• For Sale
• Number of Players: 6
• GM: Bob Fix
• Description: For Sale is a quick, fun game nominally about buying and selling real estate. During the game's two distinct phases players first bid for several buildings, then, after all buildings have been bought, sell the buildings for the greatest profit possible.

• Metropolys
• Number of Players: 4
• GM: Robert Fix
• Description:The awe-inspiring Metropolys is in effervescence! Talented Urban planners and architects rival each other to make luxury, elegant buildings of glass and steel defying the laws of balance grow from the ground. Who will eventually impose their style to leave an indelible trail in the history of the city? The answer is in your hands!

  The players are urban planners in quest of prestige. Over the course of the game, they try to construct their buildings in the best places. As soon as a player has placed all of their buildings, the game ends. The player with the most prestige is the winner.

• Risk 2210
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Mike Yetzer
• Description:Risk 2210 A.D. is yet another entry in the long series of Risk variants. Set in the not-so-distant future, battles are now fought by machines of destruction, known as MODS, for short. Human commanders still lead these mechanized troops, but these commanders each have special powers and abilities. These come into play via the use of Command cards, which add a new dimension to the game. Now, the battle is not just for the continents, but the sea and moon are also battlegrounds.

  Although much has been added, the basic flavor of the game is still Risk. One welcome change is the institution of a five-turn game limit, which allows the game to play to completion in about three hours. Further, players must also factor in economics in the form of energy. This energy is used to purchase Command cards, bid for Turn Order, and hire new commanders. There is much more strategy and planning involved in this new version, but it should still appeal to the classic Risk fans.

• Kaiser's Pirates
• Number of Players: 4
• GM: Blake Lipman
• Description: THE KAISERS PIRATES™ is a fast-paced card game of gripping adventure on the high seas set during World War One. Players control some of Kaiser Wilhelm’s ace German converted commerce-raiders and light cruisers. Air patrols were in their infancy and it was still easy to disappear into the vast expanses of the high seas only to re-emerge on another key sea lane. Players use their raiders in the traditions of the privateers and pirates of old to sink or capture as many Allied and neutral merchantmen as possible. Danger lurks everywhere but, in a desperate pinch, these ships can shoot it out with the British hunters.
  In its unique game play system each player commands both the German and British Forces as they scourer the sea-lanes in search of their next merchant prize. No opponent available or just looking to sharpen game-play strategies? THE KAISERS PIRATES™ solitaire game system has everything needed.

• Jet Set
• Number of Players: 6
• GM: Nick Paterni
• Description: Spend money to place your airplanes on key airlinks between cities. The first to place an airplane on a link gains cheaper rights, but other players can still use the link for a price. A number of flight cards are on display; a player can claim one after connecting the two cities shown. Longer flights are worth more points, but the short flights are easier and less expensive to achieve, and they bring in just as much income as the long flights. At the end, it's urgent to get your secret Final Flight done, connecting three cities. The winner is the player with the most valuable collection of flights achieved, including bonuses for finishing the Final Flight sooner.

• Kill Dr Lucky & his little dog too
• Number of Players: 8
• GM: Mike Uhl
• Description: For over ten years, you’ve tried to kill that simpering old fool, Doctor J. Robert Lucky. Sometimes you succeed, but most of the time you don’t find the right weapon, or you find yourself lost inside the old man’s mansion, or you notice someone watching and postpone your attempt.

  And if that weren’t bad enough, Doctor Lucky bought a dog. His name is Shamrock, and he’s just as lucky as his master. He also has an annoying habit of making you feel fond of him. And that makes you mad—mad enough to Kill Doctor Lucky... and His Little Dog Too.

• Frag Gold
• Number of Players: 6
• GM: Alan Toby
• Description: Game starts. Enemy in sight . . . Frag him! Grab his stuff! Run! Get a bigger gun! Grab some armor! There he is again! Frag him! Whoa, there's another one. Run . . . you're hit! You're down. Respawn! Grab a weapon! Start again!

  Frag is a computer game without a computer. It's a "first-person shooter" on a tabletop. Move your fighter and frag your foes; draw cards for weapons, armor, and gadgets; move through the blood spatters to restore your own health! If you die, you respawn and come back shooting!

• Hollywood Blockbuster
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Doug Palmer
• Description: Reiner Knizia's auction game about producing movies. In four rounds, players bid on chips representing genuine directors, actors, camera, effects, music, guest stars and agents. These all get placed on players' film-strips, to complete the movie production. So one movie might need 2 actors, but no music or effects and so on. As films are completed, the points value is marked and another film-strip taken. There are two parties each round where players get to pick from offers without paying anything. There are bonus points for first films completed and best films, best directors, even worst film.

  The auction is a basic rising offer with passing until one winning bid remains. Players pay into the pot with contracts as money, and the rest of the players share the pot each turn. So it's a closed economy with players trying to time to bid on what they really need to complete films.

