ISLEBOUND: METROPOLIS (EXPANSION)
An expansion pack of 40 new building cards, and 2 new Reputation cards.

Only three cards are available to purchase, and they require you to have one, two, or three books (depending on where they are in the row). You also must have one normal building for every Metropolis building you own. Because they're a little harder to get, each Metropolis card is worth +1 renown.

Players: 2 – 4
Play Time: 60 – 120 Minutes
Suitable for ages 13 & up
This is an expansion for Islebound. The core game is required for play.

BABA YAGA
Many Russian tales speak of the character of Baba Yaga, the ogress witch who lives in a house with chicken legs. Fortunately for them, children always find unexpected allies and manage to escape her. Will you prove as fortunate?
In Baba Yaga, you need to escape the claws of the hideous Baba Yaga. To do so, however, you need to collect the ingredients for your three spell cards, and to do that you need to search the forest while Baba Yaga searches for you.
To set up the game, place nine Baba Yaga tiles in a cross to form a flight path, then place the 16 ingredient tokens face down, with four tokens in each section of the cross. Each player starts the game with three spell cards, which must remain hidden. On a turn, the active player reveals her top spell card, which shows four ingredients, then starts searching for these ingredients in the forest, turning over tiles one by one with a single hand and hiding those she doesn't need. While she does this, the other players take turns moving the Baba Yaga figurine one step at a time along one branch of the flight path, then back. If Baba Yaga completes a circuit before the player finds the ingredients, she must place her spell card on the bottom of her stack; if she finds the ingredients, however, she gets to cast the spell on the card, lengthening or shortening the flight path, swapping the location of ingredients, requiring fewer ingredients next time, forcing an opponent to play in a distorted position, and so on. The first player to complete her three spells wins!
Baba Yaga includes variants for younger players, more experienced players, and those who want the chicken-legged house to be constantly on the move. In the two-player game, the single opponent does all the moving of Baba Yaga, but must swap hands with each move, keeping the inactive hand on her head.

GLIMSTONE GRAB!
Every man, woman, and beast is after the magical Glimstones in this cooperative game Glimstone Grab is set in the magical universe of our bestselling game, Hoard. Esmeralda and her friend, Wizard Widdershins, must save the town of Much Middling from a clutch of rapacious trolls who have settled into a clearing in the forest, where they are helping themselves not just to the gems, but the local children!
Players take turns revealing and actioning event cards, then using movement cards to circle the two heroes around the forest, collecting gems. When they meet up, if they have the right gems between them, they can perform a spell and banish a troll. Banish all the trolls to win, but keep an eye on the children. If they are all captured at the end of anyone's turn, the players lose. Thankfully, the magic of the Glimstones can be harnessed to rescue children, but this does take gems out of circulation. It is also possible to lose if there are no meeting places left.
The game can be set up for a beginner, intermediate, or hard game, but players can also make their own custom setting by selecting event cards to use and changing other variables.

MISSISSIPPI QUEEN
In Mississippi Queen, players race their paddle wheelers down the Mississippi, picking up passengers along the way. But onboard coal supplies are limited, so each ship's acceleration and maneuvers must be carefully planned. The twists and turns of the river are unknown at the start of the game and are revealed only as ships progress downstream, so captains need to be alert at the wheel and ready to change course.
This version of Mississippi Queen includes the original base game that won the 1997 Spiel des Jahres as well as The Black Rose expansion that increased the player count to six and included the "Black Rose", a black paddle wheeler controlled by whichever player is currently in last place. This boat does not require any coal and can be used to hamper opponents in the lead.
The game has basic rules that more or less reflect gameplay in the original game, along with advanced rules that introduce elements such as floating logs and sand bars that were included in The Black Rose expansion.
