In Dinosaur Island, players collect and research DNA from extinct dinosaur species. They combine ancient DNA in the right order to bring these prehistoric creatures back to life! The goal of all players is to build the most exciting Dino Park every season and attract the most guests (and keep them alive!). The Games Friends: “ Dinosaur Island is more than a fantastic theme, because it plays wonderfully. The actions are clearly indicated on the board and it really feels like you are building your own theme park. You can play very tactically and it looks great! We are really fans of this game and will play it very often!”

Time is broken and shattered. The seasons exist all at once, and day and night have no real cycle – they rotate at the whim of the forest. This enchanted land has been thrown into chaos and it is up to you, the cunning mystics of the forest, to tame extraordinary forest creatures and use your magic to restore balance. In Brew, players must choose how to use the element dice. Do they take back control of as many seasons as possible in an area-control game? Or do they buy goods in the local village in a worker-placement game? By recruiting woodland creatures and brewing potions, you can counter bad dice rolls or create an engine to help you tame the land.

The triumph of science that led to the return of dinosaurs to the world has become widely known. New parks appear regularly, and work often begins before everything is completed. There is no shortage of customers eager to be entertained in new and exciting ways by these returning species. However, as with any form of entertainment, elements of triumph are often accompanied by elements of tragedy. This means it is of utmost importance that you take every precaution by ensuring that every visitor signs the safety waiver before enjoying the wonders of Dinosaur World! Each round in Dinosaur World you build a new CV card to acquire new workers; deploy employees to carry out actions and acquire DNA. Throughout the game you'll gain victory points in various ways - and possibly a few visitor deaths as a natural consequence of overly enthusiastic dinosaur encounters. At the end of the game, if you collect too many deaths, you will lose points and the player with the most points wins!

Rugged terrain, few people, lots of game. An ideal environment for wolves. These pack animals seek out each other to hunt prey and reproduce. But not all packs interact peacefully. They all want power over the area and they will do anything for that. Wolves is a strategic game in which you lead your own pack of wolves. You try to claim territories, expand your pack, develop your pack's traits, build dens and hunt prey. All of those things provide benefits and victory points in different ways. Your turns are controlled by double-sided terrain tiles. Each turn you turn over a number of them depending on the chosen action. You may then perform an action on a space of that terrain, provided it is within range of your wolves. This way you can move your wolves, build shelters to improve the properties of your pack, or upgrade your shelters to dens. However, some actions can only be performed with your alpha wolves and unfortunately you don't have many of them. You score the most points by checking certain areas when the moon reaches a certain position. You need most of the pieces in such an area for this. Because there are only 2 playing pieces allowed per field, fierce competition arises between the different packs of players. Wolves is a very thematic and challenging board game. The interaction between the packs and the variable playing field ensure that you have to explore new strategies and possibilities time and again to win. The beautiful artwork and wooden wolves provide an intense gaming experience.

New islands have emerged from the ocean and as scientists you must do the research into the new developing ecosystems that are present there. Watch the islands on the board grow in three dimensions as you learn more about them, and add colorful plants and animals to each island as you explore their ecosystems.

After eight rounds, you score points based on how prosperous and biodiverse your islands are, as well as various research objectives. Whoever has the most points wins!

At the end of each ski day, you'll take a break at the ski village, where you can take bonus actions and purchase equipment to prepare for the next ski day.

Welcome to Wildstyle, where the city is your canvas and the streets belong to the people. Rock to the beat of your favorite pirate radio station as you and your crew tag along the city. Make sure your rivals know where their field ends and yours begins. Be careful though, because not everyone in town appreciates your artistic efforts and they may want to outdo you! The aim of the game is to tag locations in the city districts with the color of your crew. You do this by collecting sets of cards with matching location icons. Each time you collect a set of 3 cards that all have the same icon, you may place a tag on a spot with that icon anywhere on the card. The game is played over 3 rounds and there are no turns! Once a round has started, everyone performs their actions simultaneously in a random order. The end of the round is triggered when all draw piles are empty or when only 1 player has tags left on their card. Each player receives 6 crew tiles from the supply and a new round begins. The game ends after 3 rounds and you score for objectives and for each spot where you have a tag. The team with the most points wins!

Welcome to Machi Koro town. You have just been elected mayor. Congratulations! Unfortunately, the residents have some pretty big demands: jobs, an amusement park, a few cheese factories, and maybe even a radio tower. A difficult proposition, since the city currently consists of only a wheat field, a bakery and a single die. Armed with only your trusty dice and a dream, you must grow Machi Koro into the largest city in the region. You will have to collect income from developments, build public works and steal money from your neighbors' safes. Just make sure they don't do the same to you! Machi Koro is a fast game for 2-4 players. Each player wants to develop the city on their own terms to complete all the under-construction sights faster than their rivals. In turn, players roll one or two dice. If the sum of rolls matches the number of a building a player owns, they gain that building's effect; in some cases, opponents will also benefit from your throw (just as you can benefit from theirs). Then, with money in hand, a player can build a landmark or a new building, preferably increasing the prosperity of their city in the future. The first player to build all their landmarks wins!

The Space Race was a lie. Look, it's not like the moon landing was faked. That happened. Neil hates the conspiracy theories. The lie is that we once wanted to go to the moon. We needed a spectacle to show people. To justify the huge budgets. The agencies. Neil stepped on a rock 239,000 miles from Earth. Big deal. I stepped onto an exoplanet orbiting Ursae Majoris 18 months earlier. It's a one-way trip, so no one goes home. No ticker tape parade for me, but that's okay. I am here for my country. Look, the Russians beat us here for a few months. Japanese showed up a few weeks after us. We are colonizing this planet for America. Because there is no choice...
