Are you a motivated ant or a busy bee? Arthropods is the English term for the family of arthropods that play the leading role in this board game. With the contents of this box you can play no less than four different games. Strategically building your colony using the hexagon-shaped tiles is central to all of them, although each game has its own rules that determine the difficulty of the game. Happy Honey Beez: This game is the easiest of the four. In Happy Honey Beez, each player starts with a queen and three workers in hand and each turn you connect one to four hexagon tiles to the board. With these tiles you try to build a beehive to score points. In addition, you put your workers to work to collect pollen on the meadow tiles and then convert it into honey in a honey chamber. You can also score points with honey. Knights in Buzzing Armor: This game continues where Happy Honey Beez stops. The honey produced by the workers is now also needed to care for an egg and thus expand your bee colony. Furthermore, there are also drones that defend against hostile bees or can sting as a last resort. This makes the bees on the board increasingly important for thwarting your opponents or scoring extra points yourself. Antropolis: This starter variant of the ants is a bit more difficult than the bees. Although a similar game mechanism is used, it is a completely different game. Here too, you win by getting the most points, but this can be done by building both nests and tunnels. There is also a larger variety of hexagon tiles and you can connect or buy more in one turn. Worker ants collect food on forest tiles for this purpose, but are also needed to maintain constructed tunnels. Of course, the queen is needed to score points through both building tunnels and claiming nests. Supersize Colony: This is the hardest variant in Arthropods and requires all ants. Unlike bees, you don't have to hatch ants to use them. When you feed a larva, you can immediately exchange it for a soldier or worker. Just like in Antropolis, the workers are needed to gather food, but they are also essential in caring for your larvae. The soldiers ensure that your workers stay safe, but you also need them to mate.

In Tectonic Tribes, five tribes navigate the mysterious world of Joldu, a world where the terrain is still forming and shifting tectonic plates constantly reveal new surprises. Each of these Tectonic Tribes aims to secure territories for themselves. Which tribe will emerge victorious when the terrain settles? Players take turns playing cards in the ever-expanding territory between them. This allows various territories, such as forests, water areas, and diamond mines, to expand. However, because the cards are stacked on top of each other, the territories can also be interrupted. A player can place a tribe card adjacent to a territory and score points this way. But be careful! You only score points if your tribe has the majority of tents adjacent to a territory. If another tribe has more tents adjacent to the same territory, your opponent gets the points and you get nothing. The order in which cards are placed is determined by the number in the corner of the card. The player who plays the highest card is the first to place a territory or tribe card in the territory. At least one and a maximum of five of the territory cards must always overlap with a card already on the table. Try to cleverly expand your own territories and interrupt your opponents' territories so that you end up with the largest tribe and win the game.

Are you a motivated ant or a busy bee? Arthropods is the English term for the family of arthropods that play the leading role in this board game. With the contents of this box you can play no less than four different games. Strategically building your colony using the hexagon-shaped tiles is central to all of them, although each game has its own rules that determine the difficulty of the game. Happy Honey Beez: This game is the easiest of the four. In Happy Honey Beez, each player starts with a queen and three workers in hand and each turn you connect one to four hexagon tiles to the board. With these tiles you try to build a beehive to score points. In addition, you put your workers to work to collect pollen on the meadow tiles and then convert it into honey in a honey chamber. You can also score points with honey. Knights in Buzzing Armor: This game continues where Happy Honey Beez stops. The honey produced by the workers is now also needed to care for an egg and thus expand your bee colony. Furthermore, there are also drones that defend against hostile bees or can sting as a last resort.

Antropolis: This starter variant of the ants is a bit more difficult than the bees. Although a similar game mechanism is used, it is a completely different game. Here too, you win by getting the most points, but this can be done by building both nests and tunnels. There is also a larger variety of hexagon tiles and you can connect or buy more in one turn. Worker ants collect food on forest tiles for this purpose, but are also needed to maintain constructed tunnels. Of course, the queen is needed to score points through both building tunnels and claiming nests. Supersize Colony: This is the hardest variant in Arthropods and requires all ants. Unlike bees, you don't have to hatch ants to use them. When you feed a larva, you can immediately exchange it for a soldier or worker. Just like in Antropolis, the workers are needed to gather food, but they are also essential in caring for your larvae. The soldiers ensure that your workers stay safe, but you also need them to mate.

Conventies in de kunst zijn als een mes dat aan twee kanten snijdt: een machtig wapen voor de kundige gebruiker, een dodelijke val voor de incapabele. Een echte kunstenaar weet hoe hij dit mes moet belopen als een koorddans, waarbij hij de uitersten in evenwicht houdt met finesse en precisie. Raak te gehecht aan kunst in haar huidige vorm en je zult als passé en irrelevant worden beschouwd. Innoveer te radicaal en je kunst zal niet eens als zodanig herkend worden, of - als dat wel gebeurt - zal zij bespot en veracht worden. Laat je kunst nieuwe dingen zeggen, terwijl je met het oude in gesprek blijft. Beheers deze paradox. Een levendige dialoog is de sleutel tot je succes.

‘Ik heb nu wel genoeg van gerookte vis,’ bromt de schepen van een klein Hollands stadje. ‘Breng me wat appels om de maaltijd af te sluiten.’ Zijn knecht kijkt bezorgd. ‘We hebben geen appels meer, heer. De familie De Witt heeft vlak bij onze gronden turf gestoken en nu staat het waterpeil in onze boomgaarden te hoog.’ De schepen trekt zijn gezicht in een frons. ‘Ik ga naar de graaf van Holland en dien een klacht in. De graaf kiest vast mijn kant.’ De knecht buigt en vertrekt. Hij weet dat de graaf net alle waterbeslissingen heeft overgedragen aan een nieuwe rechtbank in de buurt. En de rechter die daar de leiding heeft, is getrouwd met de zus van De Witt… Bailiff of Boskoop is een strategiespel dat zich afspeelt in de late middeleeuwen en de vroegmoderne tijd in Rijnland, onderdeel van het graafschap Holland in het huidige Nederland. 2–5 spelers nemen de rol aan van lokale families. Familieleden kunnen land claimen. Sommigen stijgen op tot invloedrijke figuren, zoals stichter van een dorp, rechter of lokale eendenhandelaar. De familie met de meeste grond aan het einde van het spel wint. Een potje duurt 150–240 minuten.
