In Tectonic Tribes, five tribes navigate the mysterious world of Joldu, a world where the terrain is still forming and shifting tectonic plates constantly reveal new surprises. Each of these Tectonic Tribes aims to secure territories for themselves. Which tribe will emerge victorious when the terrain settles? Players take turns playing cards in the ever-expanding territory between them. This allows various territories, such as forests, water areas, and diamond mines, to expand. However, because the cards are stacked on top of each other, the territories can also be interrupted. A player can place a tribe card adjacent to a territory and score points this way. But be careful! You only score points if your tribe has the majority of tents adjacent to a territory. If another tribe has more tents adjacent to the same territory, your opponent gets the points and you get nothing. The order in which cards are placed is determined by the number in the corner of the card. The player who plays the highest card is the first to place a territory or tribe card in the territory. At least one and a maximum of five of the territory cards must always overlap with a card already on the table. Try to cleverly expand your own territories and interrupt your opponents' territories so that you end up with the largest tribe and win the game.

Conventions in art are a double-edged sword: a mighty weapon for the skilled user, a deadly trap for the incapable. A true artist knows how to walk this tightrope, balancing extremes with finesse and precision. Become too attached to art in its current form and you will be deemed passé and irrelevant. Innovate too radically and your art will not even be recognised as such, or - if it is - it will be ridiculed and despised. Let your art say new things, while remaining in conversation with the old. Master this paradox. A lively dialogue is key to your success.

‘I’ve had enough of smoked fish for now,’ grumbles the bailiff of a small Dutch town. ‘Bring me some apples to finish the meal.’ His servant looks worried. ‘We have no more apples, sir. The De Witt family has cut peat near our lands, and now the water level in our orchards is too high.’ The bailiff’s face creases into a frown. ‘I’ll go to the Count of Holland and file a complaint. The Count will surely take my side.’ The servant bows and leaves. He knows the Count has just transferred all water-related decisions to a new local court. And the judge in charge there is married to De Witt’s sister… Bailiff of Boskoop is a strategy game set in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period in Rijnland, part of the County of Holland in present-day Netherlands. 2–5 players take on the role of local families. Family members can claim land. Some rise to influential figures, such as village founder, judge, or local duck trader. The family with the most land at the end of the game wins. A game lasts 150–240 minutes.

“These fields no longer yield as much grain as they used to,” complains the farmer. “We need to cultivate new land before our food runs out. Why don’t we start growing olives, just like our neighbors?” The carter nods. “Since those city folk started revering San Giorgio, I have to drive further and further to new construction sites. I’m currently on my way to the new inn they’ve built. There, I’ll change horses and deliver this load,” he nods towards the pile of wood on the cart, “to the sea further on. They’re going to start fisheries there. They say we’ll conquer those olive growers soon. But their land is even more polluted than ours.” The farmer nods back. As the cart starts moving again, he returns to the field to harvest the last bushels of grain, growing among the stumps of what was once a lush forest — 3 turns ago. Antiquity is a strategy game for 2–4 players, set in an environment loosely modeled after Italy in the late Middle Ages. Players choose their own victory condition: you can focus on population growth, trade, conquest, or city building by choosing your patron saint. Each strategy requires a completely different playstyle. You can also choose to revere Santa Maria, the most powerful saint of all, but then you are expected to build a civilization twice as impressive as any other player's. While your economy constantly strengthens and increasingly developed cities give you new options each turn, the land surrounding your cities slowly becomes exhausted. This forces you to travel further and further to gather resources, until eventually there is no land left to cultivate. Hopefully, one of you will have won the game before that moment arrives.
