Any time you are entitled to go up a level – or when you do something that WOULD earn you a level if you weren't already Level 9 – you may, instead, place a munchkin pawn in front of you. In any combat, you may discard it for a 1d6 bonus. You may only have one in front of you at a time. Unless, of course, you "lose" these rules and tell the other players that you're allowed to have more. Six is a good number.

The year is 1812. Great Britain and her allies are battling Napoleon for control of Europe. In response to British seizure of American ships and goods, the young United States declares war on Britain and invades Canada. You and up to 4 other players take command of the armies of the British Redcoats, Canadian Militia, and Native Americans, or of the American Regulars and American Militia to decide the fate of the Americas. The action takes place on a huge historically accurate map that spans the United States and Canada from Detroit to Montreal. Players from each faction cooperate to gain control of key towns and forts.

1812 features fast, intuitive and fun gameplay that involves teamwork and strategic planning in a historic and educational setting. This is THE GAME for people who want an enjoyable and manageable introduction to historic/conflict based games.

In 1812 - The Invasion of Canada, players take on one of the roles of the major factions that took part in the War of 1812. On the British side these are represented by the British Regulars (Redcoats), Canadian Militia and Native Americans; and the American Regular Army and American Militia comprise the American players. Players for each side will cooperate with each other in order to plan and conduct their campaigns. Each side will attempt to capture Objective Areas on the map. When a truce is called, the side that controls the most enemy Objective Areas wins.

All elections are turning points, but the presidential election of 1960 holds a special place in American history. The 1950s had been a period of unparalleled economic growth and US global power. Richard Nixon served as President Eisenhower's Vice President through most of the period. Nixon's humble origins gave him a common touch that appealed to the small town, idyllic America encompassed by the spirit of the 1950s. John F. Kennedy, was Nixon's mirror image: charming, Harvard educated and the scion of an American political dynasty. Kennedy challenged Americans to confront the uncertainties and tumult that were already emerging in 1960. He set his vision not in the past, but on new frontiers.
 In 1960: The Making of the President, you take on the role of one of these great protagonists vying to lead America through an era of turbulent change. The candidates must contend with all the great issues of the day, from the Cold War to civil rights to voters' pocket books. This is an election that will turn on positioning and momentum. The contest is fought on an electoral map of the United States as it stood in 1960. Using a card-driven game system, all the major events which shaped the campaign are represented: Nixon's lazy shave, President Eisenhower's late endorsement, and the 'Catholic question' are all specific event cards. The famous televised debates are also an important component of gameplay.
As with a real election campaign, the challenge is to adapt your game plan as the ground shifts out from under you. There are never enough resources or time to do everything, but you need to make the tough calls to propel yourself into the White House. This fast-playing strategy game for two players challenges you to relive the most significant political contest of the Twentieth Century. Will you recreate history, or rewrite it? 1960: The Making of the President provides you the opportunity to do both.

The game pits two football teams in a classic gridiron match. Playable by 2-4 players, ‘coaches’ call plays using the cards available in their hands. Yardage gained or lost is determined by the roll of the dice. Strategic play calling makes all the difference... The right offensive play might get a lot of yardage... unless the defense sets up correctly to stop it.

Fumbles, interceptions, sacks, penalties, deep passes, breakaway runs... it’s all in here!

A history-based game: Dos de Mayo is based on the
terrible events that took place in Madrid on May 2nd
1808.
On that date, fed up with the abuse by French
soldiers and sick of the indolence of Spanish
authorities, many of whom acted in collusion with the
occupying French troops,
the people of the city rose
up
in arms against the best army of the time, in a
desperate attempt to regain their pride through
rebellion against the Napoleonic invader.

2-Player game: Dos de Mayo is a board game for two
players, lasting around 20-30 minutes (even less for
experienced players), in which each player controls the
forces of one side, either Spanish or French.

Lead one of the seven great cities of the Ancient world.

Exploit the natural resources of your lands, take part in the eternal march of progress,
develop your commercial relationships and assert your military might.

Leave your mark in the history of civilization by building an architectural marvel that will transcend the ages to come.

7 Wonders is a strategy game for 2 to 7 players.

Contents:

- 7 Wonder boards

- 7 Wonder cards

- 49 Age I cards

- 49 Age II cards

- 50 Age III cards

- 42 Conflict tokens

- 20 value 3 coins

- 30 value 1 coins

- 1 score booklet

- 1 rulebook

- 2 "2 player" cards

7 Wonders: Leaders will add 40 new cards to the base game of 7 Wonders, comprising four new guilds and 36 new, white "Leader" cards. At the start of the game, each player takes a hand of four leaders and may play one at the start of each of the three Ages. Unlike the standard cards, leaders cost money (not resources). The expansion will also come with a new Wonder - the ancient city of Rome - and reportedly contain some 6-gold tokens for more efficient money-management.

A Few Acres of Snow covers the long struggle between Britain and France for control of what eventually became Canada. The version on offer is the standard edition, the limited edition is now unavailable.

The game involves a deck-building mechanism which may be familiar to those people who have played another certain award winning card game. Each player starts with a small set of cards. Cards come in two general types, location cards and empire cards. You can add an empire card to your discard pile simply by taking one as an action. Adding a location card is a little more involved. Each location card has a list of locations that it connects to and the transport type required to move to each of those locations. To take control of a neutral location you would have to play a location card with that neutral location on it, then a card that has the correct transport symbol, and then possibly a card with a settler symbol on it if required. You then place a cube in the location and add the location card to your discard pile.

Players take it in turns to perform two actions. There are a range of actions available, such as settling new locations, besieging locations, trading fur, launching Indian raids, and building fortifications. There are also cards that allow you to perform actions to manage your deck, such as getting rid of useless cards and drawing additional cards from your pile. You can also place cards in reserve so that you can use them at a later point in time.

The game ends if a player manages to capture his opponent’s capital city or he has managed to place all of his village or town pieces on the board. In the latter case points are calculated to see who wins.

King Robert Baratheon is dead, and the lands of Westeros brace for battle.

In the second edition of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, three to six players take on the roles of the great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, as they vie for control of the Iron Throne through the use of diplomacy and warfare. Based on the best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones is an epic board game in which it will take more than military might to win. Will you take power through force, use honeyed words to coerce your way onto the throne, or rally the townsfolk to your side? Through strategic planning, masterful diplomacy, and clever card play, spread your influence over Westeros!

To begin the game, each player receives an army of Footman, Knight, Siege Engine, and Ship units, as well as a set of Order tokens and other necessary components. Each player also receives a deck of unique House Cards, which are used as leaders in battles against rival Houses.

Each round in the game is made up of three phases: the Westeros Phase, the Planning Phase, and the Action Phase. The Westeros Phase represents special events and day-to-day activities in Westeros. There are three different Westeros Decks, and each denotes a different global action, potentially affecting all players.

The Planning Phase is perhaps the most important. Here you secretly assign orders to all of your units by placing one order token face down on each area you control that contains at least one unit (Knight, Footman, Ship, or Siege Engine). This portion of the game emphasizes diplomacy and deduction. Can you trust the alliance that you made? Will you betray your ally and march upon him? Players may make promises to each other (for aid or peace, for example), but these promises are never binding. The result is tense and compelling negotiations, often ending in backstabbing worthy of Westeros!

During the Action Phase, the orders are resolved and battle is entered! When armies meet in combat, they secretly choose one of their House cards to add strength to the battle. Finally, the Houses can consolidate their power in the areas they control and use that power in future turns to influence the the their position in the court of the Iron Throne and to stand against the wildling Hordes.

In addition to featuring updated graphics and a clarified ruleset, this second edition of A Game of Thrones includes elements from the A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords expansions, including ports, garrisons, Wildling cards, and Siege engines, while introducing welcome new innovations like player screens and Tides of Battle cards.

