In War of the Ring: The Card Game, up to 4 players compete in two teams, with each player using a specific and different deck that represents the strengths and weaknesses of the different factions involved in the war. The Free Peoples desperately try to complete their quest to destroy the Ring, while simultaneously defending their homeland against the advancing hordes of Sauron and his evil allies. The Shadow Players must strike quickly and decisively before the ring bearers can complete their quest; or try to win Frodo over slowly by burdening him with wounds and the grief of losing his companions. During the game, players take turns playing cards that represent the characters, armies, items, and events of the War of the Ring. Every card they play will help or hinder the Fellowship's journey whether they are used to defend or conquer the strongholds of Middle-earth. With more than 100 original illustrations from the world's greatest Tolkienian artists, including an astonishing gallery of landscapes from The Shire to Mordor by John and Fataneh Howe, War of the Ring: The Card Game is more than a game: it's also a memorable one collection for all lovers of the world, created by JRR Tolkien.

Players are Stock Brokers during the Second Industrial Revolution and try to make as much money as possible while also appearing like good citizens by donating money to charity. Over the course of the game, players buy or sell stocks and then manipulate stock prices with the cards they share with their two neighbors. In addition, players donate shares to charities. The person who donates the least to charity at the end of the game automatically loses, no matter how rich he or she has become. The game uses a system of shared information where each player knows a little bit about what will happen in the markets and each player knows different pieces of information. The player who makes the most money at the end of the game is the winner, provided he or she is not the one who donated the least to charity.

Gold is the lifeblood of war! As the Hun horde made its way through Europe, they forced the Germanic tribes to exodus. These warring peoples spread within the borders of the Western Roman Empire and would eventually cause the collapse of the empire through plunder and war. In the twilight of antiquity and at the dawn of the Middle Ages, the so-called "barbarian nations" founded kingdoms on the former imperial territory. In Barbarian Kingdoms, an asymmetrical and competitive strategy game, each player controls their own emerging kingdom and battles for dominance over Western Europe. The first player to control seven territories or eliminate two kings wins the game.

In Brazil in the latter part of the 19th century and early 20th century, large landowners, called "coronéis", starved the northeastern part of the country in a vast area that included the Sertão Desert. In this climate of corruption and abuse, the Cangaceiros were born - bandits who violently challenged the ruling system. Cangaceiros is a strategic competitive game in which each player plays as a gang trying to survive in hostile desert areas while being hunted by the Volantes, the state police trained to kill them. Each gang has a leader chosen from the twenty available, each with their own unique skills and characteristics. Management of any seven-card deck is essential, with players using cards to gather resources, place bandits to guard a region, attack the Volantes, attack the prison of the city of Recife, convert accumulated resources into fame, train their leader and recruit new members for the gang. You win by collecting fame points, which are obtained by attacking the Volantes, but also by training your boss to solve his life purpose and help him retire in glory. You also gain fame points in several other ways, and whoever collects the most fame wins.
