In order to preserve the species, you must ensure breeding within each habitat.During the game, you select animal tiles and dice, where the dice represent food for the animals. The color of the dice must match the habitat color of the animal tiles. Each turn provides crucial decision-making where you need to consider whether to draft a die of a certain value or ensure an animal tile which may not be available again.At game end, for each area of connected tiles of the same habitat, you score points for the sum of your dice of that color. However, points are only awarded if dice values of 1 or 2 are placed on certain “family” tiles within the habitat! Over the course of the game, you will also build watchtowers, which will score you points for all three dice adjacent to them. To make your park even more spectacular, you also aim to collect as many different species as possible, with increasing points awarded for greater variety. Finally, the player with the most points wins the game.After a few plays, you may challenge yourself by playing with three (of 18) mission tiles. While they offer the potential for a higher score, they also raise the difficulty level of the puzzle.Spectacular provides simultaneous play and ensures interaction between the players, as your opponents’ decisions will affect which tiles and dice are available for you. The game also comes with asymmetric player boards (on their backs).Spectacular offers simple rules, quick set-up, short playing time, engaging puzzles, and can be played by 1 to 6 players with little downtime, even with higher player count. ENGAGING PUZZLE:  Spectacular challenges players with a unique and engaging puzzle where they must draft animal tiles and matching food dice to fill their park habitats. The color-matching mechanic creates a satisfying brain-teaser that rewards strategic thinking and planning. SIMULTANEOUS PLAY: Experience a dynamic and fast-paced game where all players act simultaneously, ensuring minimal downtime and continuous interaction. The race to collect the right combinations of animals and food keeps everyone on their toes. MULTIPLE PATHS TO VICTORY:  Score points by creating diverse animal habitats, fulfilling mission objectives, and strategically claiming bonus tiles. The varied scoring opportunities offer strategic depth and ensure that each game feels fresh and exciting. SCALABLE DIFFICULTY: Choose from three different difficulty levels by adding mission tiles that introduce new challenges and scoring opportunities.  The flexible difficulty ensures that Spectacular is accessible to both casual players and those seeking a more demanding experience. ASYMMETRIC PLAYER BOARDS: Each player's board is unique, featuring different starting animals and habitat layouts. This asymmetry creates a sense of individual strategy and adds replay value as players explore different combinations and tactics. Contents: 6 Player boards 6 Supply boards 96 Dice 24 Watchtowers 108 Animal tiles 30 Worker tokens 18 Mission tokens 8 Solo tokens 10 tuck boxes

Will your map be the most precise, granting you the name of the true Night Sky Explorer? In this game, players take on the role of astronomy enthusiasts who stare at the starry skies for hours. During the game, they will use their boards with rotating maps to mark the star constellations they see - each player marks their unique constellations on their maps. Points are awarded for each constellation marked on the map that contains the correct stars. Additionally, players receive points for placing their constellations in the right places on the map.The player with the highest total amount of points at the end of the game wins.

As an architect in Welcome To..., you want to build the best new town in the United States of the 1950s by adding resources to a pool, hiring employees, and more. Welcome To... plays like a roll-and-write dice game in which you mark results on a score-sheet...but without dice. Instead you flip cards from three piles to make three different action sets with both a house number and a corresponding action from which everyone chooses one. You use the number to fill in a house on your street in numerical order. Then you take the action to increase the point value of estates you build or score points at the end for building parks and pools. Players also have the option of taking actions to alter or duplicate their house numbers. And everyone is racing to be the first to complete public goals. There's lots to do and many paths to becoming the best suburban architect in Welcome To...! Because of the communal actions, game play is simultaneous and thus supports large groups of players. With many varying strategies and completely randomized action sets, no two games will feel the same!
