Brass Birmingham is played in 2 eras: the canal era and the railway era. Just like in the Industrial Revolution, you make connections through channels at the beginning of the game. In the second era, railways are available and you can expand your network via rail. In both eras you build and develop different industries, trade goods, receive income and try to earn the most points! Due to the random design, no two games are the same. The bonuses are different per location and the cards in your hand are also different every game. Each turn you can choose from 2 of the 6 actions. For every action you take, you must discard a card from your hand. You continue to do this until the draw pile runs out, at which point the era ends. The player who spent the least on their turn starts the next turn, so be smart about what you spend your money on!

Earthborne Rangers is a customizable, cooperative card game set in the wilderness of the distant future. You take on the role of a Ranger, a protector of the mountain valley you call home: a vast wilderness transformed by monumental feats of science and technology devised long ago to save Earth from destruction. You start by building a deck that reflects your Ranger's interests, personal history, and personality. Then, as you explore the open world and your story takes shape, expand your deck with upgraded gear, refined skills, and memories of your journey. The story of Earthborne Rangers is presented as a branching campaign with a main story and numerous side stories. Here you can choose to follow the critical path or go your own way to discover the Valley's many fascinating characters, mysterious ruins and creatures, both familiar and strange. Each play session represents one day in the Valley, and you start at the same location on the map where you rested the previous night. Your goal is to either complete one of your available missions or explore the open world. The session ends when you are forced to rest (due to fatigue or injury), or when you choose to rest for the night. An individual gaming session is played in rounds, and those rounds consist of turns. On your turn, you perform one action: play a card from your hand or choose an action from a card on the table. Every action allows you to interact with the world thematically and narratively, and every time you take an action the world around you comes to life. Predators stalk their prey, rain falls from the sky, rocks tumble down the mountain to block your path, and much more.

Lost among the surreal and bizarre unknowns of the far reaches of space, your crew of explorers must band together to discover the necessary means to survive the long journey home. Unsettled is a cooperative survival adventure for 2-4 players set in the wondrous and foreboding fringes of uncharted space. There are no enemies and no combat, just an environment where every step, every breath, every particle around you can mean an instant, terrifying death. Enemies are the least of your worries. In these incredible conditions, you must complete a series of tasks necessary for your survival. Perhaps the ship's water reclamation system needs repairs, or (as usual) food supplies are running low. Before you lies a strange alien landscape - it's up to you to complete these tasks using... whatever you find out there. Each time you play, you'll have to complete a different combination of survival tasks, and the things you discover (and their strange properties) will be different too. So while you always know what problems you need to solve, you have no idea how you're going to use the world around you to do that (or what the world is going to do to you while you try). As you explore the environment and encounter wild and unique opportunities along the way, you will work closely with the rest of your crew to achieve your goal of survival. The only thing you can be sure of is each other; lose that trust and you lose all hope of survival.

"Quick to the ship! Twelve houses from our city have already burned down!" In Evacuation, life on our planet is being wiped out by the increasingly intense solar radiation, so everyone is trying to move all the people and factories in their areas from the "old" planet to a new one - and they have only four rounds to do so. You start the game with a fully functioning economy, and throughout the game you must dismantle and move that economy. Income on the old planet decreases over time, and production probably won't be much better until you establish yourself on the new planet and get things going. Resources cannot be mixed between the planets, so you must pay special attention to your planning. To do this, you choose actions from the player board, with the expert variant adding cards that allow you to choose and combine additional actions. Each action has its own value, and the sum of these actions is important for a bonus at the end of the round. Additionally, players move their markers along the planet's orbit based on the value of their actions. If you can increase the production of three resources to level 8 and have three virtual reality machines on the new planet, you win. Otherwise, players compare their scores after four rounds. Evacuation contains modules to add new play options.

Vindication is a highly strategic, fantasy board game for 2-5 players. Playing time is 15-30 minutes per player. After being thrown overboard and living a life of misery, you find yourself washed up on a hostile island full of ruins - completely alone, with nothing but the breath in your lungs and a fearless spirit. Through clever resource management, you'll add sidekicks to your party, acquire bizarre relics, gain powerful character traits, and defeat an array of unusual monsters, with the ultimate goal of mastering heroic traits and regaining honor. You can perform 3 actions during each turn in the order you find most beneficial for that turn: activate a minion, travel to a new location, and interact with a tile. Many actions require using your influence to gain attributes. For example, you can meditate near a tower to gain inspiration. You can train in a fortress to receive power. You can also combine your inspiration and strength to gain courage, which allows you to carry out a bounty hunt. There are signature endgame triggers that can be affected by game play, over 72 unique card abilities that can be combined in unusual ways for powerful combinations, and a new tile placement each time for high replayability.

We are in the 19th century, sea transport is becoming increasingly important. Both companies and naval units need increasingly newer ships. Try to put yourself in the role of their manufacturers. Hire employees, buy accessories and gain favor with the review committees. Don't forget to rent a dock and weigh anchor. Players take turns, starting with a random player and then moving around the table. In turn, they choose one of the available actions from the Action Track. The action gives the player something they need to build their ships. On the player's next turn, they advance that Action card over all the others and choose a different action. When a player completes a ship on their turn (ships consist of small cards depicting bows, stern and (preferably multiple) center sections, with various options to add equipment or crew), it is launched for a sea trial in the channel, where they can score points for speed, crew, equipment or safety. As players take their turns, the row of Action Cards slides around the Action Track. When the leading Action card returns to the Starting position, the countdown marker moves down one space and play continues. The game ends when the countdown marker reaches the end position. (It can also end early if the players run out of Ship Cards.) Bonus points are scored for Government Contracts, and the player with the most points wins. The game takes approximately 30 minutes per player.

