“Natural disasters will soon be a thing of the past!” exclaimed Professor Sêni Lativ, meteorological manipulation project leader at Lightning Technologies. Tests of his new invention, the Weather Machine, showed positive results. Visions of taming floods, taming cyclones and ending droughts made him smile. In Weather Machine you are scientists on Prof. Lativ's team, tampering with the local weather: adjusting rainfall for farms, maintaining wind and clear air for ecological energy sources, and adjusting temperatures for resorts and sporting events. The prototype is quite effective so far; However, a pattern has emerged that reveals a worrying side effect: every use of the weather machine also changes conditions elsewhere on the planet – a "butterfly effect". “We need to build a new prototype,” he announces; "...but this time we're going to do it right. The government is funding this, and we're going to succeed." As Prof. Lativ explains the plan, the need to find suppliers for enough bots and chemicals is high. In addition to the materials, time is of the essence; you have to be focused and efficient…

Lisboa is a game about the reconstruction of Lisboa after the great earthquake of 1755. On November 1, 1755, Lisbon was struck by an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 8.5-9.0, followed by a tsunami and three days of fires. The city was almost completely destroyed. The Marquis of Pombal - Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo - was the then Minister of Foreign Affairs and the King put him in charge of rebuilding Lisbon. The Marquis of Pombal assembled a team of engineers and architects and you, the players, are members of the nobility; members who will use your influence in the reconstruction and business development of the new city. You work with the architects to rebuild Lisbon, with the Marquis to develop trade and with the King to open all the buildings, but the real reason you do all this is not for grandeur or fame or even fortune, but for the most important thing at that time: wigs. Lisboa is played on a map of central Lisbon. When planning the downtown project, it was determined in advance what type of business is allowed on each street. The economic engine is powered by the wealth of the royal treasure and this treasure is controlled by player actions during the game, making each game a completely different experience. The game ends after a fixed number of rounds and whoever has collected the most wigs at the end of the game wins. Lisboa is played in rounds. Each round, all players play one turn. They may place one card on their display or replace one card from this display. During the game, players schedule hearings to gain character favors such as trading, construction, and openings. Players must manage influence, building permits, shop permits, church power, workers, and money, with the cost of workers depending on the players' prestige.

I'm the Boss: The Dice Game and Banana Blitz are two games that the Eagle-Gryphon team found while digging through Sid's prototypes and his diary entries about his best games that had never been published. The name and gameplay of Banana Blitz comes from Sid's notes: exactly as they are written. The original name for 'I'm the Boss: The Dice Game' was 'Deal me in'. The original game almost felt like a finished project when Sid left it in 1981. His meticulous notes and calculations in his diary allowed us to recreate the gameplay as Sid intended. We took some liberties in modernizing the artistic design of both games, but we are confident that Sid would have approved of the end result, which we are proud to present. Scope was brought to Eagle-Gryphon's attention by game designer Joe Huber. Sid originally created this never-before-published large group game for a group at a veterans home in New York. Little has been added to Sid's original concept and rules for this game. I'm the Boss: The Dice Game: Number of players: 3 - 6 players Game time: 30 - 60 minutes Age: from 14 years Banana Blitz Number of players: 2 or 7 players Game time: 30 minutes Age: from 14 years Scope Number of players: 1 - 4 players Game time: 10 minutes Age: from 14 years

No mission will be as important as the last, as you rescue the young Dauphin, heir to the French throne, by taking him to Vienna.