• The Stars are Right
• Number of Players: 4
• GM: Walter Schirmacher
• Description:In the game you'll start small, bringing ghasts and ghouls back to our reality. Invoke minor creatures to flip over a tile or push a row, creating the correct patterns to summon more and more powerful ones. Eventually, you'll build a horde of Servitors who can chain flips, pushes, and switches together; rearranging the entire grid to your whims. Change the skies, summon a Great Old One, and win! The game is won by acquiring 10 points first, which can be done by summoning many small creatures or going for Great Old Ones. Creatures which give more points tend to require more complex constellations. The night sky is represented by a 5x5 field of objects. It can be manipulated by moving a row by one object (cycling through), flipping one object (both sides have different objects), and switching two neighboring objects.

• Pack and Stack
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Betsy Cox
• Description: The players try to fill their trucks as perfectly as possible.
  They start each round with a random selection of goods. Then the available trucks are revealed and everybody tries to get the one truck that is most useful for his goods. The players get negative scores if they packed their truck and it was too large (a lot of unused space) or too small (a lot of goods don't fit). So it's a matter of picking the right truck quickly.

• Bombay
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Robert Hill
• Description: During the game the players will acquire goods which they will try to resell at the best price in four cities. Each type of good has its own market where the prices of the goods will fluctuate. To transport their goods, each player owns a charming elephant able to transport up to two bundles.

• Pillars of Earth
• Number of Players: 6
• GM: Adam Tucker
• Description: At the beginning of the 13th century, construction of the greatest and most beautiful cathedral in England begins. Players are builders who try to contribute the most to this cathedral's construction and, in so doing, score the most victory points. Gameplay roughly consists of using workers to produce raw materials, and then using craftsmen to convert the materials into victory points. Workers may also be used to produce gold, the currency of the game. Players are also given three master builders each turn, each of which can do a variety of tasks, including recruiting more workers, buying or selling goods, or just obtaining victory points. Getting early choices with a master builder costs gold, as does purchasing better craftsmen. Players must strike a balance between earning gold to fund their purchases and earning victory points.

• Duck Dealer
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Blake Lipman
• Description:  Duck Dealer is a game of involved, complex planning, set against a background of intergalactic trade. It is a game about recognizing routes, and developing profitable infrastructures; but above all, it's a game of racing your opponent to that one great opportunity you both see-- or does he have a different plan?
  The object of the game is to amass riches by buying plastic beads, yellow rubber ducks, blue paint, and other innovative high-tech materials and then selling them to hapless consumers across the universe.
  Players take turns. Most turns will be very quick as players focus on collecting enough energy to realize their plans. From time to time, a player will burst into action, fly around the universe, and, hopefully, gain more money than his opponents…
  Over the course of the game, players improve their spaceship, adding extra gear and cargo space. As they explore the galaxy, new centers of production rise to prominence, trade routes are changed, and money is made by different tricks…

• Le Havre
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Nick Paterni
• Description: In Le Havre, a player’s turn consists of two parts: First, distribute newly supplied goods onto the offer spaces; then take an action. As an action, players may choose either to take all goods of one type from an offer space or to use one of the available buildings. Building actions allow players to upgrade goods, sell them or use them to build their own buildings and ships. Buildings are both an investment opportunity and a revenue stream, as players must pay an entry fee to use buildings that they do not own. Ships, on the other hand, are primarily used to provide the food that is needed to feed the workers.
• After every seven turns, the round ends: players’ cattle and grain may multiply through a Harvest, and players must feed their workers. After a fixed number of rounds, each player may carry out one final action, and then the game ends. Players add the value of their buildings and ships to their cash reserves. The player who has amassed the largest fortune is the winner.

• Small World
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Richard Sullivan
• Description:

  In Small World, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all.

  Designed by Philippe Keyaerts as a fantasy follow-up to his award-winning Vinci, Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs and even humans; who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth.

  Picking the right combination from the 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory!

• Air Baron
• Number of Players: 6
• GM: Mike Yentzer
• Description: This odd game, ostensibly about airlines vying for control of the American skies, comes off as more of a war game. In an effort to control major-city hubs, players pay and roll the dice to take over individual spokes. Income is generated by randomly selecting purchased spokes and controlled hubs. When one player controls a certain percentage of the market and has accumulated a certain amount of money, that player wins.

• Container
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Doug Palmer
• Description: Container is a game about big ships and big production. Each player will play both as a producer and shipper of goods. Players will decide which products they want to produce, and which of the OTHER player's goods they want to ship out to a remote island. During these phases, players will be able to set the prices for their goods and try to maximize their cash!

  Once the goods have reached the island, players will play the part of the purchaser for their tiny island. Players bid for the goods arriving each day by ship, and the highest bidder collects these goods for conversion into points at the end of the game.

  Sounds simple? It is! But the real challenge is turning your home production into goods for your island. Your government is willing to subsidize your purchases, but just how much money do you want to give to your competitors for that lovely crate of goods your island desperately needs?

• Revolution
• Number of Players: 4

This game is for 3-4 players and takes 60 minutes to play.

