I stumbled upon a midnight market. It wasn't selling flowers or farm goods. It was a more curious sort of cargo: energy capacitors, strange crystalline material, and something green and jiggly. Since then, I’ve been dragged into it, deep into the thick of it.I paid a stranger more than I should have for manufacturing plans I hardly understood. Worse yet, they sold the same stuff to my best friend. Now, I have to get my supply lines up and running to prepare for shipping my cargo. And, if my friend starts shipping some of this Curious Cargo, I’ll have to intercept their trucks and corner the market that way.By hook or by crook, I’m going to be the king of Curious Cargo.Curious Cargo is a two player game where you go head-to-head against your opponent by building up the infrastructure of your facility, calling in trucks at the right moment, all while perfectly timing the shipping and receiving of cargo to score the most points.

Ship your custom-shaped cargo tokens to your opponent to interfere with their logistics plans!For your first game, we recommend playing in the Day Mode which uses 2-color Conveyor tiles.

In Black Forest, you start out with a small domain in need of new buildings and livestock. You’ll travel from village to village to enlist the aid of the best specialists. Exploiting the abilities of these specialists lets you collect resources, lay out new landscape tiles (e.g., ponds and fields), and build a variety of buildings, which come in four types:"Immediate" buildings with a one-time effectProcessing buildings and buildings with an ongoing effectBuildings that provide bonus points at the end of the game for various accomplishments
Choose the right buildings, place landscapes, fire up your glass production, and expand your domain.Two resource wheels on your tableau help you keep track of your resources and production.A wide selection of buildings and their different effects offer many different paths to victory.
Uwe Rosenberg’s legendary resource wheels are making once again making their presence, made famous in Glass Road (2013). Black Forest continues the story - as the name suggests — in the Black Forest. Among others, the main difference between the two games is the the action selection (Worker Placement/Black Forest vs. Simultaneous Action Selection/Glass Road).
Beer & Bread is a multi-use card game for two players. Its clever structure of alternating rounds puts a fascinating twist on player interaction, card drafting, and resource management.
Founded on the fruitful lands of an erstwhile monastery, two villages have held up the dual tradition of brewing beer and baking bread. While sharing fields and resources, they still find pride in their friendly rivalry of besting each other’s produce.
Each of you represents one of these villages. Over the course of six years - which alternate between fruitful and dry - you must harmonize your duties of harvesting and storing resources, producing beer and bread, selling them for coins and upgrading your facilities.>
However, in order to win, you must maintain the balance between your baked and liquid goods. Because, after the sixth year, you only score the coins collected from the type of good - beer or bread - for which you earned less. The village with the higher score wins.
Ark Nova: Zoo Map Pack 2 features five new zoo designs, with the same design on all four game boards so that players can compete in the same layout and with four different zoo boards with new and interesting abilities on the opposite side of these game boards.
In the new Draw & Write game from the Orléans series, only a limited selection of workers is available.Only a small pool of workers is drawn from the bag each round, which are used by all players in turn. The pool gets smaller and smaller until the last player has only one worker left. Do you only concentrate on your own game or do you want to actively take away workers your opponents need so desperately. Find out and work out your own strategy.
Alternatively, you can oppose Joan of Arc in the solo variant and prove that you can take on the heroine of the French.
Each player has their own small island paradise where they grow delicious fruit. To win, you must gain the most points by cleverly supplying ships and by adding the best businesses to your island.
Your turn in Juicy Fruits works like this: First, you slide one of your fruit collector tokens a number of unblocked spaces and collect that many fruits of the token's type: banana, orange, lime, pomegranate, or mangosteen. Then you may either fulfill the order of a ship on your shores or claim a business from a shared display and place it onto your island (or do nothing). Clever planning and timing is vital because until you supply the ships on your shores, they block valuable island space which could be used to collect more fruit — but if you concentrate too much on the ships, the most promising businesses may get snatched by your opponents. Also, the sooner businesses are claimed, the quicker the game might end.
With each play, Juicy Fruits poses new puzzles of how to move your tokens efficiently and how to balance clearing your island with claiming businesses. The game also includes an additional juice factory mode and four modes of solo play.
