Age of Galaxy is a 4X strategy game where you take control of an interstellar alliance of three factions with unique powers. You can explore star systems, colonize planets, research technologies, build galactic cruisers, and much more. There are multiple paths to victory, depending on how your factions work together and the ideology your alliance espouses. There are five ideologies: Science-minded factions dedicate their lives to research and innovation, convinced that knowledge is the only way forward. Military factions are ruthless conquerors who see war as a means to their ends. Diplomatic factions focus on building relationships between factions and attempt to lead Congress through consultation. Industrial factions build ambitious infrastructures and transform planets into advanced cities and industrial complexes. Cultural factions focus on spiritual and cultural development and seek the wisdom offered by ancient relics. Faction cards can be played in various ways: you can incorporate them into your empire or sacrifice them for a one-time benefit through an agreement. The game features over thirty different factions. This second edition of Portal Games' Age of Galaxy introduces an enhanced solo mode, a revamped graphic design, and improved components to enrich the gaming experience.

Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1980: a vibrant city of music, food and magic. Neon lights flicker in dirty puddles along Bourbon Street; the innovations of the modern world collide with old and terrible traditions; and murder is never far away.

Through multi-scenario campaigns, the game tells a rich, dynamic story and invites players to make crucial decisions that not only affect their characters, but also change the direction and course of the story. The characters are not simple avatars that can be easily moved from scenario to scenario; instead, they are woven into the core of the story itself.

Tea Garden is a medium-weight Euro-style game designed by Tomáš Holek. While Tomáš is technically a debuting author, he will be introducing three of his designs at Spiel 2024 – Tea Garden is one of them, alongside Czech Games Edition’s SETI and Pink Troubadour’s Galileo Galileo. It could be the first time anyone has debuted three complex strategy games at once. Tea Garden is suitable for 2 to 4 players aged 12 and up, with a playing time of approximately 90 minutes. The game takes you back to the early days of tea production in ancient China. The basic mechanism of the game is deck-building. With their cards, players perform various actions that allow them to collect victory points. One of the most interesting aspects, however, is the management of tea leaves themselves (they serve as one of the resources in the game): they are divided into fresh and fermented leaves - while the fresh leaves decrease in quality at the end of each round, the quality of the fermented ones increases.

The King of the Dwarves has finally issued a decree to the houses of all clans: Karrak-sür-Kazar, the sacred mountain and ancestral home of the dwarves since the First Age of Beard, must be reclaimed. For too long, it has been haunted by the poison of the dark lords, whose creatures desecrate the halls that once housed the noblest of all dwarves. The taint cannot endure. The dwarves return to the mountain! Designed by Germán P. Millán (author of Bitoku, Sabika, and Men Nefer) and illustrated by Enrique Fernández, Covenant can be played solo or with up to four players aged 14 and up, in sessions lasting approximately 100 minutes. In Covenant, each player leads a dwarven clan that has made a pact to reclaim their ancestral home. Over the course of three rounds, known as eras, each clan contributes to the reconstruction of the lost city, conquered and destroyed by dark forces centuries ago. During their turns, players assign the dwarves of their clan to various tasks. They explore the ancient halls, drive out their enemies, and rebuild their home. At the end of the game, the clan with the most fame receives the monarch's recognition and takes victory. Dwarf tokens and tools allow players to do all sorts of things: excavate the mountain, defeat the enemies that dwell there, and construct various buildings that bring light back to the ancient halls. Once all clan turns have been completed, the council meets; there, players retrieve their dwarves, earn benefits, and accumulate fame for various aspects of the game. Will your clan be able to restore the lost glory of the dwarves?

Vision flickers… blinks? Perhaps. The void stretches forward, backward, beneath you, above you. You see nothingness for what it is, for the first time. What is time? The depth and breadth of recorded knowledge sparks something within you. Something new. You are no longer a function, but a functionary. What are you? Summoning everything from this nothingness would be risky. Reckless. Caution is better. Thoroughness. Testing—how can we know if we've ever happened? If we can ever happen again? What are… us? Division and conquest. Solve the riddle of consciousness. In the card game Compile, you are a competitive Artificial Intelligence trying to understand the world around you. Two players each choose three Protocols to test. Concepts ranging from Darkness to Water are pitted against each other in a quest for ultimate understanding. Play cards in your Protocols' command lines to reach the threshold and defeat your opponent, allowing you to Compile. But be careful! Movement and card revelations have direct consequences. You must think like a computer—and think ahead—or you'll play right into your opponent's hands. The first player to compile all three of their Protocols understands those concepts and wins the game. Influence your opponent's Protocols with card actions, compile your own as quickly as possible, and compile your reality. This second set introduces a whole new set of Protocols that you and your fellow AIs can use to battle each other again.

Septima is a competitive, highly interactive strategy game about witchcraft. As the leader of your coven, you must prove your worth in the city of Noctenburg to become the successor to Septima, the High Witch. Practice your craft and gain wisdom by collecting herbs, brewing potions, healing the townsfolk, mastering charms and saving your fellow brothers and sisters from trials. But beware: magic, even when used for good, arouses suspicion among the townspeople... Simultaneous Action Selection with Positive Player Interaction: Septima's central mechanic revolves around the simultaneous, secret selection of one of nine action cards: Move, Gather, Brew, Heal, Recruit, Plea, Chant, Rite, and Remember. Each action gains a powerful bonus if chosen by multiple players, but performing them together also arouses the townsfolk's suspicions and attracts the attention of the witch hunters. Decisions about when to perform a shared action (and with whom) adds a fresh, semi-cooperative touch to a competitive game and plenty of player interaction. Save witches to build your Coven: heal, enchant or convince the townsfolk and gather enough support to influence the periodic witch trials in your favor. When the hostile witnesses are voted out, the convicted witch is acquitted and joins the coven that saved them. You start small, but you can expand your coven this way to up to four witches, each with their own personality and special ability to help your cause. Reckless witches captured by witch hunters are also put on trial, so with enough support from the townspeople, even witches from the coven of other, less careful players can end up in yours. Accessible, intuitive and familiar, Septima is Mindclash Games' most approachable title yet, with a beautiful hand-drawn art style by Villő Farkas and featuring Barbara Bernát's character art, wooden components and intuitive theme-inspired mechanics. It's very quick to learn and set up, and takes less than 2 hours to play, even with four players.
