In this well-known laying game, the players jointly build the French city of Carcassonne with all its roads, towns, monasteries and meadows. By deploying serfs they score points for completed projects. Each turn you place one land tile and you may place one follower on it. Which type it is depends on the tile. There are tiles with road sections, monasteries, city districts and/or meadow sections. In principle, there may not be more than one follower on a project, but if two unfinished parts are built together, it can still happen that more followers end up on them. Whoever has the most followers on a completed project immediately receives points. Different rules apply to the number of points to be received for each type of project. The game ends when all tiles have been placed. Whoever has the most points wins. Carcassonne is loved by both families and experienced players because it has sufficient depth despite the simple rules. The touch of luck gives everyone the opportunity to participate in the win until the end. The Games Friends: “ Carcassonne is of course a classic and we completely understand why. During Carcassonne you can relax and try to create the most beautiful landscape possible, while of course trying to outdo your opponent(s). Due to the many expansions, a game of Carcassonne is never the same and you can make the game as extensive as you want. Indispensable in every games cupboard!"

Development cards, the longest continuous route and the largest knight force also earn points. The first person to reach 10 points immediately wins the game!

Once a year, the best miracle doctors and proselytizers come together in Kakelenburg to brew drinks against sweaty feet, homesickness, hiccups and heartbreak. However, every quack cooks his own soup here. Each player draws ingredients from his own supply bag, composed during the course of the game, until he thinks his drink is perfect. But be careful: a few popping peas and the whole drink will explode. So it is better to stop in time and cook a smaller portion and use the proceeds to purchase valuable ingredients. In this way, the supply bag fills with more and more useful ingredients, which may make the next drink even better and earn more points. In this game with more than 2000 combination options, the proven deckbuilding system is combined with the popular “push your luck” mechanism. The Games Friends: “ The Kwakzalvers van Kakelenburg is a fantastic game, where you have to make many tactical choices and need a little bit of luck. Normally we would find that element of luck a shame, but because at Kwakzalvers you have plenty of options to avoid it, it doesn't bother us at all. Kwakzalvers is really great!"

In Stay Cool, your fellow players bombard you with questions and the player who answers the most questions wins. These are absolutely not difficult questions that require in-depth knowledge. There are everyday questions, personal questions, but also agility or speed assignments. If you are a bit astute or resourceful, you will have no problem answering the questions quickly. Sure, there's a timer running, but nothing else to worry about, right? The challenge of the game is that two people ask you questions at the same time! You also have to answer them in two different ways. Answer your left neighbor's question out loud while you "write down" the answer to your right neighbor's question by spelling out dice with the letters on them. While you do this, another player will set a 30-second hourglass four times, giving you a total of two minutes to answer as many questions as possible. At the end of that time, multiply the number of correct answers you gave to the questions from the left and right together to determine your score. The winner is the one who answers the most questions correctly in 3 rounds and thus scores the most points. You can play this party game with 3 to 7 players. Perfect for a fun evening of multitasking with friends or family. The Games Friends: "You have to be quite stress-resistant to win Stay Cool, but it is still a lot of fun to do. During the game you often lose the overview, but you still have to keep going and try to answer as many questions as possible. Highly recommended for the right group!"

Many centuries ago, the Greek, Persian, and Assyrian empires controlled vast amounts of land and wealth. But despite their fortifications and imposing armies, rumors began to spread about a formidable enemy in the lands above the Black Sea. They came on horseback. Fierce warriors, both male and female. Skilled with sword, ax and bow. But they were not mindless savages. Their craftsmen were known for their ability to create detailed trinkets from gold. They made leather armor and other weapons. They trained eagles for hunting and war. Some even believe they were the inspiration for the Greek stories of the Amazons. But they were more than a legend or fable. They were the Robbers of Scythia. The aim of Rovers of Scythia is to be the player with the most Victory Points (VP) at the end of the game. VP are obtained by raiding settlements, taking plunder and completing missions. Players must assemble a crew, train animals and collect supplies. The game ends when there are only 2 unraided settlements or 2 missions left on the main board.

Dense fog creeps over the fields, swallows up entire farms and reaches the city walls. Even the bravest knights shudder and their armor rattles when they hear the nuns' stories: “The mist awakens the restless souls of the Cathars, hunted during the Crusades. And they are coming for justice now!” To restore peace to Carcassonne, the players must work together to put the wandering ghosts to rest. Carcassonne: The Mist is the first version of Carcassonne that can be played cooperatively. By working together, enough points must be collected. You lose as a group if all the tiles are gone or if too many ghosts have ended up on the playing field. With each new tile that features fog, new ghosts come into play. Only by completely closing off a mist field with tiles can the spirits be put to rest. But be careful! The number of tiles is limited and a minimum number of points must be achieved. Carcassonne: The Mist has 6 different levels, with each level introducing new, challenging game elements. The game also contains the rules for the “Ghosts, Castles and Graveyards” variant. Using these rules, Carcassonne: The Mist can be used as a normal extension to the basic game. Plenty of variety for both Carcassonne fans and new players!
