, that it would be quickly forgotten. This was not to be. The game was good. Very good. People began to talk about it. Others began to talk about what the others had said. Soon the game had gone from good to great. People without copies felt left out. All this fun was being had with a great game that they could not acquire.? Demand soared but the supply remained finite. And so Moongha Invaders become a member of that exulted class of games called "Grail Games".</p> <p>Moongha is not the Wallace of?<strong>Age of Steam</strong>?but rather the Wallace of?<strong>Struggle of Empires</strong>?and thankfully so. There isn't a lot of heavy math in Moongha, though there is some, and one early mistake will not leave you languishing for hours. There isn't a lot of subtle smirk-inducing move optimization but there is a lot of direct and up-front screwage.</p> <p>In the game, you are a mad scientist intent upon razing the great cities of Earth. To do this, you are creating horrible monsters in your lab and then unleashing them upon the world. The monsters move from city to city fighting the armies of men, other monsters and raining destruction down upon the cities as well.</p> <p>There is a pool of action tokens of different colors that varies in number each game round. You take your turn by taking an? token and performing the action associated with it (moving, attacking, placing an army, growing a monster) or in most cases you can save them up so when you have multiple tokens your action becomes more powerful (more dice in combat, creating a stronger monster).? When you attack a city you put down some damage cubes to show how much of that city was destroyed by your creatures.</p> <p>The end game is scored by who has the most cubes in any given city, so in a sense it is an area control game but with lots of conflict and dice. You also can get points by killing other monsters or seeding cities with vampires. You are also assigned two cities at the beginning of the game which are kept secret from the other players. If you manage to protect them so that they suffer minimal damage you get bonus points.</p> <p>The game IS good. It's fun, quick, and easy to learn. It has sufficient depth and several viable strategies for victory. The production quality is fine for what it is...a quick game made as a prize for a convention...but is nothing to wet your pants over.</p></blockquote> <p>(From a <a href="https://therewillbe.games/">therewillbe.games </a>review.)</p> <p>This is the 2013 re-print of Moongha, and as such - not as valuable. But it captures the magic of an enigma which is well-worth playing. Unfortunately, the promotional poster which came with it has been lost but if it's found, it'll be included.</p> | ||

Titan Race is a pretty simple game that has a few things that make it unique. The first is that as well as it being a race game, where the winning goal is to loop the board three times, it is also a combat game where you are trying to knock other players out for a round so that you can get further ahead. You have certain spots you can land to get ability cards that you can then use that might heal your damage, or damage your opponent. Plus, if you run into an opponent, you do push them and that deals them a damage as well. Each rider has their own ability which will make a difference in how well they can attack or move.</blockquote> | ||

Teams take turns rotating a dial to where they think a hidden bullseye is located on a spectrum. One of the players on your team ? the Psychic ? knows exactly where the bullseye is, and draws a card with a pair of binaries on it (such as: Job - Career, Rough - Smooth, Fantasy - Sci-Fi, Sad Song - Happy Song, etc). The Psychic must then provide a clue that is *conceptually* where the bullseye is located between those two binaries. For example, if the card this round is HOT-COLD and the bullseye is slightly to the "cold" side of the centre, the Psychic needs to give a clue somewhere in that region. Perhaps "salad"? After the Psychic gives their clue, their team discusses where they think the bullseye is located and turns the dial to that location on that spectrum. The closer to the centre of the bullseye the team guess, the more points they score! | |

Players collect cards of various types of train cars they then use to claim railway routes in North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination Tickets ? goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds the longest continuous route. "The rules are simple enough to write on a train ticket ? each turn you either draw more cards, claim a route, or get additional Destination Tickets," says Ticket to Ride author, Alan R. Moon. "The tension comes from being forced to balance greed ? adding more cards to your hand, and fear ? losing a critical route to a competitor." Ticket to Ride continues in the tradition of Days of Wonder's big format board games featuring high-quality illustrations and components including: an oversize board map of North America, 225 custom-molded train cars, 144 illustrated cards, and wooden scoring markers. Since its introduction and numerous subsequent awards, Ticket to Ride has become the BoardGameGeek epitome of a "gateway game" -- simple enough to be taught in a few minutes, and with enough action and tension to keep new players involved and in the game for the duration.</p> | |

 | Scythe | All Board Games, Strategy Games | Original price was: £80.00.£65.99Current price is: £65.99. | | <p>Five factions vie for dominance in a war-torn, mech-filled, steampunk 1920s Europe.?</p> | In Stock | Economic, Fighting, Kickstarter, Scythe, Steampunk, Strategy, Territory | <p>It is a time of unrest in 1920s Europa. The ashes from the first great war still darken the snow. The capitalistic city-state known simply as ?The Factory?, which fueled the war with heavily armored mechs, has closed its doors, drawing the attention of several nearby countries.</p> <p>Scythe is an engine-building game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor. In Scythe, each player represents a character from one of five factions of Eastern Europe who are attempting to earn their fortune and claim their faction's stake in the land around the mysterious Factory. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous mechs.</p> <p>Each player begins the game with different resources (power, coins, combat acumen, and popularity), a different starting location, and a hidden goal. Starting positions are specially calibrated to contribute to each faction?s uniqueness and the asymmetrical nature of the game (each faction always starts in the same place).</p> <p>Scythe gives players almost complete control over their fate. Other than each player?s individual hidden objective card, the only elements of luck or variability are ?encounter? cards that players will draw as they interact with the citizens of newly explored lands. Each encounter card provides the player with several options, allowing them to mitigate the luck of the draw through their selection. Combat is also driven by choices, not luck or randomness.</p> <p>Scythe uses a streamlined action-selection mechanism (no rounds or phases) to keep gameplay moving at a brisk pace and reduce downtime between turns. While there is plenty of direct conflict for players who seek it, there is no player elimination.</p> <p>Every part of Scythe has an aspect of engine-building to it. Players can upgrade actions to become more efficient, build structures that improve their position on the map, enlist new recruits to enhance character abilities, activate mechs to deter opponents from invading, and expand their borders to reap greater types and quantities of resources. These engine-building aspects create a sense of momentum and progress throughout the game. The order in which players improve their engine adds to the unique feel of each game, even when playing one faction multiple times.</p> | |

A deck of cards provides the players with these abilities, but sprinkled throughout this deck are Epidemic! cards that accelerate and intensify the diseases' activity. A second, separate deck of cards controls the "normal" spread of the infections.</p> <p>Taking a unique role within the team, players must plan their strategy to mesh with their specialists' strengths in order to conquer the diseases. For example, the Operations Expert can build research stations which are needed to find cures for the diseases and which allow for greater mobility between cities; the Scientist needs only four cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal five?but the diseases are spreading quickly and time is running out. If one or more diseases spreads beyond recovery or if too much time elapses, the players all lose. If they cure the four diseases, they all win!</p> <p>The 2013 edition of Pandemic includes two new characters?the Contingency Planner and the Quarantine Specialist?not available in earlier editions of the game.</p> <p>Pandemic is the first game in the Pandemic series.</p> | |
