PEST - Our once great Empire was struck by a devastating plague Will you answer the call to save it? Once standing tall and great, we now need to rediscover and rebuild our fallen cities. There are still survivors among the ruins we must take them in our care and cure them. In order to stay ahead of the plague, we must implement new inventions and technologies. Our influence will expand as we rebuild, but the plague will still lurk in the shadows, ready to strike when we least expect it. Once it does, it will be difficult to adapt, but we will survive. In addition to the procurement of important resources, our imperative will be to get the plague under control. Fight against the cataclysmic plague and rebuild the once-fallen empire in this strategic euro board game. Pest is played in 6 rounds. Each round before players take their turn, a plague card will be revealed which shows how the plague will spread in that round. On their turn, players will be able to select among many actions on their player board using a unique action selection system. Thus, players will be able to move their containment team on the board, quarantine and cure infected people, rebuild, assign workers, harvest resources, and more.

Become the disease that fights humanity in this stand-alone game that flips the original Pandemic concept. In Pandemic: Contagion, the tables are turned: you are the disease, striking back against humanity! In this decidedly non-cooperative stand-alone game inspired by Pandemic, you compete against other players to exterminate human civilization through worldwide infection. Fuel your actions with cards that can spread disease by infecting new cities across the globe. You can also mutate your disease to accelerate the rate at which you draw cards, infect cities, or resist efforts to curb your growth. The more people you infect and the faster you grow, the more points you’ll score. The disease with the highest death toll at the end of the game wins!

We’ve brought dinosaurs back to life, but who will care for these magnificent and dangerous beasts? You are paleo-veterinarians, competing to save as many dinos as possible from modern illnesses and injuries. Roll dice, upgrade your hospital, and compete with fellow paleo-veterinarians to treat injured and sick dinosaurs. As long as the dinosaurs don’t wake up during treatment, nothing can go wrong… In Paleovet, players take turns drafting dinosaur cards from a central river, rolling dice, and spending dice icons for various effects, most notably curing sick and injured dinosaurs. Each dinosaur card lists which icons are needed to cure it, and effect, victory points, its genetic order, and diet. Dinosaur effects can occur when the dinosaur appears in the center of the table when it is added to your hospital, or while it remains in your hospital. These effects can change gameplay in a variety of ways. On your turn, you’ll follow a series of steps: 1. Remove a sleep token from each dinosaur in your hospital. 2. If you have fewer than four dinosaur cards in your hospital, select a dinosaur card from the five cards showing in the center of the table. Move it into your hospital. 3. Roll your dice. You begin with three basic dice and can purchase specialty dice later. The dice faces show the three treatments needed to cure dinosaurs, a tranquilizer dart, and a wild icon. 4. You may now spend dice and wild tokens to: a. Cure dinosaurs by matching the treatment icons on the dice to the treatments listed on the dinosaur card. Each dinosaur requires between 1 and 5 treatments to complete b. Buy additional dice by spending three matching dice icons c. Buy a one-use wild token by spending two matching dice icons d. Buy an upgrade card that provides a permanent beneficial effect by spending two matching icons e. Spend a tranquilizer dart icon to move an additional dinosaur into your hospital (if you have less than 4 in your hospital already) 5. Any dinosaurs that are not cured and have no sleep tokens on them at the end of your turn wake. When this happens, discard the dinosaur card. If it was a carnivore, you must also discard another dinosaur card in your hospital (if you have any). 6. Any dinosaurs that were cured during your turn are moved into a victory pile. You’ve now scored the points listed on that dinosaur card. Play continues until one of the card piles in the center of the table is empty. The round is completed, then all players total the points on their cured dinosaurs. The player with the highest score wins.
