Teotihuacan: City of the Gods is a strategic game in which the use of workers and raw materials, smart planning and adaptability are important. Each player orders a group of dice workers to move around action locations on a modular board. On his turn, each player moves a worker to a new location, chooses one of the two action options there (and upgrades his workers) or takes a strong bonus action (but without upgrading). As the mysterious decline of Teotihuacan approaches, players acquire technologies, work on the beautiful Pyramid of the Sun, build homes for the city's inhabitants, collect precious masks and climb the stairs of three great temples to earn bonuses given by the gods. Create a strategy, change it with every other board build, and keep an eye on the sky, because every upcoming solar eclipse means your efforts will be evaluated - and your fame could rise or become worthless. The Games Friends: “ Are you a fan of a strategic board game where you can win in many different ways? Then Teotihuacan is highly recommended. In terms of difficulty, we think it is a bit comparable to Terra Mystica and the theme is of course reminiscent of Tzolk'in (a game by the same maker). Apart from all that, Teotihuacan is a unique game with many possibilities. In our opinion, highly recommended! We really enjoy playing it!”

Terra Mystica is highly rated internationally and ranks very high on Board Game Geek's list of the best board games ever!

Decrypto is a communication game in which you are part of a team of code breakers. Your mission: Send secret codes to your teammates without your opponents intercepting them. Therefore, look for a way of communicating in which your teammates understand you, but make sure your communication is well coded to confuse your opponent. At the same time you also try to decipher the codes of your opponents. Your team wins the game as soon as you manage to obtain 2 interception tokens. You receive 1 interception token for every time you manage to intercept your opponents' code. Your team loses the game if you receive 2 miscommunication tokens. You receive 1 miscommunication token for every time your team fails to guess your Encryptor's code. The Games Friends: " Decrypto is a fantastic 'Guess the word' game with a twist. You don't try to guess the words of your opponents, but you try to link the different descriptions together so that you know which of the four words they mean with a description. An absolute must for people who want to go a step further than 30 Seconds, Codenames and Trapwords and that makes it one of our favorite party games ever!

Paladins of the Western Kingdom is set during a turbulent time in the history of Western Franconia, around 900 AD. Despite recent attempts to develop the city, the surrounding villages are still threatened by outsiders. Saracens explore the borders, while Vikings plunder riches and livestock. Even the Byzantines from the east showed their dark side. As noble men and women, players must gather workers from the city to defend themselves against enemies, build fortifications and spread the faith across the land. Fortunately, you are not alone. In his great wisdom, the King has sent his best knights to assist in our efforts. So prepare the horses and sharpen the swords. The Paladins are approaching. The aim of the game is to be the player with the most victory points at the end of the game. You earn points by building outposts and fortifications, appointing monks and entering into confrontations with outsiders. Each round, players enlist the help of a particular Paladin and gather workers to complete tasks. As the game progresses, players will slowly increase their faith, power and influence. These not only influence their final score, but also determine the meaning of their actions. The game concludes at the end of the seventh round. The Games Friends: " Our favorite game in the West Kingdom Trilogy. There are a lot of choices, but the actions still feel logical. We think the strong element is that you cannot focus on everything in one game. This means that you can always do something different. try something else and you will be able to play Paladins for a long time. A great recommendation that will remain one of our favorite games for a while. "
