Games Board Games Flood Gate Games Hedge Mage In Hedge Mage , players build a hedge maze of polyominos to prevent your rival from stealing your gnomes, while navigating your other neighbor’s maze at the same time to nab their gnomes. It's a puzzle-y combination of polyomino placement and tactical movement. It’s a wizard vs. wizard prank war and no gnome is safe! But this is a neighborhood of moderately powered Hedge Mages, with only two powers: grow shrubs, and animate garden gnomes. To sneak into your neighboring mage’s yard to yoink their gnomes, while keeping another rival mage from snagging yours, it’s going to take both powers you’ve got. Harness your horticulture magic to gather the greatest gnome collection! Each player builds their hedge maze piece by piece at the same time. By using clever placement, you'll both hinder your rival's mages and gain movement points each round. Each player uses their movement points to maneuver their mages through their rival's maze in order to awaken each gnome according to the specific enchantment cards. If all 10 Hedge Cards have been revealed, or if a player has rescued all the gnomes from their rival’s board, the game ends and you move on to scoring. The player with the most points wins!
Games Board Games Far Off Games Xia Legends Of A Drift System Bundle With Ember Of A Forsaken Star Expansion And Missions And Powers Expansion Xia: Legends of a Drift System is a 3-5 player sandbox style competitive space adventure. Each player starts as a lowly but hopeful captain of a small starship. Players fly their ships about the system, completing a variety of missions, exploring new sectors and battling other ships. Navigating hazardous environments, players choose to mine, salvage, or trade valuable cargo. Captains vie with each other for Titles, riches, and most importantly Fame. The most adaptive, risk taking, and creative players will excel. One captain will rise above the others, surpassing mortality by becoming Legend! Customize: Each player begins the game by choosing and customizing a Tier 1 starship. Invest all your money in engines and be a rapid, yet fragile, explorer. Put all your credits into an uber missile and watch other players flee in terror. Get a small engine and save space and credits to invest in buying and selling cargo. Or create a well rounded ship, ready for anything. In Xia, the choice is always yours. Adapt: The goal of Xia is to become the most famous captain. Completing missions, besting ships in combat, purchasing higher tier ships, selling Cargo Cubes and claiming Titles are all ways that players can earn Fame Points. The best pilots will adapt to their surroundings, making snap judgments and changing plans on-the-fly. If you can think on your feet, you'll do well in Xia! Sandbox: The real fun of Xia is that each game will be different. There is no set direction of play, players may choose to be peaceful traders, fierce pirates, workers, miners, opportunists, etc. The game board is randomly laid out and explored each time you play. Players might choose not to explore at all, creating a tiny arena for swift and deadly combat, or explore all 19 sectors and have a large play-scape to exploit. It's up to you!
Games Board Games Firestarter Games Down Stream Downstream is a puzzly 2 player card laying game where players create a river and attempt to enrich their own shoreline. During the game, players add cards to a growing river ecosystem; either extending the flow of water or tucked to extend existing banks. Players compete to achieve a varying set of objectives in each game, the resulting rivers each having their own personality.
Games Board Games Firestarter Games Masters Of Maple Syrup In Masters of Maple Syrup , players develop their property tableaus by adding trees to harvest sap from and utilities to improve their syrup production. On their turn, the active player determines the action both players will take, with a slight advantage in their favour. Bound by the code of neighbourly conduct, the actions you take will also help your opponent but at the end of the season, there can only be one Master of Maple Syrup . The game ends at the end of a round where any player has placed 10 cards on their property (tableau). Scores are tallied from the value of cards on each players’ properties and any additional scoring bonuses the cards offer. The player with the highest value on their property wins. Time your actions and develop a property to best benefit from your neighbour's actions in a cozy cabin game for two.
