Evacuate a besieged starfleet, navigating external threats and internal allegiances
Revenant is a standalone, competitive worker placement game of shifting allegiances, set in the Voidfall universe. Players take on the role of rival admirals coordinating the defense of a fleeing starfleet, and competing to earn influence with the factions that stand to survive the journey.
Across four rounds, players assign crew to ships throughout the fleet, from which they will fight corrupted ships, explore planets in search of resources, upgrade their ship and crew, deploy new vessels, and more. Each ship is affiliated with one of the Great Houses, and each time you assign crew there, you gain influence with that House.
The journey won’t be an easy one. The Voidborn’s corrupted forces will continuously attack the fleet, dealing damage to various ships at the end of every round. You can take your part in protecting the fleet by destroying enemy ships, repairing friendly vessels or maneuvering them to safe areas, or ultimately activating the Revenant’s hyperdrive to jump to a safer sector. Regardless of your efforts, there will be casualties - you have to make sure that the Houses you have influence in are protected above others.
Revenant spices up the resource management and engine-building of a mid-weight euro with dynamic tactical challenges, constant player interaction, and shifting allegiances.
Bluff (and call bluffs!) to victory in this card game with no third chances
You are head of a family in an Italian city-state, a city run by a weak and corrupt court. You need to manipulate, bluff and bribe your way to power. Your object is to destroy the influence of all the other families, forcing them into exile. Only one family will survive...
In Coup, you want to be the last player with influence in the game, with influence being represented by face-down character cards in your playing area.
Each player starts the game with two coins and two influence – i.e., two face-down character cards; the fifteen card deck consists of three copies of five different characters, each with a unique set of powers:
Duke: Take three coins from the treasury. Block someone from taking foreign aid.
Assassin: Pay three coins and try to assassinate another player's character.
Contessa: Block an assassination attempt against yourself.
Captain: Take two coins from another player, or block someone from stealing coins from you.
Ambassador: Draw two character cards from the Court (the deck), choose which (if any) to exchange with your face-down characters, then return two. Block someone from stealing coins from you.
On your turn, you can take any of the actions listed above, regardless of which characters you actually have in front of you, or you can take one of three other actions:
Income: Take one coin from the treasury.
Foreign aid: Take two coins from the treasury.
Coup: Pay seven coins and launch a coup against an opponent, forcing that player to lose an influence. (If you have ten coins or more, you must take this action.)
When you take one of the character actions – whether actively on your turn, or defensively in response to someone else's action – that character's action automatically succeeds unless an opponent challenges you. In this case, if you can't (or don't) reveal the appropriate character, you lose an influence, turning one of your characters face-up. Face-up characters cannot be used, and if both of your characters are face-up, you're out of the game.
If you do have the character in question and choose to reveal it, the opponent loses an influence, then you shuffle that character into the deck and draw a new one, perhaps getting the same character again and perhaps not.
The last player to still have influence – that is, a face-down character – wins the game!
A new & optional character called the Inquisitor has been added (currently, the only English edition with the Inquisitor included is the Kickstarter Version from Indie Boards & Cards. Copies in stores may not be the Kickstarter versions and may only be the base game). The Inquisitor character cards may be used to replace the Ambassador cards.
Inquisitor: Draw one character card from the Court deck and choose whether or not to exchange it with one of your face-down characters. OR Force an opponent to show you one of their character cards (their choice which). If you wish it, you may then force them to draw a new card from the Court deck. They then shuffle the old card into the Court deck. Block someone from stealing coins from you.
The fierce competition between Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
In the bustling Italian city-states of the early 1500s, art was not only beauty but power. Workshops competed fiercely for prestige, fueled by the rivalry of great masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti. Artists labored tirelessly to create masterpieces—from sweeping frescoes to marble statues—each work a statement of skill and vision.
These creations were carried across courts and palaces, traveling the Italian peninsula to be exhibited in galleries and public spaces, where they dazzled the eyes of nobles and citizens alike. But art alone was not enough. Success depended on securing the favor of the wealthy and powerful. Through charm, reputation, and spectacle, workshops sought to influence Collectors, drawing them to their galleries and winning their lifelong support.
In Maestro Michelangelo and da Vinci’s workshops compete for fame and aristocratic attention in various courts and galleries across the Italian peninsula. During the game, the two workshops are either represented by a single player or a team of players.
Players take turns resolving their actions, creating Artworks, exhibiting their art across the northern provinces of the Italian peninsula, influencing the taste of the powerful Collectors and competing for publicity of the local elite. The workshop with the most victory points after 4 rounds becomes a winner and is declared the most iconic artist of the Renaissance!
An alchemical competition full of dangerous experiments and arcane discoveries!
In the 19th century, alchemy was regarded as an occult science—a blend of modern discoveries and ancient wisdom. Though the golden age of alchemy has long passed, the dream of bending the laws of nature and creating the Philosopher’s Stone remains alive. A new generation now walks in the footsteps of the legendary Hermes Trismegistus, seeking forbidden knowledge and craving power. Their imagination and resolve are unrivaled. Some view them with fear; others, with awe and admiration. As you take your first steps into the world of alchemy, your goal is to uncover the mysteries hidden since the dawn of time and outshine all others in the quest to become the greatest alchemist the world has ever known.
In Trismegistus, players take on the role of 19th-century researchers who have discovered Trismegistus' notes and attempt to follow his formula for creating the Philosopher's Stone. Over the course of three rounds — representing the years of their doctoral studies — they will perform various experiments, gaining and transmuting metals with the aid of mysterious artifacts. At the end of the game, players are awarded points based on their published research and their knowledge of the primal elements, as well as their progress toward creating the Philosopher's Stone itself.
The new edition features a more accessible and less complex set of game mechanics.
Captain Jessica Kowalski's crew has been offered another offer from the Corporation. Apparently, a ship carrying a precious load vanished a few weeks ago.

