An abstract strategy game for two players in which you try to line up five rings of your color to win. To start, arrange the four 3x3 tiles randomly in a 6x6 grid. Each cell of the grid has a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line on it. The first player places one of their rings on an unoccupied space, and the line in that space indicates the direction in which the opponent should place their ring: vertically, horizontally, or diagonally in line with the newly placed ring. If the opponent cannot place a ring in this direction because every square in this line is occupied, then the opponent can place a ring in any unoccupied square. If you manage to place a ring between two opponent's rings, you change the opposite rings to your color. If the board is full and no one has managed to create a row of five rings in their color, the player with the largest orthogonally connected group of rings wins.

For centuries, the Novarchs, descendants of the royal House of Novarchon, have ruled humanity's galactic empire, the Domineum, with an iron fist. During this time, they brought remarkable technological advancements and scientific breakthroughs to their domain. This accelerated progress helped the Domineum reach and colonize even the furthest reaches of the known galaxy, where new Houses emerged to rule the outer sectors of the Empire. As the House of Novarchon grew in power, so did the religious cult surrounding them, making dire predictions about an ancient cosmic being from another dimension: the Voidborn. Many considered it just a myth, but in reality it was the dark influence of the Voidborn that gave the Novarchs the knowledge to accelerate the expansion of the empire. While the sect of the Novarchs dreamed of eternal life through the agency of the supernatural being, the Voidborn's sole purpose was to satisfy its eternal hunger. And so, interdimensional fissures opened in the heart of the Domineum to unleash cosmic corruption. As the House of Novarchon and its followers welcomed the Voidborn and sought their false redemption, the creature spread and seized control of the inner worlds. Now it's time for the remaining Great Houses to fight galactic corruption, prevent the Voidborn from fully manifesting in our dimension, and ultimately overcome the chaos and become the new rulers of the Domineum. Voidfall is a 4X game that brings the genre to the tables of Euro enthusiasts. It combines the excitement and player interaction of the 4X genre with the resource management, informed decisions and minimal luck factor of an economic Euro. Win by pushing back the Voidborn in solo/co-op mode, or by overcoming the influence of your rivals and restoring the Domineum in competitive mode, with both modes using the same rules and game system. Variability is guaranteed by multiple playable houses with their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as many different map setups for all game modes. As the leader, you'll play through three cycles, each with a game-changing galactic event, a new scoring requirement, and a set number of focus cards to play. By selecting two of their three impactful actions as you play them, you develop and improve technologies; make progress on your civilization tracks; manage the infrastructure, population and production of your sectors; and conquer your new sectors with up to five different types of space fleets. Space battles are fought against the infected forces of the Voidborn (who are even present as neutral opponents in competitive mode) or against other players. Instead of relying on the luck of a dice roll, the battles reward careful preparation and cleverly outsmarting your opponents.

Earthborne Rangers is a customizable, cooperative card game set in the wilderness of the distant future. You take on the role of a Ranger, a protector of the mountain valley you call home: a vast wilderness transformed by monumental feats of science and technology devised long ago to save Earth from destruction. You start by building a deck that reflects your Ranger's interests, personal history, and personality. Then, as you explore the open world and your story takes shape, expand your deck with upgraded gear, refined skills, and memories of your journey. The story of Earthborne Rangers is presented as a branching campaign with a main story and numerous side stories. Here you can choose to follow the critical path or go your own way to discover the Valley's many fascinating characters, mysterious ruins and creatures, both familiar and strange. Each play session represents one day in the Valley, and you start at the same location on the map where you rested the previous night. Your goal is to either complete one of your available missions or explore the open world. The session ends when you are forced to rest (due to fatigue or injury), or when you choose to rest for the night. An individual gaming session is played in rounds, and those rounds consist of turns. On your turn, you perform one action: play a card from your hand or choose an action from a card on the table. Every action allows you to interact with the world thematically and narratively, and every time you take an action the world around you comes to life. Predators stalk their prey, rain falls from the sky, rocks tumble down the mountain to block your path, and much more.

This game is highly recommended! The aim of the game is simple: get 5 coins in a row with the cards that your teammate or you will play 1 by 1. The strategic and fun thing about it is that you have to think about your own victory, but also block the opponent. Otherwise it will cost you your victory. The game is very easy to explain to others and is different every time. A small disadvantage: the box looks extremely boring, which initially made my fellow players and I unenthusiastic about playing. Fortunately, the content is good!
