You are an amateur dracologist in the world of Wyrmspan, a place where dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors roam the skies. Excavate a hidden labyrinth you recently unearthed on your land and entice these beautiful creatures to roost in the sanctuary of your caves. During a game of Wyrmspan, you will build a sanctuary for dragons of all shapes and sizes. Your sanctuary begins with 3 excavated spaces—the leftmost space in your Crimson Cavern, your Golden Grotto, and your Amethyst Abyss. Over the course of the game, you will excavate additional spaces in your sanctuary and entice dragons to live there, chaining together powerful abilities and earning the favor of the Dragon Guild.Wyrmspan is inspired by the mechanisms of Wingspan, though its 16+ unique elements make Wyrmspan a standalone game (not compatible with Wingspan).ComponentsWyrmspan plays up to 5 players, and it is flexible in size for various tables due to 3 smaller central boards (instead of a single big game board). Each player mat is 475x290mm (a little wider than Wingspan). It includes:• 2 rulebooks (multiplayer and solo)• 1 dragon fact book (32 pages)• 5 player mats• 5 adventurer meeples and 5 guild tokens• 183 dragon cards (148 full-grown dragons and 35 hatchlings; 57x87mm)• 75 cave cards (57x57mm)• 4 dragon guilds• 55 speckled egg tokens• 10 double-sided objective tiles• 45 shiny cardboard coins• 10 quick-start cards (2 cards per player; 57x87mm)• 17 Automa solo mode cards (57x87mm)• 1 box (296x296x70mm, and it weighs 2.6 kg)

The award-winning game Splendor returns with this fresh take on its classic drafting gameplay.

Scythe is a 4X board game set in an alternate history Europe, where the world’s nations are vying for control over a fictional Europe and its resources. The game is approachable for people who don’t play 4X games, and offers a ton of depth for those who do. The highly detailed mech and character miniatures help bring life to the game, and the game’s variable faction powers keep each game just as interesting as the last. Scythe’s legacy expansion - “The Rise of Fenris” - is also an amazing entry point into the genre of legacy board games.                                                                                     - Pat (Guild Service Representative)  It is a time of unrest in 1920s Europa. The ashes from the first great war still darken the snow. The capitalistic city-state known simply as “The Factory”, which fueled the war with heavily armored mechs, has closed its doors, drawing the attention of several nearby countries. Scythe is an engine-building game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor. In Scythe, each player represents a character from one of five factions of Eastern Europe who are attempting to earn their fortune and claim their faction's stake in the land around the mysterious Factory. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous mechs. Each player begins the game with different resources (power, coins, combat acumen, and popularity), a different starting location, and a hidden goal. Starting positions are specially calibrated to contribute to each faction’s uniqueness and the asymmetrical nature of the game (each faction always starts in the same place). Scythe gives players almost complete control over their fate. Other than each player’s individual hidden objective card, the only elements of luck or variability are “encounter” cards that players will draw as they interact with the citizens of newly explored lands. Each encounter card provides the player with several options, allowing them to mitigate the luck of the draw through their selection. Combat is also driven by choices, not luck or randomness. Scythe uses a streamlined action-selection mechanism (no rounds or phases) to keep gameplay moving at a brisk pace and reduce downtime between turns. While there is plenty of direct conflict for players who seek it, there is no player elimination. Every part of Scythe has an aspect of engine-building to it. Players can upgrade actions to become more efficient, build structures that improve their position on the map, enlist new recruits to enhance character abilities, activate mechs to deter opponents from invading, and expand their borders to reap greater types and quantities of resources. These engine-building aspects create a sense of momentum and progress throughout the game. The order in which players improve their engine adds to the unique feel of each game, even when playing one faction multiple times.

The artwork is awesome in Sagrada! I love the dice rolling and drafting mechanics used to build the stained glass windows. It is a very simple game with a lot of depth to your strategy. Awesome entry-level game for newer board gamers!                                                                                     - Will (Marketing Manager) As a skilled artisan, you will use tools-of-the-trade and careful planning to construct a stained glass window masterpiece in the Sagrada Familia.

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.

An Elder God, a being adrift in a different dimension, has reached out into their minds, giving them the knowledge necessary to awaken it, and bring it into our own world, unleashing its hellish powers on the unsuspecting populace. The Investigators found out about it too late. The final ritual has begun. But with a little luck, the god might just be vulnerable for a moment after being summoned. That’s when they can shoot it in the face. Cthulhu: Death May Die puts players in charge of Investigators looking to defeat an Elder God that is being summoned to Earth. They are running late, as the summoning ritual is already underway. But if they can collect enough clues to find a weakness, or alter the ritual just enough to cause one, they can blast the god to death before it gets a true foothold in the world. Working together, players will fight cultists, search for answers, and try to keep their already-broken minds from warping even further.

