Verdant is the successor to Calico and Cascadia. After creating a quilt and a habitat that is perfectly balanced, it is now time to make your house green with the most beautiful houseplants. Collect furniture, pets and, above all, lots of plants to make your house completely green. The most important thing is to take good care of your plants. Verdant is a puzzle game for 1-5 players ages 10 and up, designed by Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, Aaron Mesburne, Kevin Russ, and Shawn Stankewitch. Each round, you take turns clockwise and take a plant card or room card and an item or care token from the market and add them to your personal playing area. During the game you add items to your house and try to complete as many plants as possible by taking good care of them. On your turn, you take a card and a token from one column of your choice from the market and place them in your personal playing area. Each player builds up his personal playing area in a checkerboard pattern (5 cards wide and 3 cards long). All cards you place in your personal playing area must be placed adjacent to cards already placed. Try to meet the plant's light preferences to complete the plant. You complete plants by making them greener and finally placing a flower pot token on them. At the end of each turn, the market is replenished and a thumb token is placed on the unchosen card in the same column. The end of the game is activated when each player has created a pattern of 5x3 cards in their personal playing area. In a game, each player has a turn exactly 13 times. Then the scoring follows. The player with the most points wins the game!

Lost Ruins of Arnak combines deck-building and worker placement. In this game you go on a voyage of discovery and you have to keep a close eye on your amount of resources. The unique thing about Lost Ruins of Arnak is that classic deck-building mechanisms are combined with new mechanisms. The cards can be played in a traditional way, but you can also use them to place workers. Some actions require resources instead of workers, so it is very important to keep an eye on your resources. Make sure you do all this efficiently, because you only have one action per turn. The Games Friends: " Arnak plays very smoothly, but the combination of worker placement and deckbuilding gives you a lot of tactical choices to make. The theme is fun and the artwork is beautiful. Highly recommended! "

Ah, money. There's nothing like the sound of coins clinking in your hand. You certainly prefer it to the sound of coins in other people's hands, or to the sound of coins in a safe that no one can reach without first raising their status. Increasing status is behind you. Life has been good to you. 10 years ago you still worked in your own fields with a simple straw hat on your head. Today your kingdom stretches from sea to sea and your straw hat is the largest the world has ever seen. You also own the smallest dog in the world and a life-size statue of yourself made of baklava. Of course, money cannot buy happiness, but it can buy jealousy, anger and also a kind of empty feeling. You still have problems – disruptive neighbors that need to be defeated. But this time you do it in style. This expansion to Dominion contains 25 new kingdom cards and 2 new standard cards, allowing players to build beyond Gold and Provinces. The central theme is wealth; there are money cards with action capabilities, cards that interact with money cards, and expensive, powerful cards. Dominion Welvaart makes it possible to do more with your money cards. Therefore, you now play them in an order of your choice, performing any actions before playing the next card. Since there is a lot more money in the game than usual, you can buy standard cards like Platinum (which is worth 5 coins) and Colony (which is worth 10 victory points). There are also cards that provide extra victory points in the form of tokens. With this expansion, the options become even greater than they already were! The Games Friends: " In Dominion: Prosperity, decks with too few money cards are an end, because you will become rich. That is why the more expensive coin and victory cards are a solution. Because you have a lot of money, you have the feeling that you have much more than with other expansions. That is a big advantage, but it changes the game considerably. "Another fantastic expansion on Dominion. "

Fast-paced, nerve-wracking dice game, in which a player must dice both rabbits and cages to score points. As long as he throws the correct symbols, he can continue. If the risk becomes too great for him, he can stop and write points. On your turn, you roll the dice and must put at least one rabbit aside. You can also set aside cages, but you must do this in ascending order. You also have to put away carrots, but you are not allowed to throw them again. Then you re-roll any dice that were not set aside. You continue like this until you can't or don't want to go any further. If you cannot put rabbits aside after a throw, you do not score any points. If you decide to quit, you score the number of rabbits thrown multiplied by the level of your cages. Then it is the next player's turn. However, he or she may choose to take the risk and continue playing with the number of points you have written. Are you one of the daredevils or do you prefer to be on the safe side? Rabbit Hutches fits perfectly into our series of dice games and is ideal for holidays. Up to 7 players can participate!

The game where you have to steal! In Jatten you steal cards from each other to build your own collection, and once you start stealing from other people's goods it's hard to stop - but those who want too much will go home empty-handed! On your turn, you play a card from your hand into your collection and you may make a card raid. You choose an opponent, draw a card from his hand and place it face up on the table. You can then stop and keep that card, or you can draw another card from the same player. If two stolen cards have the same number, your turn ends and the cards return to the victim's hand. If you manage to stop in time, you can place all the stolen cards in front of you. If you have drawn an imposter, you may steal a card of your choice from the opponent's collection. The first to collect six cards of the same value wins!

