For the first time in Terror From Destiny, there is no killer (or henchmen) to fight. At least, none that you can see or attack. Instead, the killer is death, fate, or destiny (take your pick). It will slowly claim the lives of the Destined Victims: five special victims that are tied to the story and are always present, regardless of location. You must save as many of these victims as possible, because for every victim you fail to save, fate will exact a heavy toll at the end of the game. But there’s a catch (as always): the Predestined Victims must be rescued in a VERY specific order, an order you don’t know at the start of the game! Make a mistake and rescue the Athlete before the Cheerleader, and fate will not appreciate your interference.

Players take on the role of "Finders" and try to correctly place "Thing" cards in a Venn diagram. Each ring of the Venn diagram has special rules. The twist? Only one player, playing as "The Knower," knows the secret rules. The rules fall into three different categories: Word : relates to the spelling or structure of the word. Property : deals with the physical properties of the object. Context : revolves around the role or position of the object in society. An example of rules might be: 'begins with a vowel', 'edible' and 'found at a school'. The Thing card 'Apple' satisfies all three rules and is placed in the middle of the Venn diagram. In contrast, 'Train' satisfies none of the rules and is outside the diagram. Each time an object is placed or moved to the correct spot, players are given more information about what the rules might be. If a player places a card correctly, they may immediately place a new card. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins. Strategy Tip: The goal is to get rid of your cards, not to figure out the rules. But the best way to get rid of your cards is to figure out the rules!

Kelp is an asymmetric game for two players that offers them the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the natural world of pyjama sharks and common octopuses, set in a South African kelp forest. The game combines hide-and-seek with bluffing and manipulation, and deckbuilding with dice bag building. Players take on the role of these iconic sea creatures and find that the game mechanics closely match their real-life behavior. Each creature has a unique path to victory. The octopus, known for its cunning and adaptability, moves stealthily around the board by playing cards and managing its visible and hidden blocks, reflecting the animal’s remarkable ability to camouflage and deceive. In contrast, the shark, embodying the merciless and determined hunter, patrols its territory and attempts to capture the elusive octopus by rolling dice and using special abilities to influence its luck, a representation of the shark’s instinctive behavior and predatory nature. The game is an exciting mix of deck building, dice bag building, hide and seek, bluffing and manipulation. There are three ways the game can end: the shark wins by successfully attacking the octopus. The octopus wins by surviving until the shark is exhausted, or by eating all four seafood.

Ironwood is a rules-light, highly asymmetric, card-driven tactical game for 1-2 players. Each round, you and your opponent take turns playing a total of three faction-specific cards to use their action effects. These effects include positioning battlegroups, initiating combat, gaining crystals, applying temporary passive effects, and more. When combat occurs, you’ll use those same cards for their combat values, in a simultaneous bid to gain combat bonuses, inflict or deflect casualties, and increase your battlegroups’ dominance to win the battle. Ironwood also offers a solo mode against the Ironclad or the Woodwalkers. Each faction is controlled by a unique deck of 30+ action cards. On your turn, you select a card from your hand and resolve the action to progress toward victory. However, when a player initiates combat, you use the same cards in your hand to fight. Instead of resolving the action on the card, you and your opponent simultaneously bid a card with their combat values. With faction-specific decks, unique victory conditions, and very different playstyles, each faction feels completely different. The Ironclad represent the established, defensive faction that favors long-term development. The Woodwalkers have limited access to crystals, and their more aggressive playstyle focuses on sabotage, pillaging, and surprise attacks. As Commander of the Ironclad, your main goal is to lay the foundations of your forges and, once you have collected enough crystals, build these forges on the foundations. As Leader of the Woodwalkers, your mission is to find the ancient Totems of your people and secure them in the outer woods, out of reach of the Ironclad.

