The Oranienburg canal, which gave this game its name, was built between 1832 and 1837 in Brandenburg. The Havel River was difficult to navigate near the Oranienburg mills, so a canal was built from the Havel that crossed the older Ruppin canal, thereby forming the Oranienburg canal cross. During the industrialization in the 19th century, lots of companies and businesses were formed at this important waterway. Moreover, additional streets and railways were built. In Kanal, you erect new industries and shape the infrastructure by building pathways, streets, railways, and canals. Most important of all are bridges that connect buildings. To do all of this, you have access to various actions that you select in the right moments. At the end of the game, the player with the best industrial area and the best infrastructure wins.

This item is a pre-order item with an expected release date of 03/31/2025 Orders containing a pre-order items 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. In Islet, you embody tropical birds seeking to nest on a small islet in the middle of the ocean. During the game you will collectively explore the islet to collect materials, while competing to create the best nests to spawn, thus guaranteeing the continuity of your species. On each of your turns you choose to either explore the islet to receive resources, or position yourself to create the perfect nests in which to spawn your precious eggs. This way, together - as much as against one another - you’ll build a tropical islet with its different biomes, and whoever spawns all their eggs on the islet first will be the winner. How to play: Whoever has touched an egg most recently starts the game. Starting with that player, take turns clockwise. On your turn, you must take either an EXPLORE or a MOVE action. When you EXPLORE, EXPLORE you lay 1 to 4 tiles from your reserve, expanding the islet, and receive resources in return. When you MOVE, you can ADVANCE your pawn and SPAWN (layeggs), as many times as you want and in any order and combination, as long as you can pay the required resource cost. The end of the game can be triggered in 2 different ways:● When a player SPAWNS their last egg, their turn ends as normal and then the current round ends (so that everyone plays the same number of turns).● When a player takes the last islet tile from the bag, the current round ends and a new round is played (so that everyone plays the same number of turns). In any case, the player who spawned the most eggs wins the game. ISLET in the 2nd game in the series that started with Coral.
