Planet Unknown (Pre-Order)
This item is a pre-order item with an expected release date of Q4 2023. Orders containing a pre-order item WILL NOT SHIP until the final pre-order item is able to be shipped. Dates and product details are subject to change as new information from the manufacturer is updated. Our planet has run out of resources, and we are forced to move. We have discovered a series of planets and sent our rovers to test their environment with the hope of colonization. Our rovers have confirmed 1-6 viable colonization options. Planet Unknown is a competitive game for 1-6 players in which players attempt to develop the best planet. Each round, each player places one polyomino-shaped, dual-resource tile on their planet. Each resource represents the infrastructure needed to support life on the planet. Every tile placement is important to cover your planet efficiently and also to build up your planet's engine. After placing the tile, players do two actions associated with the two infrastructure types on the tile. Some tile placements trigger "meteors" that make all planets harder to develop and prevent them from scoring points in the meteor's row and column. Planet Unknown innovates on the popular polyomino trend by allowing simultaneous, yet strategic turn-based play via the Lazy S.U.S.A.N. space station in the center of the table.

Castles of Mad King Ludwig
In the tile-laying game Castles of Mad King Ludwig, players are tasked with building an amazing, extravagant castle for King Ludwig II of Bavaria...one room at a time. You see, the King loves castles, having built Neuschwanstein (the castle that inspired the Disney theme park castles) and others, but now he's commissioned you to build the biggest, best castle ever — subject, of course, to his ever-changing whims. Each player acts as a building contractor who is adding rooms to the castle he's building while also selling his services to other players. In the game, each player starts with a simple foyer. One player takes on the role of the Master Builder, and that player sets prices for a set of rooms that can be purchased by the other players, with him getting to pick from the leftovers after the other players have paid him for their rooms. When a room is added to a castle, the player who built it gains castle points based on the size and type of room constructed, as well as bonus points based on the location of the room. When a room is completed, with all entranceways leading to other rooms in the castle, the player receives one of seven special rewards. After each purchasing round, a new player becomes the Master Builder who sets prices for a new set of rooms. After several rounds, the game ends, then additional points are awarded for achieving bonus goals, having the most popular rooms, and being the most responsive to the King's demands, which change each game. Whoever ends up with the most castle points wins.

Curious Cargo
I stumbled upon a midnight market. It wasn't selling flowers or farm goods. It was a more curious sort of cargo: energy capacitors, strange crystalline material, and something green and jiggly. Since then, I've been dragged into it, deep into the thick of it. I paid a stranger more than I should have for manufacturing plans I hardly understood. Worse yet, they sold the same stuff to my best friend. Now, I have to get my supply lines up and running to prepare for shipping my cargo — and if my friend starts shipping some of this curious cargo, I'll have to intercept their trucks and corner the market that way. By hook or by crook, I'm going to be the king of curious cargo... Curious Cargo is a two-player game in which you go head-to-head against your opponent by building up the infrastructure of your facility, calling in trucks at the right moment, all while perfectly timing the shipping and receiving of cargo to score the most points. Connect an interweaving web of lines to your shipping and receiving spaces. Play with two-color conveyor tiles, or step it up for an advanced experience and play with all three colors. Ship your custom-shaped cargo tokens to your opponent to interfere with their logistics plans! The puzzling nature of Ryan Courtney's Pipeline comes alive in Curious Cargo! With six unique player boards for each player and two game modes, a skillful challenge awaits even the sharpest competitor.

Neuroshima Hex! 3.0: Iron Gang
Engines roar through the night sky as you see clouds of dust coming your way. Hot tires screech across the road as hundreds of riders wreck havoc to anything on their path. They are followed by heavily armored warriors, intimidating everyone with a cacophony of metallic sounds made by their chains, net launchers, and other weapons of post apocalyptic war. First, the riders are going to surround and entangle you with their web of steel. Melee fighters will follow soon after, bringing pain and destruction. Even if you are going to defend yourself, even if you manage defeat one of them, more replace their fallen comrade. Death is coming your way. You can try to run. You can try to hide. But sooner or later, you are going to fall into their hands. This is not your average gang – this is Iron Gang, a brutal group that has perfected the art of the hunt from the back of the steel steed. Neuroshima Hex: Iron Gang introduces a new army pack to Neuroshima Hex!, and both the HQ and certain units feature a new "chain" ability. Chain connects two units with that ability if there is a straight line between them, and it allows them to target and hit any unit on that line.

Neuroshima Hex! 3.0: Neojungle
When survivors of humanity started to get up from their knees after the destructive war, when they were looking in fear to the North at the terrain occupied by robots, in the South a new threatening force was born, a force as strong as Moloch but not as dynamic. Slowly but surely an overwhelming mutated jungle started to grow. It was driven by an ungoverned survival instinct, and with each passing year it devours new kilometers of human earth. It assimilates everything it comes into contact with, changing animals and people into mutated beasts and symbiotic organisms, which enable it to go forward and destroy the next threat. This huge green and ferocious organism was called Neojungle.

Neuroshima Hex! 3.0: Smart (Second Edition)
Smart is a part of Moloch, which has reached the southern part of the continent, where after fights with humans it was cut off from its origin and found sanctuary deep inside the Neojungle. It resembles Moloch less and less with every passing day. Smart has completely disregarded the directives that have so far been followed by Moloch's electronic brains and started producing strange half-machines combined with living organisms, including regeneration capable biodroids, micro robots functioning as parasites equipped with technologically advanced electromagnetic weaponry. Most Smart bases are hidden deep underground and whatever happens there stays behind a veil of mystery, hidden from both humans and Moloch.
