Edo - what we now know as Tokyo, Japan - was a thriving city with an estimated population of one million, half city dwellers and half samurai. With a huge shopping culture, Edo's main district, Nihonbashi, was lined with shops, selling kimonos, rice and much more. Nihonbashi is the focus of IKI: A Game of EDO Artisans, which takes you on a journey through the famous street of old Tokyo. Hear the voices of the great fish market of Nihonbashi Bridge. Meet the professionals, who carry out 700-800 different jobs. Enter the interactivity of the shoppers and sellers. Become one with the townsfolk. One of the most important professions in the world of Edo is the craftsman. Each of the Edo artisans uses their own craftsmanship to support the lives of the townspeople. In this game there are not only craftsmen, but also street vendors, sellers in the shops and professions unique to this time. Meet the puppeteers putting on a show. Meet the ear cleaners people would line up for. The aim of this game is to become the annual Edoite, the best personification of what is known as "IKI", an ancient philosophy believed to be the ideal way to live among the people of Edo. Knowing the subtleties of human nature, being refined and attractive - these are all elements of a true IKI master.

And do you have the skills to set up entire kingdoms, send the tax collector at the right time (and to the right subjects to prevent uprisings)? Do you know how to make good use of the special skills of the magician and the priest?

In the 16th century, Russia began to expand eastward to develop the vast areas of Siberia. This stage in history is closely associated with the name "Stroganov". In the game Stroganov, players try to collect the best furs to gain wealth and fame as they travel across the vastness of Siberia. They will travel through Siberia in the spring, summer and autumn before returning home each winter. After four years (rounds), the player who has used his actions the best and collected the most victory points wins. Every year the players must move east through the landscape. They can spend horses if they want to travel further. Once they have progressed, they can take a basic action such as trading or collecting furs or coins. Finally, they can take more advanced actions such as visiting a village, setting up a yurt, accepting a Tsar's wish (map), setting up a hunting lodge, or purchasing a landscape field. All of these actions - combined with exploration and some story telling along the way - earn players victory points at the end of the game. Every winter, players return to Tyumen to prepare for a new year. After four years, the game ends, with players scoring victory points based on collecting the correct landscape tiles, fulfilling the Tsar's wishes, building hunting lodges, collecting furs, and more. The Games Friends: Stroganov looks beautiful and has a pretty unique theme. The actions are not too complicated, but the choice of symbols sometimes makes it feel more difficult than it actually is. Due to the changing tiles on the board, there is sufficient variation, but despite this, this game will not be on the table every week due to the enormous competition from other games in this genre. But, definitely recommended to try! Kickstarter edition: - Deluxe edition - Includes stretch goals

The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach 12 points or to have the most points when the “End of Game” card is turned over. The players collect different colored cards and then exchange them for facade tiles of the same color in different shapes (except white special tiles). The tiles depict fields with windows and brickwork. Using the tiles, the players build the facade of their house piece by piece. Every time a floor (row) or part of the house (column) is completed, the player receives points. A row earns 1 point and a column 2 points. These points are doubled if the row or column consists entirely of windows (2 or 4 points respectively). When players build over a coat of arms or complete a special floor (marked with a coat of arms), they receive skill tokens or special tiles, which help them reach their goal faster

You know how it is: someone makes you a fantastic offer of beans, but you can't offer anything in return. You may be able to convince your trading partner to do business with you if you offer them a favor later in the game, but remember – a promise is a promise and a reward is what comes with it. In this Boona Nostra expansion you not only trade with beans and bean dollars, but also with favors. Each player chooses a character card and the corresponding six favor cards. The favor allows players to improve their offers in the trading phase. The player who receives the promise places the favor in front of him. Each player has a maximum of three favors available at the same time, which he can give to his fellow players while trading. The favors can be exchanged at different stages of the game and the player who promised the favor cannot resist at that point. This expansion can be played with three to seven players and is only playable in combination with the basic game Boonanza.

Set in the universe of The Five Realms (Merchants Cove, Rise to Nobility, Cavern Tavern), players will adventure into the Halfling Realm, home to the best, highly talented and most legendary bards in the entire land. As Bards, players will manage a unique tempo-turning mechanic to build temporary Song tableaus from their deck as they explore and activate locations around the lush forest city. Each bard starts with asymmetrical skill decks that suit their style, such as the Bardbarian, Sword Dancer, and Wardrummer. Learn new Bardic skills, tell stories and perform, pacify the dissonant creatures invading the Grove, and compete with other bards for the most Glory and Fame. Once all the glory is collected, the bard with the most combined glory and fame wins! Each turn, players draw two cards from their unique ability deck and play one to their Story (discard pile) for immediate benefits, while the other is added to their Song (tableau). Bardwood Grove challenges players to carefully compose their Song tableaus and coordinate them with their composition cycle that determines how often they sing. As players strategically use resources to upgrade their decks, Songs will unlock powerful combos and allow players to interact with multiple locations. This creates a unique ebb and flow to the game, as players build their songs and then decide where and when to sing them. Rumor has it that Bardwood Grove is full of hidden secrets. As the game is played and decisions are made, players will unlock content and develop the game naturally. An achievement system tied to each game's choices and achievements guides players through a series of unlockable content. As new content emerges during each playthrough, the game offers players new things based on unique outcomes and player decisions. Grove locations will change, additional Bardic abilities can be unlocked, Bard decks become more powerful, new Bards arrive in town, and a variety of characters (both good and evil) can enter the game.