Tides of Battle cards are an optional mechanism that brings an element of unpredictability to combat, representing erratic shifts in the momentum of war due to factors such as weather, morale, and tactical opportunity. During each combat, both players draw one Tides of Battle card from a communal deck, and its value modifies the strength of his chosen House card. What's more, such a card may also contain icons that can affect the outcome of the battle...all of which delivers a new level of intensity to your military engagements.

From Fantasy Flight Games:
We have developed an expansion to the AGoT LCG Core Set, and we’re calling it the: Kings of the Sea. Kings of the Sea was developed with three major goals in mind:

The first of these goals was to bring House Greyjoy back into the LCG environment. From this perspective, the expansion consists of a Greyjoy deck that is similar to the out-of-the-box decks that you’ll find in the AGoT Core set. With a mixture of both new cards and old school Greyjoy reprints (some modified and updated for the LCG environment), House Greyjoy can once again stand proudly alongside (or, if you prefer, against) Houses Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, and Targaryen in the LCG environment.

Secondly, I insisted on using the design of the Kings of the Sea expansion as an opportunity to address some of the context and synergy concerns noted earlier. In this product, you’ll find numerous King and Queen characters, some new Kingdom locations, and a spattering of Military Battle, Intrigue Gambit, and Power Struggle plot cards. Additional use for crested characters is also prevalent (particularly Holy and War), and a major black hole in the AGoT LCG metagame, a realistic check on powerful locations, has been confronted.

Third (and not unrelated to the context and synergy discussion), we wanted this expansion to have something for everyone, even if they’re not at all interested in House Greyjoy. Thus, each House gets at least 1 King or Queen, and the plot deck (with the exception of an important House Greyjoy only plot reprint) along with many of the neutral cards were selected as cards that could potentially be useful building blocks in the widest possible array of decks. So even a die-hard Lannister player (there aren’t really any of those out there, are there?) should be able to find something of use in this set.

A storm is coming, raging under the banner of House Baratheon. From the Iron Throne at King's Landing to their ancestral home of Storm's End, the lords of House Baratheon bring power awesome enough to rein in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros under one rule, but as civil war threatens to tear the land apart, even brothers bound by blood will be drawn against each other into the conflict...

Kings of the Storm is the fourth large expansion for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, featuring 165 cards new to the LCG card pool - three copies each of 55 unique cards - that add new deckbuilding opportunities and strategic depth to your game.

The cards included in Kings of the Storm deepen the existing strengths of House Baratheon, as well as adding some new tricks to the House of the stag. At the core of Kings of the Storm are the lord brothers of House Baratheon: Robert, Stannis, and Renly. Each brother claims the Iron Throne for himself and their abilities based on being the only king in play represent in game terms their strained relationships with each other. Any one of the brothers can form the hard core at the center of a strong deck through exemplifying one of the strengths native to House Baratheon.

From their seat of power at Casterly Rock, a seat nearly as powerful as the Iron Throne itself in wealth and influence, the rich and powerful lords of House Lannister are raising the banners of war. Beneath the golden lion on a crimson field as red as spilt blood ruthless lords, devious ladies, cunning knights, and vast armies are forming to proclaim to Westeros the words of House Lannister: "Hear Me Roar!"

Lions of the Rock is the sixth Deluxe Expansion for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, featuring 165 cards new to the LCG card pool – three copies each of 55 unique cards – that add deck-building opportunities and strategic depth to your game.

The cards included in Lions of the Rock deepen the existing strengths of House Lannister, as well as adding some new avenues of strategy to explore. Forming the core of Lions of the Rock are the formidable members of the Lannister family: the ruthless patriarch Tywin, the treacherous queen Cersei, the Kingslayer Jaime, and the beguiling Tyrion. Each wields power as naturally as dragons breathe fire, backed by the limitless wealth of Casterly Rock and the unbreakable will of House Lannister's honor and willingness to repay any debt in blood. As anyone in Westeros will tell you – a Lannister always pays his debts...

In-game, each Lannister represents a different approach to victory, around which entire decks could be built, from Tyrion's synergy with the Clansman trait, to Tywin's breathtaking seizure of power based on having lots of gold in play during Dominance, to Cersei's ability to claim power whenever you win intrigue challenges (playing very well into the new The Power Behind the Throne agenda). Working separately, the Lannisters are merely powerful. Working together, the might of the Lannisters can become unstoppable.

Prepare for a long winter. Lords of Winter, the latest deluxe expansion for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, will take the cold honor of House Stark to new heights this spring!

The Lords of Winter expansion contains 165 cards (3 copies each of 55 cards), including Eddard and Catelyn Stark, Winterfell, and “The King of the North,” Robb Stark. Players of other houses will also find a wealth of new strategies, tactics, and deck-building options.

Finally, as an introduction to the art of customizing a deck, Lords of Winter offers deck lists for two exciting theme decks, one featuring the Tullys of Riverrun, and the other featuring the Direwolves of the North.

The Princes of the Sun reprint for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, marked with "Revised Edition" on the front of the box, now includes three copies of each of the 60 unique cards included in the original printing. Featuring the defiant and treacherous vengeance-seekers of the Dornish sands, Princes of the Sun offers players a full play set with which to immediately begin competitive House Martell deck-building. Also included is an intriguing "Civil War" game variant that lets players compete for the limited resources of a single deck.

House Martell excels at icon manipulation, the production of influence, and in vengeance: to do well against this House is asking for punishment. Princes of the Sun showcases House Martell's counterintuitive win strategy, "winning through losing". That is, this strategy comprises of letting your opponents win certain challenges in order for you to win others or take some other benefit. Get ready to have a bloodthirsty response to House Martell's slights with Princes of the Sun!

Princes of the Sun contains 120 cards for use with A Game of Thrones: The Card Game and is an essential foundation for anyone looking to play House Martell in the LCG environment. Infamous Martell characters like Prince Doran and Princess Arianne Martell, Areo Hotah, Ser Arys Oakheart, Darkstar, the Daynes of Sunspear, and the Red Viper himself are featured, along with the staple building block cards necessary to make the Martells a competitive option.

The rightful heir to the Iron Throne lives, and within her veins flows the blood of the dragon. The Queen of Dragons expansion to A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, showcases House Targaryen, and allows them to fly to new heights. This set contains 165 cards (three copies each of 55 different cards), including Daenerys Targaryen, Khal Drogo, and the dragons Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. Along with a wealth of new strategies, tactics, and deckbuilding options, are essential cards for two exciting theme decks, “Fire and Blood” and “Hosts of the True-Queen.”

A Game of Thrones LCG: Core Set

"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground."

-Cersei Lannister

Across the Seven Kingdoms, the Great Houses of Westeros struggle to control the Iron Throne. The battle begins here in the A Game of Thrones Core Game.

The beloved heroes, villains, locations, and events of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga come to life in this customizable card game. Players take control of the Starks, Baratheons, Lannisters, or Targaryens and attempt to plot, fight, conspire, manipulate, and bribe their way to victory.

The A Game of Thrones card game can be played in a multiplayer "melee" format with 3-4 players, or in a one-on-one "joust" format with 2 players. But whichever format you choose, the game has only just begun! In the world of the Living Card Game™, hundreds of additional cards are available separately, allowing players to customize the four houses included here, or create entirely original decks.

Welcome to A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, where you'll experience George R.R. Martin's Westeros like never before!

In one of his sillier games, Karl-Heinz Schmiel casts the players as semi-psychotic cooks attempting to hone their culinary skills. Each player receives a miniature pan and a hotplate. Then each turn you can either attempt to turn up the heat, season your dish, or attempt to steal another cook's recipe in the making. Heating your hotplate is a random affair with a die, and could raise the heat on everyone's plate. Spicing the dish is heart of the game and done by up-ending small bottles filled with little colored wood pellets. When the pellets tumble out of the bottle (sometimes, if they do), the number of pellets can't exceed two, because over-spicing the dish ruins it and you have to throw it in the trash!

