Dinosaur Tea Party
"You're looking well, darling. One lump or two?" It's the most sought-after invitation of the year: Dinoton Abbey for high tea. Now you're all gussied up in your finery and ready for some tea and chit-chat. One problem: You can't remember anyone's name. Who's that, sporting the fancy brooch with her pet chicken? Is that Jeannine? Beatriz? Oh, dear. If you're not careful, you'll commit a faux pas everyone will be gossiping about. Dinosaur Tea Party is a game of pure deduction for 3-5 homo sapiens. Each player takes a card corresponding to one of the dino guests. Players take turns asking each other questions or guessing their dinosaur's name. If someone guesses your name, draw a new card. The first player to guess three names wins.

Great Plains
Our ancient ancestors created images on the walls of caves to tell stories about their world and the animals they shared it with. And perhaps they - like you today - played games to make those stories come to life. A mysterious game about the not so mysterious behavior of mankind: two players compete for the dominance over the Great Plains! With help from the spiritual animal world they overcome hills, cross the lowlands and invade each other's territory in order to become the tribe who will live on. Created by the same designers who brought you Mandala and beautifully illustrated by renowned artist Klemens Franz, Great Plains lets you experience the struggle and fight of our ancestors.

Stone Age
The "Stone Age" times were hard indeed. In their roles as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers, our ancestors worked with their legs and backs straining against wooden plows in the stony earth. Of course, progress did not stop with the wooden plow. People always searched for better tools and more productive plants to make their work more effective. In Stone Age, the players live in this time, just as our ancestors did. They collect wood, break stone and wash their gold from the river. They trade freely, expand their village and so achieve new levels of civilization. With a balance of luck and planning, the players compete for food in this pre-historic time. Players use up to ten tribe members each in three phases. In the first phase, players place their men in regions of the board that they think will benefit them, including the hunt, the trading center, or the quarry. In the second phase, the starting player activates each of their staffed areas in whatever sequence they choose, followed in turn by the other players. In the third phase, players must have enough food available to feed their populations, or they face losing resources or points.

Fossilis
An incredible new dinosaur graveyard has been discovered, and if the early findings are any indication, it could be a treasure trove of fossils and bones like the world has never seen! In Fossilis, 2 to 5 players become paleontologists working the dig site with shovels, whisk brooms, and chisels looking for a find that could make their career. Each round, players get two actions to dig at the site or make an extraction. As they remove the top layers of sand, clay, and stone, they'll discover trace fossils, which can be exchanged for tools, the plaster necessary to extract bones, and discovery points. As they delve deeper, precious bones will be exposed. They can make a careful extraction if they have the right amount of plaster, but sometimes shifting the earth to cover up a find and slow down the competition is the right move. Bones on their own can be valuable, but museums are really interested in more complete specimens. Sets of bones can be exchanged for museum cards worth big points! Fossilis features a unique 3D dig site board, with recessed pockets filled with dinosaur bones, and thick, chunky terrain tiles that cover the dig site. Players have to use strategy, timing, and a little bit of luck if they want to make the best discoveries, get their name in all the paleontology journals, and of course, win the game.

Prehistories
You are the leader of a prehistoric tribe, deciding which members of your tribe go hunting and what prey they want to catch. To guide you, the Elders have created challenges that you can complete by painting on the wall of your cave. Each round in Prehistories, you and your fellow tribe leaders bid simultaneously (and secretly) to decide who hunts where. The more hunters you have, the bigger the game you can catch, but the slower you are. The fastest player — that is, the one with the smallest sum of hunters — goes first, but they have few hunters with which to hunt. To hunt, you assign your hunters to one or more locations to catch the prey waiting there. Prey is represented by polyomino tiles, and the larger the tile, the higher the sum required. If you have just enough hunters to catch your prey, they might be wounded in the process, which means you'll draw fewer hunter cards at the end of the round to refill your hand. (They distrust your leadership when you get them injured!) In the second phase of a round, you paint your cave with the animal tiles collected during the hunting phase. Your cave is represented by a 7x7 grid that starts with a few tiles already in place. The first tile you place goes in the left-hand column, and all subsequent tiles must touch tiles already placed, with all tiles being oriented so that the animals are viewed with their legs (or fins) down. (Cavemen have simple tastes and want everything to be representational.) When you fulfill the wishes of the Elders by painting your cave in certain ways — such as completing a horizontal line or connecting opposing corners or surrounding a legendary animal on all sides — you place one or more totem tokens on that challenge. Whoever first discards their eight totem tokens wins.

Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers
Experience a new way to play the bestselling tile-laying game Carcassonne! Thousands of years before the first bricks were laid to build the medieval city of Carcassonne, the area was settled by a prehistoric people who hunted wild animals, gathered berries, and caught fish to ensure their survival. Only cave paintings and archaeological finds hint at the lives of these prosperous hunters and gatherers! In Carcassonne: Hunters & Gatherers, just as in the original game, players take turns placing tiles and meeples to score points from a growing landscape. But rather than cities, roads, farms, and monasteries, players build forests, rivers, lakes, and meadows, and place hunters, gatherers, and fisher meeples for points. Featuring familiar rules but adding a handful of new bonuses and scoring variations, Hunters & Gatherers has something for both new and veteran Carcassonne players to love.

Stone Age: The Expansion
The prehistoric players have already learned how to build huts and hunt food. Now they sit around the fire, gaze in wonder at the tribal matriarch, and wonder how they can look as good as her: "Why is my tooth just hanging?" "Honey, I also want something to make my skin look good." In this expansion for Stone Age, style is the goal as ornaments and jewelry become part of the game – not to mention a merchant to handle such items. Players can now transform their raw materials into jewelry and other adornments. This expansion includes a new location for the village, new cards, and new huts – not to mention components that allow game play with up to five Stone Age hunter-gatherers.
