Cascadia is a puzzling tile-laying and token-drafting game about the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. In the game you take turns building your own terrain and populating it with wildlife. You start with three hexagonal habitat tiles (with five types of habitats in play) and on a turn you choose a new habitat tile linked to a nature token. Place the tile next to your other one and place the nature token on a suitable habitat. (Each tile shows 1-3 types of wildlife out of the five species in the game, and you can place up to one tile on a habitat.) There are four tiles in the display, with each tile randomly paired with a nature token, so you have to make the best of what's available - unless you have a nature token to spend so you can choose any item. The Games Friends: Cascadia is a real hit! It has the same ease as Calico, but we still find this game a lot more fun. Due to the different animal cards, there is sufficient variation in the game, which makes it something that is often on the table here. Highly recommended!

After the 1889 World Exhibition, everyone is talking about it: electric street lighting! As the city of light, Paris also leads the way in this. In this fast-paced 2-player game you take on the role of a city planner with the task of lighting the city as beautifully as possible to attract visitors and inspire artists. You and your opponent take turns first placing a city tile with which you lay down the plan for the city or you choose a building to place in the second phase of the game. Make sure that your own city areas are large enough to accommodate prestigious buildings and of course that there are enough lampposts to illuminate them!

Teotihuacan: City of the Gods is a strategic game in which the use of workers and raw materials, smart planning and adaptability are important. Each player orders a group of dice workers to move around action locations on a modular board. On his turn, each player moves a worker to a new location, chooses one of the two action options there (and upgrades his workers) or takes a strong bonus action (but without upgrading). As the mysterious decline of Teotihuacan approaches, players acquire technologies, work on the beautiful Pyramid of the Sun, build homes for the city's inhabitants, collect precious masks and climb the stairs of three great temples to earn bonuses given by the gods. Create a strategy, change it with every other board build, and keep an eye on the sky, because every upcoming solar eclipse means your efforts will be evaluated - and your fame could rise or become worthless. The Games Friends: “ Are you a fan of a strategic board game where you can win in many different ways? Then Teotihuacan is highly recommended. In terms of difficulty, we think it is a bit comparable to Terra Mystica and the theme is of course reminiscent of Tzolk'in (a game by the same maker). Apart from all that, Teotihuacan is a unique game with many possibilities. In our opinion, highly recommended! We really enjoy playing it!”

In Villainous, each player takes control of one of six Disney characters, each a villain in a different Disney film. Each player has their own villain card, playing deck, player board and 3D character. During a turn, the active player moves their character to a different location on their player board, takes one or more of the actions visible on that space (often by playing cards from their hand), and then replenishes their hand to four cards. Cards include allies, items, effects, conditions, and (for some characters) curses. You must use your cards to fulfill your unique win condition. One of the actions allows you to choose another player, draw two cards from his playing deck, and then play one of them on that player's board, covering two of the four action spaces in one of that player's locations. The play deck contains heroes, items and effects from that villain's movie and these cards allow other players to thwart that specific villain.

Ah, money. There's nothing like the sound of coins clinking in your hand. You certainly prefer it to the sound of coins in other people's hands, or to the sound of coins in a safe that no one can reach without first raising their status. Increasing status is behind you. Life has been good to you. 10 years ago you still worked in your own fields with a simple straw hat on your head. Today your kingdom stretches from sea to sea and your straw hat is the largest the world has ever seen. You also own the smallest dog in the world and a life-size statue of yourself made of baklava. Of course, money cannot buy happiness, but it can buy jealousy, anger and also a kind of empty feeling. You still have problems – disruptive neighbors that need to be defeated. But this time you do it in style. This expansion to Dominion contains 25 new kingdom cards and 2 new standard cards, allowing players to build beyond Gold and Provinces. The central theme is wealth; there are money cards with action capabilities, cards that interact with money cards, and expensive, powerful cards. Dominion Welvaart makes it possible to do more with your money cards. Therefore, you now play them in an order of your choice, performing any actions before playing the next card. Since there is a lot more money in the game than usual, you can buy standard cards like Platinum (which is worth 5 coins) and Colony (which is worth 10 victory points). There are also cards that provide extra victory points in the form of tokens. With this expansion, the options become even greater than they already were! The Games Friends: " In Dominion: Prosperity, decks with too few money cards are an end, because you will become rich. That is why the more expensive coin and victory cards are a solution. Because you have a lot of money, you have the feeling that you have much more than with other expansions. That is a big advantage, but it changes the game considerably. "Another fantastic expansion on Dominion. "

The end of the game is activated when each player has created a pattern of 5x3 cards in their personal playing area. In a game, each player has a turn exactly 13 times. Then the scoring follows.

Fast-paced, nerve-wracking dice game, in which a player must dice both rabbits and cages to score points. As long as he throws the correct symbols, he can continue. If the risk becomes too great for him, he can stop and write points. On your turn, you roll the dice and must put at least one rabbit aside. You can also set aside cages, but you must do this in ascending order. You also have to put away carrots, but you are not allowed to throw them again. Then you re-roll any dice that were not set aside. You continue like this until you can't or don't want to go any further. If you cannot put rabbits aside after a throw, you do not score any points. If you decide to quit, you score the number of rabbits thrown multiplied by the level of your cages. Then it is the next player's turn. However, he or she may choose to take the risk and continue playing with the number of points you have written. Are you one of the daredevils or do you prefer to be on the safe side? Rabbit Hutches fits perfectly into our series of dice games and is ideal for holidays. Up to 7 players can participate!

Spicy is an exciting, engaging card game with beautiful artwork and excellent production quality. The cards are illustrated with forty different works of art. Moreover, not only does the music box shine in chic metallic gold, but the card backs are also decorated with a gold-colored finish. During your turn you can play a card or draw a card. To play a card, you must either start a pile or play a higher card of the same suit. Stacks can only be started with cards numbered 1 to 3. Once a stack reaches 10, a 1 to 3 of the same suit must be played on it. When playing a card, players announce the card they are supposedly playing. Players can bluff and essentially play any card they want because all cards are played face down. And after each card is played, players can challenge it by number or color. Challenging doesn't cost you many cards: you draw two cards, but you immediately play one. Early in the game, everyone has a handful of cards, so the odds aren't necessarily in the challenger's favor, but the accusations start coming when players' hands start to empty. The winner of the challenge receives the accumulation of spicy cards. The loser draws cards and starts a new pile. If a player runs out of cards, he may take one of the three trophy cards. The game ends when a player has two trophy cards, in which case that player wins. Each trophy card is worth 10 points, each captured spicy card is 1 point, and cards still in a player's hand are worth one minus point. Spicy contains six game variant cards, but high replayability is guaranteed even without these variants.
