It's a little-known fact that ghosts love to eat candy. But they can only eat it one night a year...Halloween! On that night, the ghosts travel through the neighborhood looking for delicious candy. Using their best scare tactics, ghosts will haunt the costumed kiddos to steal their sweet sweet candy. But they have to be careful not to scare them away. Ghosts just want a candy delight, not to cause them a fright.

This new edition expands upon the original version with more kids (100 total!), a new "junk" set of treats that you do not want to collect (like toothbrushes, rocks, ketchup packets, pennies, etc.) and new ghosts.

Playing the game is easy. Select one of your ghost cards to bid for turn order. Then resolve by choosing a kid to haunt, taking their candy then using their unique ability. Treats score at the end of the game based on your ghosts specific preferences.

Note: Ghosts Love Candy Too is a revised and expanded new version of Ghosts Love Candy, released by Steve Jackson games in 2016.

Wind whistling, bees buzzing, rivers rolling along: the sounds of the great outdoors are everywhere. This open countryside is unspoiled by human hands, and it’s your job to keep it that way. Make sure the tourists and campers have somewhere to go, but don’t let their presence distract you from what really matters.

In Naturopolis, 1-4 players work together to build a new landscape. Using only 18 cards and a variable scoring system, the game is never the same twice.

First, players will randomly flip over 3 cards to see the scoring rules for the game. But not only do these 3 cards determine how you will score this game, they also determine how you win. Total up the values of all three cards, and that number is the scorethat you need to reach in order to win. Each game has drastically different scoring rules in unique combinations, and a new score to beat, ranging from 6 to 51 points.

Each turn, players will play one card from their hand to the growing landscape, trying to score as many points as possible. Players will have to communicate and plan without revealing their own cards in order to most efficiently develop large areas in each of the 4 zone types. Watch out though, road maintenance isn't cheap and each road will cost you points in the end. This is doubly true with Naturopolis’ double-lined roads as they will cost you -2 points each!

New to Naturopolis are the rivers, which occupy space the same way as roads but don’t hurt your score. (But roads and rivers cannot connect!) It also adds camp sites, which score based on certain goals.

When all cards have been placed, the game ends and players see if they have met the dynamically generated minimum score for their game.

Can you work with your team to make the most of these natural wonders while still leaving space for tourists, campers, and other visitors? It’s time to find out!

Naturopolis is the 3rd game in our series of standalone and combinable Sprawlopolis games. It brings mountains, lakes, forests and meadow blocks to the game, with the added bonus of campsites (which trigger scoring conditions), rivers (which also trigger scoring conditions and cannot connect to roads) and double line roads (which are worth -2 points each as disrupting nature is very costly!)

If you've played the original Sprawlopolis, these are nice mirrors to Wrecktar and Points of Interest, bringing a new twist to the Wrecktar mechanic. Invasion messes with your game a bit, while Points of Interest helps you by giving you an extra card to start off with that gives you a bonus point for each matching block surrounding the Point of Interest.

The Sundials mini-expansion offers two new ways to score your koi ponds.

The first is the "Sundials" scoring, which gives each player a sundial with N, S, W, and E directions. The sundial is a feature for your garden and each player is dealt 4 cards to place around it. Each player will score bonus points for correctly positioning koi and/or features in their pond according to the relative direction of their sundial cards. This expansion includes 4 sundials and 13 sundial cards.

The second is the "Hidden Objectives" scoring. Each player will be dealt 2 cards and will keep 1 of them. The chosen card is kept secret from other players and will be revealed at the end of the game. Points earned from the hidden card will be added to the score from your pond. This expansion includes 12 cards.

From clucking chickens to rumbling tractors, the sounds of a bustling farm are everywhere. It's up to your team of planners to turn this little farm into a flourishing ranching community!

Having developed dream cities in Sprawlopolis, it's now time to set your sights on the rolling countryside, where farm, ranches, and roads intermingle master plan, as ever, seems just out of reach.

