I came across a midnight market. It did not sell flowers or agricultural goods. It was a stranger kind of charge: energy capacitors, strange crystalline material, and something green and jiggly. Since then I have been drawn into it, deep into its depths. I paid a stranger more than I should have for manufacturing plans I barely understood. Even worse, they sold the same stuff to my best friend. Now I need to get my supply lines up and running to prepare to ship my cargo. And if my friend starts shipping some of this Curious Cargo, I'll have to intercept their trucks and corner the market. By hook or by crook, I'm going to be the king of Curious Cargo. Curious Cargo is a two-player game where you compete against your opponent by building your facility's infrastructure, deploying trucks at the right time while perfectly timing the shipment and receipt of cargo to score the most points . Connect an interwoven network of lines to your shipping and receiving areas. Send your custom-made cargo tokens to your opponent to disrupt their logistics plans! For your first game, we recommend playing in day mode, which uses 2-color conveyor belt tiles. For the night mode, the purple crystalline material is introduced for an advanced experience by using all 3 colors on the conveyor belt tiles! The enigmatic nature of Ryan Courtney's Pipeline comes to life in Curious Cargo! With 6 unique player boards for each player and 2 game modes, a skilled challenge awaits even the fiercest competitor.

Each round a new company comes into play and each company has its own rules. This means there is a lot of diversity in a game of Ride the Rails. All this makes Ride the Rails a game with simple rules (the explanation is only 1 sheet of paper), but there are still plenty of strategic choices to be made.

Every year, the graduating classes of the School of Magic compete to conquer the Tower of the County of Ravens. Each class tries to be the first to reach the legendary Ravens Tower using magic. But the road to Raven's Tower is full of pitfalls and challenges. Only the class that uses the magical skills correctly and masters the art of making the towers fly will graduate as a master magician. In The Enchanted Towers your goal is to be the first to move all your wizards to the black tower. To achieve this, you must play your hand cards wisely to move your wizards and the various towers on the course. If you capture your opponents' wizards by placing a tower over them, you will receive magic vials as a reward. You can use these bottles once at a later point in the game for extra bonus actions. To free a captured wizard, you must move the tower parts above. The game ends when you have collected five magic vials and all your wizards have reached the black tower. In addition to playing against each other, the game also includes a team game variant in which you work together with other players. Additionally, you can choose to add a master sorcerer or play a variant with additional spells. The beautiful artwork by Michael Menzel completes the gaming experience.

Irish Gauge - one of three titles in Winsome Games 2014 Essen Set - is played on a map of Ireland and is similar in style to many of the stock-based cube track games released by Winsome Games since 2007. Each player's turn can trade with one of the five companies up for auction, build a track (represented by cubes) in one of these five companies, upgrade a village to a city, or ask for a dividend. The dividends are paid to shareholders of certain railways based on the number of cities/towns they are connected to and how many shares of this company have been issued. The upgrade and dividend promotions also affect the playing time and the likelihood of further dividends for each company. The game ends when a certain condition is met at the end of a player's turn and the player with the highest sum of money and stock value at the end of that turn wins the game. Irish Gauge is the first title in Capstone Games' Iron Rail series.