This expansion contains 4 mini expansions for A la Carte and the components necessary to add a fifth player.

• Menus

Before the game starts each player receives 3 menus and chooses one. He doesn't let the other players know which menus he/she has. If a player successfully prepares the dishes on the menu, at the end of the game he/she receive extra victory points. Otherwise he/she gets no extra points. For some of the menus the player also needs at least one star.

• New Coffee Cups

Two new coffee cups are added to the game
- Trash can: Instead of choosing a dish from the table, a player can choose a dish from the trash can and place the dish in his/her pan.
- Flavor neutralizer: The player chooses a spice (even salt) from his/her pan and removes it from the game.

• Salt Dishes

There are 5 different salt dishes. The salt dishes are placed along the other dishes. The dishes are cooked as normal, only salt is needed.

Each player strategically invests in businesses, trying to retain a majority of stock. As the businesses grow with tile placements, they also start merging, giving the majority stockholders of the acquired business sizable bonuses, which can then be used to reinvest into other chains. All of the investors in the acquired company can then cash in their stocks for current value or trade them 2-for-1 for shares of the newer, larger business. The game is a race to acquire the greatest wealth.

Thief, barbarian, pirate, king. Robert E. Howard's tales of the exploits and adventures of Conan have inspired generations. 
The Age of Conan strategy board game allows players to each control one of the four major kingdoms of Hyboria. Command armies, wield dark sorcery, or weave cunning intrigue - all are needed in order to conquer your enemies and make your kingdom the most powerful in the world. Yet, even the most powerful of rulers ignores one man at his great peril. Only one kingdom will harness the volatile alliance of the mightiest hero of all - Conan the Cimmerian!


Designed by Glenn Drover, this boardgame version of the PC hit, Age of Empires III from Microsoft and Ensemble Studios, allows you to revisit the age of exploration and discovery. Take on the role of a colonial power seeking fame, glory, and riches in the New World. As you proceed through three ages, you can launch expeditions of discovery, colonize regions, expand your merchant fleet, build capitol buildings that give your nation distinct advantages, develop your economy, and, if necessary, declare war.
Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery features beautiful artwork from the PC game and from renowned artist Paul Niemeyer, but is a typical eurogame. Age of Empires III has hundreds of plastic figures, including ships, doubloons, colonists, merchants, captains, missionaries, and soldiers.

An official expansion to Glenn Drover's Empires: The Age of Discovery, the Builder Expansion contains:

1) A NEW SPECIALIST: THE BUILDER
Abilities:
a) When placed on the colonist dock and sent to the New World it will increase the VP's scored for the region: +4 VP/Builder (of any color) for 1st place; +2 VP/Builder for second place. (The idea is that the colony is much more developed with cities and infrastructure).
b) When placed in the Capital Building track, the player pays $5 less.

The Builder may be acquired via new Capital Buildings or when a player places a colonist on the 5th spot (Builder is Free, other specialists cost 5)

2) 20 NEW CAPITAL BUILDINGS
These include some "buildings" that cost zero, but offer a one-time instant effect such as $7, 2 free specialists, and 2 free trade goods. So even if a player is short on cash, a building action is available.

3) A RULES SHEET with the new Builder Rules, Capital Buildings, and even special rules for a historical start (Each Nation has a special ability and one or two Capital Buildings to start the game). The idea is that the Spanish will feel like the Spanish (Conquistadors, etc.), The English will feel like the English, the Dutch like the Dutch, etc.

4) Pieces for the sixth payer (purple).

Like Brass, the strategic space is vast and player decisions are limited by cards. In Age of Industry, however, cards are color-coded to regions rather than specific cities, allowing the players to be more flexible with their plans, while at the same time, continuing to limit the decisions available. The color-coded region cards will also support expansion maps.

In addition, the original Brass rules were simplified by eliminating the canal period; there is only one period, the railway era. There is also a new, non-specific industry, which will change with each map.

According to Wallace, "You can now play something with the depth of Brass but in half the time. The game will have a double-sided map, with Germany on one side and southern New England on the other."

The first expansion maps for Age of Industry, Japan and Minnesota. Larry Whalen has designed the Japan map, while Kevin Beckey has designed the Minnesota map. Both feature little twists to the original system, making them feel different from the original maps. The expansion is one double-sided board with Japan on one side and Minnesota on the other.

Steam-belching iron horses roar across the wild plains! Age of Steam relives the era when pioneering US railroads built the tracks that transformed America's economy. The cut-throat action is centered on the industrial powerhouses of the growing nation: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and beyond.
Challenges that await you:
Can you finance both the most extensive track network and the most powerful locomotives?
Which routes will give the best returns on their costs?
Can you beat the opposition to the most lucrative shipments?
Will you make enough money to pay your aggressive creditors?
Competition is brutal, with the game usually going to the player who plans most carefully.
Each self-contained phase in the game keeps players constantly involved in making vital decisions and interacting with other players. Age of Steam also allows towns to be developed into cities, ensuring that no two games are exactly the same.

Age of Steam: Moon and Berlin Wall Maps are exciting new expansions for the popular Age of Steam board game series.

The Moon Map is viewed as “spherical” so track can be built off the edges and connect on the opposite side of the board… play is also affected by the Night & Day phases of the moon. Players must build from the central hex (which counts as a city but has no color or goods) or cities linked to it. The Engineer action now enables players to build 3 pieces of track. Another new action, Low Gravitation, allows the use of 1 link belonging to another player during goods and movement phases.

The Berlin Wall Map features a new Engineer action allowing the building of 3 pieces of track or removing one red track marker from the board. Goods may only be delivered from east to west (or vise versa) through holes in the wall by removing the red track markers. Red cubes represent the Soviet Army and Blue cubes the American, British and French forces and movement of these cubes is restricted until the round marker reaches the red player marker that was placed at the start of the game….at this point all restrictions are removed!

• 1 Double-sided Map Board

Age of Steam: Mexico & China is an exciting new expansion for the Age of Steam board game series. These are mounted hardboard maps.

The Mexico Map – originally released by the Steam Brothers as part of AoS: Mexico, Spain/Portugal – features a new special action called Nationalization, which thematically involves player track being nationalized. This new action adds great interaction among the players.

The China Map – originally released by the Steam Brothers as part of AoS: China/South America – features another new special action called Diplomatic Pressure. This new action requires players to pay to connect cities into their network. This, coupled with the tough terrain of China, makes this new Age of Steam expansion an exciting and very challenging map.

Secretly devise the best plan to create a profitable railroad while your competitors do the same, sharing a common pool of actions and stealing goods directly from other players' maps with this compelling expansion from Ted Alspach.

This full color, professionally designed, printed and packaged Age of Steam expansion contains eight maps (two complete "plans") in the Secret Blueprints of Steam series and as a bonus includes full color replacement mats for Income and Goods Growth. The maps are compatible with both Age of Steam and Steam.

Because of the unique nature of these maps, Secret Blueprints plays in less than 1/2 the normal time it takes to play Age of Steam, as builds and deliveries are all done simultaneously. But there is plenty of interactivity between players, with the traditional auctioning for position to choose actions as well as the new Production action, which allows one player to pull cubes (sight unseen) directly from other players' maps.

Age of Steam: Time Traveler is an exciting new expansion for the highly popular Age of Steam board game series.

Imagine creating a railway network that can transport you to 8 different Eras in Time!  For example, profit by moving goods from Ancient Greece to Napoleonic France or from the Stone Age to H.G. Well’s FUTURE…the combinations are mind-boggling!

It is late 19th century America and the first time travel device is developed by Nikola Tesla. The “Tesla Coil” is able to bend time-space but requires great speed to do so. With funding from the B&O railroad, Mr. Tesla outfits several locomotives with the Tesla Coil and employs a crew of top-secret conductors to travel on the tracks of time. The job won’t be easy, but the profits could be great.