Spicy is an exciting, engaging card game with beautiful artwork and excellent production quality. The cards are illustrated with forty different works of art. Moreover, not only does the music box shine in chic metallic gold, but the card backs are also decorated with a gold-colored finish. During your turn you can play a card or draw a card. To play a card, you must either start a pile or play a higher card of the same suit. Stacks can only be started with cards numbered 1 to 3. Once a stack reaches 10, a 1 to 3 of the same suit must be played on it. When playing a card, players announce the card they are supposedly playing. Players can bluff and essentially play any card they want because all cards are played face down. And after each card is played, players can challenge it by number or color. Challenging doesn't cost you many cards: you draw two cards, but you immediately play one. Early in the game, everyone has a handful of cards, so the odds aren't necessarily in the challenger's favor, but the accusations start coming when players' hands start to empty. The winner of the challenge receives the accumulation of spicy cards. The loser draws cards and starts a new pile. If a player runs out of cards, he may take one of the three trophy cards. The game ends when a player has two trophy cards, in which case that player wins. Each trophy card is worth 10 points, each captured spicy card is 1 point, and cards still in a player's hand are worth one minus point. Spicy contains six game variant cards, but high replayability is guaranteed even without these variants.

Here's the Carousel token pack: a must-have collection for Blood on the Clocktower fans looking to expand their games with all the experimental tokens released so far. This set includes all the experimental characters we've released to date, allowing you to delve deeper into the ever-expanding world of Blood on the Clocktower . It also includes three token boxes, providing ample space to keep everything organized and ready to play. What is the Carousel? The Carousel is an experimental token set , a collection of physical tokens containing every experimental character released so far. This includes all the experimental characters from the Kickstarter Edition (with potentially updated abilities), but excludes characters from the base game, as those are not experimental. The term "experimental" means just that: we expect most abilities to be in their final form and will eventually appear in planned expansion scripts, but some are still subject to change. Many other experimental characters have not yet been publicly revealed. What is the Carousel not? The Carousel isn't an expansion in the sense of composite character sets released with their own scripts and design goals. This is different from the three core sets you already know and love, or the sets teased in the final pages of the main rulebook. The Carousel bundles all the current experimental characters into a single physical product. This allows personal players to access the same set of experimental characters available in Blood on the Clocktower Online . This way, everyone gets the same Clocktower experience while we continue developing the expansion scripts. What's in the Carousel? This product has been kept simple to create an affordable option for those who want these tokens sooner rather than later. There's no fancy display box, no scripts (as this isn't an expansion), and no physical almanac. What you do get are seven punch boards filled with all those shiny new tokens, including memory tokens and a few extra night tokens. There are also three specially designed token boxes, which (with a little careful planning) fit neatly inside the Grimoire. Note: We assume you know this, but the Blood on the Clocktower game is required to fully utilize the Carousel tokens. Unless, of course, you just want to look at the beautiful icon graphics.

The island needs your help in this cooperative board game! There have been powerful spirits on this isolated island since time immemorial. They are part of the natural world and at the same time something supernatural. Local residents, the Dahan, have learned to live alongside the spirits, but with a healthy dose of caution and respect. However, the island has now been “discovered” by invaders from a far away country. These would-be settlers take over the land and disrupt the natural balance, destroying the presence of the spirits along the way. As spirits, you must develop your qualities and work together to drive the invaders off your island before it's too late! Each round the spirits take action simultaneously, using their properties to push back the invaders, strengthen the island and help the local population, the Dahan. However, the spirits start small and limited, and must learn new tricks to compete with the rapidly advancing invaders, who, based on game-driven actions, spread across the island and build settlements, causing death and destruction along the way. sow. To win, the spirits (with the help of the Dahan) must destroy the invaders and chase away any survivors. However, the game ends in defeat if the island is overrun by the plague, if a spirit is completely destroyed, or if you act too slowly and cannot drive away the invaders in time. Are you a fan of cooperative games such as The Legends of Andor and Paleo, but are you looking for something a little more complicated and challenging? Then you might really like Spirit Island. The basic game alone is very variable with its many different spirits and random factors. Let alone if you also add some more extras such as concrete opponents and higher difficulty levels. Spirit Island is ranked incredibly high in the BoardGameGeek games rankings, so for cooperative gaming enthusiasts, the question isn't if you want to play it, but rather when! In Spirit Island you try together to ensure that the invaders do not overrun the island. Each round consists of 5 different phases, in which different things happen. Within each phase, the players play simultaneously, where they are allowed to discuss freely. Talking at the table is not only allowed, but usually necessary to win. In the spirit phase the spirits grow, gain energy and are allowed to play trait cards. In the second phase the players handle fast properties, in the third phase it is the turn of the game-controlled invaders. They send out their scouts, destroy the land and build various settlements. After they are ready, the spirits deal with their slow properties. In phase 5, the players prepare for the next round. At the start of the game, the invaders are at panic level 1. They are not afraid of the island and probably don't even know about the existence of the spirits. To win, you must completely clear the island of invaders. Earning Fear Cards will help you reach new levels of Panic with easier victory conditions. If you meet the current victory condition at any time, you win immediately. The invaders have then taken more than they can handle and all leave the island. You can lose in 3 ways: too much land has been destroyed, a spirit has been destroyed, or time has expired. Try to prevent that together and save the island!
