Welcome to the Island of Trains, where you are the conductor and builder of one of the island's locomotives. You will build trains and load a range of goods to complete contracts on the island, as well as ferry passengers to their destinations. Isle of Trains: All Aboard is an engine-building game where cards have multiple purposes: you can use cards as locomotives, trucks, passenger carriages or buildings to improve the effectiveness and capabilities of your train. Cards can also be spent to pay for the construction of your new train cars and buildings, or you can use your cards as freight and load them onto available trucks. You will also have different passengers who want to be taken to different destinations. You will randomly draw these passengers from a bag when building passenger cars and certain locomotives. You can then load passengers into any available passenger car. When passengers are delivered to their destination, you will immediately receive powerful bonuses! Loading freight and passengers onto opposing trains is important on the Island of Trains, as it also gives you extra bonuses on that turn! But this will bring other train conductors one step closer to completing their goals by giving them freight or passengers that they can then use for deliveries and points! The game ends when a certain number of contracts have been completed or a certain number of passengers have been delivered. You win by scoring the most points, which you earn by building your train, completing contracts and delivering passengers. Isle of Trains: All Aboard is all about balancing the need to upgrade your train, loading freight or passengers onto opponent trains for big bonuses, and delivering freight and passengers to their destination before anyone else does. Build your train effectively enough to be remembered as the best train conductor on the Island of Trains!

Solar Sphere is a game in which you place dice, manage your resources and collect sets. It is set hundreds of years in the future in a time when competition will advance humanity, but when cooperation is sometimes necessary. In Solar Sphere, each player controls a mothership. Their primary task is to build a dyson sphere. But because you have to hire a crew and because there are also aliens attacking the sphere, there are many other ways to earn prestige and become the savior of humanity. In this game, players can manipulate their dice using drones. However, players have a limited supply of drones, which are also used to upgrade places or assist in battles against aliens. Players can always recycle used drones to get them back into their inventory. Players simultaneously start their turn by rolling their dice. Dice act as spacecraft and are sent to locations to gather resources, build the Dyson Sphere, build or recycle drones, upgrade workplaces, hire crews and fight aliens. Your crew comes with their own unique perks that will help players in different areas. Link crew skills to build a good engine and retire them for extra benefits. As the game progresses, more aliens will arrive. Battle them, or team up with other players and share the rewards. However, if no one stands up to the rebel aliens, you will all lose points. Solar Sphere combines several mechanics and has a powerful theme to provide players with an immersive experience.
