In Trails of Tucana, each player receives a map showing the main villages, sights and various terrains. Each turn, two terrain cards are revealed. All players draw a route between those two areas, somewhere on their own map. You can score points by connecting matching villages and by connecting villages with points of interest. The game ends when the deck of terrain cards is completely depleted for the second time. Whoever has the most points wins the game. This pack also includes the Trails of Tucana: Ferry expansion. Inside you will find two new playing blocks: one with the island cards from the basic game and one with two new islands. With the new map, players will have two new island maps for Isla Bahía and Isla Habita. On both maps, ferries help players cross stretches of sea — and on Isla Habita, three additional villages offer new challenges.

Revive is a 1-4 player game with asymmetrical player powers, a highly variable setup, and no combat or direct conflict. Playing the 5-part campaign unlocks additional content, and once all content is unlocked, the game can be replayed indefinitely. At the start of the game, each player is given a set of citizen cards, a tribe board, and a huge double-sided player board. The tribe board shows your unique tribe skills and the ancient technologies that you can relearn throughout the game. The double-sided player board is where you place your custom machines and upgrade your cards. A major goal of the game is to reach and populate the great ancient sites. These ancient locations are random, and because they are important sources of victory points, they will affect your strategy in different ways each time you play.

In Santa Maria you expand your colony by placing buildings on your colony board. Workers (dice) are used to activate buildings. The nice thing is that each die activates a complete row or column of buildings in your colony and that this happens in order. This makes it very important that you take into account where you place your buildings. In addition, you also produce resources, create routes for your ships and try to recruit monks. If you succeed, you must decide whether to go for a permanent bonus or rather receive a one-time bonus. The player who has scored the most points at the end of three rounds wins the game. Due to the large amount of bonuses and buildings, the replayability of Santa Maria is very high!

Tucana Builders is an easy to learn game for those who enjoy challenging tile games.

House of Cats is a fast and clever roll-and-write game, and the first joint design from seasoned designers William Attia and Kristian A Østby.