Are you ready to travel the Railways through Time?

Game Components:

 8  different time-era map-boards
 Game Rules

This full color, mounted-on-gameboard Age of Steam expansion contains two maps with three different expansions containing unique twists on Age of Steam, including a double-map expansion with comprehensive modifications and the ability to play up to 8 players in a single game. The maps are compatible with both Age of Steam and Steam.

Vermont
Takes place in the rural forests of Vermont, where the rugged terrain and drastic seasonal changes make railroad building very expensive...but also very lucrative. This map features Seasonal Changes: Every other turn (Winter), track is more expensive. On those turns, however, you'll get a bonus income for each delivery you make. It also feature Unused Action Bonus: Any unused actions receive money, which keeps piling up until someone uses that action.

New Hampshire
Right next door to Vermont, this side of the expansion features strict anti-competitive measures that ensure there's no collusion amongst players. This map features Unique Track Builds: Track builds can not be duplicated; once a player has built a section of track between two locations, no one else can build that same connection. It also features No Track Sharing: Players must deliver goods across their own track only.

Central New England
The biggest expansion ever created for Age of Steam, allowing up to eight players simultaneously and using all the rules from Vermont and New Hampshire in addition to a few new rules specifically for this combination map, including Crossing State Lines: where goods must be delivered across state lines and Smuggle: an action which allows players to secretly deliver within the same state.

Since the expansion is a single double-sided board, two copies are needed to play Central New England.

In Agricola (Latin for "farmer"), you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, one for you and one for the spouse, from all the possibilities you'll find on a farm: collecting clay, wood or stone; building fences; and so on. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats?

Agricola is a turn-based game. There are 14 game turns plus 6 harvest phases (after turn 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 14). Each player starts with two playing tokens (farmer and wife) and thus can take two actions per turn. There are multiple options, and while the game progresses, you'll have more and more: first thing in a turn, a new action card is flipped over.
Problem: Each action can be taken just once per turn, so it's important to do some things with high preference. Each player also starts with a hand of 7 Occupation cards (of more than 160 total) and 7 Minor Improvement cards (of more than 140 total) that he may use during the game if they fit in his/her strategy. This amounts to countless strategies, some depending on your card hand. Sometimes it's a good choice to stay on course, sometimes you better react on what your opponents do.
Agricola can also be played without cards (family game) and can even be played solo.

What is this item all about? Do your kids like to watch you play board games? Do they constantly play around with your wooden game parts or other tokens? Well this can solve the problem, put a few of these off to the side when setting up any game as they are game-token sized and of high quality wood. Put a couple at random out on the board for no apparent reason and then when your kids try to play with your tokens or other actual important items, hand them a few of these to play with! Problem solved, they can do all kinds of cool stuff with them and it will save your game!

These can also be used to replace other parts for other games if you so choose, have fun by trading out your Carcassonne meeples for sheep, pigs and cattle, or use them to replace the components in El Grande, Powergrid, Agricola, Clue or many other games. Yes Clue. It was Mrs. Sheep in the ballroom with the lead pipe. Many of the preorders have mentioned they plan to use the sheep in place of Coal on Powergrid. Yes burn sheep to fuel your factories! We don't care what you do with them, just enjoy them.

5 Sets of 5 wooden farmers families, they will be 5 different colors: Purple, Red, Blue, Green, Natural. The farmers will be wooden tokens that are the shape of a farmer man, a farmer woman, and 3 farmer kids. The kids will be smaller and the woman will be slightly smaller than the man. These farmers are sized to basically be the "bosses" of our first wooden farm animal set! They will be really cute!

Deluxe Euro Token Set (Veggiemeeples and other tokens) including:

1. 33 Wood-shaped dark-brown pieces. These wood tokens will be of simple design but still look like a piece of dark brown wood or a branch from a tree (stick).

2. 27 dark red pieces. These will be a brick and basically a “brick” shape. It will work as a brick in most games, or could also be considered a clay.

3. 15 light white counters. These generic white food or cat-tail markers will be great for general token replacement. They will be fatter on the bottom and skinnier on the top than the grain tokens but of a similiar look.

4. 20 grey stone counters. They will have a granite/ dark gray color to them.

5. 27 yellow wheat counters. These will be yellow like bundles and stand up by themselves.

6. 18 orange carrots or food counters. These will look like carrots, orange and just carrot shaped.

7. 36 additional food markers. These will be in 3 varieties, a simple bread, 12 of these. Also 12 Fish tokens (wooden, fish shaped), and 12 chicken leg / drum stick shaped pieces of meat.

8. 20 Gold markers. These trapazoid shaped gold markers are great for all those euro games that require gold of any sort. These will look like a real gold brick in terms of shape and not a lame yellow cube like most games have in them.

The total number of pieces then is 33 wood, 27 bricks, 15 white tokens, 20 stone, 27 wheat, 12 gold, 18 carrots and 36 additional food (12 each of bread, fish and drum-sticks/chicken leg). Total of 196 pieces all together.

Not only do you have to feed your family, now you have to heat your home.

The Agricola: Gamers' Deck is a medium-sized expansion that includes 120 new minor improvement and occupation cards. The deck is playable alone but it is best when mixed with EIK. The cards were developed to fill in gaps in game play that had developed since Agricola first released.

It was designed for use only with the base game. It has enough cards to play with 5 players.

The artwork on the cards is entirely 100% drawn by the original Agricola/Le Havre artist.

Over the past years, many small expansions for Agricola were released, mostly in German language. Lookout Games, the publisher, also introduced deluxe wooden pieces to complement the game. The Goodies Expansion contains:

Agricola X-Deck -- 24 cards with alien encounters all over the farm. Every time a player visits a stone quarry, a card is drawn from the pile. And then? Resistance is futile!
Agricola Ö-Deck -- 12 new Occupations and 12 new Minor Improvements including a wunderkind, the guy with the couch, the singing family from the Alps, and of course that one specific Governor.
Agricola CZ-Deck -- 12 Occupations and 12 Improvements. Based on famous people, places, and historic events from the Czech Republic. Illustrated in the spirit of the artist Josef Lada, this expansion was initiated by the Czech Publisher of Agricola-Mindok.
Agricola L-Deck -- Nobody knows exactly what the L stands for. Some tend to believe Lookout, others insist on Looneys. Decide for yourself; but don't take it too serious.
5 double-sided theme boards -- Western, Spring, Autumn, Winter, and Mars.
Sticker Sheet (70 stickers) -- 35 adults, 33 children, 1 alien, and 1 werewolf.
Wooden Meeples -- Veggiemeeples, Animeeples, and Resourceeples.

Each player tries to be Caesar and then works to prove he is indeed Caesar by collecting fame points. The challenge is to intelligently allocate your eight rolled dice among the five buildings to acquire the fame you need to win the game. Clever Caesar would use these resources to conquer new provinces and assign suitable patricians to them, adding to his already enormous fame. Can you do the same? You will also need to show diplomacy in the senate and maybe visit the temple for some luck from Fortuna to win.
Although dice-rolling is luck-based, the options offered here go well beyond luck. You cannot control (well, sometimes you can, actually) the dice you get, but clever allocation of “bad” dice rolls can yield good results. When the dice allocation is done, the buildings are scored and another set begins.
At game end, the player with the most fame points.

Alexander moves with his army back and forth across Asia Minor, conquering the land as he passes. To bring peace to these newly conquered lands and to reward his generals, he gives them control of the new lands. The generals establish administration over the lands and levy taxes on the people living there. Naturally, each general tries to acquire the most productive lands for himself. With more productive lands, the general can levy higher taxes, show his worth to Alexander, and win the game!

