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.

Jerusalem, 33 AD: A crowd gathers at the city gates to welcome Jesus of Nazareth as he prepares to celebrate the Passover seder with his apostles and followers. With a revolutionary message he has gathered followers everywhere, but also aroused suspicion among religious authorities. The Last Supper will soon be celebrated, and the fate of one of the most influential figures in human history will be sealed. In Ierusalem: Anno Domini we represent one of the communities of followers of Jesus of Nazareth who, coming to Jerusalem from nearby towns and villages, want to get closer to the place of the Last Supper and feel as close as possible to the seats of Jesus and his want to position apostles. The closer we are, the more points we earn at the end of the game. We also score for the sacrificial symbols and parable tiles we have collected. Different locations are shown on the board: the market, the desert, the mountain, the lake and the temple. After sending our minions to one of these locations, we get stones, bread and fish, as well as denarii or cards that allow us to perform more than one action. Among these actions, players can choose between listening to a parable, going to the table, changing places or granting a favor. All this is happening while the Sanhedrin is running out of patience. When this happens, as symbolized by a tile moving on a marker, the endgame is activated. However, the most important element of the game are the cards. Each card has a symbol that corresponds to one of the five key locations in the game. As we play them, we form combinations that will allow us to bring the apostles to the table of the Last Supper. The optimal placement of our followers around Jesus and the apostles will also be done through the management of cards, as well as various tools at our disposal. Behind a very compelling theme, Ierusalem: Anno Domini will not disappoint lovers of challenging games. Players have a wide range of options at their fingertips and multiple ways to earn points. Preparing the best strategies to get the most out of your followers will be one of the keys to victory.

OTTO is a surprising game: it is as simple as it is complex. We'd love to tell you about some of the incredible features that make it so special. The game is based on the never-ending connection between all cards. You can literally pick them up and place them randomly on the board: coherent designs with infinite combinations will come to life. But that's not the game. Since the game has no single setting, it can be defined as 'universal', as it is based on the visual perception of symbolic geometries. OTTO is the most abstract game ever, with a unique and original design, perhaps even alien. The game depends on the balance between strategy, the vision of future opportunities, chance and the player's style. While playing OTTO you will always discover new strategies and unpredictable scenarios until the final move.
