The heroes will also have to deal with game-changing events and elemental disruptions, such as volcanoes and cyclones. The game is scenario-based and can be played as individual, replayable scenarios or as a steadily evolving campaign leading to major boss battles, hero challenges and more. Kingdom Rush offers easy-to-learn rules with a high level of tactics for experienced players.

DC Spyfall is an easy-to-learn party game based on the social party game Spyfall. It contains elements of bluff, questions and clever answers. At the start of each round, players receive a secret card containing information about the group's location - one of twenty unique DC locations, including Arkham Asylum, the Daily Planet, the Hall of Justice and STAR Labs - except for one player, who receives the Joker card instead. The Joker doesn't know where he is, but if he can guess his location before his cover is discovered, he wins the round! DC Spyfall adds some twists to the Spyfall format. Since Harley Quinn usually follows the Joker, one player can receive a location card with a Harley image in each round. If this is the case, they will try to give the Joker player information about the location, even if they don't know that player's identity! If the Joker player guesses the location, the two collaborators score points - unless the superheroes can turn the tables and determine who Harley is. The game features two multiverse decks with eight different locations each instead of just one, which can confuse players with some questions and answers. Keep in mind that no one at the table knows if they are playing with a multiverse deck. A full Joker deck gives each player a Joker card, meaning all questions and answers are based on nothing more than what the players collectively believe. Just like with the multiverse decks, you don't know you're playing this deck until someone discovers it. Super power cards can give a player an ability for a round, such as dodging a question, or require a player to adjust their behavior; for example, Super Speed ​​forces a player to answer a question in three words or less.

Welcome to Machi Koro town. You have just been elected mayor. Congratulations! Unfortunately, the residents have some pretty big demands: jobs, an amusement park, a few cheese factories, and maybe even a radio tower. A difficult proposition, since the city currently consists of only a wheat field, a bakery and a single die. Armed with only your trusty dice and a dream, you must grow Machi Koro into the largest city in the region. You will have to collect income from developments, build public works and steal money from your neighbors' safes. Just make sure they don't do the same to you! Machi Koro is a fast game for 2-4 players. Each player wants to develop the city on their own terms to complete all the under-construction sights faster than their rivals. In turn, players roll one or two dice. If the sum of rolls matches the number of a building a player owns, they gain that building's effect; in some cases, opponents will also benefit from your throw (just as you can benefit from theirs). Then, with money in hand, a player can build a landmark or a new building, preferably increasing the prosperity of their city in the future. The first player to build all their landmarks wins!

Reiner Knizia's auction game about film production. Over four rounds, players bid on tokens representing real directors, actors, cameras, effects, music, guest stars and agents. These are all placed on the players' film strips to complete the film production. So for example a movie might need 2 actors, but no music or effects and so on. When films are completed, the point value is marked and another strip of film is taken. There are two sides each round, where players can choose from offers without paying anything. There are bonus points for the first completed films and the best films, the best directors, even the worst film. The auction continues until one winning bid remains. Players pay into the pot with contracts, and the rest of the players share the pot each turn. So it's a closed economy where players try to time bidding for what they really need to complete movies.

The Gig is a game in which players are members of a jazz group who improvise their way through a song, competing to take the spotlight and please the crowd while creating amazing solos! The game consists of six rounds, also called "numbers". In each song, players count down, roll and place dice in real time to get symbols and create patterns. When a player has placed all four of his dice, he shouts "Take it to the bridge!" and other players must stop rerolling and place the remaining dice. After all the dice have been placed, players can add the shape their dice have formed to their instrument's unique solo board, which offers a different challenge and method of scoring. Players can use symbols obtained from the number and their solo boards to quickly change their dice, save them for end-of-game scoring, or spend them to purchase audience cards, each representing a newly acquired fan that gives you a different way to score points at the end of the game. After the six-song setlist has been played, the player with the most points earned from their solo, audience cards, harmonies and symbol sets wins.

You lead a great civilization at the height of its influence, but can you save it from collapse? In Empire's End, 2-4 players battle to keep disaster at bay. Empire's End combines the intuitive and elegant mechanics of reverse bidding with engine building, long-term planning and strategic depth. The result is a fast-paced game with abundant tension and multiple challenging paths to victory. Players start with a civilization at the height of its power. The game progresses through a series of stages that vary as you progress through the game. During the Disaster Phase, players face a common threat, such as famine, a flood, or barbarians. The player who ends the bidding must take the ramp, which destroys one of their territories. With every disaster that strikes an empire, its people grow in wisdom and resilience. In the manner of the modern classic game "No Thanks", the resources offered by all players will ultimately accrue to the player who ultimately takes the disaster card. That player will also gain a new ability, an innovation that reflects their empire's adaptability in times of challenge. Each turn, players move along a progression track that determines whether they face a disaster or another type of stage. Players can obtain new resources during production phases, rebuild lost territories during industry phases, and challenge each other during military phases. At the end of the progress track, the game ends and the winner is the civilization with the most victory points. Intact areas contribute to points, but innovations and military successes can provide alternative ways to win.

Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1980: a vibrant city of music, food and magic. Neon lights flicker in dirty puddles along Bourbon Street; the innovations of the modern world collide with old and terrible traditions; and murder is never far away. Staffed with a roster of brilliant, colorful, and ultimately flawed private investigators, the Beaumont Agency specializes in solving cases that no one else can crack. In The Dark Quarter, an app-based cooperative adventure game set in the dark 1980s New Orleans, players each take control of a Beaumont cop and work together to solve the worst crimes New Orleans has to offer. It is a world full of magic, where curses are sold on every street corner, where voodoo priestesses and creatures of the night lurk, and where even the most mundane crimes have a hint of the supernatural. Through multi-scenario campaigns, the game tells a rich, dynamic story and invites players to make crucial decisions that not only affect their characters, but also change the direction and course of the story. The characters are not simple avatars that can be easily moved from scenario to scenario; instead, they are woven into the core of the story itself. Their fate and the fate of New Orleans are inextricably linked.