Games Board Games Horrible Guild Rail Road Tiles Desert Expansion Your goal is to create a Desert surrounding your regular tiles, placing Desert Attractions of the different types (Oasis, Pyramid, Sphynx, and Obelisk), connecting them to your regular routes through Desert Stations, and placing Camels to bring people seeing the attractions and gain a few extra points as well. There's a special rule to follow when placing tiles in this expansion: When you place the first Desert tile of the game, it can be placed freely. All following tiles (either regular or Desert) must be placed so that at least 1 side is connected to a tile of the same kind. Desert tiles feature regular Car and Traveler pin points, but they lack Train pin points. In their place, they feature Camel pin points. You can use a Train Placement token to place a Camel on such a pin point, instead of placing a Train pawn. Desert tiles also feature Desert Trails: these are special routes that can be connected to both Highways and Railways: when you do, you place a Desert Station on the joining point token to mark the connection. Desert Stations are important for the scoring of both Desert Attractions and Camels. When you place a Camel, you score 1 point for each Desert Station it connects to. Additionally, at the end of the game you gain points for your sets of different Desert Attractions that are connected to at least 1 Desert Station: 1 point for a singl Attraction, 3 points for 2 different Attractions, 6 points for 3, and 10 points for full sets of 4 different Attractions (the same Attraction can't be part of different sets, of course, but the Attractions of a set don't need to be connected to the same Desert Station nor to each other). Unsurprisingly, the Desert Expansion also comes with a few Objectives: for example, the Desert Market must be part of a route with at least 5 connected Desert Trail segments, while the Great Oasis must be surrounded by at least 4 Desert tiles... but it also counts as an Oasis Attraction! Contents: 44 Desert Route tiles 12 Desert Objective tiles 3 Camel Placement tokens 40 Desert Station tokens 13 Camels
Games Board Games Horrrible Guild Rail Road Tiles Forest Expansion Forest is one of the Expansion marked with "Easy" complexity: a good candidate to be among the first ones you try, or to play with inexperienced people. Your goal is to build Forests all around your network, while keeping them separate from each other (a bit like Cities work in the core game; at the end of the game, you make 3 points for each group of at least 3 Forest tiles that are orthogonally adjacent). Additionally, some Forest tiles also have pinpoints where you can place Lookout Tower pawns (which, like gondolas in the Canals Expansion, can be placed using any Placement token as a wild card, instead of placing the corresponding standard pawn). Each Lookout Tower is worth 1 point +1 for each orthogonal direction in which there is at least 1 Forest tile. Like all expansions, the Forest Expansion comes with a few Objectives as well: for example, the Witch's House does not want to be in the same row or column as a Lookout Tower, while the Camping Ground must have at least 4 Forest tiles around it. Contents: 42 Forest Route Tiles 12 Forest Objective Tiles 18 Lookout Tower Pawns 3 Lookout Tower Placement Tokens 1 Bag
Games Board Games Horrible Guild Rail Road Tiles Energy Expansion Your goal is to create a power grid by building Wind Turbines and using Energy Cables to connect them to Town tiles and bring them energy. Wind Turbines have their own pin points, and can be placed by using any Placement token as a wild card, instead of placing the corresponding standard pawn, like gondolas in the Canals Expansion and Lookout Towers in the Forest Expansion . You will need to use Energy Cables to connect the Wind Turbines you have built to the Town tiles you placed. Energy Cables can be thought of as an additional kind of "route"... but they have a peculiarity: they don't run across the middle of the sides of tiles, like railways and highways, but rather across their corners. This adds a whole new layer to your strategies, because while managing the network of cables can complicate things for you, bringing one to the right corner can allow you to connect three tiles to the power grid in one go! Wind Turbines don't score any point when you build them, but at the end of the game, each of your Town tiles scores 1 point for each 2 Wind Turbines it is connected to. Placing Town tiles smartly and sending Energy Cables to the right corners in order to maximize the Town tiles powered by the least amount of cables is the key to score a lot of points. Additionally, the Energy Expansion comes with a few Objectives as well: for example, the Solar Farm want to be connected to Energy Cables on all 4 corners, while the Casino must have at least 2 electrified Town tiles around it. Contents: 42 Energy Route tiles 12 Energy Objective tiles 3 Wind Turbine Placement tokens 15 Wind Turbine tokens
Games Board Games Horrible Guild Rail Road Tiles Canals Expansion In the Canals Expansion, unsurprisingly, you will have to deal with the construction of Venice-inspired canals, bridges, and gondolas. Your goal is to build Canals that are as long as possible (each Canal scores 1 Prestige point for each Canal tile it contains after the second tile, so a Canal with 5 tiles would be worth 3 points) and close as many of its open ends as possible (each is worth -2 points at the end of the game; to close a Canal, you just need to connect it to the Empty side of a tile, which allows you to place a Canal End token on top of it). Additionally, some Canal tiles also have routes with open gaps over the canal itself where Bridges can be built when both ends of the "open" route are connected to other tiles. Bridges are very important to make points with gondolas (you want those romantic moments during your sightseeing tours), as each gondola is worth 1 point +1 for each bridge in the same canal. Contents: 44 Canal Route tiles 12 Canal Objective tiles 33 Canal End tokens 13 Gondolas 15 Bridges cloth bag rules
