After the great success of Dorfromantik: The Board Game, the next part of the Dorfromantik world is no longer about working together, but about friendly competition. The basic principle of the Spiel des Jahres 2023 is retained, but now both sides continue to expand their own landscape with the tile they have just revealed. Two new types of assignments also come into play with double and all-around assignments, which can also be combined with Dorfromantik: The Board Game. Two independently playable modules also provide more challenge, more variety, more interaction. Four of the new special tiles can also be integrated into Dorfromantik: The Board Game and played cooperatively.

Dorfromantik: Das Duell allows two players or two teams to compete. And with two copies even up to four people can play. Who will create the most beautiful world of hexagonal landscapes? Who will be better at fulfilling the villager's orders while also mastering the challenge of new assignments?

Rippling rivers, rustling forests, wheat fields swaying in the wind and here and there a cute little village - that's Dorfromantik! The video game from the small developer studio Toukana Interactive has been thrilling the gaming community since its Early Access in March 2021 and has already won all kinds of prestigious awards. Now Michael Palm and Lukas Zach are transforming the popular building strategy and puzzle game into a family game for young and old with Dorfromantik: Das Brettspiel.

In Dorfromantik: Das Brettspiel, up to six players work together to lay hexagonal tiles to create a beautiful landscape and try to fulfill the orders of the population, while at the same time laying as long a track and as long a river as possible, but also taking into account the flags that provide points in enclosed areas. The better the players manage to do this, the more points they can score at the end. In the course of the replayable campaign, the points earned can be used to unlock new tiles that are hidden in initially locked boxes. These pose new, additional tasks for the players and make it possible to raise the high score higher and higher.

The Royal Banquet, September 1256: Despite the sumptuous dishes, tension fills the air of the great hall. Numerous guests had accepted the invitation to the funeral service for the late queen, and now await the mourning king’s eulogy. After all, he is now without an heir to the throne – and many of those present sense an opportunity for themselves. When the king finally rises, there is a hushed silence. He raises his goblet and lets his keen gaze wander from face to face. “Few of you are here to mourn my beloved wife with me,” the king begins, and takes a sip from the goblet. Suddenly he begins to cough and puts his hand to his throat. He collapses, knocking food from the table. A murmur goes through the crowd as orders are shouted frantically for aid. The king is carried out of the hall in a hurry, and minutes of dismay pass. Then the personal doctor emerges and announces to all, "The king is dead!"

In UNDO – Long Live the King, players learn the rules and encounter the starting situation of the case on the first few cards, which also guide them through the setup. Once the setup is complete, players carry out nine time jumps. Every jump takes them to one independent moment from the past and allows them to change that moment in one of three ways, which may change the starting situation for better or for worse. The players need to discuss what they know and try to come up with theories about the story, using the clues they gather from the different time jumps. Only by continuously adapting their theories and making the right choices will they successfully change fate and save the life of the king.

Goa, India, May 22, 1972: Nervously, a person skims over yesterday's news article: "International expedition disaster in the Himalayas. All 7 members of a mountaineering group are believed to have died during a summit ascent in the Himalayan Mountains. Included were citizens from England and the USA. The disparate group had left..." The person gazes out the train's window, deep in thought. Was this finally the end of days of flight? At the station a colorfully dressed figure greets the individual: "Welcome to Palolem Beach! I'm Jamie." "I'm Alex", the person replies and smiles, because they've always liked that name.

UNDO: Peak of no Return takes you back to this time and this tragedy...

In UNDO, the aim of the game is not to reconstruct a crime or identify a murderer. Instead, the players are incorporeal Weavers of Fate who travel through the past in order to prevent a tragic event from happening. Each time jump comes with a momentous decision, which will ultimately decide if the event will come to pass or not. Will the players be able to change fate and save the missing expedition members?

Time heals all wounds, they say, but the sudden death of a loved one sometimes shakes those who are left behind so much that their faith wavers. To prevent this, the gods send fate weavers to change the past and prevent death. In the game series UNDO, players slip into the role of these destiny weavers and do everything in their power to undo sudden deaths — whether murder or suicide. Not only do they travel minutes or hours back in time, but sometimes thousands of years to change events that have laid the foundation for the later stroke of fate. Sometimes a leap into the future can also provide important information.

The UNDO series combines the theme of time travel with emotional, extraordinary stories that players must assemble piece by piece. Each time jump gives them another choice in how they can change the past — and not every change is a turn for the better!

UNDO: 600 Seconds places you in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. Right now, the main character of this scenario should have been lying on a sun lounger in Hawaii for a week already, cocktail in hand. Instead, he's clutching a pair of pliers with trembling hands, uncertain which wire to cut. Sweat runs into his eyes, adrenaline rushes through his veins. The seconds on the timer of the bomb tick down mercilessly ... 8 ... 7 ... He desperately tries to remember his training with the CIA more than three decades ago ... 6 ... 5 ...

He cuts one wire ... 1 ...

