De 3e uitbreiding voor het populaire expertspel Orléans. Mon Dieu, quelle horror! De inwoners van Orléans zijn zwaar getroffen door de pest, die hen veel leed en ellende brengt. Er zijn veel doden te betreuren, en zelfs de pestdokter kan de lang lijdende inwoners slechts beperkte verlichting en hoop bieden. Ook de geestelijkheid heeft weinig te bieden. Uiteindelijk staat iedereen er dus alleen voor en moet hij zijn volgelingen zo goed mogelijk beschermen... Wanneer je de uitbreiding Orléans: De Pest gebruikt, worden de spelvoorwaarden vanaf het begin van het spel strenger gemaakt dankzij de "rattenkaarten". Soms zijn er minder monniken in het spel, soms mogen er geen tandwielen op plaatskaarten worden geplaatst of moet de bouw van handelsposten met een extra munt worden betaald. Nieuwe evenementen zijn nu ook gekoppeld aan de "lijkfiches", waarvan spelers aan het einde van elke ronde een bepaald aantal in hun buidel moeten stoppen. Deze tokens kunnen aan het begin van de ronde willekeurig uit de zak worden getrokken en nemen waardevolle ruimte in beslag op de marktplaats, omdat ze voor geen enkele actie gebruikt kunnen worden. Om ze definitief kwijt te raken, kan een speler aflaatkaarten vervullen door middel van pelgrimstochten, donaties of andere voorwaarden, die aan het einde van het spel ook overwinningspunten opleveren. Gelukkig heeft elke speler een "pestdokter", een nieuw figuur dat (bijna) elke ronde beschikbaar is en universeel gebruikt kan worden.

De Middeleeuwen: in Orléans en omgeving stelt iedere spelers zijn eigen gevolg samen uit boeren, handelaren, ridders, monniken. .Je hebt je volgelingen en hun kwaliteiten hard nodig om je macht uit te breiden, ofwel door te handelen, als vakman of in dienst van de wetenschap. Ridders zorgen ervoor dat je meer acties kunt uitvoeren en ze zijn ook hard nodig om handelsreizen te begeleiden. In het dorp kun je vaklieden vinden die helpen bij de bouw van handelshuizen en die gereedschap kunnen maken. Geleerden zijn belangrijk omdat zij wetenschappelijke vooruitgang boeken. Tenslotte kan het geen kwaad om actief te zijn in het klooster, want met de hulp van monniken ben je minder aan het lot overgeleverd. Je wilt altijd meer acties uitvoeren dan je kunt en er zijn vele wegen die naar je doel leiden. De kunst is om uit de verschillende spelelementen een combinatie te kiezen die het beste bij je strategie past.

Stonesaga is een coöperatief survival crafting-spel met een campagne, dat zich afspeelt in een unieke, blijvende wereld die wordt gevormd door de keuzes die je maakt. In Stonesaga ontvouwt zich het verhaal van de bewoners van een afgelegen gletsjervallei over meerdere tijdperken. Je begeleidt verschillende generaties personages die onder zware omstandigheden een bestaan proberen op te bouwen, terwijl ze geconfronteerd worden met wonderlijke mysteries en enorme monsters. Elke speelsessie beslaat één generatie binnen de samenleving en bouwt voort op wat er eerder is gebeurd. Gebeurtenissen in het spel en de keuzes van de spelers veranderen de vallei blijvend. Stonesaga is ontworpen voor flexibel spelen: je kunt de volledige campagne met één vaste groep doorlopen, met wisselende spelers spelen of het spel zelfs zonder problemen van de ene groep aan de andere doorgeven. Sommige spelonderdelen worden permanent aangepast, maar nooit volledig verwijderd of weggegooid. Stonesaga volgt een herkenbaar ritme. Wanneer zich een nieuwe kans of crisis aandient, moeten de bewoners van de vallei inspelen op de veranderende behoeften van hun samenleving. Tegelijkertijd proberen de andere bewoners van de vallei, onsterfelijke beesten, vanuit hun instincten hun eigen behoeften te vervullen. Je zult beide uitdagingen het hoofd moeten bieden en kracht, behendigheid, overtuiging en opmerkzaamheid moeten inzetten om als gemeenschap in de wildernis te overleven. Stonesaga introduceert een compleet nieuw crafting-systeem dat draait om ontdekking. Denk je dat je een scherpe steen en een stok kunt combineren tot een speer? Voer de crafting-actie uit en ontdek het zelf. Gaandeweg leer je de eigenschappen van verschillende materialen kennen en breid je je kennis van mogelijke recepten steeds verder uit. Werk samen als gemeenschap om jullie dorp op te bouwen. Begin met een eenvoudige vuurplaats en een tent en ontwikkel je nederzetting uiteindelijk tot een beschaving met bijvoorbeeld een smederij en bibliotheek die generaties lang standhoudt. Stonesaga beloont nieuwsgierigheid en verkenning, waardoor je de wereld tijdens iedere speelsessie op een andere manier kunt ervaren. Binnen de vaste regels van de wereld ontdek je zelf bijzondere materialen, monsters en gebieden zonder dat het spel je daar rechtstreeks naartoe stuurt. Wie graag onderzoekt en experimenteert, krijgt in Stonesaga alle ruimte om dat te doen. Deze set bevat Stonesaga, Meals & Myths en Nature of the Beast.

From the void between dimensions emerged an ancient cosmic entity, corrupting, devouring, and consuming everything in its path. In the aftermath of the catastrophe known as Voidfall, the admirals of the fallen galactic empire, the Domineum, forged a desperate contingency plan. To preserve the legacy of human civilization against the Voidborn threat, a former imperial flagship, the Revenant, was repurposed to carry vast databases of all humanity's accumulated knowledge and escape the fallen empire. Now, laden with humanity's last hope and escorted by the ships of the Domineum's last Great Houses, you must lead the fleet to safety beyond the known galaxies, balancing fragile alliances and securing not only humanity's survival but also your own political destiny. Revenant is a standalone, competitive worker-placement game of shifting loyalties, set in the Voidfall universe. Players take on the role of rival admirals coordinating the defense of a fleeing starfleet and vying for influence with the factions that might survive the journey.

Each ship is associated with one of the Great Houses, and every time you assign crew to it, you increase your influence with that House. The journey will be arduous. The corrupted forces of the Voidborn constantly attack the fleet, damaging various ships at the end of each round. You can help protect the fleet by destroying enemy ships, repairing allied vessels, or maneuvering into safe zones, or ultimately activating the Revenant's hyperdrive to jump to a safer sector. Whatever you do, there will be casualties, and you must ensure that the Houses in which you have influence are better protected than the rest. Revenant spices up the resource management and engine-building of a mid-weight euro with dynamic tactical challenges, constant player interaction, and shifting alliances.
