Newly added: Week 42 (2024)

Beneath the dense canopy of the Pacific Northwest rainforests exists a thriving ecosystem. Salmon swim upstream, wildflowers and lush ferns cover the moss-covered ground, and a gray wolf stalks its next prey. In Canopy: Evergreen, players compete to grow the tallest trees, collect sets of wild plants, and create abundant habitats to help native wildlife thrive. In the game, players take turns drawing new cards for their forest from three growth piles. Each time you look at a pile, you can either choose it and add the cards to your rainforest tableau, or put the pile back face down and add an additional card to it. As the piles grow, you must seek out the plants and animals that will provide the most benefit to your forest – but choose carefully, as the flora and fauna also contain hazards such as fire, disease and drought. After three seasons, the player who has grown the most abundant rainforest wins! Canopy: Evergreen is a standalone game that features card drafting and set collection similar to the original *Canopy* game, but with new rules for gathering food, growing trees on your forest board to gain permanent bonuses, and feeding interactive wildlife. Lose yourself in the evergreen forest with new plants, animals, and eco-friendly 3D tree tokens that grow as you play!

Dead Cells: The Rogue-Lite Board Game is a dungeon crawler that offers a cooperative rogue-lite experience inspired by the Metroidvania genre, playable with 1-4 players and with a playtime of approximately 45 minutes. Explore the ever-changing island of Dead Cells in this unforgiving dungeon crawler. Explore. Kill. Die. Mutate. Repeat. Choose one of the four Beheaded (wait a minute... Shouldn't there just be one of these guys? Is this another stupid time loop storyline?). Resurrected with little idea of ​​what's going on, you'll explore the castle further. Choose your path carefully within a vast, ever-changing castle. Will you upgrade one of your character's powers with a perk roll? Or will you pick a chest to equip a new weapon? Perhaps you'll find hidden runes that open new paths and access new biomes. This won't be a walk in the park, however, as the island is infested with the hideous creatures born of Malaise. Each class has unique powers and a deck of action cards. For each enemy encounter, you choose just one action card that covers all three phases of a fight. Loot equipment, gold, perk scrolls and Cells from the corpses of your enemies and grow stronger, but beware... Your hit points are limited and sooner or later you will die. Wandering through enemy dungeons isn’t the safest of occupations, even for your decapitated heroes. Sooner or later, you’ll encounter one monster too many, or step into a deadly trap and lose all your perk scrolls, gear, and collected gold. But that’s not the end of it! Even in death, you can keep your precious Cells to mutate. The Collector lets you use your Cells to purchase permanent mutations that will forever increase your power. Choose cards from three different decks: Brutality, Survival, or Tactics. Level up your action cards to improve your deck, find blueprints to expand your loot deck, increase your health pool, and unlock extra item slots. Or throw your Cells into that mysterious well... (That may seem silly, but hey, you decide...). Death isn’t the end, though! You’ve already lost your head, remember? As the day restarts in a new loop, use your new permanent mutations to take revenge on whoever killed you last time. Venture further and deeper into the island, defeating bosses and gaining access to new starting biomes. Previously played biomes will continue to change, as stronger monsters spawn in them, along with powerful new items. (Damn! Does this game ever end?)

Dungeon Legends is a cooperative, standalone card game set in the world of Chronicles of Avel. Throughout the game, you take on the role of heroes who embark on a dangerous quest deep into the dark dungeon. A fully replayable campaign of 5 captivating chapters awaits you, where you must reach the deepest depths and defeat the evil that lurks there, while preventing monsters from reaching the Castle. The game is divided into 5 chapters, each detailing the group’s expedition into the dungeon. They must brave scorching flames, unravel the mysteries of ancient machinery, explore abandoned mines filled with magical Dust, dodge fast-flowing lava, and ultimately confront a timeless evil. We recommend playing the chapters in order, as this will provide you with an engaging campaign with increasing difficulty. However, each chapter also presents a standalone challenge that can be approached repeatedly. Each player embodies a hero with a unique deck that reflects their individual style. As the game progresses, you’ll discover new cards that expand your abilities. A player’s turn consists of playing cards from their hand, applying their effects, attacking monsters, and exploiting areas to their advantage. The core rules remain consistent across all chapters, but each chapter introduces new cards, special rules, and unique goals to achieve victory.

Step into a world of wonder and natural splendor with HUTAN, an immersive family game inspired by the Indonesian word for rainforest. In HUTAN, each player has their own patch of rainforest where they will plant seeds that will eventually grow into towering trees. When a habitat is created, an iconic forest animal will appear, such as the orangutan, the Sumatran tiger, the hornbill, the cassowary or the Sumatran rhino. HUTAN is played over 9 rounds, with each player getting two turns per round. On your turn, you take a flower card from the shared market pool and place the flowers in your rainforest. When you place a flower on top of a matching flower, a tree grows. When an area is full of trees, the last tree is replaced by an animal. At the end of the game, the player who has grown the best rainforest and attracted the most animals, by scoring the most points, wins.
