In the heart of Viennese modernism, cafés compete for customers. Inspiring artists, important politicians and tourists from all over the world populate Vienna and need a hotel room. This is your chance to transform your small café into a world-famous hotel. Hire staff, fulfill your guests' wishes and win the Emperor's favor. Only then will your café become the Grand Austria Hotel. The starting player rolls the dice, sorts them by the number rolled and places them on the corresponding action spaces. On a turn, a player chooses one of six actions and carries it out. The number of dice available in the corresponding action spaces determines how much the player gets from the action. The player then removes one of the dice and can perform additional actions. With the different actions a player can obtain the necessary drinks and dishes, prepare the rooms or hire staff. But no hotel can grow without guests. Smartly choosing which guests to attract and completing their orders brings important bonus promotions. The staff cards also have several advantages, but the game ends after seven rounds and no player can do everything they want. Therefore, the one who makes the right decisions and finds the best way to create bonus promotions wins. With 116 different cards and a new setup in each game, Grand Austria Hotel offers tremendous replayability. Each game stands alone and requires new tactics and strategies.

In line with its predecessor (Agricola), Caverna is essentially a worker-placement game with an emphasis on farming. In the game you are the bearded leader of a small dwarf family living in a cave in the mountains. You start the game with a farmer and his wife, with each member of the farmer's family representing an action that the player can perform each turn. Together you cultivate the forest in front of your cave and dig deeper into the mountain. You design the caves as places for your descendants to live and as workspaces for small businesses. It's up to you how much ore you want to mine. You'll need it to forge weapons that will allow you to go on expeditions to obtain bonus items and actions. As you dig through the mountain, you may come across water springs and discover ore and ruby ​​mines that will help you increase your wealth. Right in front of your cave you can increase your wealth even further with farming: you can clear the forest to sow fields and fence meadows to hold your animals. You can also expand your family as your farm grows. Ultimately, the player with the most efficiently developed home game board wins. You can also play the solo version of this game to familiarize yourself with the 48 different layout tiles for your cave. Caverna, with a playing time of approximately 30 minutes per player, is a complete redesign of Agricola that replaces the maps from the previous game with a set of buildings, while adding the ability to purchase weapons and send your peasants on quests to further obtain resources. Designer Uwe Rosenberg says the game contains parts of Agricola, but also has new ideas, especially the part of your game board where the cave is, where you can build mines and look for rubies. The game also features two new animals: dogs and donkeys.