Agropolis is a stand-alone expansion to Sprawlopolis, bringing the same card-laying, variable-scoring gameplay into a new setting: city blocks give way to orchards, wheat fields, livestock pens, and vineyards. As before, players draw three goal cards and then attempt to place cards one at a time to create a rural tableau that best satisfies those goals. New gameplay features help offset overly-powerful scoring combos and layer additional attributes onto certain types of terrain, providing even greater depth of gameplay without sacrificing the original's signature elegance.

Agropolis can be played entirely on its own, but it can also combined with Sprawlopolis using special rules and goal cards provided in the Combopolis mini-expansion.

With your team's careful guidance, the city and the countryside are expanding and converging. With everything growing at a breakneck pace, you are now tasked with managing the entire region!

A 6-card combo pack that allows you to combine Agropolis and Sprawlopolis.

Unlike the original rules for both standalone games, this variant eliminates the use of card-passing. Rather, players shuffle each game deck individually, flipping a single card from each to reveal 2 scoring conditions. Then, a 3rd card is drawn at random from the 6-card combo pack to reveal the 3rd and final scoring condition. A separate card from this pack is used as the starting tile, displaying 2 "blocks" from those terrains included in each game respectively.

On a player's turn, they draw 1 card from each game deck and must choose 1 to play and 1 to discard. In this way, both game decks with run out at the same rate. End game occurs after the last 2 cards are drawn and played/discarded.

Players score for the largest 2 block groups from each game, lose points for individual roads, and score/lose points according to the 3 scoring condition cards.

Kohaku is a peaceful koi-pond-building, tile-laying game. Each turn, players will draft both a Koi and Feature tile from the central pond board to place into their personal koi pond.

Score points by surrounding flowers with koi containing matching colors, placing frogs next to koi tiles that have dragonflies, and ensuring that baby koi have a safe place to hide by placing them near rocks.

Butterflies score based on line of sight, so make sure to line them up with similar-colored koi. Turtles and statues bring a sense of balance to your pond and score points more easily, but sometimes aren’t as valuable as some of the other features.

You must carefully plan the placement of your tiles, because once they are in your pond, they can’t be moved! With no restrictions on the shape of your pond, you can build a unique layout to maximize your koi pond’s appeal.

After there are no koi tiles available to refill the central pond board, the game ends. Players will total the points scored by each feature in their pond. The player with the most points wins.

The city has been divided in two by a massive Interstate highway. Zoning rules don't allow you to cross the Interstate, so you must work with what you've got... a smaller, more competitive Sprawlopolis!

This 5-card expansion to the popular game Sprawlopolis adds a 4-card Interstate highway that divides your city into two halves (each time you play, 4 cards are used to build the interstate, and 1 chosen at random is added as a scoring card to 2 scoring cards chosen from the base game). Play options includes 2-player cooperative, 2-player competitive, and Solo. No matter which mode you are playing, players may only play on their own side of the Interstate (in solo, each turn you alternate which side you play on).

Story: Ghosts Love Candy—everyone knows that! The cruel twist is that they no longer have the physical bodies to enjoy the scrumptious candy they crave. But, on Halloween, the rules are off. Ghosts use this mystical and eerie night to temporarily possess unsuspecting Trick-or-Treaters so they can indulge in as much candy as they can get their invisible hands on …

Object: Use your team of ghosts to possess Trick-or-Treaters and gobble up the candy you crave. The player whose ghosts earn them the most candy points after 8 rounds wins. But be careful! When a Trick-or-Treater eats too much candy they get sick and become your burden if you were the one to push them past their candy limit.

Game End: The game is over when there is no more candy left to hand out, which is 8 rounds with 2-4 players and 6 rounds with 5-6.

In Mob Town, 2-4 players take on the role of Mob Families vying for control of unique towns that build differently every time you play.

Of course you can’t control this town on your own (you wouldn't want to get your hands dirty after all) so enlist the help of some shady shysters any fan of the Mob genre would recognize: blue tinted Sharks, bolo-wearing Snakes, conniving Weasels, foxy Foxes and of course no good dirty Rats!

Expand your empire and defend your turf until The Law shows up to spoil all the fun. Scramble to add up points you’ve earned for each property you own, then pack up and get your tail out of town and on to the next one. After you and your “friends” compete over, the game is over and the player with the most points is declared the new boss of Mob Town!
