LEAGUE OF THE LEXICON

League of the Lexicon is a word game for language lovers, pedants and the incurably curious.
The game comprises two thousand questions in five categories; from etymology to definitions, word usage to archaic meanings. A dice roll decides what category players must answer. Correct answers earn Artefacts, and the correct Artefacts earn victory.
The game has two levels of difficulty so younger players can join in too.
With stunning hand-drawn artwork and carefully researched questions, League of the Lexicon is a language lovers dream.

KUTNA HORA - THE CITY OF SILVER

Join other ambitious guild leaders in mining and developing the famous City of Silver during its period of rapid economic growth and expansion in the 14th century — from the first discovery of silver near the Cistercian monastery to the construction of Kutná Hora, which quickly became one of the most important cities in central Europe. Kutná Hora: The City of Silver is a historical city-building Eurogame for 2-4 players that features a real-life supply and demand experience in which every action you take has an impact on the game's dynamic economic systems. In each round, players take turns selecting actions from a hand of double-sided cards to engage strategic plans like mining, purchasing plots of land on which to build, gaining permits, raising buildings for their affiliated guilds, gaining profit from their production, and of course working towards the construction of Saint Barbara's Cathedral. The asymmetrical nature of each player's available guilds makes for highly interactive rounds in which each decision impacts the economy and other players in interesting ways as they expand their mines and build infrastructure across a shared board. Mine ore and smelt it into a fortune of silver for expanding this beautiful historic city, but take care to balance your personal goal advancement with the need to further the city's growth. Everything is connected, and sometimes the path to personal victory relies on the prosperity of the many.   Players: 2-4 Ages: 13+ Playing Time: 60-120 Mins

However, now, the island has been “discovered” by invaders from a far-off land.

As Spirits, you must grow in power and work together to drive the invaders from your island… before it’s too late! 1-4 players2 hours playing timeAges 12 to adult
