The Bordeaux alternative board expansion to Viticulture offers players a starting boost, 4 full worker placement seasons, a wake-up chart full of benefits, a major new “expert” action that permanently upgrades an action for you, revisions to existing actions, a trade market, face-up vine and wine order cards to choose from when drawing, and end-game conversion of grapes, wine, and coins to victory points.
--Compatibility: This expansion is compatible with most modules in other expansions (Tuscany structures and special workers, Moor Visitors, and Rhine Valley).
--Box Fit: The new board easily fits into the Viticulture box (or the Wine Crate), especially since the back side is the original Viticulture board, allowing it to permanently replace the space that board currently occupies in the box.
--Not Standalone: The Viticulture core game is required to play the Bordeaux expansion.
In Koi, you build an authentic 3D koi pond, so the challenge is to bring your reservoir to life and make the most of the actions at your disposal to create something truly magnificent.From the creators of Bonsai comes a brand-new, serene, strategic journey through nature.
The Japanese term “Koi” means multicolored carp, known as “swimming flowers”, considered living jewels, and a symbol of perseverance and virtue. Now you can welcome them into your pond and contemplate them to achieve luck and success!
Inspired by the peaceful elegance of Japanese gardens, Koi invites players to build stunning habitats, populate them with koi, and compete for harmony, beauty, and victory points.
Each turn unfolds with two core actions:- Meditate: draw cards, earn coins, and acquire koi from the market.- Work: use your Sensei’s abilities to shape your pond by placing your tiles.
With a highly customizable, multi-layer tile placement system and beautiful 3D elements like bridges and lanterns, no two games are ever the same. Complete dynamic goals, unlock new features, and gaze at your own stunning creation while it comes to life!
This expansion includes two larger double-sided domain boards that replace two of the base game boards. It also features an alternate victory condition in the form of the Yellow Dragon tug-of-war track. The larger domain boards display a new type of boon on some spaces that pulls the Yellow Dragon in your direction — gaining you lucrative rewards at certain thresholds, and even winning you the game outright if it reaches your end. This expansion is a free gift to all backers of Azure during the Kickstarter campaign.
The Lung Mei, or dragon paths, are lines of energy that cover the Earth. They are derived from the Four Auspicious Beasts: the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North. When a path runs in a straight line, that energy builds in power, but these paths can be broken up by barriers such as mountains, which diffuse the energy. Invoke the power of the Four Auspicious Beasts, carefully channel their energy through the Earth, and triumph in this battle for qi and wisdom that will shape your destiny and intertwine it with the Beasts of legend.
In Azure, players position their stones to gather qi (cards) and wisdom (points) from the realm. They also compete to bring the Auspicious Beasts to their aid. The first player to reach the end of the path of wisdom wins.
Players take turns placing a stone, gathering boons from the space they cover, and gaining the favor of Auspicious Beasts. In order to place a stone in a space, the player must be able to pay the qi cost. The color of the domain (board) tells you the color of qi needed, and the number of boon symbols in the space tells you the amount of qi needed. Through careful management of the qi cards in your hand, you'll be able to grow in power.
Thanks to the four double-sided boards that can be connected, flipped, and oriented in any way in a 2×2 grid, Azure features over 24,000 different layouts. Azure also includes the Gifted module for experienced players — a variable one-time-use ability that can help turn the tides in your favor.

Pack your bento box, grab your picnic blanket, and find the perfect spot under the treetops. The sakura blossoms are in full bloom and people from all over are gathered in the park for Hanami (or “flower viewing”) a centuries-old Japanese springtime tradition.
In Hanami, you’ll be picnicking in parks all across Japan and Tokyo city in the springtime, fighting the crowds to celebrate the floral spectacle. Players will place their tiles out to reserve spots near the various activities found there.
Each tile represents a picnic blanket set out by a member of your group to claim a spot in the park. Tiles indicate the strength of your group (the number of pips on the tile), and the favored activity of the group (viewing sakura, eating onigiri, or an evening under the lanterns). You’ll collect Activity Tokens once they’re surrounded by Player Tiles, if your tiles have a higher strength than any other player’s. Earn Victory Tokens at the end of the game for each activity by having the most of the corresponding Activity Token. Earn the most Victory Tokens to win Hanami!
Hanami is a new reimagining of the classic game Samurai, designed by Dr. Reiner Knizia. This updated game tells a new story: One of relaxing picnic lunches among the cherry blossoms and paper lanterns of Tokyo city parks or the lush countryside of Japan. It brings new strategies and two distinct ways to play: The Japan map allows players to enjoy the classic Samurai ruleset, and the Tokyo setup gives players new challenges, new abilities, and new tiles.
