On the Deep Space 9 station, Ferengi wheel and deal legal and illegal items in order to accrue the most profit because as you know, a Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all (Rule of Acquisition #18).

In Star Trek: Galactic Enterprises, 3 to 8 Ferengi buy and sell their wares, trying to monopolize a particular item for greater profit. However, once other Ferengi get those same items for sale, it becomes a matter of negotiation: Do you work together to gain the same profit, or do you agree to cooperate, then sell at a lower price to steal all the profit for yourself? After all, opportunity, plus instinct, equals profit (Rule of Acquisition #9).

Be wary of special action cards that can mess with the business of other Ferengi. The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife (Rule of Acquisition #48). The Ferengi who has earned the most profit becomes the First Clerk!

In Living Planet, each player represents one major Galactic Corporation exploiting the distant planet MYC.14.250. Each one of them is eager to industrialize the planet and generate as much profit as possible before the planet self-destructs.

To do so, you'll have to explore the planet to grow the map. You'll manage your team to extract resources with factory buildings you've built, and trade resources at the stock market to make money. And above anything else, you'll have to handle cataclysms generated by the planet. But cataclysms don't happen randomly, players trigger them through their actions, using their card set. Confrontation between players will take place through the planet.

Players will alternately take the leader role for each turn. Each turn follows a specific game turn sequence. Every player will have some actions to accomplish at a turn, in the order the Leader chooses, resolving the sequence : Resources production - Action (Explore, Move, Construct, Trade…) - Cataclysms.

At the end of the game each player will earn victory points based on how much money they have and how many buildings and vehicles they control.

Based on the popular "spot the differences" challenges found in books, newspapers and elsewhere, Difference Junior challenges your abilities to observe and react quickly. The deck includes two sets of double-sided cards, with one set being more challenging than the other. Place one card in the center of the table, then deal the rest out to players as evenly as possible.

To start, each player looks at the top card of their stack, then tries to spot the two differences between their card in hand and the reference card on the table. Whoever spots their particular differences first stops play, demonstrates them to everyone, places their card on top of the reference card (creating a new challenge for everyone), then draws the next card from their deck. Whoever gets rid of all of their cards first wins!

Note: This item is in French

An expansion in the Dungeon Twister series of games. As all expansion, it can be played as a stand-alone game (if you know the rules from the basic game, available on the game website and you have a set of card). You can also combine it with the basic game and other expansions in order to have a different set of team and room each time you play.

This particular expansion is focused on giving characters muscles. Most of them move slower than typical characters, but they are among the very strongest and most diverse characters in their combat abilities.

Archipelago: Solo Expansion
Archipelago: War & Peace


In Archipelago, players are Renaissance European powers competing in the exploration of a Pacific or Caribbean archipelago. They will explore territories, harvest resources, use those resources in markets both internal (for their use and that of the natives) and foreign (to sell it in Europe), build markets, harbors, cities and temples, and negotiate among themselves (and maybe betray each other) – all this to complete their secret objectives. They will also need to guess the secret objective of the other players to be able to benefit from them.

But players also need to be careful of the natives; if they make them too unhappy or if too many of them are unoccupied, they could revolt and declare independence. Then everyone will lose.

According to the author, what he's tried to create is a "German" economic worker-placement game, but without the two things he dislikes in them: the superficial theme and the lack of interaction. Indeed this game includes a very present theme and a lot of negotiation and potential backstabbing.

The game includes three sets of objectives, enabling players to choose between a short, medium and long game; a solo option will also be included.

Description
ILLEGAL is a crazy, offbeat party game for 5 to 9 players where participants each take on the role of an illegal dealer. The game is accessible to casual as well as expert gamers, and has a mature theme. The rules of ILLEGAL are simple, but the game will challenge your skills in negotiation, misdirection, discretion, charisma, and persuasion. The more you play, the more you will learn to expand and master these skills. Each game lasts about half an hour, and is packed with intense exchanges, interactions and a lot of humour.

Launch into this risqué adventure! Dare to become one of these offbeat dealers and get a good laugh with your friends.

How to Play

ILLEGAL is played in two phases:

During the first phase, each player receives a deck of cards prepared by the Game Master (GM). These decks assign each player his dealer role and gives him a good quantity of the corresponding resources. Each player's deck also specifies his buyer role, and he will make every effort during the game to get as many resources as possible of the type he is interested in. These roles are kept secret until the end of the game.

Players leave the table and split up into continually changing pairs or groups to negotiate and exchange some of their resources, away from prying eyes. Every three minutes, they return to the table to collect new resources at the docks (from the GM). Then they go again for another three minutes of secret dealing.

The second phase, called the Tribunal phase, starts once the players have returned to the table and the GM has run out of resources.

At the tribunal, players play the roles of jury members, witnesses, suspects and judges! They openly discuss their suspicions concerning the secret roles assigned to every other player. The GM reveals the suspect cards in pairs representing the dealer and buyer roles assigned to the various players. For each card pair, players have one minute to debate. After one minute, a simultaneous vote is cast, and a suspect is formally accused.