We return to where it all began. After the board games Resident Evil 2 (2019) and Resident Evil 3 (2021), Resident Evil: The Board Game (2023) brings the sinister Spencer Mansion to the game board in a terrifying open world campaign. Based on the 2002 remake of the original Resident Evil video game, Resident Evil: The Board Game is a cooperative board game for 1-4 players. Built on the survival horror engine of the two previous board games, Resident Evil: The Board Game introduces plenty of new and updated mechanics to keep you on your toes. Solve ingenious new puzzles by unlocking doors, build the mansion's floor plan as you walk around, send characters on worthwhile missions and more. Setup is quick, as each scenario starts with just a few tiles. As you explore and open doors, you expand the map, opening new paths and discovering useful items... and deadly enemies. Resident Evil: The Board Game is a campaign game that lasts approximately 27 hours, where every decision counts and has far-reaching consequences. Every resource must be managed, every bullet must be counted. Fighting is not the only way to survive. You will have to decide when to attack and when to flee. But you don't always get a choice!

But effects don't just happen over time. Tension cards can change enemy behavior at any time, suddenly making them more deadly. Little time? Each scenario of Resident Evil: The Board Game is also playable as a one-time session of 60-90 minutes. In the darkness lie your fears. Can you fight them and survive?

Years before the War of the Ring, the Dark Lord Sauron attempted to bend the will of the kings and rulers of the Free Peoples through subtle manipulations. His goal was to turn them into powerless puppets, or at least weaken them in preparation for his plans of conquest. When war broke out, they fought valiantly against the Dark Lord, but for some of them the weakness Sauron harbored proved nearly fatal. The role of the rulers of the Free Nations and their weaknesses take center stage in “Kings of Middle-earth,” the third expansion for War of the Ring. Their role in the story is significantly expanded, with new characters and rules bringing Theodén, Denethor, Daìn, Brand and Thranduil to life. Additional rules for siege battles and new units to expand the Shadow Armies are included.

For centuries, the Novarchs, descendants of the royal House of Novarchon, have ruled humanity's galactic empire, the Domineum, with an iron fist. During this time, they brought remarkable technological advancements and scientific breakthroughs to their domain. This accelerated progress helped the Domineum reach and colonize even the furthest reaches of the known galaxy, where new Houses emerged to rule the outer sectors of the Empire. As the House of Novarchon grew in power, so did the religious cult surrounding them, making dire predictions about an ancient cosmic being from another dimension: the Voidborn. Many considered it just a myth, but in reality it was the dark influence of the Voidborn that gave the Novarchs the knowledge to accelerate the expansion of the empire. While the sect of the Novarchs dreamed of eternal life through the agency of the supernatural being, the Voidborn's sole purpose was to satisfy its eternal hunger. And so, interdimensional fissures opened in the heart of the Domineum to unleash cosmic corruption. As the House of Novarchon and its followers welcomed the Voidborn and sought their false redemption, the creature spread and seized control of the inner worlds. Now it's time for the remaining Great Houses to fight galactic corruption, prevent the Voidborn from fully manifesting in our dimension, and ultimately overcome the chaos and become the new rulers of the Domineum. Voidfall is a 4X game that brings the genre to the tables of Euro enthusiasts. It combines the excitement and player interaction of the 4X genre with the resource management, informed decisions and minimal luck factor of an economic Euro. Win by pushing back the Voidborn in solo/co-op mode, or by overcoming the influence of your rivals and restoring the Domineum in competitive mode, with both modes using the same rules and game system. Variability is guaranteed by multiple playable houses with their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as many different map setups for all game modes. As the leader, you'll play through three cycles, each with a game-changing galactic event, a new scoring requirement, and a set number of focus cards to play. By selecting two of their three impactful actions as you play them, you develop and improve technologies; make progress on your civilization tracks; manage the infrastructure, population and production of your sectors; and conquer your new sectors with up to five different types of space fleets. Space battles are fought against the infected forces of the Voidborn (who are even present as neutral opponents in competitive mode) or against other players. Instead of relying on the luck of a dice roll, the battles reward careful preparation and cleverly outsmarting your opponents.

In Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa, a dynamic, interactive Eurogame, 1-4 players run the prestigious University of Sankoré in 14th-century Timbuktu.

A special solo mode pits you against the "Distinguished Scholar", a passionate and ambitious academic controlled by an elegant automated system. They may not be as agile as you, but they are focused and driven and strive to produce the best students possible. Can you navigate the halls of academic competition and make Mansa Musa's esteemed university famous?

In “In My Father's Work,” players compete as mad scientists tasked with a page from their father's diary and a vast estate in which to conduct their diabolical experiments. Players earn points by completing experiments, aiding the city in its efforts, upgrading their macabre estates, and hopefully completing their father's masterpiece. But they must balance study and active experimentation, because at the end of each generation all their experiments and resources are lost in time, until their child starts over with only the "Recorded Knowledge and Estate" they left behind. Since the game takes place over three generations, it is inevitable that the players will summon the townspeople to form angry mobs or descend into madness over the ethically dubious works they have created. The player with the most points at the end of three generations wins and becomes the most revered, feared, genius scientist the world has ever known!