It’s up to a small band of investigators to infiltrate the cult and learn from these dark rituals, yet even the most pure-hearted may find himself corrupted in the process.

The supernatural disturbances that plague Arkham, Massachussets, are not limited to that unfortunate place. The town of Dunwich is only a short train ride from Arkham, and if anything it is a darker, more frightening place, with its own secrets and its own perils. It looks like the investigators are going to have to protect two towns now instead of just one; if they ignore the dark forces that are stirring in Dunwich, they'll have to face the wrath of the Dunwich Horror ...

Innsmouth Horror also adds 16 new investigators, eight new Ancient Ones, two new Heralds, Epic Battle cards for the new Ancient Ones, over 30 new monster markers, plenty of new encounters, and an expansion board featuring the town of Innsmouth.

Through the murky streets of Arkham, unnatural gates are opening to connect our world with strange other dimensions. Out of the depths of these eldritch pathways have begun to crawl profane creatures that even now haunt the innocent, dragging away the unwary and causing havoc on silent midnight streets. At the epicenter of this living nightmare roil whispers of arcane magic cults, ancient family secrets, and a truth too terrible to behold. Join as one of a team of intrepid investigators committed to rooting out these otherworldly portals before an ancient evil reawakens, bringing its ancient horror back to destroy the world as we know it. Welcome to the horror of 1920's Arkham, Massachusetts!

This expansion brings new levels of dread to your table top, with the addition of a brand new Herald Sheet for "The Lurker at the Threshold" – a powerful and malevolent being that has appeared to prepare the way for the Ancient One, plus more than 200 components and some extraordinary new game mechanics to boot.

One of the highlights is the full set of 18 Gate markers that are designed to replace those from the Arkham Horror core set, as well as those from The Dunwich Horror and The Kingsport Horror. They are treated exactly the same as the previous Gate markers, except that each Gate now has an additional characteristic. For example, the "Gate of Madness" will cause an investigator to lose one Sanity when they fail to close the Gate, and a "Moving Gate" that can move along with monsters during the Mythos phase.

Brand new to The Lurker at the Threshold are Relationship Cards for use in games with two or more players. Each player draws one Relationship Card at the start of the game, which describes some advantage gained due to how the investigator to your left is related to you. Perhaps you are business associates and mutually reap the benefits of income, or both are Students of the Arcane and gain more frequent access to the Spell deck. No matter how you're related, these will bring a more interesting back-story to your game, involving your characters in more interesting ways than ever before.

Finally, The Lurker at the Threshold introduces the Dark Pact deck which will tempt foolish investigators to enter into a terrible arrangement with the Lurker itself. Although these Dark Pacts may grant your investigator enhanced abilities, there is sure to be a cost. What happens when the price too high?

Of course with over 100 new Location cards, Mythos, Gate cards and Spells, plus more Common and Unique Items, The Lurker at the Threshold will enhance and expand the enjoyment of Arkham Horror for players of all skill levels.

A recent find at Miskatonic University has unearthed even more mysteries pertaining to the strange happenings in Arkham, Massachusetts. While the worshippers of the Ancient One grow in strength, the stalwart defenders of this sleepy town are put to the ultimate test.

Ascension is a fast paced deckbuilding game designed by Magic™ Pro Tour champions Justin Gary, Rob Dougherty, and Brian Kibler, with artwork by Eric Sabee. Ascension is a deck-building game where players spend Runes to acquire more powerful cards for their deck. It offers a dynamic play experience where players have to react and adjust their strategy accordingly.

Gameplay is similar to other deckbuilding games, with the player adding cards to their deck by purchasing them from a central deck, which has the top six cards revealed and available for purchase. When cards are removed, they are replaced with a new one from the top of the deck. Victory points are earned in three ways: firstly, each card purchased is worth one or more victory points; second, victory points can be gained by defeating monsters with a power resource featured on several of the cards; finally, some cards give victory points directly each time they are played.

This 120-card expansion to the original Ascension game includes 65 new cards for the Center Deck, two 10-card starting decks and 35 “always available” cards. The expansion can be played standalone as a two-player game, or you can add all of the new cards to your original copy of Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer™ to create a brand new play experience that allows for up to six players to get in on the action.

Ascension: Return of the Fallen brings tons of new content to the table, including the Fate mechanic, which allows cards to impact the game the moment they appear in the center row. In addition, each faction gets brand new cards that work well on their own, but also expand strategies and combos from the original game! Players will also have the chance to take down Samael, the Fallen and take over his hordes of monsters as their reward.

Samael is dead, but a storm is still raging across Vigil. Ascension: Storm of Souls takes players into the chaos following the Fallen One's demise. As Samael's monsters run wild and his minions conspire, the world is being slowly overtaken with souls that should have moved on. Are you ready for the new challenges that Vigil's future holds?

Ascension: Storm of Souls is the first full-sized expansion for the hit deck-building game from Gary Games. The 200-card set features tons of new cards and mechanics, in addition to a new Event card type.

A complete 1-4 player game playable on its own or with other Ascension games! Combine with other Ascension games to play with up to 6 players!

China, 2000 years ago: Loyang (Luòyáng) has risen to become the Capital of the Han Dynasty and one of the four great Capitals of old China. The economic upturn of the now-flourishing city requires a better supply of basic foodstuffs.

You are local farmers, who plant wheat, pumpkins, turnips, cabbages, beans and leeks in their fields. After each harvest, the farmers assemble at the gates of Loyang to sell and trade their vegetables. They deliver to their regular customers or lucratively sell their vegetables to passing shoppers. Vegetables can also be traded at Market stalls or used for seed and planted in fields. If the farmers need vegetables that they don’t have in stock, they can buy them in the Shop. Twenty different helpers, each with different individual skills, are available to assist them. The most successful farmer will be the one who moves furthest along the Path of Prosperity within the given timeframe. Each step costs more and more money, which is also needed for investments. Farmers have to find the right balance.

The coins have square holes, so that they can be held on strings. They have the Chinese name “Cash”, which is the derivative of the modern term.

This third game in Rosenberg's harvest trilogoy (Agricola and Le Havre being the other two) can also be played solo.

The whole of Egypt is in uproar – Akhnaton, who has just acceded to the throne, wants to ban the old deity Amon from the temples of the land. Aton is to be worshipped as the new God. But the priests of the land are not willing to give up their temples without resistance, so the 4 largest temples are fiercely disputed. The players are adversaries and fight out this battle of the Gods between them. Both have the same starting position, but who will be able to make better use of his abilities and help his God to victory?

The basic game (Attack!) is a very simple game of expansion and conflict set in the World War 2 era. It is aimed at those game players who enjoy rules that are very simple and easy to get into. The game is not intended to be a simulation of the era, but immerses the players in the flavor of the period.
Gameplay:
Each player starts with a few regions (one of which is his capital), and a few military units. Players expand their power bases by adding regions to their "sphere of influence". This may be done either through diplomacy (they join willingly), or military conquest (they join, period).
There are three major sub-games in Attack!:
1) Land Combat: A simple system where each unit has certain advantages based on its historical role.
2) Sea Combat: A simple system where each ship type (Battleship, Carrier, Destroyer, and Sub) has certain advantages based on its historical role.
3) Economic: A simple system determines production. The player starts with one card per region owned, and then gets a new one for each new region added. The cards come in four basic flavors (suites): Resources, Factories, Transport Network, and Oil. Each card has a value printed on it that represents the base economic value of that region. If the player is able to create an entire "set" (one of each suite), he doubles the printed value on those cards. There is also a fifth type of card which has a minimum value of "1" that represents a region without any special economic value (just "population").
The units will include: Infantry, Tank, Artillery, and Air. These will be high quality plastic minis.
The map will be earth circa 1935 centered around the Atlantic (North and South America, Europe, and Africa).

