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!”

"Quick to the ship! Twelve houses from our city have already burned down!" In Evacuation, life on our planet is being wiped out by the increasingly intense solar radiation, so everyone is trying to move all the people and factories in their areas from the "old" planet to a new one - and they have only four rounds to do so. You start the game with a fully functioning economy, and throughout the game you must dismantle and move that economy. Income on the old planet decreases over time, and production probably won't be much better until you establish yourself on the new planet and get things going. Resources cannot be mixed between the planets, so you must pay special attention to your planning. To do this, you choose actions from the player board, with the expert variant adding cards that allow you to choose and combine additional actions. Each action has its own value, and the sum of these actions is important for a bonus at the end of the round. Additionally, players move their markers along the planet's orbit based on the value of their actions. If you can increase the production of three resources to level 8 and have three virtual reality machines on the new planet, you win. Otherwise, players compare their scores after four rounds. Evacuation contains modules to add new play options.

We are in the 19th century, sea transport is becoming increasingly important. Both companies and naval units need increasingly newer ships. Try to put yourself in the role of their manufacturers. Hire employees, buy accessories and gain favor with the review committees. Don't forget to rent a dock and weigh anchor. Players take turns, starting with a random player and then moving around the table. In turn, they choose one of the available actions from the Action Track. The action gives the player something they need to build their ships. On the player's next turn, they advance that Action card over all the others and choose a different action. On their turn, when a player completes a ship (ships consist of small cards depicting bows, stern and (preferably multiple) center sections, with various options to add equipment or crew), it is launched for a sea trial in the channel, where they can score points for speed, crew, equipment or safety. As players take their turns, the row of Action Cards slides around the Action Track. When the leading Action card returns to the Starting position, the countdown marker moves down one space and play continues. The game ends when the countdown marker reaches the end position. (It can also end early if the players run out of Ship Cards.) Bonus points are scored for Government Contracts, and the player with the most points wins. The game takes approximately 30 minutes per player.

The players operate a theater and are responsible for assigning the spectators to their seats. No cards are turned over to determine where to seat the spectators; you make all the choices yourself. An important detail is that you share a reservation board with both your left and right neighbors. On this board, you choose the action you'll perform and the zone in which you'll place the spectators. Each turn, you'll also have to make a permanent change to how spectators are placed in a zone. This makes things easier for yourself, and your opponent will also be affected by your decisions. Each turn, you alternate between the board you share with your left-hand neighbor and the board you share with your right-hand neighbor. Take a Seat is a game with a higher level of interaction and a lower element of luck than comparable ...and-write games. Each game also features new scoring rules, and you can switch between two different theaters, giving the game high replayability. Furthermore, the game is played on erasable player boards, so you don't have to worry about running out of score sheets.
