Carnegie the board game was inspired by the life of Andrew Carnegie who was born in Scotland in 1835. Andrew Carnegie and his parents emigrated to the United States in 1848. Although he began his career as a telegraph operator, he eventually became one of the key players in the rise of the American steel industry. That made him one of the richest men in the world and an icon of the American Dream. Andrew Carnegie was also a benefactor and philanthropist; after his death in 1919, more than $350 million of his fortune was bequeathed to various foundations, with another $30 million going to various charities. His donations created nearly 2,500 free public libraries that bear his name: the Carnegie Libraries. During the game, you recruit and manage employees, expand your business, invest in real estate, produce and sell goods, and create transportation chains across the United States; you can even work with important personalities of the time. The game takes place over 20 rounds; players each have one turn per round. On each turn, the active player chooses one of four actions, which the other players may follow. The aim of the game is to build the most prestigious company, symbolized by victory points.

Agropolis is a stand-alone game similar to Sprawlopolis, but in a rural setting: city blocks make way for orchards, cornfields, cattle barns and vineyards. As before, players draw three goal cards and then attempt to place cards one at a time to create a rural scene that best meets those goals. New gameplay features help compensate for overly powerful scoring combos and add extra attributes to certain types of terrain, adding even more depth to gameplay without sacrificing the signature elegance of the original.

Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Germany, King of Italy, was a man of extraordinary stature, energy, and qualities. His contemporaries called him stupor mundi ("the wonder of the world"), and many historians consider him Europe's first modern ruler. Frederick's kingdom was centered on Sicily and southern Italy, organized as an effective bureaucracy similar to modern centralized governments. As a vassal of Frederick II, you will perform tasks such as summoning allies from the Mediterranean, constructing buildings in your castle, and training specialists to improve your kingdom. Certain actions will trigger decrees that affect Frederick's Palace, and determine the rewards players can receive from their allies. There are benefits to be gained by improving your castle: towers provide space for additional allies, walls provide additional resources , and castles help manage action cards.

You are a team of researchers working for the Institute for Wildlife Conservation (IWC), and your mission is to stop the extinction of several species. As representatives of the IWC, you go to different parts of the world to research and protect endangered fauna. In this cooperative trick card game you have to communicate well and work together as a team. Each round consists of a series of 8 turns (or strokes) for each player. The first animal card played in a trick determines the color of that trick. The other players must, if possible, play an animal card of the same color. The player who plays the card with the highest value in the suit of a trick wins that trick. When all tricks have been played, each player with one or more mission cards must complete their mission(s) by collecting (from their battle pile) all of the animal cards shown on their mission card(s). If even one of the missions is not completed successfully, players will immediately lose the game. However, if all players' mission cards are successfully completed, players advance to the next round
