ETA Q2 2025

In this cooperative game, players have a limited time to find, by touch and feel in a large shared cloth bag, some of the letters needed to write the name of the two animals on their card, a simple one with few letters and a difficult one with more letters.
The players then together try to find the name of the other players' animals.

Deep in the mountains of the dwarven realm...is where you'll find the best deals! In Treasure of the Dwarves, you place treasures up for sale, then evaluate secret bids from the other players. Consider their offers carefully because once you look at a new bid, you can't go back to a previous one. Some treasure is just worth points; others provide special abilities. Only the shrewdest deal-maker will come out on top!

Everyone is involved on every turn of the game as you puzzle over how to collect coins, gems and magical treasures. Knowing what your treasure is worth is important — but so is knowing whose offer to look at first!

Incan Gold: Recovering the Ancient Artifacts

The new edition of Incan Gold features all-new art by Mila Harbar, and includes the New Dangers expansion. This includes a new Assist action to throw a wrench into others’ plans, and Event cards that switch up gameplay each round.

A local university in Peru has reported that the excavation site of an Incan temple is about to collapse. They have hired an expedition to venture into the ruins to recover artifacts rumored to be in the temple before they are lost forever. Players will explore the hazardous ruins
of the temple in five rounds, recovering gems and artifacts while pressing their luck with how deep into the temple they will explore, thus risking the loss of everything they have collected during that round. The player who discovers the most treasure wins!

Incan Gold is an award-winning game in which players push their luck as they head into a ruined temple, attempting to recover the most gems and artifacts. Each turn, a card is turned over that with new treasures or a new hazard. Players can attempt to escape, keeping the loot that they’ve acquired, or stay in the temple, hoping for more reward.
As players escape, those in the temple will acquire bigger shares of new treasures found, but also run the risk of being forced to drop it all and flee if the same hazard card is drawn twice. The tension mounts as players decide whether to explore or exit. Up to eight people can play this game, making it a great game for parties and other gatherings. With quality components and a compelling theme, Incan Gold will be the first choice of large groups looking for a fun filled game.

Who are you in Mascarade? Whoever you want to be...at least until someone else calls you out on it! Each character receives a face-down role card at the start of the game, and in a game with 4-5 players some role cards are placed in the center of the table. On a turn, you take one of three actions:

1) Announce your character: Claim the power of a certain character and take the associated action. You don't have to have that character card in front of you to take this action, but if someone else says that they're that character and reveals the card to prove it, that player takes the action instead while you lose one coin to the tribunal.

2) Swap cards or not: Take another player's character card along with yours, place them under the table, shuffle them around a bit, then give one card back to the other player while keeping one for yourself. You (presumably) know whether you changed characters and can have some idea of who you are now, but that other player might be in the dark.

3) Secretly look at your character: Look at your character card to make sure of who you are.

Play continues until one player obtains 13 coins and wins — or until a player has lost all of their coins, in which case the player with the most coins wins.

Mascarade includes more character cards than the number of players, so not all characters will be used in each game. The rules suggest that you use certain characters in your first games, but once you know the game, you can try many other distributions.

Note that this second edition of Mascarade includes 17 role cards, with these cards being a mix of roles from the original base game and the 2014 expansion.

Don't be afraid of looking silly because that's the only way you'll let others discover your true animal nature.

To set up Animotion, which was first released as Animal Suspect, lay out six animal cards and six expression cards on the game board next to the die faces numbered 1-6. On a turn, one player rolls two dice in secret, looks at the cards matching the numbers rolled, then imitates this particular combination as best they can. Will they be a shy mosquito? An attentive walrus? An amorous octopus?

Whoever guesses the proper combination first wins a card, along with the imitator, and whoever collects the most cards wins.

For the first time, your band which so far had mostly played in shady goblin and vampire venues has been invited to take part in the great TrollFest, where you will be the opening act for such big names like the Rolling Gnomes and Snow White and the Dwarves.

In TrollFest, each player manages a rock band in a fantasy universe, recruits the most talented and charismatic musicians, holds concerts in the main city, hires dragons for transport and light shows, and ends up trying to give the best act at the festival.

After an initial card draft of band members and action cards, players take turns moving around the map, performing shows and improving their band composition to score points. Once one player has completed their tour (by performing in a certain number of cities), the game ends and players score additional points based on their final band configuration.

TrollFest is a light, fun and thematic 3 to 6 player boardgame for friends and family.

No longer do you anxiously await the arrival of the wicked — for they have just arrived! In the dead of night, the gloom rolls in. Melodies whisper in slow rhythms as children wake from their slumber. Leaping from their beds, they rush to their parents and startle them awake. The mix of fear and excitement fills the room. The lure of exotic sweets wafts in on the warm summer wind. The lives of this dull, small town are revitalized with the anticipation of this dreadful circus.

Dreadful Circus is a set-collection card game in which players try to create the most successful circus! The game comes with an unique twist: Over the course of the game, players buy cards that have special final scoring rules. As the game progresses and more cards are gained, each player develops their very own final scoring rules. No game is the same, and no player at the table scores the same way.

