The Balkans have long been a land of mystery and strife. The promise of the newfangled railways has brought unusual co-operation to the leaders of the disparate states of this land. Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Bulgaria, along with the powerful rulers of the Ottoman Empire and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, see the immense bounty to be realized with railways connecting East & West.

Steep mountains must be overcome and isolated valleys must be reached to attain the goal of a true Orient Express. Merchants see the vast potential wealth to be gained and work to fund this dream and become rich themselves. Hooray for the Orient Express!

In Balkan Railways Board Game players are rich merchants and powerful leaders investing their wealth and status in building railroads in this forbidding land. Loans are taken and serviced, opportunities must be recognized and seized. Savvy fiscal manipulators will come out on top in this no-luck economic knife fight.

As Earth begins to die, it is time for humanity to look Beyond the Sun.

The faction leaders that once ruled the planet separately, now work together to develop cutting-edge technology and explore the depths of space. However, only one leader will truly reign supreme in these new worlds. Will it be you?

In Beyond the Sun Board Game players take turns to take an action available on the technology board, then produce resources. As more technologies are researched, more actions become available to the players. Actions allow players to improve their economy, move spaceships, colonize systems, and research new technologies. Those actions belong exclusively to the player who discovers them until the other players catch up! The game ends when a number of achievements are fulfilled, and the faction with the most points claims victory!

The game features a unique cyclical economic system that provides interesting challenges. Should you produce more money to grow your economic power or more food to increase the population needed for further expansion?

Become a technological powerhouse, build an impressive fleet of warships, or colonize the most planets. All possibilities are open to you as you strive for the ultimate triumph!

Featuring fifty historic ships, Crossing Oceans revives the golden era of ocean liners at the turn of the 20th century. Ever larger and faster steamships revolutionized maritime traffic. Daring shipping companies opened steamship lines to the major ports worldwide. Modern steel juggernauts replaced traditional sailing vessels and competed intensely for dominance on the shipping routes.

Build yourself a thriving merchant fleet, and guide it to economic prosperity. Acquire the most modern steamships on the market and take over the precious ports from your rivals. Build an extensive network of trading posts and coal bunkers to expand the capability of your fleet. Make use of diverse options to carry out lucrative transports and win the prestigious Blue Riband of the North Atlantic.

Crossing Oceans picks up the theme and some elements of the 2017 board game Transatlantic, composing an entirely new game on a large historical map and using a new rondel mechanic instead of the old card driven game.

Your small realm is ripe for farming and mining, and those battlements should hold... for now. But winter is coming, and there are only so many hours in a day. So, where should you spend your limited time? Should you harvest wheat, collect ore or reinforce your defenses? The hand of fate is fickle, and only the player with the best foresight will triumph!

In Dice Realms, each player rules a small realm, represented by two or more customizable dice. The removable die faces allow for the strategic improvement of farming, mining, defense, upgrades, and more. Each round, the players simultaneously roll their dice to collect grain, victory points, and coins. Then, they must decide how to upgrade their die faces to improve their realms. But the players must be careful; each round, the Fate Die is rolled, and fate can be fickle. The survival of your realm is in your hands: Will it thrive or merely survive?

As realms recover from the Great Plague, trade resumes, universities are founded, and merchant houses flourish.

Can you build the most prosperous realm while contending with fate?

This Trade Expansion upgrades Dice Realms, adding a new die type, 9 more die faces, 5 lines of related die faces, and 8 events that modify the Fate Die, representing the tumultuous late Medieval world.

New cooperative and solo play options, as well as recommended setups, are also provided.

You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes... dreams! You want a bigger kingdom, more pleasant, with more rivers, and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion!

In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner.

But wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn't be proud, but your grandparents, on your mother's side, would be delighted.

This is a game of building a deck of cards. The deck contains your resources, victory points, and the things you can do. It starts out a small sad collection of Estates and Coppers, but you hope that by the end of the game it will be brimming with Gold, Provinces, and the inhabitants and structures of your kingdom.

This is the second edition of Dominion . Six cards were replaced and one added compared to the first edition. The base cards have art now, and the trash has a mat.