DESIGNER’S INTRODUCTION

In 2003, Eagle Games introduced a new way to fight. The 1st edition of Attack! stripped global war down to its basics, appealing to fans of complex wargames and abstract strategy games alike. In theory, this game took place just before World War II began, but in reality, it didn’t just take place everywhere, it could take place everywhen. In this way it hearkened back to classic games like Risk and Supremacy, reminding the players that the reason to battle was not to recreate an era of history, but rather to battle for battle’s sake.

When it first came out, the game proclaimed that it would deliver on its great name. That first edition of Attack! didn’t reward caution. You and I girded up for war and started wailing on each other. Simple, straightforward, and fun.

I became aware of Attack! as I was developing another world-spanning battle game, the first revision of Axis & Allies in 18 years. That game was locked in place historically. It was early 1942: the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor had lit a fire under America, and Germany was at the height of its expansion. Axis & Allies staked its foot in the ground and said, this war, this time. And yet…

And yet it wasn’t quite, because for a wargame set in 1942 to have any chance of being balanced, Axis & Allies needed to compromise. The Germans needed to get more resources than they had in reality, because despite millions of people working to decide the outcome, by 1942 the Allies had made most of the gains they needed to win the war. It’s hard to imagine what the Axis could have done to win, assuming anything but inactivity from America and its European partners. So Axis & Allies put the Axis first, and a whole bunch of compromises with reality followed from there, all in the name of great gameplay.

Attack! doesn’t even try to be historical, and so it starts from a point of balance. You’re a nation, and you want to beat the other nations into oblivion. I’m not America, you’re not Germany, and we’re evenly matched. The only thing that makes you more capable of beating me is if you’re smarter or luckier or more adaptable than I am.

When Sean and I started to redevelop the game for its 2nd Edition, we looked at both the base game and its expansion, and thought about what we wanted to keep. The combat system was excellent, for example, and the huge map (once you added the expansion to the base set) was awe-inspiring. But some things weren’t awe-inspiring, and we pruned those away. This gave us the freedom to introduce new rules—new technology, new naval battles, and lots more—that made the game more flexible and more fun, and allowed us the supreme luxury of combining the base set and the expansion into one. This is all you’ll ever need to conquer the entire world.

But maybe, after all that buildup, you still don’t think this game’s for you. Maybe you’d like something more methodical, realistic, or slow. If so, I’m sure someone will create a game called Defend! just for you. But if you like battle for battle’s sake, as I do, you only need to know one word: Attack! —Mike Selinker, February 2009

Each player oversees the building of his city-state. Temple, theater and oracle, a harbor with ships, vineyard with vintner, and many more must find space on the islands. Players must move fast to get the best land for themselves while blocking their opponents from good building spots. As building is expensive, players seek to save money by using the natural resources of the islands. Players also seek to organize their building in an order that gives them the best city-state.

A creative word game about associations. One player chooses a topic and each player picks one of the 4 attribute cards from their hand. If they have a green sheep, they must try the attribute that matches the topic best. If they have a red sheep they try to pick an attribute that least matches the topic. Then everyone tries to grab the attribute that comes with a green sheep. It's a flurry of fun and action as players try to grab the matches.
A fun party game.

Automobile carries you back to the birth of America’s car industry, when inventors, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs created a wild array of marvels and misfortunes. You step into this rough, romantic trade hoping to create a fortune by building and selling cars. Tapping the talents of men like Ford, Sloan, Kettering, Howard, Durant, and Chrysler, you balance quality versus quantity, mass production versus premium branding, and innovation versus distribution and aggressive sales. Lose your balance and you go bust. Strike the best balance, shift the right gears to best your rivals, and you’ll be rich.

You might even win. So, pull up your sleeves and start making cars!

When the gods throw a party... The Roman god of wine, Bacchus, has organized three great Bacchanalias to be held in his honor.

He has given his satyrs the enviable task of recruiting young nymphs to come to these wild parties.

As a player, you are one of Bacchus’ satyrs. Your task is to gather together as many like-dressed nymphs as possible, driving up the point value and scoring as much as possible in the process.

How To Play

In this game you are a time traveler, a descendant of one of the characters in the Back to the Future movies. Unfortunately, other time travelers have been tampering with events in your past, endangering your very existence. You must put things back in the ways that seem right to you, then stop Doc Brown from ever inventing time travel, which will freeze reality the way you need it to be, once and for all.

The game is played entirely with cards, but has the feel of a board game since important events are represented by a special grid of 24 cards called the TimeLine.

The Hysterical Game of Sketchy Directions!

Two teams race to identify drawings done by their own team members. But the artists don’t know what they are drawing—they can only follow the instructions given by another team member. Laughter erupts as players attempt to follow direction and to guess what is being drawn.

In Balloon Cup, the players compete in several short balloon flights (hops) to collect the colored cubes associated with each hop. When a player has collected enough cubes of a given color, he earns the trophy card for that color. Players may even trade 3 otherwise useless cubes for 1 they can use. The first player to earn 3 trophy cards is the winner! Each player has a hand of eight balloon cards. The players play their balloons on mountain or plain hops. Players play their high-valued balloons on the mountains and their low-valued balloons on the plains. Players usually play their balloons on their side of the hops, but winds (and cunning) can cause them to play on their opponent’s side, a move that can ruin their opponent’s plans.

With a bright Peep from the whistle, a full Chuff from the pistons and a powerful Clank from the drivers, America's first steam locomotive moves down the steel rails of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in Baltimore in 1830. This strategic railroad game extends from the first of America's railroads through the golden age of steam, where pioneering rail barons knit together the fledgling United States with iron roads, realizing the full power of the nation's mighty heartland. Each player takes the roles of railroad presidents and their wealthy investors, betting that their capital gambles will pay off handsomely. Baltimore and Ohio is not a game of luck or chance, but a competitive struggle of wits, savvy and guile. With the resources at hand, should you focus on further expansion, technological breakthroughs or emerging markets? This modern classic has all the challenges faced by the empire building capitalists that created a superpower.

Eddie Robbins' Baltimore & Ohio is a no luck, no auctions, 3+ hour, grand strategic economic slugfest of a train game.

The railroads in the game are:

• Baltimore & Ohio
• Boston & Maine
• Chesapeake & Ohio
• Erie
• Illinois Central
• New York Central
• New York, Chicago & Saint Louis (aka Nickel Plate)
• New York, New Haven & Hartford
• Pennsylvania
• Wabash

Contents:

• 17” x 33” gameboard
• 10 company charter boards
• 100 shares (10 each per company)

A Scrabble-like game without the board -- much like Pick Two!, but without the letter values.
This version has double the number of tiles - 288 instead of 144 - allowing for double the number of players as the regular version.
Using a selection of plastic letter tiles, each player works independently to create their own 'crossword'. When a player uses up all their letters, all players take a new tile from the pool. When all the tiles are gone, the first player to use up all the tiles in their hand wins.
There are also variants included in the rules, and the game is suitable for solo play.

"The Outlaws hunt the Sheriff. The Sheriff hunts the Outlaws. The Renegade plots secretly, ready to take one side or the other. Bullets fly. Who among the gunmen is a Deputy, ready to sacrifice himself for the Sheriff? And who is a merciless Outlaw, willing to kill him? If you want to find out, just draw (your cards)!" (From back of box)
This card game recreates an old-fashioned spaghetti western shoot-out, with each player randomly receiving a Character card to determine special abilities, and a secret Role card to determine their goal.
Four different Roles are available, each with a unique victory condition:
Sheriff - Kill all Outlaws and the Renegade
Deputy - Protect the Sheriff and kill any Outlaws
Outlaw - Kill the Sheriff
Renegade - Be the last person standing
A player's Role is kept secret, except for the Sheriff. Character cards are placed face-up on table, and also track strength (hand limit) in addition to special ability.
There are 22 different types of cards in the draw deck. Most common are the BANG! cards, which let you shoot at another player, assuming the target is within "range" of your current gun. The target player can play a "MISSED!" card to dodge the shot. Other cards can provide temporary boosts while in play (for example, different guns to improve your firing range) and special one-time effects to help you or hinder your opponents (such as Beer to restore health, or Barrels to hide behind during a shootout). A horse is useful for keeping your distance from unruly neighbors, while the Winchester can hit a target at range 5. The Gatling is a deadly exception where range doesn't matter - it can only be used once, but targets all other players at the table!
Information on the cards is displayed using language-independent symbols, and 7 summary/reference cards are included.

