At the start of Endless Winter you are in charge of a hunter-gatherer group, which you must help develop into a civilized tribal community throughout the game. You do this by exploring, traveling around, expanding your tribe, hunting big game and building megaliths, large stone buildings. In each round of Endless Winter, three different phases are completed: the action phase, the eclipse phase and the new generation phase.

In the first phase you also prepare for the eclipse phase. In the Stone Age, astronomical events regularly took place that caused major conflict between different tribes. After such events, a new generation took over from the old generation, which happens in the third phase of the game. When these three phases have been completed, a new round starts where you develop your tribe. The points distributed during Endless Winter are awarded in different areas at the end of the game.

Carnegie the board game was inspired by the life of Andrew Carnegie who was born in Scotland in 1835. Andrew Carnegie and his parents emigrated to the United States in 1848.

That made him one of the richest men in the world and an icon of the American Dream. Andrew Carnegie was also a benefactor and philanthropist; after his death in 1919, more than $350 million of his fortune was bequeathed to various foundations, with another $30 million going to various charities. His donations created nearly 2,500 free public libraries that bear his name: the Carnegie Libraries. During the game, you recruit and manage employees, expand your business, invest in real estate, produce and sell goods, and create transportation chains across the United States; you can even work with important personalities of the time.

The women take care of the family and the animals and are in charge within the tent. The families are divided into tribes with the Imashaghen (noblemen) at the head. As leaders of a Tuareg tribe, the players trade in local (dates and salt) and exotic (pepper) commodities. With the gold and the other benefits they gain from it, they expand their influence. There is a new offer every round. The commodity cards are a means to achieve your goal of obtaining the desired tribe cards.

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.

Japan, 1761: Harima Province. Daimyo Sakai Tadazumi is one of the top advisors to the Tokugawa Shogunate, which rules the Himeji Castle region. It is therefore in the interest of the various local tribes to be seen in a good light by the Sakai tribe. To gain influence, they must get members of their family at every level within the White Castle. In The White Castle you take on the role of a leader of a small tribe. You fight for the position and future of your tribe in the court of the White Heron. Cunning and precise resource management and housing relatives within Himeji Castle are the key to victory! On his turn, he chooses a die from one of the three bridges and places it on the game board or his own tableau. The value of the die he covers with this determines whether he has to pay money for it or receives it. For choosing a low die you get a bonus, which becomes increasingly attractive as the game progresses. Then you perform the actions associated with the field in question. The different areas, such as the spring, the training grounds and the castle, offer different options for action. You can receive coins, daimyo seals and resources, but also install gardeners or have tribe members climb the social ladder within the castle as courtiers until they perhaps reach the daimyo's floor. You will score some points during the game, but it is mainly about the situation at the end. Then your courtiers earn points in different ways. Because the dice on the bridges and the dice tiles on the game board are always rolled and placed randomly, the starting position is different every game. The same applies to the promotions available in the different places. As a result, The White Castle of Himeji always remains surprising and challenging.