Scoring

At the end of the game, each player reveals his role pair and acquired resources. He scores one victory point for each resource acquired corresponding to his buyer role, one point for each suspect card accusing him wrongly, thus rewarding him for his skills in misdirection and discretion, but he loses 5 points for each suspect card accurately accusing him, representing 5 years spent in prison. It is very easy to end the game with a 10-year jail sentence if you are insufficiently discreet or are too greedy!

Four Gods is a real-time tile-laying game in which players create a world — one tile at a time — before laying claim to one of the four gods of their world and attempting to win followers by sending prophets into that world.

In more detail, players sit outside of a cardboard frame that represents the limits of the world. Each player starts with two randomly-drawn tiles in hand, with each double-sided tile depicting 1-3 types of landscape out of the four types present in the world.

When play begins, each player simultaneously starts laying tiles into the frame; each tile must be adjacent to two sides to be placed, so initially tiles can be placed only in the corners of the frames, with players building inward from there. Players can place tiles anywhere that they can legally be placed (two sides are adjacent to the frame or previously placed tiles and all landscapes match across tile borders.

Instead of placing a tile, a player can place it in their personal discard area, which can hold at most ten tiles. When a player has both hands free, they can draw two new tiles from the bag; alternatively, any player with a free hand can pick up any tile in any discard area and place it in the world.

At any point during the game, a player can claim one of four gods and that god's followers. Each god is associated with a particular type of landscape, e.g., the merfolk god. Once a player has followers, they can place a prophet on a tile they just placed to claim that section of landscape. Players can place any number of prophets in a landscape as long as they're placing each prophet on a tile they just added to the world.

At any point in the game, if a player thinks that a section of the board cannot be filled with a tile — e.g., a space that's surrounded by four types of landscapes — that player can place a round city marker in that space. Anyone can then claim that city with a prophet. If a matching tile is found later, a player can "smash" and claim that city, replacing it with the tile.

Once the world is filled or players agree that no more tiles can be placed, the game ends. Each player scores five points for each city occupied or smashed. Each landscape with one or more prophets is worth a number of points to the player(s) with the most prophets in it equal to the number of tiles in that landscape minus the number of prophets in it. The landscape with the largest mass rewards its god with a large bonus, with the second and third largest masses rewarding their gods with smaller bonuses; similarly, the landscape that appears in the most distinct groups rewards its god with a large bonus, with the second and third largest groups again rewarding their gods with smaller bonuses.

Whichever god has scored the most points wins!

After decades of exploration, disputes arise among the colonizing European nations over the discovered lands, resources and trade routes. Old-continent quarrels become new again in the colonies. At times, precarious moments of peace are maintained — until wars erupt again. Human greed is an eternal source of conflicts...

Archipelago: War & Peace introduces forty new beautifully- and individually-illustrated evolution cards: twenty character and twenty progress cards. These cards — which can be combined with the base game or used as a complete replacement — are more aggressive, interactive and (sometimes) drastic than the original ones, covering the major themes of war, peace, and trade, among others.

With Archipelago: War & Peace, you can add spice to your games and make Archipelago new again!

After 500 years, two factions emerge from their underground cities into a new world, an Earth reborn from nuclear disaster.

12 highly detailed miniatures represent the two factions which are:

NORAD: military in thinking and origins. Scientists, engineers, add to their strength.

SALEMITES: occultists working with cadavers, bringing the dead to life.

Soon after emerging, these two factions meet - and it is determined that they cannot live together in peace.

Earth Reborn offers nine scenarios that take you through missions of rescue, retrieval, and escort through areas of labs, mansions, towns, and more. Each scenario builds upon the rules of a new chapter: the game system is built like a tutorial. There are core rules to start the game, and each chapter offers 1-3 new rules along with a scenario that uses these new rules.

The game also contains the innovative S.A.G.S. (Scenario Auto Generating System), where 2-4 players can make their own maps and mission objectives for near infinite replayability!

Other features include:

  1. A Tetris-like board construction using polyomino floor tiles.
  2. An order tiles system to give commands to your miniatures.
  3. Interrupt Duels with Bluff, betting command points to interrupt an enemy character and act during another player's turn.
  4. The I.P.S. (Iconographic Phrasing System) that allows almost any effect to occur with icons, totally language independent.
  5. Colored base arcs on miniatures to simplify Line of Sight, shooting, and close combat. It also multiplies characters’ variations and possibilities.
  6. The Search rule, giving a visceral feeling to searching in rooms to find equipment.
  7. A Mission Points track that also serves as a Morale Points track.
  8. Radio Scrambling to mess with your opponents' orders.

Dungeon Twister: The Card Game is a two-player-only take on Dungeon Twister with the entire game converted into cards. As in the original game, players in Dungeon Twister: The Card Game build a team from the characters and objects available to them, then head into the maze to try to navigate the hazards by using their action points each turn to move, rotate rooms, collect items, and combat opponents, making their way to the opposite side of the maze while avoiding – or taking out – the opponent's characters along the way.

Before starting the game, players choose a scenario card that details the number of rooms in the maze and the number of characters and objects each player uses. With the scenario cards, players can learn the game progressively, starting with the easiest scenario – which uses 2x2 rooms and starts each player with two characters and two objects – and moving into more difficult scenarios from there.
