You have been crowned king of a beautiful little country of rolling hills, winding rivers and fertile farmlands. Life could be so beautiful, but unfortunately there are disputes with surrounding states. Various princes try to expand their kingdom at the expense of each other! Only one will win... In Dominion you try to form the strongest possible deck during the game, so that you have the most points at the end of the game. The cards in your deck always rotate from your draw pile to your hand, after which they go to your discard pile. When your draw pile is empty, shuffle your discard pile so that you have a new draw pile. Each turn you may perform 1 action and make 1 purchase. Every turn you buy additional cards, so you can achieve your goal in your own way. Do you go for a constructive method with the Forge, the Village and the Market, or do you try a more aggressive way with the Witch or the Militia? Because only 10 of the 26 kingdom cards are used in each game, Dominion is different every time. The Games Friends: “ If we could only take a few games to a desert island, Dominion would probably be one of them. Due to the enormous number of expansions you can keep rotating and have a different game every time. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!"

In the second game of the series that started with Sea Salt & Paper, the aim is to place your cards as cleverly as possible in a 3 by 3 grid and score the most points. You take turns taking cards from a central market and you always ask yourself: what do I need and which cards do I not want in my opponents' tableau? A nice puzzle game, with illustrations that transport you to a dreamy landscape full of wood elves and other friendly creatures. Pixies plays quickly and is easy to explain.

The rules for the four colored rows (square fields) and the game flow are exactly the same as in the original game. The players take turns one after the other and carry out their actions. At the end of the game, points are awarded for the four regular colored rows and 5 points are deducted for each failed roll. The bonus rows (round spaces) are not scored separately, but checked bonus spaces count for both adjacent colored rows. This way you can have many more crosses per colored row and therefore score more points per color (max. 120)! NB! You can use these score blocks in combination with Qwixx the Card Game and Qwixx the Dice Game!

Variant of the popular, tactical dice game Clever. The rules of Dice zo Clever are the same as those of the basic Clever game, but new color categories provide variation and a different game experience. One of the players always rolls the dice and enters one of his dice in the corresponding category. Each category earns points in a different way. He must choose wisely and pay close attention to the remaining dice. He must serve each die with a lower result on the silver tray to the other players. They may therefore also be able to score important points. The Games Friends: “ Dice like Clever is the very good successor to Clever. The actions are very different from Clever, but very clear due to the clear symbols. Highly recommended!"

In Pharaon you perform your actions on the Wheel of Actions, in the center of the game board. For all actions you have to pay costs to be able to perform the action and because of the spinning wheel these costs change per round. This means there are many tactical choices to be made. Are you going for the pyramid track or are you trying to meet the goals? You can't do everything, so you will have to plan actions well. The Games Friends: " Pharaon is a surprisingly fun board game with simple rules. The rotating wheel means there are many tough choices, because the wheel can give you a discount (if you plan it well). Due to the relatively short playing time, Pharaon comes to us regularly on the table. All that makes Pharaon highly recommended. "
