Reforest is a card game in which players compete to create the healthiest forest ecosystem by assembling a tableau of plants, each with unique properties and abilities. On your turn, you choose one of two actions. You can collect plants by drawing two cards from the draw pile or from the open plant market. You can also play a plant by adding a plant card to your tableau in one of the allowed height categories (low, medium or high areas). You pay the cost of cards by discarding other plants from your hand as nutrients. Because space is limited, taller plants can be placed over pioneer species. Each new plant earns points and contributes to a growing ecosystem of interconnected skills. At the end of each round, when the draw pile is empty, the player whose plants best match an animal visitor's preferences ( such as the most flowers or fruits ) receives an animal card. The game ends when all animals have found a home. The players' forests are then scored and the player with the most points wins.

For added replayability, the game features variable elements in the setup, such as which special abilities and final score tiles are available.

The moment the inhabitants of this beautiful land see the flags of your Viking ship, they flee with their tails between their legs. It is now up to you to lead your Vikings. Seize the resources left behind and plunder the empty buildings, so that you can become the next jarl of the Vikings. Do you love games that require you to play tactically as well as puzzle, such as Carcassonne or Patchwork? And can't it take too long? Then Vlooot might be right up your alley. It plays easily, but how do you puzzle your loot together so that you end up with the most points? Try it yourself! Each player gets a number of Vikings and a tableau. When it is your turn, you place your Viking on a space of the game board adjacent to another Viking. Based on where you place him, you get 1 or more tiles. These can contain resources, but also conquered buildings, such as houses or castles. You must place these tiles directly on your tableau. Furthermore, you may take a ship each turn. You must also place this on your tableau. Why is it important where you place tiles on your tableau? Well, because for the Viking ships and the building sites, which are already on your tableau, you need certain resources and buildings to get the points for them. And that tile has to be next to it at the end of the game. Also, for ships, you get minus points if you haven't filled them with the right stuff, so taking unlimited ships is not useful. You can also score points by claiming trophies and collecting extra points for your buildings. The game ends when all Vikings have been placed. If you have the most points, you win and are elected jarl!

In the 16th century, a small fishing village was founded in northern Germany, which initially did not pose a threat to its old neighbour Hamburg. As Altona grew rapidly, a great rivalry arose, with the two cities constantly trying to outdo each other. Take on your opponent in an exciting city battle. Try to achieve an immediate victory, but beware, there are many ways to achieve it. The key to success lies in the art of deception and the ability to estimate your opponent's intentions. Are you often with two people and are you looking for a game in which tension and suspicion are central? And do you like to think carefully about your moves? Stedenstrijd offers all of that. The game is suitable for opportunists, who go for the immediate victory or for long-term players, who try to have the highest score at the end of the game. In City Battle, you and your rival take turns. When it's your turn, you move the ink pot forward clockwise along the ink fields of the game board. Depending on the ink field you end up on, you perform certain actions. If a player moves the ink pot past the bell, the game is interrupted and a low season occurs. The interrupted player then continues their turn. The game ends after the off-season in which at least 1 of the conditions for the end of the game is met (at the latest after the 7th off-season). The player with the most stars wins the game in that case. However, the game usually ends before that point as a result of a player having an immediate victory. This can happen in 4 ways: the player has 3 more ship cards than his rival, the player wins his 3rd lawsuit card, the player has all 4 treaty cards, or the prestige stone reaches the player's city name at the end of the prestige track.

Each round you start with 8 to 13 cards in your hand, depending on the number of players and the round. In the first round the cards consist of values ​​from 1 to 10 in four suits. The standard trick-taking rules apply: players must follow the suit played and the highest card in that suit wins the trick. New cards enter play via the Ocean set in waves, including higher values ​​in all four suits, a green trump suit with values ​​from 1 to 16, 0 cards that allow you to grab a card from a trick, and buoy cards with special powers. Buoys can be played into a trick at any time, regardless of what you have in your hand. They can be used to take control, determine which suit is played next, force other players to pass cards or lose points, or even steal all the other cards in a trick to secure a big haul for yourself. At the end of each round, score 1 point for each card you captured. The player with the most points after eight rounds wins the game!

With each piece, new possibilities are offered, and that in 3 dimensions. Consider carefully where you place your pieces. The more identical symbols are next to each other, the more points you score. However, always keep an eye on all colors. Because in the end, only the color with the lowest score determines who walks away with the win.

Then try Genius 3D. You have to combine in 3 dimensions and always choose between your own possibilities and the chances you offer others.

Each player has a tile holder with 5 playing pieces in front of them. There are already 6 starting pieces on the game board. When it is your turn, you place a playing piece on the game board or on other playing pieces if they are at the same height. There are 2 colors (symbols) on each playing piece. You get points for all the same symbols that border your playing piece. You mark these points on your score board. Because you count each color separately, your markers do not advance at the same speed. When you are finished with your turn, you draw a new tile from the stock. The game ends when all tiles have been laid or that is no longer possible. The players then compare their score boards. Everyone first looks at the color in which they scored the worst. Whoever has the highest score there wins the game. If there is a tie, those players look at the color in which they have progressed second worst, and so on. You can also play Genius 3D on your own.

Ironwood is a rules-light, highly asymmetric, card-driven tactical game for 1-2 players. Each round, you and your opponent take turns playing a total of three faction-specific cards to use their action effects. These effects include positioning battlegroups, initiating combat, gaining crystals, applying temporary passive effects, and more. When combat occurs, you’ll use those same cards for their combat values, in a simultaneous bid to gain combat bonuses, inflict or deflect casualties, and increase your battlegroups’ dominance to win the battle. Ironwood also offers a solo mode against the Ironclad or the Woodwalkers. Each faction is controlled by a unique deck of 30+ action cards. On your turn, you select a card from your hand and resolve the action to progress toward victory. However, when a player initiates combat, you use the same cards in your hand to fight. Instead of resolving the action on the card, you and your opponent simultaneously bid a card with their combat values. With faction-specific decks, unique victory conditions, and very different playstyles, each faction feels completely different. The Ironclad represent the established, defensive faction that favors long-term development. The Woodwalkers have limited access to crystals, and their more aggressive playstyle focuses on sabotage, pillaging, and surprise attacks. As Commander of the Ironclad, your main goal is to lay the foundations of your forges and, once you have collected enough crystals, build these forges on the foundations. As Leader of the Woodwalkers, your mission is to find the ancient Totems of your people and secure them in the outer woods, out of reach of the Ironclad.