The bookworm thought of something new to test the knowledge of his potential successors: Dice define the letters for which players have to create words. Players can get the dice from the middle or steal them from other players. Theme cards specify the category. A special die causes turbulences as it provides bonus points, minus points or a new theme.

Bookworm: The Dice Game maintains the reliable game principle but the dice cause way more rotation. The cards also can be used for the original Bookworm game.

In each category, you must find fitting words so that you can match a letter card in your hand. Whoever can get rid of all their letter cards first wins the game and the worthy title of successor!

Bookworm: The Card Game increases the challenge of the original Bücherwurm game because now speed is of the essence, challenging you not only to think along certain lines, but to think quickly. The game includes more categories to provide more variety of play, and it includes a number of play variants.

BANG! The Dice Game: Undead or Alive includes five "modules" for BANG! The Dice Game that can be used on their own or combined in any way desired.

This expansion adds eight new enraged gunslingers and two new duel dice for fighting duels. If you lose a duel, you must draw a duel wound token. During your turn, each duel wound token you have cancels one identical symbol rolled on a die that you decided to keep.

The new dice also feature another new symbol: the whiskey bottle. If you roll a whiskey bottle during your turn and you have no duel wound tokens to discard or if you lose two or more life points in one turn, you must draw a rage card; the symbols on those cards are added to the results of the dice!

With four or more players, you can play the "Undead or Alive" module, which adds a deck of boneyard cards. If the boneyard overflows with corpses, a zombie outbreak might begin!

Undo: Cherry Blossom Festival, one of the first three Undo titles, is set in Okayama, Japan in March 2000. A man in his sixties lies lifelessly on the floor of his living room, a broken wine glass and the photo of a young woman in a wheelchair next to him. The deceased wears an old-fashioned blue suit and has no visible injuries aside from a barely perceptible scar above the eye. In his jacket a telephone rings with the melody of "Moonlight Sonata" and on the table lie cherry blossom branches...

This title isn't about solving a crime or catching a murderer. Instead, players must embrace their role as disembodied destiny weavers to go through the past of this man's travel to prevent his death. Everyone who leaps through time carries a momentous decision that in the end will determine whether he lives or dies?

Many centuries ago, legendary smiths forged the Crown of Command, a magical artefact of immense power. Whoever wears the Crown of Command will hold power over all of the land.

Decades ago, a powerful wizard sealed the Crown of Command behind the Portal of Power to prevent evil forces from obtaining it. Only those who possess one of the legendary Talismans may pass through this Portal to reach the Crown. Over the years, five of the Talismans have disappeared. Enemy forces now seek to find them in order to seize the Crown of Command for themselves. Brave heroes that you are, you have banded together to go on a quest to retrieve all five Talismans and thereby stop the evil power behind these enemy forces from ruling the world. This task won't be easy as finding each Talisman is an epic adventure in itself. However, if you work together using everyone's abilities and helping one another when you can, you will surely succeed.

In Talisman: Legendary Tales, the players must work together as an adventure party to recover the five legendary Talismans that have been lost. During each adventure, the party endeavors to recover one of the lost Talismans. The adventures must be played in order. You may repeat adventures, and you may play one or more adventures in a game session.

Over the course of this story, you will travel across a wondrous land and have exciting adventures in which you must make important decisions and defend yourself against cruel enemies. As an adventure party, you succeed in each adventure once you have completed the final task and have recovered the Talisman. Be careful: You have only a limited amount of time!

For an unknown reason, the undead had chosen to concentrate their attacks on Carolan, trying to drag him into their cold grave. "Just do something already!", the half-elf shouted at his comrades, while dodging attacks left and right with growing boldness. Despite his skills, he received multiple hard strikes nonetheless, his quilted tunic torn to shreds. Then he heard Arbosch roaring triumphantly. The dwarf took a last swig from his jug of beer before raising his spiked mace up high: "In the name of my ancestors, now we can begin!" With a loud crack, the terrible weapon smacked down on the first skeleton, bursting into a cloud of bone dust.

Based on the first novel of the Die Zwerge tetralogy [Eng. The Dwarves] by author Markus Heitz, the goal of the cooperative game Die Zwerge is to keep evil from flooding Girdlegard. During set-up, players choose one of the dwarves from the novel, each of which is equipped with a unique special ability and different stats for fighting, crafting, and movement.

Before each player's turn, the forces of evil usually break through one of the four big gates – which are guarded by different dwarven tribes – and further the spread of the Perished Land. On his turn a player spends two action points to use two of five actions. He can:

Fight against the advancing enemies (orcs, trolls, and älfar [Ger. albae], i.e. dark elves).
Travel to other locations.
Lobby the dwarven council to give advantages to all players – and without the favor of the dwarven council, everyone suffers disadvantages.
Solve a minor quest for rewards.
Take on the current major quest, revealing the next major quest if successful. Completing these quests is the only way to win the game.

For most of these actions, a player must succeed in a dice-driven challenge. If the players cannot control the flood of evil while simultaneously solving the major quests in time, they will lose.
