The inhabitants of the meteor slowly crept into the world - bizarre monsters from a nightmare, attacking everyone in their path.

Twenty years later, there are rumors that the bizarre monsters are becoming weak. They are slower, less impervious to attack, some undergo gradual petrification until they crumble into dust.

Steeped in epic Scandinavian and Celtic myths and legends, Trudvang Legends puts players in the role of legendary heroes making their mark in a dynamic, ever-changing fantasy world. The game — based on the Swedish RPG, Trudvang Chronicles — thrusts players into a cycle of epic sagas in which their exploits change not only the world itself, but also the rules by which gods, humans, and nature interact. They will take quests in adventure books and the results of their choices will echo through history: changing relationships between sovereign nations, usurping kings, creating new gateways or even locking and unlocking parts of the map. Change in Trudvang Legends manifests itself physically as parts of the board actually change, causing the actions of previous generations of heroes to influence future sagas. However, the changes are only as permanent as long as history remembers them, making the game endlessly replayable, and even playing the same adventure book repeatedly will have a very different feel because the world itself has changed. Heroes, who follow a path of destiny, will even become historical artifacts as they become kings, guild masters, or even gods!

1580, South America: a new colony born on the ashes of the previous settlement. The difficulties are many: the natives trying to repel the invader, the lack of resources, the English pirates threatening destruction. Will you succeed in the challenge? Trinidad is the latest game from Michele Quondam (Medioevo Universale GX, Virus, Romolo o Remo, Gladiatori and many more), famous for creating strategy games for fans of "heavy games". Trinidad is no exception, and it is a 1-5 player game that lasts approximately 30-40 minutes per player. The game's illustrations were created by Fabio Porfidia and the miniature models by Kieran Russell. In Trinidad, the players are the heads of the Spanish colonial families who founded the Ciudad de la Santisima Trinidad (later known as Buenos Aires) in 1580. They will have to develop the initial settlement by building buildings such as houses and palaces, stonemasons, markets, churches and much more, while making the city look beautiful with squares, fountains and monuments. They will have to use their workers to the best of their ability, choosing carefully where to send them, as well as using their characters and partners to create the most powerful combos. Moreover, they will have to work hard to maintain a good relationship with the natives, no matter how hard that may seem, or prepare for their reaction! And they cannot forget the English pirates, who only wait for the right moment to plunder the city, once it has become rich enough... After the first difficult phase, the settlement will start to look like a city, and players will be able to work together to build imposing buildings such as the cathedral, the harbor, the governor's palace and the majestic central fortress, and important things such as roads and city walls. Are you ready for this challenge?

In Weather Machine you are scientists on Prof. Lativ's team, tampering with the local weather: adjusting rainfall for farms, maintaining wind and clear air for ecological energy sources, and adjusting temperatures for resorts and sporting events. The prototype is quite effective so far; However, a pattern has emerged that reveals a worrying side effect: every use of the weather machine also changes conditions elsewhere on the planet – a "butterfly effect". “We need to build a new prototype,” he announces; "...but this time we're going to do it right. The government is funding this, and we're going to succeed." As Prof. Lativ explains the plan, the need to find suppliers for enough bots and chemicals is high.

Long ago, a beautiful streak of crimson fell from the sky and carved the valley from the earth. Disconnected from the rest of the world, life flourished in the valley. From distant lands, members of many cultures came together, drawn by the mystery and allure of the red star and the opulent empire it created. They settled there. The soil was fertile, perfect for crops; the rock was rich with minerals that begged to be mined, and the land itself seemed eager to be formed. On warm summer evenings, the velvet sky was crossed by the scarlet light of meteor showers. The colonists found that under these lights their craft projects were completed faster and produced better results! Soon people began to work together, sharing their wares and knowledge with each other. Together under a meteor shower at night, they founded a joint settlement - one of knowledge and craftsmanship. The settlement was called Splendence, after the valley that brought them all together. In the centuries that followed, a red substance that people called "material" could be found after every meteor shower. Craftsmen learned to work with the substance, which imparted magical properties to their works. These works, called Artifice, were established and would plunge the settlement into an industrial revolution. "The Artisans of Splendent Vale" is a cooperative adventure game set in a magical and unique land. As a group of artisans you will explore the beauty of the Splendent Vale as you perfect your individual crafts. Overcome challenges during tactical action sequences set on special grid maps, and experience individual intervals to build your story separate from the group's story. Teamwork and careful strategy will be crucial during these encounters.