My personal favorite game, Codenames is a team based word game that puts 2 teams against each other in a race to guess all their secret words.

Burgle your way to adventure in the deck-building board game Clank! Sneak into an angry dragon's mountain lair to steal precious artifacts. Delve deeper to find more valuable loot. Acquire cards for your deck and watch your thievish abilities grow. Be quick and be quiet. One false step and CLANK! Each careless sound draws the attention of the dragon, and each artifact stolen increases its rage. You can enjoy your plunder only if you make it out of the depths alive! Clank! is a deck-building game. Each player has their own deck, and building yours up is part of playing the game. You start each of your turns with five cards in your hand, and you'll play them all in any order you choose. Most cards will generate resources, of which there are three different kinds: Skill, which is used to acquire new cards for your deck. Swords, which are used to fight the monsters that infest the dungeon. Boots, which are used to move around the board. Every time you acquire a new card, you put it face up in your discard pile. Whenever you need to draw a card and find your deck empty, you shuffle your discard pile and turn it face down to form a new deck. With each shuffle, your newest cards become part of a bigger and better deck! Each player starts with the same cards in their deck, but they’ll acquire different cards during their turns. Because cards can do many different things, each player’s deck (and strategy) will become more and more different as the game unfolds. During the game, you have two goals: Retrieve an Artifact token and escape the dragon by returning to the place you started, outside of the dungeon. Accumulate enough points with your Artifact and other loot to beat out your opponents and earn the title of Greatest Thief in the Realm!

Robot quest arena was my personal pick for board game of the year in 2023.                                                                                     - Pat (Guild Service Representative) Robot Quest Arena is a deckbuilding board game where 2-4 players battle to be the best Robot Tech in the world.

Tiny Epic Kingdoms is the full 4X experience in a tiny package, and forgoes all the weighty setup and teardown of other games in the genre. The game’s main appeal is its lack of player down time. Every time a player takes an action on their turn, each other player has the choice to take one of two actions. This unique action economy adds a surprising amount of tactical depth, and eliminates one of the biggest problems that 4X games typically have, the wait time. The game is built to be incredibly easy to learn, and I would highly recommend it as an entry point into the 4X genre.                                                                                     - Pat (Guild Service Representative) You are a tiny kingdom with big ambition. You want to expand your population throughout the realms, learn powerful magic, build grand towers, and have your neighbors quiver at the mention of your name. The conflict? All of the other kingdoms want the same thing and there's not enough room for everyone to succeed... In Tiny Epic Kingdoms, a 4x fantasy game in a pocket-size package, each player starts with a unique faction (which has a unique technology tree) and a small territory. Throughout the game, players collect resources, explore other territories, battle each other, research magic, and work to build a great tower to protect their realm.

Around 2015 I played DC Deck Building Game for the first time and I've been hooked ever since. It's an extremely pure deck builder, where the only focus is optimizing your deck. It knows what it's good at and it does that really well. This is the quintessential deck building game, in my opinion.                                                                                 - May (Guild Service Representative)  In the DC Comics Deck-Building Game: Heroes Unite, each player takes on the role of a Super Hero such as Shazam! or Hawkman. Your Super Hero has an ability that will guide your strategy throughout the game. Each player starts with his own basic 10-card deck and draws a hand of 5 cards each turn. Power is the currency you will use to buy new, stronger cards to add to your deck. A large, central stack of cards supplies a five-card “Line-Up” from which players make their purchases. Each player will always have five face-up cards to choose from each turn, so every turn there are new options and surprises. When a player has amassed enough Power, he or she may defeat the current Super-Villain. When a Super-Villain is defeated, a new one appears and makes an Attack against each player in the game! Players can defend themselves with Defense cards like Force Field, the Helmet of Fate, or several others. In the end, the player who has accumulated the most Victory Points from the cards in his or her deck wins the game. This is the follow-up to the 2012 hit DC Comics Deck-building Game. Play Heroes United on its own, or combine it with the original for an epic battle!Number of Players: 2-5For Ages: 15+Playing Time: 30-45 MinutesMSRP: $40.00Game Box Contains:• 36 Punch Cards• 16 Vulnerability Cards• 111 Main Deck Cards• 16 Kick Cards• 12 Super-Villain Cards• 20 Weakness Cards• 7 Oversized Super Hero Cards• 211 Game Cards in total• 1 Rulebook
