In a Grove is a bluffing and deduction game where the player who makes too many false accusations loses the game. The game is played in rounds. Each round, each player receives one of eight silhouettes (numbered 2-8 with one empty), while three silhouettes are placed as suspects in the center of the table and the last silhouette is designated as the victim. You must determine which suspect is the guilty one, either to accuse him or to lure other players into accusing someone who is innocent! All players secretly look at their silhouettes, then pass them to the right and look at the new silhouette they received. The first player of the round secretly looks at two of the three suspects and, if desired, exchanges the victim for one of these suspects. This player then places a colored accusation marker under one of the suspects. The next player looks at the two suspects not marked with an accusation marker, then places their own colored accusation marker, covering any markers already under that suspect. This continues until all four players have placed an accusation marker, with each player not allowed to look at the suspect just accused. The round ends and players reveal the suspects. Who is to blame? The suspect with the highest number - unless the #5 is among the suspects, in which case the suspect with the lowest number is guilty. (The suspect without a number is always innocent.) Anyone who accused the correct suspect gets their charge marker back. Any misplaced markers are turned over with the colored side down and given to the player holding the top marker of the pile. At the end of a turn, if a player has eight or more markers - or has no markers - the game ends and that player loses.

"A party game for terrible people." The game begins with a judge, known as the "Card Czaar", who chooses a black question or fill-in card from the top of the deck and shows it to all players. Each player has a hand of ten white answer cards at the start of each round and deals one card (sometimes two) face down to the Card Czar, representing their answer to the question on the card. The Card Czaar determines which answer card(s) are the funniest in the context of the question or fill-in card. The player who submitted the chosen card(s) is given the Question Card to represent an "Awesome Point", and then the player to the left of the new Card Czaar becomes the new Czaar for the next round. The game continues until the players decide to stop, at which point the player with the most Awesome Points is the winner. So far it sounds like the popular and fairly harmless game "Apples to Apples". Although the games are similar, the humor required is very different. The game encourages players to joke about virtually any uncomfortable or taboo topic, including race, religion, gender, poverty, torture, alcoholism, drugs, sex (yes, really), abortion, child abuse, celebrities, and those everyday little annoyances like “expecting a burp and vomiting on the floor.” Plus, there are a few extra rules. First, some question cards are "Pick 2" or cards, where each participant must submit two cards in order to complete their answer. Secondly, there is also a gambling component. If a question is played that a player thinks has two possible winning answers, he can wager an Awesome Point to play a single second answer. If the betting player wins, he keeps the point wagered, but if he loses, the player who contributed the winning answer takes both points.

In this cooperative game you play as a team of pilots who have to land their passenger plane at airports around the world. But that's definitely not as easy as you think! You must communicate with the control tower to ensure the flight path is clear of air traffic, adjust your speed so as not to overshoot the airport, balance your aircraft to land parallel to the ground, operate your flaps to control lift to raise the plane and land steeper, operate your landing gear to ensure a safe landing and finally brake to stop the aircraft after landing. Collaboration and nerves of steel are required to succeed! Are there two of you, have you always wanted to fly a plane and is the atmosphere better if you don't play against each other but with each other? Then quickly get Sky Team. Although the game is cooperative, you have to make many decisions yourself because firstly the players are not allowed to communicate during the game and secondly the rolled dice are not visible to the other player. The rules are relatively simple, but the decisions you have to make make the game very challenging! In Sky Team you, as a pilot and co-pilot, try to land your plane safely in 7 laps. First you choose an airport and a scenario. Each round you can discuss briefly before rolling the dice. From that moment on, no more communication is allowed and you are not allowed to see each other's dice. You take turns placing a die on, for example, the engines, aircraft flaps, the landing gear or the axle. Each dice laid has its own conditions and consequences. You try to work together and interpret the order in which your colleague places his dice as best as possible. After all dice have been deployed and the plane is still floating in the air, the next round begins. If you reach the airport after 7 laps with the right speed and in a horizontal position, you win the game. But the next tough challenge awaits.

Bruxelles 1893 is a worker placement game with elements of bidding and majority control. Each player is an architect at the end of the 19th century and tries, through various actions, to realize an architectural work in the Art Nouveau style. The most successful building earns the most points. Each player can also create works of art to increase their score. The action board is modular, with not every player having access to every action every turn. Some actions cost money - obtaining high-quality materials, building a level of your personal home, finding a protector, creating a work of art, selling that work of art for money and prestige - while other actions are free but potentially lead to the loss of one of your workers; these last actions include acquiring low-quality materials, activating your patrons, visiting the fair and performing one of the actions with a cost. Once everyone has decided to take no further actions, the round ends and players have an art exhibition in which they can sell works. Players then receive prestige points or bonus cards based on the symbols next to which they have placed their workers on the action board. After five rounds, the game ends and players score bonus points based on their architect level, their bonus cards, how well they completed their work and the money they have with them. The player with the most points wins.

On that one night, in certain rooms, immense treasures appear, granting inestimable wealth to those brave enough to find and claim them. But those who enter this manor do so at their own risk, as some rooms awaken ghosts and curses... Rumors speak of glyphes and sigils only found in the manor on Crimson Moon night; these markers provide hints and clues, both where treasure can be found and where paranormal traps lurk. In Spectral, players control competing groups of treasure hunters. These groups enter the Spectral Manor on the night of the Crimson Moon and race to discover and claim the locations of the treasures before midnight. As they discover and decipher the glyphes, they can avoid chambers where demons secretly slumber and selfishly hide this information from their rivals. Meanwhile, locations in the manor that promise the most treasure will see multiple clans competing for territory. Through deduction, bidding, betting and bluffing, players will uncover and exploit the secrets. The game ends after one player has placed all his treasure hunters or if all players pass in succession. The group that claims the most treasure and avoids cursed rooms emerges victorious. Spectral offers multiple difficulty levels - beginner mode, standard mode and advanced modules - so you can tailor the game to your experience.

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.
