Players take on the roles of Experts seeking to understand the Alien player, who is seeking to be understood. The Experts will create and transmit signals to the Alien, who has certain rules for how to respond that must be deduced by the Experts. On a turn, the Experts arrange black and white pieces on a mat, discussing and debating how and what to send. Once finished, the Alien then replies by using pre-set rules only they can see to add, remove, and adjust the signal. The Experts try to guess the pre-set rules to win cooperatively with the Alien. After succeeding at the first round, Experts then reset and continue with the same Alien, except new rules are in play on top of the previous ones. Players must work through three rounds to solve an Alien, and complete this challenge of communication and logic.

By playing cards, you change numerous aspects of the game: how to draw cards, how to play cards, and even how to win. At the start of the game, each player holds three cards and on a turn a player draws one card, then plays one card. By playing cards, you can put new rules into play that change numerous aspects of the game: how many cards to draw or play, how many cards you can hold in hand or keep on the table in front of you, and (most importantly) how to win the game. In Mystery Fluxx, a slew of detectives is trying to solve the mystery by collecting clues, examining locations, finding weapons, and sussing out secrets...all without being eliminated themselves! The game's artwork, actions, and card titles allude to favorite mystery characters and plotlines, including Clue, Sherlock Holmes, Murder on the Orient Express, The Maltese Falcon, Dragnet, Columbo, Monk, Murder She Wrote, Matlock, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, investigative teams such as CSI, NCIS, and Law & Order, and teen detectives such as Scooby Doo, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Encyclopedia Brown, and the Enid Blyton characters. Mystery Fluxx features a larger-than-normal number of card types: Meta Rules, Keepers, Creepers, Goals, New Rules, Actions, Surprises, Dangers (which eliminate you for one turn), and a brand new card type: Secrets!

In Chemical Overload, the current Master Alchemist is set to retire, but has been preparing for this by training his apprentices for years. Sure, the Academy of Alchemy has been pretty brutal so far, but the end of the road is near. The final exam is going to be rough, but it’ll be worth it, if you manage to rise above your fellow students and win the title of Master Alchemist!At the end of the final exam, you’ll be judged on the quality of your potions, which can be measured by how many Alchemy Points you’ve managed to accrue. Do this before the lab fills up with too many toxic fumes and the exam is called to a halt. You and your fellow students will start with the same basic chemicals and flasks. You’ll be combining your chemicals with the flasks of the correct size to brew magical potions. Each potion has its own effects and Alchemy Point values, and you’ll be able to use those potion’s effects throughout the game to help you gain more gold, alchemy points, more powerful chemicals, or even more powerful potions! But some potions will also add to the amount of toxic fumes in the lab! There are several thresholds, that once passed, you’ll have to draw a toxin card and deal with those effects. So you’ll want to keep an eye on that track, because once the tracker hits the end of the meter, the test is over! At the end of the final exam, the alchemist with the most Alchemy Points wins and is crowned the Master Alchemist! Chemical Overload is a Deck Building game that has elements of tableau building as well. On your turn, you’ll have a hand of cards. Any flask cards in your hand can be played to the table and remain there until used to brew a potion. There are also potions that can be played to the table for ongoing effects. As a bit of a twist on a classic deck building game, when a player gains new cards, such as new chemicals or a newly brewed deck potion, those cards go right on top of their draw pile. Any flasks or table potions gained can be placed immediately in the players tableau area. Players will be able to decide what unused cards in their hand they want to keep at the end of the round and which they want to discard, all with an eye on the cards they know they’ll be drawing next turn. Chemical Overload is for 1-4 players and takes about 45-60 minutes to play.

Five tribes have been fleeing from the titans for centuries, but things are about to change. Growing city-states pledge to end the reign of terror, determined to take on the titans and make the world a safer place for all. Each city-state competes to attract the tribes, eager for the strength of the combined peoples, who are now leaving behind old traditions with the hope that the titans can be defeated once and for all. In The Ancient World, players compete to grow the largest and most influential city-state by managing citizens, treasury, and military and by defeating titans. Players take turns sending citizens to take special actions or using military cards to attack titans. One of the actions a citizen can perform is to build Empire cards, which give more citizens, money, and abilities. A city-state's influence in the world is measured by sets of tribe banners that it owns. Each Empire card has one or more tribe banners, and tribe banners can also be gained by defeating titans. Players gain victory points (VPs) for sets of tribe banners. After six rounds, the player with the most VPs from sets of tribe banners wins.