Games Board Games Horrible Guild Rail Road Monuments Expansion This expansion is pretty unique in that each player has an additional pawn, the Archaeologist, that can be moved around the landscape you are creating by using the routes you have placed by spending Action points. Your goal is to place sets of different kinds of Monuments (Arch, Temple, Tower) when you find archaeological sites. You have 3 "Action points" to spend each round, and you can gain additional ones by foregoing the use of a Placement tile in the Active zone that round. You can spend 1 Action Point to either move the Archaeologist to an adjacent tile connected by Highway or, if the tile where the Archaeologist is contains a Station, more them to another tile containing a Station connected to the starting one by Railway. When the Archaeologist is on a tile containing an empty Monument pin point, you can also spend 1 Action Point to place a Monument pawn of the indicated type on that pin point. Monument pawns don't score you points when you place them, but at the end of the game, you gain 1 point for each Monument pawn you have + 3 points for each complete set of 3 different Monument pawns (Arch, Temple, Tower) on your tiles. Additionally, the Monuments Expansion comes with a few Objectives as well: for example, the Museum wants the Archaeologist to be on or around it at the end of the game, while the Castle must have at least 2 Towers around it. Contents: 44 Monument Route tiles 12 Monument Objective tiles 4 Archeologist player pawns 13 Arches 13 Temples 13 Towers cloth bag rules
Games Board Games Horrible Guild Rail Road Countryside Expansion Despite the cute looks and serene atmosphere, this is deceptively one of the hardest expansions! Your goal is to create big Pastures with lots of Farms, but you want only 1 Animal of each type in the same Pasture or you will lose points. In contrast to all other expansions, the Animal pawns you get are tied to a specific column of tiles you get from the central board during the draft phase at the beginning of each round. Animal pawns must be placed not on routes, like cars, trains, and travelers, but in the “fields” that surround them. Fields connected to each other are called “Pastures” and are separated from each other by highways, railways, towns, and the fences that are marked on the Countryside tiles from this expansion. There is one additional limitation: Animals must be placed on one of the tiles that you are placing in the current round, they cannot be freely placed wherever you want. Countryside tiles can also have Farms, which act as a multiplier for the points you get from animals at the end of the game: for each Pasture, each Animal it contains is worth 1 point for each Farm in that Pasture. However, there is a limit: if there are more than one animal of the same type (cow, pig, or sheep) in the same Pasture, each duplicate animal beyond the first one must be removed, and for each one you must discard one point as well! In addition to tiles with Farms, there are also Village tiles, which can become part of a City together with Town tiles, but in contrast to them, they don't separate Pastures. The key to this expansion is to try to place routes, towns, and fences in a way that keeps fields containing animals of the same type separate to avoid losing both animals and points. Easy to say, perhaps, but succeeding may be more difficult than it sounds. Just like all other expansions, the Countryside Expansion comes with Objective tiles: for example, the Vineyard wants to be part of an area of at least 5 connected Field tiles with no Animal pawns, while the Hills must have at least 3 Animals around them. Contents: 44 Countryside Route tiles 12 Countryside Objective tiles 13 Cows 13 Pigs 13 Sheep cloth bag rulebook
Games Board Games Horrible Guild Rail Road Tiles Railroad Tiles , a sequel to the roll-and-write series Railroad Ink , is a quick-playing tile placement game in which you pick tiles and place routes to build an interconnected community. The game is played over eight rounds. You start each round by drafting your tiles from the sets available in the common pool, then you place your routes in front of you, trying to make as many connections as possible; be careful not to lock yourself in with choices that are too constraining. Each round, you can also place cars, trains, or travelers to populate the tiny little landscape you're creating - as long as you have free space on your tiles. The available actions change from round to round, so you need to prepare in advance! The more pieces of the same kind each new placement connects to, the more points you earn. You can also score bonus points at game's end for placing tiles in a large rectangle without gaps and for creating sets of three adjacent city tiles.

Games Board Games Brotherwise Games Super Boss Monsters After a decade of dungeon-building fun, Boss Monster is leveling up to the next generation with Super Boss Monster ! 1-4 players compete to build the ultimate side-scrolling dungeon by drafting room cards, playing spells, and luring in hapless adventurers. Super Boss Monster introduces the Town Board, which brings in new mechanics to the classic card game. Random room draws are replaced with a simple draft. Heroes still show up in town, but overflow into Locations (Temple, Stadium, Library, Hide-Out, and Tavern) where players can nab them with your all-new Minion meeple!

Games Board Games Red Raven Above And Below Haunted You and your family have lived in the marshlands for generations. But your hometown is getting crowded and you’ve heard of a group of villages to the west, in a landscape of azure lakes, where the constantly flowing water has created a maze of watery caves, sinkholes, underground streams, and porous bedrock. There’s opportunity to start a new life there, catching fish, living in a stilt house on the lake, and exploring the deep sinkholes for rare ingredients and rusty treasures. You’ve packed up your favorite fishing pole and strapped the baby to your back, ready for a fresh start. If only you’d known about the ghosts, you might have stayed where you were. Above and Below: Haunted is a standalone sequel to Above and Below (The character tokens are compatible between editions), planned to release on the 10th anniversary of the original game.