• GM: Bob Fix
• Description: A short game in which players control a number of penguins. The penguins move over hex-shaped ice tiles with 1, 2 or 3 fish on them.

The player with the most fish in the end wins.

• Monsters Menace America
• Number of Players: 4
• GM: Lee Keefer
• Description: Each player is one of six Giant Monsters, stomping across a map of the USA in search of cities to destroy. The monsters run the gamut from the classic (enormous lizards and gargantuan apes) to the slightly more unconventional (giant walking eyeball), and each has its own set of attributes and powers.

  Ingeniously, everyone also controls an arm of the military, which can be used to attack and weaken the other monsters on the board. It's a losing battle for the militia -- monsters can wipe out military bases and reduce the total number of forces available to each player -- but you can get a few good licks in early in the game.The battle escalates until the 20th city is reduced to rubble. At that time, all the monsters duke it out in a free-for-all, mano-a-clawo Monster Challenge; when the dust settles, the last monster standing is declared the winner.

• Kingsburg 
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Matt Smith
• Description: In Kingsburg, players are governors enlisted by the King to administer his new border provinces. Over the course of five years, players compete to influence the King\'s advisors to gather resources and information, to be used to construct buildings and make other improvements in their province. At the end of each year, the provinces will be attacked by an invading force, so players must also manage their defenses throughout the game. The winner is the player who is the most successful at managing their province, and thus will have amassed the most victory points at the end of the five years.

• Power Grid
• Number of Players: 6
• GM: Dan Moellering
• Description: Power Grid is the updated release of the Friedemann Friese crayon game Funkenschlag. The latest cooperative publishing effort from Friedemann Friese and Rio Grande Games, removes the crayon aspect from network building in the original edition while retaining the fluctuating commodities market like McMulti and an auction round intensity reminiscent of The Princes of Florence.

  The object of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities.

  However, as plants are purchased, newer more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing you're potentially allowing others access to superior equipment.

  Additionally, players must acquire the raw materials (coal, oil, garbage and uranium) needed to power said plants (except for the 'renewable' windfarm/ solar plants which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest routes.

• Niagara
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Mike Uhl
• Description: Niagara is set in the not particularly safe world of rushing waterfalls. In the late 18th Century, the Shawnee and Iroquois Indians pointed white Desperadoes, Mercenaries and Adventurers in the direction of hidden caches of valuable jewels, in the hopes of turning them against one another and away from their territorial expansion ambitions. Players play as some of those Adventurers.

  The first player to be able to claim ownership of five jewels is the winner. But the chase after the riches has some snags. The speed of the river is always changing, since the speed depends on the decisions of the players and the changeable weather. And once a canoe goes over the walls, it's a hefty investment to replace it. And there are also the Desperadoes to contend with, who aren't above trying to plunder the riches from Adventurers returning home. Niagara is distinguished by an innovative movement mechanic as well as a beautiful three-dimensional rendering of the waterfall setting

• Augsburg 1520
• Number of Players: 10
• GM: Bob Garcia
• Description: The game play uses a simple bidding mechanism. Each round, players offer cards of varying values in a series of five auctions. Once a bid is made, players either raise the bid, call, or drop. The winning player may choose from a set of possible actions that increase abilities (and more importantly, points). After a number of rounds (dependent on the number of players), scores are tallied. It's that simple.

• Mega-Carcassonne
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Gwommy 'Bill' Holderman
• Description: In this fairly light tile-laying offering, players pull a tile from the pool and place it against one of the previously played tiles. If you start a new object (city, road, farm, or monastery), you can place one of your control markers on the tile to denote your control. Markers (called Followers by the publisher and called Meeples by us) cannot directly compete when placed, so to achieve some gains, you must place your marker and use later tiles to connect up to it.
• To Include: Builders&Traders, Inns&Cathedrals, Count of Carcassonne, River I&II, King&Scout, Princess&Dragon, Tower, Abbey&Mayor, Cult&Siege, and Wheel of Fortune. Also ,Catapult(TBD by players)

This game is a Spiel des Jahres (German game of the year, 1995) winner, primarily because of its amazing ability to appeal to non-gamers and gamers alike.

• Planet Steam
• Number of Players: 5
• GM: Matt Smith
• Description: Welcome dear Imperialists. It's the year 2415. The interplanetary federation (IPF) has done a great job in the last centuries. All necessary precautions have been taken to conquer this planet named "Steam" The core of the planet consists of a 6500 degrees Celsius hot source containing different resources, including water. It has taken over 100 years to complete the first block of 42 shafts from the surface to the core.

  But now the time has come. From every shaft surges the hot steam that is the basis of the production of raw materials. To be able to use and process this steam, platforms have to \be placed over the shafts. Later, we can use the platforms to connect the water purification tanks. By using several tank extractors we can harvest other resources like energy, ore and quartz from the steam. These resources are important. You will need them to grow your steam empires. You will need to increase the capacity of your landing craft to transport your harvested materials off planet. Buy and sell the resources at the Trading terminal for profit, as currency is -like on earth- always on short supply on Planet Steam.