It’s Gold Rush time! A cascade of gold nuggets will be the reward for the quickest gunslinger! Now you can gain new and extraordinary equipment to help you during a gunfight. But watch out for the ghastly shadow-gunslingers… they have only one single aim: to blow you away! Can you gallop your way to the richest creek?

BANG! Gold Rush introduces some innovative gameplay mechanics:

• Thanks to the shadow-gunslinger game variant, player are never really out of the game. During his turn, the shadow-gunslinger temporarily re-enters the game and he can play as if he was still alive. With BANG! Gold Rush, the outcome of the match can even be determined by an eliminated player.

• Players can collect gold nuggets to buy equipment. The purchase of an "equipment" card allows you to selectively enhance your character and develop new strategies.

The box contains:

• 8 new characters
• 24 equipment cards
• 30 gold nuggets
• 1 “shadow-Renagade” card

Bang! The Bullet 2nd Edition contains:
- Bang! 4th edition (no player mats or bullet tokens)
- Dodge City 3rd edition
- High Noon 2nd Edition
- A Fistful Of Cards 2nd Edition
- Two Exclusive High Noon cards - "New Identity" and "Handcuffs"
- Three new characters - "Uncle Will", "Johnny Kisch", and "Santa Claus"
- Two blank cards
- One silver sheriff badge

No laws in the whole Wild West can stop them! They are strong, terrible, greedy, and they are mad!

New ruthless gunslingers run about the Wild West at breakneck speed, panicking the other gunmen. Their talent is madness, and so are the cards you’ll find in this crazy expansion! Your chances are hanging by a thread - can you measure up against unfair duels and unpredictable moves?

Bang! Wild West Show! is "a little double-faced expansion that contains eight VERY wild new characters, like one that draws cards from the other players hands instead of the deck, one with 9 life points who cannot use Missed! cards, [and] one that "draws" when it’s killed and stays alive if you do not draw Spades, ’cause you need a Spade to bury him!, [plus] a set of cards that come in play when you play a Wells Fargo and change the rules of the game until they are discarded... [and] craaaaazy cards, like the Wild West Show that lets you play Missed! cards as BANG!s and vice versa, [and] one that lets you swap your position with another player at the table..."

Two opponents face off across a 'battle line' and attempt to win the battle by taking 5 of 9 flags or 3 adjacent flags. Flags are decided by placing cards into 3 card poker-type hands on either side of the flag (similar to straight flush, 3 of a kind, straight, flush, etc). The side with the highest 'formation' of cards wins the flag.
This is a rethemed version of Schotten-Totten with different graphics and wooden flag bits in place of the boundary stone cards. Game play is identical, except the cards run from 1 to 10 (not 9), you hold seven cards in your hand (not 6), and the rule that stones may only be claimed at the start of your turn is presented as an "advanced variant".

Battles of Napoleon

For twenty years, from 1796 until the final defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte and his generals fought on the battlefields of all Europe.

Battles of Napoleon is a gaming system that allows two players to recreate the most important historical battles the era. The Eagle and the Lion, the first game in the Battles of Napoleonseries, gives you all you need to recreate many of the major clashes that saw the French and English armies –sworn enemies – face each other on the battlefields of Belgium, Spain and Italy. No less than 10 battles are featured, each of them based on a major historical event.

In Battles of Napoleon – The Eagle and the Lion, the two players control the French and English armies (sometimes supported by allies of other nationalities) in a specific battle.

Battleship Galaxies is a space combat miniatures board game that is a distant cousin to the original Battleship game. The two opposing forces represented in the game, the human Intergalactic Space Navy and the alien Wretcheridians, are represented by 20 highly-detailed starship miniatures. There are figures for several different ship types and each has an individual reference card that defines the characteristics of that ship (e.g. weapons, movement, shields). The game is played on a star field hex board.

The game is scenario driven and each scenario will define the goal of the game as well as initial board set-up. Each turn, players have a certain number of energy points that can be spent to perform actions, such as movement or fire. Combat is resolved by rolling special dice, a ten-sided die with letters and an eight-sided die with numbers. The resulting letter-number combination is compared to the target ship’s reference card to determine the result. Hits on a ship are indicated by placing colored pegs in the figure’s base.

Here's what comes in the box:

• 2 Gameboards
• 20 Plastic ships with bases and stands
• 24 Ship cards
• 2 Screens with side supports
• 2 Coordinate dice
• 35 Blue pegs
• 40 Red pegs
• 2 Energy boards and markers

“We make our own laws, now. Our own justice…we’re not a civilization anymore. We are a gang.”
–Lee Adama

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce Exodus, the latest expansion for Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game! With three new options to add to your game, Exodus is a great way to expand on the accusations and mistrust that runs rampant in Battlestar Galactica.

You can choose to add any combination of the three new options included in Exodus. Crave more white-knuckle space dog-fighting? Incorporate the Cylon Fleet option. The Conflicted Loyalties option introduces new Loyalty Cards that will test even the most trustworthy allegiances. Finally, relive the emotional turmoil of the hit television series with the Ionian Nebula, which pits players against the various conflicting personalities aboard Galactica.

The Cylon Fleet option keeps the pressure intense by introducing the Cylon Fleet game board. This board makes sure that every Crisis Card drawn will result in some sort of enemy ship activity. Once the Cylon Pursuit Track reaches the end, the Cylon ships will transfer over to the main game board, surrounding Galactica. There’s little time for rest between assaults, so get out there and protect those civvies, fighter jockeys!

Alliances are put to the test in the Conflicted Loyalties option, where the new Final Five Loyalty Cards up the stakes and introduce penalties for revealing your fellow humans’ Loyalty Card. In addition, new Personal Goal Loyalty Cards present players with an incriminating task to undertake. If they don’t fulfill their goal, then they will cause Galactica to lose a resource at the end of the game. Will you raise suspicion by completing the damaging task, or will you lay low and hope your failures won’t condemn the rest of your crew?

Finally, with the Ionian Nebula option, familiar faces populate the fleet as allies, and can be encountered by visiting locations on Galactica. But beware! The Cylons can influence these non-player characters, compelling them to produce negative effects when encountered. Manage humanity’s conflicting personalities carefully... or infighting will leave you vulnerable!

The first expansion for Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game, Pegasus adds two new supplemental game boards featuring the Battlestar Pegasus and the planet New Caprica, seven new characters, two plastic Basestars, as well as new Destination, Crisis, Loyalty, Quorum, Super Crisis, and Skill cards.
The new Pegasus board can be used by itself or together with the New Caprica board to create the game you desire – the Pegasus alone for the additional firepower she provides, or add the New Caprica board to simulate the rebellion on the new human colony, bringing the game to an epic level.
New rules introduce the ability to play as a new character type – the Cylon Leader, with a new Treachery Skill card type.

Battle rages on between orcs and knights. Purple and Orange form a chaotic melee and no-one knows which side will win this battle. Mage towers scattered on the battlefield are strategic objectives, and it soon appears that whomever controls the most towers will sow the seeds of victory.
Players place tiles to form majorities of their army on the corners of towers: when all 4 corners are resolved, the player with the majority of corners seizes control of the tower.
Special power tokens can increase your presence or decrease your opponent's presence as well as doing a few other things.
There are 5 special tiles included in the game for added strategies.

