Silly Seance is a cooperative party game in which players try to figure out how the ghost met his (funny) end. Receive a vision by drawing a card and describing it to the other players. Then, place the card face down on the table, and once all the cards have been described, discuss what happened with the other players. Your mission is to ensure the spirit can pass on to the next life by telling the story in the correct order. Together with the other players, try to arrange the cards (still face down) chronologically. Once the cards are arranged as desired, it's time to reveal them. Players score points for placing cards in the correct order.

You remember a huge wave that swept you overboard, and soon you lost sight of the ship. You are lucky to be alive. But where are you? Is this place inhabited and do ships sail by? Will you ever return to your homeland? And can you even survive here? Washed Ashore is a story-driven solo adventure in which the player takes on the role of the main character who is shipwrecked and stranded on a deserted island. The player reads parts of the story on cards and makes decisions related to those situations, the consequences of which are revealed to the player either immediately or over time. As the player progresses through the game and follows the story map after map, he finds or creates resources that he can use further to achieve the goals of the game. The game consists of several parts/chapters, in which the main character tries to get off the island, discovers a tribe of natives and lives with them, and tries to sail to his homeland on a ship that has sailed to the islands.

Witchcraft! is a fast-playing, card-driven solo game where you lead a coven of witches in a fantasy world where magic is real - and so are monsters. Based on the hidden/revealed mechanic of Resist! you decide when to use magic to defeat the challenges you encounter. As you complete missions and defeat enemies, you try to prove to the villagers that magic is not evil and convince a jury that you are protecting the village. Three judges will decide your fate and their conviction is strong. Can you convince them? Or will evil conquer you and the village? At the start of the game you assemble a coven of witches from families of women, represented by a deck of cards. By selecting multiple witches from a family, you make that family more powerful. Each family focuses on different tasks in the game - revealing challenges, increasing attack power, discovering the judges' beliefs, or capturing familiars to help you in your battle. The battle is real and each of the eight judges faces a different villain. Is it the Headless Horseman, Baba Yaga, the Scarecrow or some other monster? The setup sees you choose three judges, their missions and their unique challenges - offering 56 possible combinations with great variety in the types of challenges and monsters you'll encounter. If you fail two missions or lose five villagers, you lose the game. Even if you beat the missions, you still have to go through the trial and you won't know your fate for sure until you reveal the conviction of the judges and see if you've done enough to convince them.

Each turn, players must decide whether to move one of their rats up to five spaces, or whether to move multiple rats up to three spaces – which is only possible if the rats end their move on spaces of the same color.

Each player starts with a deck of ten cards: 1s and 2s in six mismatched suits and four high-value cards, each in a different suit. Each player draws a hand of seven cards, and then presents the best exhibit by matching suits and numbers, e.g. red 11, red 1, purple 1, purple 13. Each card you play earns you $1, and in turn players can buy cards from the gallery piles: a 2 costs $2, a 3 $3, etc. Once per turn, you can bury a top card in a gallery pile at the bottom of that pile.

The kingdom is splintered, the cities are divided and the people are suspicious. The newly crowned ruler, El Cascadero, strives to reunite the country, but he can't do it alone. Therefore, he appoints four ministers to visit the population and restore civil harmony. While the ministers are obliged to bring prosperity to the entire country, each of them also has one dedicated responsibility: Agriculture, Crafts, Mining and Markets. El Cascadero also records the successes of his ministers in his book... Cascadero is the next epic tile placement board game from acclaimed designer Reiner Knizia. Ministers visit cities by placing their envoys next to them; but cities distrust single envoys, so newly placed envoys will only activate city points if they are part of an established group. Cities with Royal Messengers or a history of envoy visits are even more valuable, as they like to work together for even greater successes. Players must choose between two competing strategies: build long chains of their envoys to achieve synergies and objectives, or create smaller, separate groups of envoys to activate city points in time. Both strategies award victory points, but your victory points mean nothing if you don't reach the end of your designated success column. Activating city points moves you along that city's corresponding success column, gaining bonuses as you go over it. Bonuses include earning victory points, advancing on each success column, claiming an official seal, moving an envoy, or even gaining an extra turn. Through careful timing and clever planning, players can trigger a cascade of exciting bonuses that tilt the momentum in their favor. Cascadero offers a wealth of replayability through player interaction, variable board and tile setups, and an advanced player mode with traveling heralds. Yet the game always ends in two ways: when a player reaches fifty victory points or when he has to place a tile but has no more tiles. The players who reach the end of their designated success column are eligible for victory, and whoever of them has the most victory points wins.

The king is on holiday. He has entrusted the city and its treasure to the prince. The bandits know it and plan to line their pockets... or at least try! Are you going to play as a prince or a bandit? Brigands is an asymmetrical game of deduction and deception that pits a prince against rival gangs of bandits. The prince must protect the city's coffers from the bandits. If no bandit manages to steal 50 ducats from the kingdom by the end of the 6 game turns, the prince is the winner! Otherwise, the richest bandit wins. On a turn, each player sends his 3 crew members to his chosen neighborhoods. The choice is secret and simultaneous. When everyone has made their decision, it's time to reveal the choices and place all the crew members in the city. When the prince's crew finds itself in the same neighborhood as the bandits, thieves are arrested before they can hope to get richer. Otherwise they can plunder the neighborhood. Each district allows you to rob the treasure in a unique way. Note that if someone has played an action token on the district at the beginning of their turn, they can steal or push crew, or perhaps run to another district at the last minute. Once in prison, thieves can choose to wait out trial or try to escape. The prince player will improve his skills throughout the game to get his treasure back or catch bandits better.

Players in Tiger & Dragon draw tiles from their hand to participate in waves of attack and defense. Be the first player to clear their hand to score points based on one of the ten score cards used in this round. The game contains 38 tiles: 36 numbered tiles with one 1, two 2's, etc. up to eight 8's, along with a tiger and a dragon. Shuffle the tiles face down, then each player takes tiles based on the number of players, with the starting player taking one additional tile. For example, with four players, the starting player takes ten tiles and all other players take nine. At least one tile remains out of play. The starting player attacks by playing a tile from their hand. The next player can choose to either pass or defend the attack by playing the same tile. Note that the dragon defends against every odd numbered tile and the tiger against every even numbered tile. After defending, you place your own tile to attack. If a player passes, the next player can either pass or defend. If all other players pass your attack, place a tile from your hand face down and then choose a new tile to attack again. When attacking with the dragon or tiger, a player can defend with any odd- or even-numbered tile, respectively. The first player to empty their hand wins the round and scores points based on the last tile they played and the specific scorecard for that round. They get 1 bonus point for each time their attack remained undefended. At the end of a round, if a player has scored 10+ points, they win.
