You need an eye for space and carrying capacity to assess whether a donkey full of luggage is strong enough to walk the steep route of the Grand Canyon. Your job is to properly estimate the loads, use employee favors at the right time and reject contracts if you are not confident. Each round starts with turning over the top donkey card from the draw pile. Each donkey has a specific maximum capacity. It will then be announced what the maximum carrying capacity of this donkey is and whether there are any specific conditions. Then all players play a charge card face down with which they charge the donkey. Did players call in favors from employees? They now reveal charge cards so that they can use these special employee actions. After declaring the favors, players indicate one by one whether they think the total load played by all players is more or less than the maximum carrying capacity of the donkey. Finally, the charge cards of all players are turned over and it is known which players have made the correct assessment. The player who got it right receives their reward and the donkey for the next round is turned over.

Your goal in Rival Restaurants is to be the first restaurant to reach 20 popularity points and be crowned "The Wiener!" Players earn popularity points by buying and trading ingredients and using them to "cook" (complete) recipes. The more advanced the recipe, the more points it is worth. Each day, players go through three phases. Players collect their income for the day and decide where they want to go. Turn economy is crucial because players are not allowed to move for the rest of the day once their location is chosen. After that, players have one minute to purchase as much as they want, but only from the location they are in. Players can also trade/swap with anyone in the game, not just the people in their location. Finally, any player who has all the ingredients needed for their recipe can cook it and collect popularity points. Additionally, each player controls a chef equipped with their own "chef power". Chef powers are asymmetrical and allow players to bend the rules to their advantage. The base game of Rival Restaurants features twelve chefs and in addition each player must choose a restaurant to play at at the start of the game, with each restaurant having a unique level-up structure with rewards for reaching 3, 7 and 12 popularity points . Finally, players can also choose to purchase "action cards", that is, development cards that are usually single-use.

To swap cards or not: take another player's character card along with yours, put them under the table, shuffle them a bit, and then give a card back to the other player while keeping one for yourself.

You are one of the few brave enough to enter this exciting but dangerous new land to research and record new species. The world is watching to see the discoveries that will be shown. The media has dubbed you and your comrades the "Darwinauts" because you dare to go further to document the new origins of species. You must work quickly to bring back notes of the most exotic lifeforms to secure your place in history, but be careful: the portal is unstable and won't stay open for long... The Rift is coming! During Darwinauts, a player performs two actions during their turn, choosing from five possible actions: placing an explorer, placing a tile, replenishing tiles and removing explorers, discovering a species, and registering a species. When registering a species, a player immediately takes one of five possible bonus actions that allow the player to prepare themselves for future turns or change the landscape. Players continue to take turns until The Rift tile is revealed, making the portal to the new world unstable. Once The Rift begins, players add an extra phase to their turns and take part in dismantling the landscape they've opened up for exploration. When the game ends, players receive prestige points for their registered species and bonuses are earned for specializing in specific sets of species. The Darwinaut with the most points wins the game and goes down in history as a pioneer in this new era of discovery.

Deal with the Devil is a thematically competitive Eurogame set in a fantasy medieval era. Each of the four players takes on a secret role of a mortal, a cult, or even the devil. Due to the asymmetrical roles, players experience the same game but with different game objectives in each game. During the trading phase, players can offer their resources in exchange for money from another player. The devil will tempt mortals with goods for a piece of their soul, while the nature of the cult is to sell their souls easily. Only the accompanying app knows who is trading with whom. But watch out! Showing off how well you're doing can attract unwanted attention and the suspicion of other players. It may also pique the interest of the Inquisition, who are eager to punish those who cannot prove that their souls remain intact. There are many dynamic strategies to experiment with in each game. Do you sell pieces of your soul early on to increase your urban planning skills at the risk of future punishment from the Inquisition? Or do you carefully manage loan and debt repayments while waiting for others to inadvertently reveal their nefarious nature? Every choice has a consequence and every role has its own unique strategic approach to explore.

In One Card Wonder, each player receives a card with a wonder of the world and a series of supporting buildings. The multiple stages of the wonder must be built from the ground up, while the buildings can be constructed in any order. Players have four meeples and a personal stock of resources, and there is also a general stock of resources. The supply bag with resources is passed from player to player to indicate who the active player is. During a turn you perform one of four actions. You may draw three cubes from the fabric supply bag, add two to your personal supply and place the others in the general supply. You may take all resources of one type from the general supply. (You may only have eight resources in your supply at a time, so if you have more than eight resources after drawing or taking, you must return some to the general supply.) You may build a level of the wonder or a building by paying from your stock; your workers mark individual buildings as you build them, unlocking skills. Finally, you may sell pairs of matching goods to the supply in exchange for coins. Coins can be used as a wild resource, but they also appear at the cost of some miracles. Resources sold or used to build are returned to the supply bag. In games with four or more players, players may also trade. Trading is done off-turn, that is, it can involve anyone except the active player. You may freely negotiate and trade with other players, but you must stop negotiating once you receive the supply bag and become the active player. The longer you spend on your turn, the more chance your opponents have to make deals.

In Thornmar Abbey, an ancient order of holy knights watches over a sealed portal to the underworld. The knights must protect the elders - ancient sages who support the seal. After decades of peace, the seal has weakened and demons are emerging from the rift. The demons try to fight their way past the brave knights and kill enough elders to completely break the seal before dawn. Imbued with the power of the gods, only these brave knights stand a chance to protect the elders and prevent an army of monsters from flooding into the world. Knight Fall is an asymmetrical team game for one to six players. One team controls the knights, who must protect the elders and resist the demons until dawn. The other team controls the demons, who try to break the seal to the underworld before morning. Throughout the game, you choose a unique knight or demon, each with a variety of special powers, such as the Flame Knight's ability to surround his enemies with fire, or the Bone Crusher's power to summon skeletal minions. The cards you play from your hand to perform actions can each be used in different ways, and with a set of unique location tiles you can create the monastery with a different layout each game. Knight Fall also has a campaign mode for one to two players. In this mode, you read stories as you explore the map of a haunted valley and draw your path as you travel. Wander through crumbling churches, a sinister forest and a dark mountain to stop the demons before the final battle at Thornmar Abbey. You must do what you can to keep your knights alive; the death of each knight means one less hero to fight the invading demons in the final battle!