Here's the board game bag you've always wanted. We all know that plastic crates are cumbersome to carry and hardly keep your games safe. And let's not even talk about shopping bags or tie-down straps. But fortunately things can also be better! These bags are specifically made with board games in mind. They are 12 inches wide, lovingly hold the equivalent of 7 large "Ticket to Ride" size game boxes and are lined to protect them. But that's not all, each bag is weatherproof, offers up to 4 carrying methods, a front pocket for small items and can be folded when not in use. And yes, they can even be used as a "normal" travel bag. This bag will take your games to the finish line. Each. Time. Weather.

Apex Legends: The Board Game is a highly competitive, tactical team-based miniatures game. Each play session lasts approximately 60-90 minutes, depending on the number of players and selected game features. The game takes place on the Kings Canyon map, the final zone, where the ultimate battle takes place. Each player takes on the role of a unique legend . Players try to outsmart enemies in the heat of battle and create unpredictable, unforgettable moments by securing key positions on the map. Once activated, each legend can perform basic actions such as moving, interacting, using, and attacking. Additionally, players can use their legends ' unique abilities and a deck of legend-specific feat cards to their advantage. Creating a well-constructed team in which the legends complement each other on the battlefield, as well as using all available strategic options, is the key to victory. Once a team's activation is complete, it's not over! During their opponent's turn , legends can respond to their enemies' actions with immediate and reaction cards. Reactions allow a player to respond when they or their teammates are attacked by taking cover, recovering their shield, or providing assistance to their ally. When the condition on a card is met, the player can activate it as a clever way to thwart their opponent's next move. Every choice, every move and every piece of ammo matters!

The game starts with the selection of our ship. You have the choice between a fast and agile but fragile ship; a well-balanced ship if you want to play it safe; and a heavy and slow but strong ship. With our ship we will try to become the most famous and well-known captain of all seven seas and conquer a place in history. How? We can transform our ship into a fearsome ship and plunder ships, or into the fastest sailboat ever invented. We will be able to trade on the market to get doubloons, expand our crew, improve our weapons and cargo capacity, participate in a mission and receive rewards, explore the ocean in search of treasure, fight against or with others, and above all, gain wealth. At the end of the day, it's a sandbox board game, so you set the limits. Throughout the game we will make contact with other ships piloted by our friends (although we know that in a board game it is better not to rely on friendships). As we explore the map, we will see other ships from the different nations appear in the game. These are Spain, Netherlands, France, England, and pirates and privateers. During the game you can decide whether you want to join one of these nations, which will give you several benefits. However, nothing in life comes for free and your actions may make you enemies with some other nations, causing their ships to come after you and try to sink you in the ocean. Can you be a pirate and become an ally of another nation? Naturally! You will sign a letter of marque with that nation and you will become a privateer/pirate. This way you can make mischief, but be loyal to the other nation and leave their ships alone. As the game progresses, the sea and wind may not always be in your favor, a storm may surprise you. What if the wind suddenly stops or there is a low tide? We must be ready to deal with both our enemies and the ever-changing weather.

Because Uruguay has no natural resources of its own and does not want to be too dependent on its neighbors, the government has set up initiatives to improve energy generation and distribution throughout the country. Fortunately, Pampero, the strong winter wind, blows throughout Uruguay and is the perfect place to generate energy through wind turbines. Pampero is a card-driven action selection game based on smart hand management that requires a good dose of strategic planning. Each player must find a balance between income, energy supply and action cards to optimally meet the different scoring criteria of each game. You must expand your energy network and meet all the energy needs of the entire country to become the most profitable player.