With each piece, new possibilities are offered, and that in 3 dimensions. Consider carefully where you place your pieces. The more identical symbols are next to each other, the more points you score. However, always keep an eye on all colors. Because in the end, only the color with the lowest score determines who walks away with the win. A little luck and clever play, that's all you need to win this game! Do you like abstract puzzle games like Qwirkle or Patchwork and are you looking for something new that resembles them? Then try Genius 3D. You have to combine in 3 dimensions and always choose between your own possibilities and the chances you offer others. The rules of the game are explained quickly, but winning the game is a different story. If you like solo games, then Genius 3D could also be something for you! Each player has a tile holder with 5 playing pieces in front of them. There are already 6 starting pieces on the game board. When it is your turn, you place a playing piece on the game board or on other playing pieces if they are at the same height. There are 2 colors (symbols) on each playing piece. You get points for all the same symbols that border your playing piece. You mark these points on your score board. Because you count each color separately, your markers do not advance at the same speed. When you are finished with your turn, you draw a new tile from the stock. The game ends when all tiles have been laid or that is no longer possible. The players then compare their score boards. Everyone first looks at the color in which they scored the worst. Whoever has the highest score there wins the game. If there is a tie, those players look at the color in which they have progressed second worst, and so on. You can also play Genius 3D on your own. Try to beat your previous score!

In Fishing, you try to win as many tricks as possible over eight rounds, with each card you catch worth 1 point. The cards you catch are used in the next round. If you haven't won enough tricks to replenish your hand, you draw new cards from the ocean deck, which introduces new cards to compete for. Each round you start with 8 to 13 cards in your hand, depending on the number of players and the round. In the first round the cards consist of values ​​from 1 to 10 in four suits. The standard trick-taking rules apply: players must follow the suit played and the highest card in that suit wins the trick. New cards enter play via the Ocean set in waves, including higher values ​​in all four suits, a green trump suit with values ​​from 1 to 16, 0 cards that allow you to grab a card from a trick, and buoy cards with special powers. Buoys can be played into a trick at any time, regardless of what you have in your hand. They can be used to take control, determine which suit is played next, force other players to pass cards or lose points, or even steal all the other cards in a trick to secure a big haul for yourself. At the end of each round, score 1 point for each card you captured. The player with the most points after eight rounds wins the game!

In the 16th century, a small fishing village was founded in northern Germany, which initially did not pose a threat to its old neighbour Hamburg. As Altona grew rapidly, a great rivalry arose, with the two cities constantly trying to outdo each other. Take on your opponent in an exciting city battle. Try to achieve an immediate victory, but beware, there are many ways to achieve it. The key to success lies in the art of deception and the ability to estimate your opponent's intentions. Are you often with two people and are you looking for a game in which tension and suspicion are central? And do you like to think carefully about your moves? Stedenstrijd offers all of that. The game is suitable for opportunists, who go for the immediate victory or for long-term players, who try to have the highest score at the end of the game. In City Battle, you and your rival take turns. When it's your turn, you move the ink pot forward clockwise along the ink fields of the game board. Depending on the ink field you end up on, you perform certain actions. If a player moves the ink pot past the bell, the game is interrupted and a low season occurs. The interrupted player then continues their turn. The game ends after the off-season in which at least 1 of the conditions for the end of the game is met (at the latest after the 7th off-season). The player with the most stars wins the game in that case. However, the game usually ends before that point as a result of a player having an immediate victory. This can happen in 4 ways: the player has 3 more ship cards than his rival, the player wins his 3rd lawsuit card, the player has all 4 treaty cards, or the prestige stone reaches the player's city name at the end of the prestige track.

The moment the inhabitants of this beautiful land see the flags of your Viking ship, they flee with their tails between their legs. It is now up to you to lead your Vikings. Seize the resources left behind and plunder the empty buildings, so that you can become the next jarl of the Vikings. Do you love games that require you to play tactically as well as puzzle, such as Carcassonne or Patchwork? And can't it take too long? Then Vlooot might be right up your alley. It plays easily, but how do you puzzle your loot together so that you end up with the most points? Try it yourself! Each player gets a number of Vikings and a tableau. When it is your turn, you place your Viking on a space of the game board adjacent to another Viking. Based on where you place him, you get 1 or more tiles. These can contain resources, but also conquered buildings, such as houses or castles. You must place these tiles directly on your tableau. Furthermore, you may take a ship each turn. You must also place this on your tableau. Why is it important where you place tiles on your tableau? Well, because for the Viking ships and the building sites, which are already on your tableau, you need certain resources and buildings to get the points for them. And that tile has to be next to it at the end of the game. Also, for ships, you get minus points if you haven't filled them with the right stuff, so taking unlimited ships is not useful. You can also score points by claiming trophies and collecting extra points for your buildings. The game ends when all Vikings have been placed. If you have the most points, you win and are elected jarl!