"Bausack" is a classic in tactical competence games. For the first time in 20 years, it is now show cased in a box edition. The aim of all four playing varieties is to build a tower. The sack contains different wooden pieces (e.g. egg, ring, pine tree, quad) as well as a small bag of jewels for the auction variation of the game. One might end up paying many jewels to avoid building an especially difficult element. Gambling and bluffing abilities are needed as well as building competence and strategic talent. A game with endless building possibilities, it's a challenge for steady hands and shaky suspense for clever tacticians.

Start as a proto-dinosaur or proto-mammal, just after the Permian apocalypse that destroyed 96% of the planet. Faced with environmental changes and competition from others, you must mutate your species and start new species. Create bizarre chimeras, from vegetarian velociraptors to flying dolphins. Establish subterranean civilizations, tame fire, or just be super-sexy.

Bios-Megafauna

Comes with:

• mounted map,
• 108 Cards,
• 126 die-cut counters,
• 128 laser-cut wooden animals,
• 18 gene chips

Overview. From 1 to 4 players start as proto-dinosaurs or proto-mammals. These creatures are distinguished by dentition; some have long batteries of teeth better suited for masticating plants, while others have fewer teeth better suited for meat-eating. Each player starts with genes used to purchase mutation and genotype cards. Stacks of cards and tiles indicate the dietary DNA of your species, giving it adaptations such as long necks for browsing.  Markers on tracks record roadrunner DNA, attributes that help your species catch prey or avoid being prey, such as swiftness or aggressiveness. You can create interesting critters, like blubbery vegetarian velociraptors, or flying fire-using hedgehogs. Tiles that have gone extinct are collected in an area on the map called the “tarpits”. These tiles are distributed among the most populous players as victory points during four scoring rounds.

You’ve heard the old saying: “Birds of a feather flock together”? Well, the same is true when they gather on wires—that is, before they get zapped and fly away.

Players arrange birds into sets on their power lines trying to create the best scoring combinations. But watch out! In this game of migrating birds and zaps, scores go up and down and you never know if your score is the highest until the very end.

You win the game if you have the best set of birds on a wire at the end, with either all the same attributes (color or shape), one and only one attribute alike, or no attributes at all alike!

This game has two sets of rules, one for families with young children (7 and up) and one for more advanced play. This is a delightful game for kids and families that you’ll want to play again and again.

Blokus Trigon is an abstract strategy game from the makers of Blokus. The board pieces have changed from square to triagonal. Game play is similar to Blokus, as players try to get rid of all their pieces. The only caveat to placing a piece is that it may not lie adjacent to your other pieces, but instead must be placed touching at least one of your pieces already on the board at a corner.
There is a solitaire version where one player tries to get rid of all the pieces in a single sitting.

The stadium is packed with thousands of screaming fans, gathered from across the world and eager to see the bone-crushing action of today’s game.

In the advanced game, players have the option of building their own deck, constructing a powerful multi-faction alliance.

This great card game is about planting, trading, and selling beans - 11 kinds of beans. Players try to collect large sets of beans to sell for gold. There is limited growing space and always new beans to plant. To avoid planting unwanted beans, players trade them to other players who want them for their bean fields.

Each player plants beans in 2 or 3 fields and tries to sell them as profitably as possible. When selling beans, a player earns more gold for more beans of the same variety. The goal of the game is it to earn the most gold planting, harvesting, and selling beans. Without careful planning, players may be forced to harvest and sell their beans before they are ready and at lower prices than they hoped. In fact, sometimes a harvest brings no gold at all. The difference in this version from the original is that all the bean pictures are different and were supplied by fans of the game from around the world.

This expansion to Bohnanza contains new game variants and two new bean types, the Cognac bean and the Field bean. With High Bohn (for 3-5 players), the players may spend their thalers on buildings located in Virginia City. These building have attributes that give the players new tactics for winning. The Plus part of this expansion adds Field Beans (for 4-5 players) that can be harvested for a third field and Order cards (for 3-7 players) that allow players to earn extra thalers when they can fill very specific orders.

Unrest in Beanland. Bean princes in all parts of the land are trying to conquer foreign villages and cities. They use the profits from their bean sales to finance their attacks. At the end of the game, bean thalers have no value. Instead, players only score the lands they control as victory points. Thus, the most powerful bean prince is crowned Bohnaparte of Beanland. A new and exciting expansion for the great BOHNANZA game!

There are two basic types of cards used in this game: Evidence cards and Gavel cards. The play of the game is based on the Rummy card game, with players trying to make melds (3 or more of a kind) of Evidence cards of the same color to score points. The Gavel cards add a strategic element to the game not found in traditional Rummy. The game ends when at least one player has scored 100 points or more (or 200 points depending on the length of game desired). The player with the highest score wins. In the event of a tie, you must play another hand. You will need a pencil and paper to keep score of each hand.

Boomtown is a game with auctions, dice, and some fun and nasty action cards to play on your fellow gold diggers.
There's gold in them thar hills!
In Boomtown, you start as a gold digger and try to end as a tycoon.
To do this, you must first buy the best mining concessions, hoping to find gold veins. You can also try to become the Mayor of Whiskey River or San Narciso, in order to get a small cut on concessions sales, or build a saloon where lucky prospectors will spend their nuggets in moonshine whiskey. If business is really bad, you can still rely on bank or stagecoach hold-ups to reestablish you. A well placed stick of dynamite can also solve some minor problems.

In Bootleggers, you're da boss, making a name in the trade of illegal booze or “hooch”. By muscling in on competition, paying off local authorities, and shipping trucks of hooch, your goal is to make more money than your competition by using any and all means available, both fair and unfair as you see fit.

“Of glass it is but the glass of it was tempered in the flames of hell. An imp lives in it, and that is the shadow we behold there moving: or so I suppose. If any man buy this bottle the imp is at his command; all that he desires - love, fame, money, houses like this house ... - all are his at the word uttered ... There is one thing the imp cannot do - he cannot prolong life; and, it would not be fair to conceal from you, there is a drawback to the bottle; for if a man die before he sells it, he must burn in hell forever ... it cannot be sold at all, unless sold at a loss. If you sell it for as much as you paid for it, back it comes to you again like a homing pigeon ... Only remember it must be coined money that you sell it for ...”

As with many other trick-taking card games, the idea of The Bottle Imp is to acquire the most points. The Bottle Imp makes trumps out of the lowest cards. The player with the highest card less than the price of the Bottle earns the trick and also the bottle imp card. Then the price of the Bottle falls to that of the winning card. In this way the owner of the Bottle Imp changes until its
value can no longer be undercut. Whoever has the Bottle Imp at the end of the hand earns negative points instead of positive ones.

Your goal in Brass is to build cotton mills, coal mines, iron works, canals, railways, ports, and shipyards, and to have them be used so that they score points. Your choices will be limited by the cards you draw, but not as much as by the plans you make. Lots of interesting detail in the historical Lancashire setting.

In BRIDGE TROLL, you and your friends are hideous trolls who each guard a troll bridge. Each turn, you throw boulders to bid for travelers, who vary in number depending on the weather for that day.
ravelers include fat merchants, pilgrims, poor monks (who make good eating), and if you are lucky, royal personages. As travelers come to your bridge, you use them to collect tolls. But watch out! Knights, bandits, dragons, and vicious Billy Goats Gruff prowl the countryside. You'll have to use some of your boulders to chase them away (which means you’ll have fewer left to use on your bridge!).
Although you need to collect tolls from travelers so you can buy building supplies, working on your bridge makes you hungry, so you will have to eat some of your travelers instead. It is important to
alance tolls with food in order to make your bridge very appealing to travelers. If you eat too many travelers or just collect money, you won't be able to fix up your bridge. The player who uses toll-money, food, and boulders to build the most impressive troll bridge operation wins the game.