Play cards and blood to earn the control of influential humans, feed on them, and make them your servants; your goal is to gain the most influence over three ages. You draft cards at the beginning of the game, then gradually draw an increasing number of cards from your deck at the beginning of each age (i.e., all the cards you had during the previous age, plus new ones).

While playing, you get to know the powers and abilities of your opponents during your centuries-long struggle, but they do the same with you — and you can never know which new tricks they may have added to their arsenal since your last encounter!

In Dragons, you get to experience life as a dragon, swooping down from the sky and swooping up all types of things. You want treasure, of course, because what dragon doesn't like shiny bling? You need food as well, though, so pick up a few cattle or sheep along the way to keep your belly full. Grab some armor or shields as treasures from fallen soldiers who thought they could take you down, perhaps put your claws on one fancy ring, and beware cursed items that look nicee but bite your points in the end.

To play the game, you shuffle the deck of cards, then divide it into a few smaller decks. One player picks up the first deck, places the top card face up on the table, then passes the deck to the next player. Players keep laying out cards and passing the deck — with a number of face-up piles equal to the number of players — but players can also claim one of the piles by placing their dragon figure on it. Once all but one player have claimed a pile, the remaining player takes any cards remaining in the deck along with the final pile. You then grab the next deck and repeat this process until all the decks have been split among the player-dragons.

Players then compare their hauls, and whoever took the least food is eliminated from the game. (In a five- or six-player game, you separately determine who took the fewest sheep and who took the fewest cattle, with both of those players being eliminated.) The remaining dragons then tally the value of their loot to see who wins.

Poisons is a bluff-based card game where players will have to carefully weight their risks to earn points. Each turn, players will secretly put a card from their hand in each opponent’s drink: an innocuous liquid or a deadly poison. When everyone got their cup filled, each player decides whether they will drink the content of their cup.

Those who don’t dare to sip the mixture will gain only a minimal amount of points. Those who drink their cup will get the number of points revealed at the beginning of their turn, but beware: if there’s a single dose of poison in the glass, they get nothing!

After four rounds of libations, the player with the most points win. Advanced rules add new kinds of drinks with special effects, for an even deeper mind game between the players.

Note: This game is in French. For a preview, English rule can be found here.

In Gold River, an updated version of Boomtown and La Fièvre de l'Or, players want to take home as much money as possible from the mines that surround them.

On a turn, multiple items — mines, dynamite, town characters, and more — will be available for auction. Players keep bidding until all but one player passes; that player pays their bid to the player on their right, who keeps half the money (rounded up), then passes the rest right, with that player keeping half, and so on. The winning bidder chooses one item from the lot, then the player to their left chooses one, and so on until each player has acquired something new.

The winning bidder also rolls two dice to determine which gold mines pay out. The first player to acquire two mines in a location becomes that town's Mayor, after which they earn a commission when anyone else acquires a card from that town.

Gold River includes a two-player game mode (unlike Boomtown) as well as an advanced "poker" game mode.

In Vintage, players place item cards face down to the side of their display case (a.k.a. their hands). This stack is known as a player's hoard. A player can look at their own hoard at any time, but may not look at other players' hoards. Players start with 1-3 cards in their display case and no cards in their hoards. On your turn, your perform three actions in this order:

1. Choose one item card from your display case and save it for later by placing it face down on top of your hoard.
2. Then, either steal one item card from another player’s display case and add it to your display, or salvage the top card from the face-up discard pile and add it face up to your display.
3. Draw two item cards from the face-down deck, place one face up in your display and the other face up on the discard pile.

To score, lay out the 17 bonus cards and award each card to the player who has hoarded the most cards in the corresponding category.

In Dragon's Gold, each player controls a team of dragon hunters (two knights, a thief, and a wizard). Like all dragon hunters, they have only one goal: gold, silver, jewels and magic objects. As for actually killing a dragon? It's a piece of cake. But the most difficult part comes after the dragon is dead: the adventuring party has to figure out how to share the spoils.

As soon as a dragon is overpowered, then some additional gems are revealed, and the players who had participated in that hunting party start a negotiation over how to divvy up the gems. If the sixty-second sand timer runs out, then no one gets treasure. When all of the dragons have been slain and the treasure claimed or discarded, the game ends and players score for their holdings, with silver and magic objects worth 1 point each, gold worth 3, the Black Diamond worth 7, and the colored gems scoring 10-15 points for those players who hold more than everyone else. (In the Advanced game, the colored gems score 8-12 points in addition to a variety bonus of 5 points for each set of different colored gems a player holds. The Black Diamond is worth 19 points [in the 2011 edition], but negates a player's score for all colored gems.)

Each round in Miaui, players choose one of the cards in their hand — and everyone starts the game with the same cards numbered 1-12 — to show how deep they dive in the hope of catching the best fish. All kinds of fish are served at the feast but beware the gooey jellyfish and the thieving seagulls.

In more detail, three cards are laid out from the catch deck from the surface of the water to the depths. Each players chooses a card and plays them simultaneously. Whoever plays the highest card dives deepest and grabs the card at the bottom of the lake, while the next highest card grabs the card just above this. Whoever played the lowest card collects what's at the surface. Sometimes this isn't good since jellyfish cost you points and seagulls steal your most recent catch.

May the best diver win!
