RA
Invoke the power of the sun god!
Take on the role of a line of ancient Egyptian kings, ruling over your vast kingdoms. You will work to improve the culture of Egypt and the strength of your royal lineage, all while following the will of the gods.
Time is limited, so you must wisely decide how to spend your days.
In the end, will you have pleased the gods enough to move on to the Field of Reeds in the afterlife?
Ra is an auction and set-collection game with an Ancient Egyptian theme. Each turn players are able to purchase lots of tiles with their bidding tiles (suns). Once a player has used up his or her suns, the other players continue until they do likewise, which may set up a situation with a single uncontested player bidding on tiles before the end of the round occurs.
Tension builds because the round may end before all players have had a chance to win their three lots for the epoch. The various tiles either give immediate points, prevent negative points for not having certain types at the end of the round (epoch), or give points after the final round. The game lasts for three “epochs” (rounds).
The game offers a short learning curve, and experienced players find it both fast-moving and a quick play.

STRUGGLE FOR CATAN
In 2010, designer Klaus Teuber overhauled the two-player Catan card game with the release of The Rivals for Catan – released in Germany as Die Fürsten von Catan – and in 2011 Teuber, Kosmos and Mayfair Games present a new multi-player card game set in the Catan universe: The Struggle for Catan.
As in the original The Settlers of Catan board game, players need to manage their resources in order to build settlements, roads, cities, city improvements and knights, all of which grant victory points (VPs) or special abilities. Control of roads and knights can change hands during the game, so don't assume that what's yours will stay yours. City improvements are expensive, but they bring you additional VPs and other bonuses, so strive to spiff up your cities! The first player to have ten VPs wins the game.
The game is dice-less and resource gain and exchanging is based on each player's developments making this version less luck dependent than the original. A twist in the game is that certain developments are limited and can be stolen from other players once there are no new ones left. The first player to gain 10 victory points, wins the game.
(Note that Kosmos lists this game with a 30-minute playing time, while Mayfair Games sets the playing time at 45-60 minutes.)

MANIFEST
It's the roaring '20s and there's a fortune to be made steaming across the wild oceans. To succeed, you'll need a captain's steady nerve and the help of Lady Luck to land your cargo where it's needed. You have ships full of passengers and precious cargo, but can you outrun pirate robbers, terrifying storms and a stock market crash that might devalue your goods?
Manifest is a game of cargo ships, sea scoundrels, and nautical mayhem. Win points for your shipping company by completing Contracts. Pick up the required goods or passengers at their source, then navigate the high seas to deliver them to their destination. With a choice of private and public contracts and multi-purpose action cards, there are many paths to victory, and some "take that" options to make sure your opponents don't steal the limelight.
Manifest can be played in two ways: Standard and Expert. The Standard game is the introductory and family game. The Expert game builds on this, with a deck-buying and building mechanism replacing the blind card draw, thus adding another level of strategy that confident players may prefer.

TERRAFORMING MARS UTOPIA & CIMMERIA (EXPANSION)
Take your adventure to the lava plains of the North or the highlands of the South! Each map depicts a new region of Mars, with new placement bonuses, ocean areas, and new sets of milestones and awards.
- UTOPIA PLANITIA -
Utopia is a lava plain located northwest of Elysium and belongs to the northern lowlands – it’s also the largest recognized impact crater in the entire Solar System! Mineral-rich lava can be made into fertile soil, motivating the plentiful plant bonuses away from the equator. To the south it borders on the Great Escarpment along the edge of the southern highlands. The thin crust closer to the North Pole could be a suitable spot for geothermal energy plants. Gain 2 extra cards for settling the prestigeous Viking 2 or Beagle 2 landing sites! The Utopia map lacks volcanos and the Noctis region, so the tiles from the cards Noctis City and cards that place tiles on volcanic areas (for example Lava Flows) lose their placement restrictions and may be placed on any nonreserved area.
Milestones:
MANAGER – 3 special tiles in play.PIONEER – 3 colonies in play.TRADER – 3 different types of resources on cards (e.g. different kinds of microbes only count as 1 type of resource).METALLURGIST – 6 steel production and titanium production combined.RESEARCHER – 4 science tags.Awards:
Suburbian – most tiles along the border of the map.Investor – most Earth tags.Botanist – highest plant production.Incorporator – most cards played with a cost of 10 M€ or less.Metropolist – most city tiles.- TERRA CIMMERIA -
Terra Cimmeria is a densly cratered highland region on Mars’ southern hemisphere, half way to the south pole, east of the Hellas basin. This is the best place on the planet for finding steel and titanium! The whole region shows signs of shorelines and water erosion from liquid water formerly flowing abundantly through the southern highlands. However, the lowlands suitable for oceans in the present day are located along the edges of this region. Placing a tile where the Curiosity rover explored the area around the Gale crater places a colony for 5 M€ (ignore if not playing with Colonies). The Cimmeria map does not have the Noctis region, so Noctis City may be placed without its restriction. It does, however, have four volcanic areas where tiles like Lava Flows may be placed: Albor Tholus, Tyrrhenus Mons, Hadriacus Mons, and Apollinaris Mons.
Milestones:
PLANETOLOGIST – 2 Earth tags, 2 Venus tags, 2 Jovian tags.ARCHITECT – 3 city tags.COASTGUARD – 3 tiles adjacent to ocean.FORESTER – 3 plant production.FUNDRAISER – 12 M€ production.Awards:
Electrician – most power tags.Founder – most tiles adjacent to special tiles.Mogul – highest total production of all resources except M€.Zoologist – most animal and microbe resources.Forecaster – most played cards with requirements.