Dominion Card Game: 2nd Edition: Update Pack contains the seven new kingdom cards introduced in the second edition of Dominion, thereby allowing owners of the first edition to obtain these new cards without needing to repurchase the entire game.

The new cards are: Harbinger, Merchant, Vassal, Poacher, Bandit, Sentry, Artisan.

The following cards included in the first edition should be removed when using the second edition update pack:

The new version of the Dominion Big Box has both Dominion and Intrigue second editions plus enough base cards to play with 6 players.

The fires have reached the city. Hurry to the ship! Life on the Old World is being burned away by increasing solar radiation. Your civilization's only hope lies in the New World, and you don't have much time to get there. Gather your people and evacuate!

You start the game with a fully functioning economy. But to survive, you must dismantle that economy and relocate it to the New World. Building up the New World requires resources. Maybe you can ship them in. Maybe you can get the planet to start producing resources for itself. Work fast. You only have 4 rounds. If you can build three stadiums on the New World and increase all production to Level 8, you win. Otherwise, players compare scores after 4 rounds. The game also includes modules for alternative modes of play.

During the 1950s, the network of railway lines in USA was modernized because of new diesel locomotives. This allowed people to travel to the major cities to visit beautiful old and new structures worth to see.

In Free Ride USA Board Game, you are taking charge of rebuilding the railway lines and carry passengers to the cities. Your railway lines and state-owned railway lines are free of charge, while you must pay fellow players to convert their lines into state-owned railway lines.

Visit as many different cities of America as possible to gain the most victory points.

Free Ride USA Board Game also offers a difficult solo challenge!

History of the World retells the story of humanity, starting from ancient Sumeria and ending with modern day USA. The map emphasizes those lands where civilizations flourished. Over sixty peoples feature on Empire and Event cards. Capitals, cities, monuments and forts are brought into play and then, just as quickly, are reduced by the armies of rivals. Control of buildings and lands enables players to collect gold. Whosoever has most gold at game end is the winner.

Major differences in the latest History of the World edition: With or without dice rules. Distribution of Empire cards and Event cards. New Event cards. Gold collection mechanics. New "Area tokens" strategy. New "Honor tokens" provide benefits. New player array. Just to add that though there are many changes, one of our objectives has been to keep the spirit of the game intact and to incorporate elements that had featured from the very earliest versions of the game, as well as later useful developments. Hence, "Catastrophe" has now become an Honour. One element that has not survived the passing of time is "Weaponry"- which was always too strong an Event.

Cities on the moon! This will be humanity's crowning achievement. At last, no longer bound to the Earth - the moon, a stepping stone to the stars. The rockets are loaded with supplies and colonists; the robots are programmed and ready. Everything has been planned down to the tiniest detail, and there is no chance whatsoever of failure. To the moon! Moon Colony Bloodbath is an engine-building, engine-losing tableau game, with a shared deck the players build that makes things happen, many of them bad things that kill people in your moon colony, but some positive, and some that let you build up.

More specifically, each turn one card is revealed from the shared deck, which starts with four work cards, two trouble cards, and two twists. For work, each player takes an action of their choice simultaneously: mining for money, farming for food, research for cards, build a new building, or restock boxes on buildings. Twists vary from one game to the next. Trouble adds a new event card to the deck: hunger, paperwork, glitches, accidents, leaks, power failure - whatever can go wrong will go wrong, then whenever the deck is shuffled, you can prepare for all those events once again. Players can add cards to the shared deck, too, whether perks that are only for you or developments that affect all players. The game lasts until one player's moon colony has no people remaining, or until the players reach the bottom of the event deck. At that point, the player with the most survivors wins.

After 15 years, Power Grid, the hugely popular and award-winning game, is being upgraded. Small but meaningful improvements have been made to the game including updated rules to improve gameplay, an updated player order tracker, new reference cards, and a discount token to enhance power plant auctions. Power Grid Recharged will be compatible with all previous Power Grid expansions.

