The latest edition of the well-known trading game Catan. The game now includes miniatures and the artwork has also been completely updated. This way you can immerse yourself even more in the world of Catan! You start with 2 villages on a variable game board with fields, meadows, hills, mountains and forests. On your turn, you roll 2 dice to determine who gets resources. That depends on the position of your villages. You can then trade with the bank or with your fellow players. You don't get all types of raw materials. And you do need them to build new villages, streets and cities. You can also buy development cards to perform special actions. Furthermore, there is a highwayman walking around who robs some landscapes. Villages and cities not only provide resources, but are also worth points. Development cards, the longest continuous route and the largest knight force also earn points. The first person to reach 10 points immediately wins the game! The Games Friends: “ Catan is incredibly popular and we understand that very well. The interaction between players, the game board that you can set up differently each time and the touch of luck with the dice...

In this well-known laying game, the players jointly build the French city of Carcassonne with all its roads, towns, monasteries and meadows. By deploying serfs they score points for completed projects. Each turn you place one land tile and you may place one follower on it. Which type it is depends on the tile. There are tiles with road sections, monasteries, city districts and/or meadow sections. In principle, there may not be more than one follower on a project, but if two unfinished parts are built together, it can still happen that more followers end up on them. Whoever has the most followers on a completed project immediately receives points. Different rules apply to the number of points to be received for each type of project. The game ends when all tiles have been placed. Whoever has the most points wins. Carcassonne is loved by both families and experienced players because it has sufficient depth despite the simple rules. The touch of luck gives everyone the opportunity to participate in the win until the end. The Games Friends: “ Carcassonne is of course a classic and we completely understand why. During Carcassonne you can relax and try to create the most beautiful landscape possible, while of course trying to outdo your opponent(s). Due to the many expansions, a game of Carcassonne is never the same and you can make the game as extensive as you want. Indispensable in every games cupboard!"

You have been crowned king of a beautiful little country of rolling hills, winding rivers and fertile farmlands. Life could be so beautiful, but unfortunately there are disputes with surrounding states. Various princes try to expand their kingdom at the expense of each other! Only one will win... In Dominion you try to form the strongest possible deck during the game, so that you have the most points at the end of the game. The cards in your deck always rotate from your draw pile to your hand, after which they go to your discard pile. When your draw pile is empty, shuffle your discard pile so that you have a new draw pile. Each turn you may perform 1 action and make 1 purchase. Every turn you buy additional cards, so you can achieve your goal in your own way. Do you go for a constructive method with the Forge, the Village and the Market, or do you try a more aggressive way with the Witch or the Militia? Because only 10 of the 26 kingdom cards are used in each game, Dominion is different every time. The Games Friends: “ If we could only take a few games to a desert island, Dominion would probably be one of them. Due to the enormous number of expansions you can keep rotating and have a different game every time. Highly, HIGHLY recommended!"