She recorded: the AI of the ship detected alien lifeforms, labelled Intruders, aboard. Silence is scarier than usual…

Radlands is a competitive, dueling card game about identifying fiercely powerful card synergies.
Act as the leader of your post apocalyptic group of survivors in a tooth-and-nail fight to protect your three camps from a vicious rival tribe. If all of them are destroyed, you lose the game.
The main resource in the game is water. You will spend it to play people and events, and to use the abilities of cards you already have on the table. People protect your camps and provide useful abilities, while events are powerful effects that take time to pay off.
Both players draw cards from the same deck. All cards can either be played to the table or discarded for quick “junk” effects. To win, you will need to manage your cards and water wisely.

Compete to collect pieces of glass and place them strategically in your shop
Welcome to River Valley! The beautiful pieces of glass that can be found along the river here have attracted the most entrepreneurial of woodland creatures to set up shop.
In River Valley Glassworks, you play as one of these pioneers, drafting glass from the market of river tiles. To do so, you have to play a piece from your inventory into the river. Each river tile can take only a specific shape, and you must play into a space adjacent to where you want to draft from. After you pick up your glass, the river shifts forward, revealing new pieces and new opportunities.
Store the glass you pick up strategically in your shop. Depending on how the glass pieces are placed, your score will change drastically. Fill in rows and columns to gain bonus points, but don't draft too many of one type to avoid negative points!
In Gruntz, you'll command units like infantry, tanks, and aircraft with rock-paper-scissors-like relationships. For example, Gruntz are slow-moving and can't defeat all enemy units, but they're the only ones who can capture the control points at the middle of the map. Planes wreak havoc on the battlefield, but carefully placed Anti-Aircraft stop them in their tracks.
When you deploy tanks and trucks, you'll outfit them with different Magnetic attachments! Choose a cannon for extra firepower, or a cargo hold to transport troops. This flexibility creates awesome counterplay and tactical decision-making.
Capture the zones in the middle of the board to gain points. First to three points wins!

The killer's unseen presence looms throughout, forcing tight cooperation and tough choices with every hand.

Deep in the tropical jungle to the west of the Everdell Valley lies the country of Emerland, a vibrant land known for its artistic and musical culture, and for its abundance of natural resources, including valuable gems mined from its many underground caverns. Tiny critters found here — mostly insects — are fastidious and clever Helpers, often assisting the larger critters in their work and in optimizing or bringing beauty to their cities and homes.
The jungles are vast and dense, and expeditions into the further realms of the land are undertaken often. There was once a mysterious civilization that dwelt here, long lost to history, but archaeological discoveries are beginning to shed a light on the ancients.
In Emerland, you send critter Workers to various locations on the board to gather resources. You use these resources to play cards face-up in front of you, forming your jungle city and helping you to score points. Each turn, you take one of 6 possible actions: Place a Worker (with or without Helpers), Place a Helper, Play a Card, Use an Artisan Card, Excavate with your Archaeologist or Prepare for Season.
The game ends when all players have reached the end of Spring and can no longer make any actions. The player with the most points wins.

Defying Destiny is an expansion for base game Europa Universalis The Price of Power
In this Defying Destiny, we will zoom in on a lot of new Realms that we didn't have room to feature in the base game. Some of these will be Realms that took the center stage at a later date than 1444, some will be Realms that had great potential but for various reasons collapsed or faded out of history, and yet others will be Realms that had roles to play throughout the EU timeline but never attained the status of great powers – now, you will have a chance to defy destiny, and bring these Realms the glory they (perhaps) deserved!
