Almanac: The Crystal Peaks is the second entry in the Almanac series of games from acclaimed designer Scott Almes. Each round of Almanac is played on a different page in the gamebook. Each page represents a unique location/board with a special twist on worker placement. When combined an innovative bidding mechanism for turn order and a vast array of fantasy encounters, every game of Almanac: The Crystal Peaks is a new experience!

Build your own gang and customize it to suit your plans. Gather resources to complete heists and money to recruit new gang members. And make sure you escape the police! A unique and fun game from the award-winning designers of Automania and Trails of Tucana.

Bad Company supports up to 6 players with very little downtime. It also includes a solo mode where you try to outsmart the police.

Each player has a player board with 11 gang members. You may upgrade them by placing overlapping cards onto them. This way, the visual appearances of your gang members change as they gain more abilities.

Each round, the active player rolls four dice and divides them into two pairs (pay coins to reroll). Each pair of dice activates one gang member on the active player's board. All other players may use one of the pairs to activate a single gang member on their own boards.

Activating a gangster provides resources needed to complete heists, money to upgrade your gang members, or advance your car through the city.
You want to advance your car, because you need to stay ahead of the police in order to collect loot along the city route.

You gain points by completing heists, upgrading your gang and by driving your car through the city.
Some completed heists provide special abilities which you can build your strategy around.

The game ends when a player completes their 6th heist, or when any car reaches the dock on the city track, and the player with the most points wins.

Explore the amazing lands of Australia in the new version of this clever ‘draft & write’ game! Visit the most beautiful places of Australia. While touring, you will meet local animals and enjoy tourist activities, such as hiking, swimming or simple taking beautiful pictures! But don’t forget that this trip is not only for pleasure, you all compete to be the best visitor and discover the most of Australia!

Life in the forest is a lot of fun, at least while the sun is shining and the leaves are on the trees. Those days don’t last forever though, and long before the weather starts to change, the wise animals start to harvest for the long cold winter ahead. You will spend many months tucked into your burrow and you want to make it as cozy as possible. A nice bowl of soup, a comfortable rocking chair, and some toys and games will go a long way to make those dark winter days pass by quickly.

Curators is a Euro-style, tile-laying game for 1-4 players in which players build museums and their collections to attract visitors.

Your job as curator is to expand the museum and its collection. With help from your employees you will build new wings and collect objects to put on display in the museum.

The employees are represented by five chips that are used to determine what different actions you may take in the game. Select your action from the face up chips, flip the chip over to show you have used it. This will reveal a different action on the other side which you can use at a later time.

On the other hand, if you ever have two of the same action available on your turn you may choose to double up. This means that on a single turn you can flip two chips and do double the amount of work.

During play you acquire loan contracts for famous objects, like 'the dice tower of a Roman soldier' or 'the skull of the neanderthal man', from other museums. To score the points for these objects you need to complete a tetris like puzzle of color and space matching.

When the game ends only one museum will stand as the victor and take home the 'Museum of the Year Award'.

The Great Return

In Ancient Rome, the taverns appearance changed the way of life of social classes, following a game called DRINKING WAR, which quickly became popular. Farmers, Knights, nobles, everyone played it to settle their accounts with the help of this strategic drinking game! However, the craze of this game revealed a previously unknown disease "the Hangover" in the year 17 AD.
A year later, an exceptional Summit held by the YouDrankAll Emperor banned the game for 2000 years by isolating the rules in the depths of the Vatican cellar.
Today, it returns after an eternal expectation to revolutionize our parties!

Guardians Chronicles is a superhero-themed miniatures game in which you play as one of the members of the Liberty Patrol or as the group's archnemesis, Professor Skarov.

To set up, the Skarov player arranges the nine double-sided game board tiles into a 3x3 grid, with his control room in the center space. Each player takes her character sheet, miniature and 7-10 action cards. These characters enter the grid on one of the side tiles and need to advance around the square – confronting minions and traps along the way – in order to achieve whatever objectives are in place for this game, such as thwarting a nuclear missile attack.

Each turn, the hero players play 1-2 action cards; each card shows both a special power and modifiers to that hero's inherent statistics – movement, attack, defense and mental – and the played cards can be used for either the special power or the modifiers. Each hero player has four actions in a round, and the players can play in any order they wish; the actions are move across the base, attack an enemy, or use a special power on a played action card or the hero's character sheet.

Professor Skarov then receives a number of action points based partially on the heroes' actions, and he uses these to activate himself, his minions, or his robots, with these figures also performing move, attack, or special power actions.

As the players complete (or fail to complete) objectives, the newspapers report on who did what, and the sum of those reports determine who comes out on top.

Endossez le rôle du Diable et proposez aux joueurs une partie de cartes dont l’enjeu est leur âme ! Leur objectif : vous distraire en vivant au travers de leurs Avatars la meilleure histoire possible ! Chaque joueur a le pouvoir d’influer sur la Diablerie (scénario) à son envie en l’enrichissant avec son imaginaire. Grâce aux règles inspirée du Blackjack, ils vont prendre des risques pour parvenir à dénouer le fil de l’intrigue dont vous seul connaissez la révélation. Chaque Diablerie est non seulement une aventure mais aussi un univers à part entière : embarquez pour de la science-fiction, de l’action, du thriller, du western, du fantastique ou du steampunk !

Recollect the images from your childhood. All the exciting books, graphic novels and movies full of tireless discoverers and travelers, surprisingly lethal archeologists, secret agents, or crocodile hunters. Now grab your cards and use them to form a unique expedition to find legendary treasures! So, where’s the catch? The heroes we’re talking about are close to immortal – whatever happened they always found a way out, never actually meeting enemies powerful enough to defeat them. You, on the other hand, will have to face your friends, who probably had the same sources of inspiration as yourself… It's time to prepare for a tough competition full of dirty tricks!

When playing Venturesome, you try to gather a group of adventurers able to undertake a chosen challenge while evading any threats. You use the abilities of your expedition members in order to thwart your rivals’ plans. However, bear in mind that your opponents are equally ready to steal, manipulate, or do anything that is necessary to defeat you. If you don’t act quickly and decisively, instead of finding the treasure, your expedition will get into real trouble. So, forget about scruples and compromises. Be smarter, quicker, and meaner that your rivals.

Venturesome is the spiritual successor of the legendary Palastgeflüster. With the updated game mechanics and victory conditions, you can expect hours of gaming full of negative interaction. In this game each move is a risk that might pay off.

Just remember about the most important rule: be RUTHLESS! That’s the only way you can win!