Power Grid: Australia & Indian Subcontinent includes two new maps for Power Grid: Recharged or Power Grid.

The Australia map challenges players with several independent power networks. Players now the ability to sell uranium.

The Indian Subcontinent map offers a more restrictive resource market. It can punish players who expand too quickly with power outages!

Power Grid: Benelux & Central Europe includes two new maps for Power Grid: Recharged or Power Grid.

As the Benelux countries support ecological power, players may have greater opportunities to acquire such power plants. Also, oil is more available and coal less available in these countries.

As Central Europe has large coal supplies, coal will be much more plentiful then elsewhere in Central Europe. However, due to political stands taken by some countries, players may be limited in their access to nuclear power.

The result is not just new maps, but new ways to play this great game!

Power Grid: Korea & China includes two new maps for Power Grid: Recharged or Power Grid.

The Korea map comes with two separate resource markets (North/South).

The China map has rules for the planned economy in China ? power plants come out in ascending order during step 1 and step 2.

Power Grid: France & Italy includes two new maps for Power Grid: Recharged or Power Grid.

Along with the maps are small rule changes to reflect the power culture in these two countries.

The Northern Europe / United Kingdom & Ireland includes two new maps for Power Grid: Recharged or Power Grid.

Power Grid: Russia / Japan includes two new maps for Power Grid: Recharged or Power Grid.

Russia: This map features a restricted market for power plants. Additionally, the standard rules for exchanging out of date power plants are changed. The players are forced to completely rethink their strategies.

Japan: Based on the crowded geographical surroundings, the players can start two separate networks in Japan. The first connections are restricted to certain cities, guaranteeing a tough fight for the best networks.

For decades, there has been an abundance of oil in the Middle East. However, in the near future the so-called "peak oil" threatens this area: This is the point in time when the output of the oil wells begins to decrease. Already, a few countries of this region have nuclear power plants, and that number will increase in the future as the amount of oil from the wells diminishes. Most likely, other energy sources will play a part, too, such as the recycling of plastic waste.

The players start the game with an excessive supply of oil. Additionally, the players have access to plenty of natural gas (using the coal tokens of the base game) and a few solar plants (the green power plants). However, at the start of the game the players cannot buy nuclear or garbage power plants. During Step 2, the abundance of oil and natural gas will run dry. Both nuclear and garbage power plants will then be available as alternatives. Thus, in the middle of the game the players are forced to adjust their power plant mix. The energy supply in South Africa is executed almost exclusively by a single trust, which is the seventh biggest energy supplier in the world measured against the production of energy. Roughly 90% of the energy is produced in coal power plants. Additionally, South Africa uses a few nuclear power plants and both water and wind ecological power plants. Because of its size, the trust also supplies half of the rest of Africa with energy. Thus, the game board contains six international power connections and a lot of available coal.

This expansion offers new challenges for Power Grid. Explore 3 different variants to play with the maps of Germany and USA. The included cards are playable with all map expansions; rules for those can be found on the publisher's website. Rules for using with the Germany and USA maps are included.

The game Resafa takes place during the 3rd century AD in the area of today's Middle East. Resafa now lies in ruins in modern-day Syria, but at this time it was a fortified desert outpost that flourished as a stop along important caravan routes. In the game, players represent merchants who travel on business trips and buy and sell goods in the various cities in the region. Resafa had no local sources of water, so it depended heavily on large cisterns to collect the spring and winter rainwater to make the area habitable. Players build water tanks and canals to distribute that water where it is needed.

In the cities, they build workshops to help their businesses grow, which will allow them to collect resources and camels. They also construct gardens between the businesses, generating more resources and also victory points. The game is played over six rounds. In each round, a player takes only three actions, playing action cards in this tight and exciting game.

First, it adds expansion content to the base game: 62 more game dice, a new die type, start factions, home worlds, and more than double the number of game tiles for the bag as in Ambition, the first expansion for Roll.

Rivalry also contains two optional game modules - the Deal Game and the Orb Game - which can be played separately or combined.

These modules can also be combined with the goals in Ambition, although we suggest not combining them all at once for new players!
