After the fall of Rome, Europe fell into the so-called 'Dark Ages'. Out of the chaos emerged feudalism, which gave the region stability for centuries to come. In the High Middle Ages, the region was prosperous despite much fighting. From your walled city, you are a medieval feudal lord who rules the surrounding lands, settlements, and properties granted by birthright. This is your fief, and all that is in it is faithful to you above all others and true to you. Each lord and lady rules a neighboring fief and competes for resources in the unclaimed but plentiful lands of the countryside between them. Tensions are high and petty feuds arise between you and your neighbors until scouts report a new and deadly threat. Invaders have invaded from the east! Their vast army is camped on the edges of your empire, and this new common enemy endangers the entire country. Refugees from the fallen eastern countries seek shelter and bring with them stories of destruction. Old rivalries must be put aside to focus on the coming onslaught and remain unbroken. After The Empire is a worker placement/resource management game set in the Middle Ages. During each turn, known as a season, players alternately use worker tokens to perform actions such as gathering resources, building advanced buildings, and recruiting refugees. Once all workers have been deployed, players harvest food from their surrounding lands and prepare for battle. During each season's battles, invader cards are revealed, showing a random number of troops and a compass direction of attack. Only the richest castles will attract the attention of larger forces and their siege weapons. You must repair your city and recruit and arm your troops quickly to have a chance. The winner is the lord or lady who best preserved their fief and collected the most gold. Your life, your wealth, your fief and your legacy must be protected at all costs!

In Silver Dagger, just like in the other Silver card games, everyone starts the game with five face-down cards, of which everyone can look at two cards. Cards are numbered 0-13, with the number indicating how many werewolves the character on that card attracts, and each character (number) has a different special power.

The mystical island of Emberheart is home to the last dragons. They lived in harmony with the villagers until poachers from the Far Lands arrived to capture, plunder, and steal. To keep the island safe, the dragon ambassador now seeks the king's support. As one of the king's champions, your mission is to work with the villagers, rescue and protect dragons, and confront the evil poachers. Emberheart is a fast-paced, medium-level worker placement game for 2–4 players. As one of the king's champions, you recruit heroes, rescue dragons and expand their reserves, train your own dragon companion, and combat roaming poachers. On your turn, you either take an aide token (which grants you a unique bonus for that round) or send a group of mercenaries to one of the island's locations. The number of mercenaries you send is just as important as the location: the more you deploy to a location, the sooner you get to choose from the scarce rewards, and the less chance your opponents have of outbidding you with a larger group. You have a variety of mercenaries at your disposal: servants are versatile but one-time use, while scouts, woodsmen, and guards are permanent but limited to specific locations. Your dragon companion can also join a mercenary group when deployed, and then grants different bonuses depending on how you've trained it. The location rewards allow you to recruit heroes with unique abilities, rescue dragons from the poachers' grasp and safely house them in appropriate reserves, and launch counterattacks against the poachers. Some actions, and the poacher raid at the end of each round, can get you burned; advancing too far on the flame trail will take its toll at the end of the game. Rescuing dragons, recruiting heroes, training your dragon companion, and keeping your flame low will earn you fame at the end of the game. After five rounds, the champion with the most fame wins and inherits the title of dragon ambassador.