TERRAFORMING MARS AMAZONIS & VASTITAS (EXPANSION)
Explore the ancient sea of Vastitas Borealis, or play the larger Amazonis map with longer global parameters! Each map depicts a new region of Mars, with new placement bonuses, ocean areas, and new sets of milestones and awards.
- AMAZONIS PLANITIA -
This map takes it’s name from the lava plains west of the mighty Olympus Mons. This area is highlighted by energy bonuses and is extremely flat and smooth compared to the mountains and craters covering much of Mars. This larger map features longer global parameters for a better 4-5 player experience. Or maybe you just want more space to settle and more terraforming for yourself. Here you also find wild resource bonuses that give you any standard resource. The delegate bonuses let you place delegates for free from the Reserve (ignore if not playing with Turmoil). Noctis City may be placed without its restriction, and volcanic areas are highlighted: Olympus Mons, Ascreaus Mons, Pavonis Mons, Arsia Mons and Hecates Tholus.NOTE: Includes 2 additional ocean tiles, 13 cities/greeneries, 1 Standard Project tile, and 1 optional Venus board with a longer Venus track.

Vastitas Borealis is a lowland covering a large part of Mars’ northern hemisphere. This was once a large ocean! The map centers around the North Pole, mostly consisting of water ice. On top of that, there is a layer of frozen carbon dioxide which is released when you place a tile there. This increases the temperature one step, but costs you 4 M€. The earliest landing sites on Mars, Viking 1 and Viking 2, let you place a delegate for free from the Reserve (ignore if not playing with Turmoil). The Vastitas map does not have the Noctis region, so Noctis City may be placed without its restriction. It does, however, have four volcanic areas where tiles like Lava Flows may be placed: Hecates Tholus, Elysium Mons, Alba Mons, and Uranius Tholus.
Milestones:
AGRONOMIST – 4 plant tags.ENGINEER – 10 production of energy and heat combined.SPACEFARER – 4 space tags.GEOLOGIST – 3 tiles on, or adjacent to, volcanic areas (any tile covering a volcanic area could be marked with a gold cube until this milestone is claimed).FARMER – 5 animal and microbe resources combined.Awards:
Traveller – most Jovian and Earth tags.Landscaper – most connected tiles (each player counts his/her largest group of tiles).Highlander – most tiles not adjacent to ocean.Promoter – most event cards played.Blacksmith – highest production of steel and titanium combined.

PONZI SCHEME
Based on the textbook example of financial scams, "Ponzi Scheme" is the term used to describe the technique Charles Ponzi employed in 1919 to operate one of the most notorious financial frauds in history.
In the game Ponzi Scheme, players are scammers trying to trick investors into funding fraudulent investments with the promise of extremely high returns. You need elaborate trading skills to keep your operation afloat as long as possible, and as time goes on the dividends you need to pay every turn will only pile higher and higher! But when someone declares bankruptcy, the remaining fraudster who forged the biggest shell corporation wins the game!
The goal of the game is simple: Don't be the first player to go bankrupt!
In more detail, on each turn, players must take one new Fund card from the Funding boards along with a corresponding Industry tile and cash as indicated on the card. You need to pay the "promised reward" of each Fund card in a number of rounds.
After all players have taken their Fund cards, they may choose to initiate an "inside trade" with one other player in order to buy the Industry you want with a price they can't refuse, or sell your own Industry to them with a good price.
At the end of the round, players rotate their Time Wheel 1 or 2 spaces, and pay the "promised reward" to the bank if any Fund card is due.
The game continues until at least one player cannot pay the "promised reward" due and goes bankrupt. That player is out of the game, and the remaining player who has the most VP on their Industry wins.

"Immediate" buildings with a one-time effectProcessing buildings and buildings with an ongoing effectBuildings that provide bonus points at the end of the game for various accomplishments
Choose the right buildings, place landscapes, fire up your glass production, and expand your domain.Two resource wheels on your tableau help you keep track of your resources and production.A wide selection of buildings and their different effects offer many different paths to victory.
Uwe Rosenberg’s legendary resource wheels are making once again making their presence, made famous in Glass Road (2013). Black Forest continues the story - as the name suggests — in the Black Forest. Among others, the main difference between the two games is the the action selection (Worker Placement/Black Forest vs. Simultaneous Action Selection/Glass Road).

ARK NOVA: MARINE WORLDS EXPANSION
Ark Nova: Marine Worlds, an expansion for Ark Nova, introduces multiple new elements to the game, such as sea animals that each have to be played in new special enclosures that must be built adjacent to water.
Roughly half the sea animals are reef dwellers, and whenever you add a reef dweller to your zoo, you trigger the ability of all reef dwellers in your zoo. To deal with the dilution of the deck, naturally caused by adding more cards, all sea cards feature a wave icon, and whenever it is revealed in the display, you discard the first card in the row, then replenish.
A new fourth university is available on the association board, and if you take it, you claim one of six special universities from the reserve that feature one research icon and one of six animal icons. When you take this registry, you reveal cards from the top of the deck and keep the first revealed card with an animal icon that matches your chosen university.
For each of the five action cards, four alternate versions with a little twist will be available. Players draft action cards at the start of play, replacing two of their standard action cards with these new ones, increasing the asymmetry in the game.
New bonus tiles and final scoring cards will also be included.
Also the expansion will include alternate wooden markers for the 3 tracks and cute animals to mark the conservation projects you support instead of using your regular player markers.
