In Dune: Imperium Uprising, you want to continue to balance military might with political intrigue, wielding new tools in pursuit of victory. Spies will shore up your plans, vital contracts will expand your resources, or you can learn the ways of the Fremen and ride mighty sandworms into battle! Dune: Imperium Uprising is a standalone spinoff to Dune: Imperium that expands on that game's blend of deck-building and worker placement, while introducing a new six-player mode that pits two teams against one other in the biggest struggle yet. The Dune: Imperium expansions Rise of Ix and Immortality work with Uprising, as do almost all of the cards from the base game, and elements of Uprising can be used with Dune: Imperium. The choices are yours. The Imperium awaits!

  Saxony's energy revolution was so impactful that everyone wanted to start using Nucleums in their regions. Australia's huge deposits of uranium were ripe for the taking, leading to visionaries — lured by the vast number of possibilities — visiting the continent and changing it into a new global power. Here, these entrepreneurs have to face new challenges presented by the sheer size of the continent. Fortunately, the clever use of shipping lanes will help them transport resources more efficiently than by rail and even gain access to the nearby island of Tasmania, where a mad scientist conducting his own experiments managed to replicate Elsa's invention, which is now proudly presented as an experimental power plant in the island's capital of Hobart. Nucleum: Australia comes with a new map that introduces several new concepts and rule changes to the Nucleum base game. Use shipping lanes to expand your networks, build your own coal mines, and try the expert variant with bidding for the experiments.

  The Tesseract appeared in our skies six days ago, over the exact magnetic north of the planet. It was the size of a city block. Since that time it has been condensing, collapsing upon itself. It can now fit into the palm of your hand. Our world’s best minds must now find a way to contain and control the reactions of this alien artifact, or its exponentially increasing destructive power will remove our planet from existence, reconfiguring our space and time to the extra-dimensional needs of its creators. Can you and your team work together to shut down the Tesseract, or will humankind simply be a blip in the grand scheme of the universe? Time will tell. Tesseract is a compelling, cooperative dice-manipulation game for 1 to 4 players. The focal point of the game is a block of 64 dice, the Tesseract, which sits at the center of the board on a raised platform. Players will remove cubes to place in their individual labs, transfer them as needed to others, adjust the cube's values and, importantly, isolate the cubes into the containment matrix, neutralizing them. To Contain a cube a player must have in their lab 3 or more cubes all of one value (a Set) or in sequence (a Run), either all of one color or having none of the same colors. By filling the containment matrix completely (24 total unique dice) they will stop the reaction and win the game. But if the Tesseract has its last cube removed beforehand - or if 7 breaches occur, the game is lost and our world ceases to exist. Asymetric character abilities include a passive, 'always on' ability and a unique action that is only available to that player. Research cards earned during play help give players an edge, as do the even more powerful Containment cards, unlocked from the matrix. Tesseract is a very challenging co-op game, with lots of replay value built into the number of characters and various threat platforms which govern the difficulty. The game scales remarkably well and has a solo mode that is every bit as engaging. The tension mounts quickly as the Tesseract sheds cubes at the end of every player's turn, primes them and potentially causes Breaches to occur, bringing us closer to disaster.

   This expansion adds the ancient Gates of Ry’sa to the game in the form of some new terrain pieces along with some powerful new First Born threats – the Talos and the Cerberosa. It includes everything required to integrate the new miniatures and terrain with the starter set, including dice, equipment tokens, event cards and a mission booklet.The new narrative campaign in the expansion will see your Traders attempt to secure one of these gates for themselves before passing through it to reach yet more undiscovered treasures in the more distant asteroid bases. New equipment and mining opportunities await amongst the incredible new terrain pieces included in this set. The gates are housed in enormous caverns large enough for all manner of creatures to come through, and the shifting colours in the energy pylons make for an eye-catching centrepiece to your gaming table. New event cards shuffled into the deck will represent the reality-shifting nature of the nearby gate.There are three Cerberosa included in the set. These vicious beasts are deadly in close-assault and take advantage of the rules for poisoned attacks, further weakening their wounded victims. Cerberosa do not roll the Knowledge Die when they attack, instead coming with their own bespoke die. Its additional effects include crippling strikes that reduce your Skill pegs, frenzied attacks that target multiple opponents, and pure brute strength, adding further poisoned hits to their attacks.The Gates of Ry’sa includes two Talos. Like the Cerberosa the Talos rolls its own bespoke dice when attacking representing the physical effects of its powerful energy blasts. These include knocking opponents from their feet, instilling panic, and even setting their victims on fire! Talos are also very tough to kill. Getting through their rock-like armour a first time will only make them stumble – you’ll have to hit them again before they recover to permanently power them down.

  Lost in the vast and unforgiving cosmos, you are a wayward space traveler yearning to find your way back home. But the path ahead is treacherous and full of peril, for you must first find and activate the elusive homelinks that will guide you back to where you belong. The stakes are high, for failure to find and activate all four homelinks means certain doom in the unforgiving depths of space. To emerge victorious in Solus: Lost, your objective is to locate all four home links within the deck and activate them using their corresponding artifacts. These artifacts are safeguarded by four overlords that you must confront and defeat. In this game, you have two vital metrics to monitor: the damage to your ship and your pilot's age. During battles or specific scenarios, your ship may sustain damage, while your pilot's age will increase by increments of 10 years depending on certain situations. If either of these vital indicators reaches the ominous skull icon, you face defeat in the game. To commence the game, start by shuffling your deck and placing two cards face down. From these two cards, you must select one to reveal and resolve its contents. Afterward, transfer that card to its corresponding discard pile and replace it with another face-down card. Repeat this process, making your choice once more. The card you unveil might present a variety of outcomes, ranging from benevolent beings capable of repairing your pilot's age to asteroid fields, hostile starfighters, or even the menacing time eater. Engaging in combat involves rolling a twenty-sided die (D20) and following the damage scale to determine whether you, or the enemy sustains damage, or whether you both receive damage.
