Postcards:
Embark on a picturesque adventure across the stunning regions of France in Postcards. In this fast-paced and strategic game, you will hop on your bike to explore 13 beautiful regions. Your goal is to collect exquisitely illustrated postcards, set up camps to gain powerful bonuses, and cleverly send your cards to score points. The game also includes the Wildlife Wonders expansion, ensuring that every journey offers new and delightful surprises. With its intuitive rules and endless replayability through various itineraries and scoring paths, Postcards is a vibrant journey for the whole family. Will you become the most seasoned traveler?
Yokohama Duel:
The legendary 2-player game from designer Hisashi Hayashi is back and better than ever! Yokohama Duel returns in a stunning new edition, ready to challenge you and your rival in a strategic battle for market supremacy in Meiji-era Japan. This compact yet deeply strategic game is packed with tactical choices and plays in approximately 45 minutes. Featuring brand-new illustrations and improved components, this once-rare gem is now available for all to enjoy. Are you ready to claim business supremacy in Yokohama?
Compile: Main 2
Prepare for a high-stakes race in the digital world of Compile: Main 2. In this standalone expansion, you and your opponent take on the roles of rogue AIs, racing to complete Protocols before the other can. With 12 brand-new Protocols, this expansion takes the fast-paced tactical duel to a whole new level. Games are quick, lasting around 30 minutes, and the endless combinations of Protocols offer immense replayability. You can play Main 2 on its own or combine it with Main 1 for an even deeper and more strategic experience. Will you outthink and outcode your rival?
Frosted Blooms:
From the brilliant design duo Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc comes Frosted Blooms, a beautiful tile-laying game where you compete to create the most harmonious tulip garden. Over ten rounds, you will carefully select and place Landscape tiles, play cards to score patterns, and strategically enclose areas to add Workers, Barns, and Windmills. Completing objectives along the way is key to maximizing your score. The player whose garden is kissed by frost but bursting with the most vibrant colors will claim victory. With its elegant layouts and dynamic scoring, Frosted Blooms is a captivating experience for all.
