Japan, 1761: Harima Province. Daimyo Sakai Tadazumi is one of the top advisors to the Tokugawa Shogunate, which rules the Himeji Castle region. It is therefore in the interest of the various local tribes to be seen in a good light by the Sakai tribe. To gain influence, they must get members of their family at every level within the White Castle. In The White Castle you take on the role of a leader of a small tribe. You fight for the position and future of your tribe in the court of the White Heron. Cunning and precise resource management and housing relatives within Himeji Castle are the key to victory! On his turn, he chooses a die from one of the three bridges and places it on the game board or his own tableau. The value of the die he covers with this determines whether he has to pay money for it or receives it. For choosing a low die you get a bonus, which becomes increasingly attractive as the game progresses. Then you perform the actions associated with the field in question. The different areas, such as the spring, the training grounds and the castle, offer different options for action. You can receive coins, daimyo seals and resources, but also install gardeners or have tribe members climb the social ladder within the castle as courtiers until they perhaps reach the daimyo's floor. You will score some points during the game, but it is mainly about the situation at the end. Then your courtiers earn points in different ways. Because the dice on the bridges and the dice tiles on the game board are always rolled and placed randomly, the starting position is different every game. The same applies to the promotions available in the different places. As a result, The White Castle of Himeji always remains surprising and challenging.

The construction of St. Basil's Cathedral is progressing steadily. The time has come to seek out the best specialists from each guild and apply their skills and knowledge to turn this monument into something that will amaze even the Tsar. It is necessary to send contractors to the farthest corners of Russia to stand out from the competition and achieve victory. Contractors is the first expansion of The Red Cathedral, the hit game from Shei Santos and Isra Cendrero in which players build Moscow's St. Basil's Cathedral and compete to make the most memorable contribution and win the Tsar's favor. The expansion is also illustrated by Pedro Soto and Chema Román, two artists inspired by the work of Ivan Bilbin, the Russian artist known for his majestic representation of Slavic folklore in his works. The Red Cathedral stands out among recent games for its original rondel mechanism and has captured the hearts of thousands of players around the world. The expansion comes in a box with almost as much content as the original game and takes the experience to another dimension.

Many of these new guilds use the Contractors module, which includes a new board with a map of Russia. You will send the contractors throughout Russia to recruit the talent of the country's best specialists and craftsmen to help build the cathedral. As in the original game, each of these guilds contain 3 different maps, one of which can be included in the game per guild, meaning Contractors offers 30 new ways to play The Red Cathedral. Some other highlights include a black die that can be used in addition to the 5 existing dice to obtain resources, diamonds that serve as a wild-card form of resource, and the contractors, which are Kozak meeples that add an element of worker placement to the add game.

Try to build as many houses as possible, but keep in mind which houses in your hand can be built at the end. In Town 77, each player has a hand of tiles, with each tile showing one of the seven house styles in one of the seven colors/patterns. (The color/pattern of a tile is also visible on the back.) The game contains a total of 49 tiles, one for each possible combination. Each player starts with a random hand of tiles. The first player places a tile in the top left corner of an imaginary 7x7 square. Then each player adds a tile in his turn to a row or column in this square, as long as this tile is adjacent to at least one other tile and the color/house style is not yet present in this row and column. After playing a tile, a player can choose whether or not to draw a new tile. Once you reduce your hand size, you cannot increase it anymore.

In a Grove is a bluffing and deduction game where the player who makes too many false accusations loses the game. The game is played in rounds. Each round, each player receives one of eight silhouettes (numbered 2-8 with one empty), while three silhouettes are placed as suspects in the center of the table and the last silhouette is designated as the victim. You must determine which suspect is the guilty one, either to accuse him or to lure other players into accusing someone who is innocent! All players secretly look at their silhouettes, then pass them to the right and look at the new silhouette they received. The first player of the round secretly looks at two of the three suspects and, if desired, exchanges the victim for one of these suspects. This player then places a colored accusation marker under one of the suspects. The next player looks at the two suspects not marked with an accusation marker, then places their own colored accusation marker, covering any markers already under that suspect. This continues until all four players have placed an accusation marker, with each player not allowed to look at the suspect just accused. The round ends and players reveal the suspects. Who is to blame? The suspect with the highest number - unless the #5 is among the suspects, in which case the suspect with the lowest number is guilty. (The suspect without a number is always innocent.) Anyone who accused the correct suspect gets their charge marker back. Any misplaced markers are turned over with the colored side down and given to the player holding the top marker of the pile. At the end of a turn, if a player has eight or more markers - or has no markers - the game ends and that player loses.

"A party game for terrible people." The game begins with a judge, known as the "Card Czaar", who chooses a black question or fill-in card from the top of the deck and shows it to all players. Each player has a hand of ten white answer cards at the start of each round and deals one card (sometimes two) face down to the Card Czar, representing their answer to the question on the card. The Card Czaar determines which answer card(s) are the funniest in the context of the question or fill-in card. The player who submitted the chosen card(s) is given the Question Card to represent an "Awesome Point", and then the player to the left of the new Card Czaar becomes the new Czaar for the next round. The game continues until the players decide to stop, at which point the player with the most Awesome Points is the winner. So far it sounds like the popular and fairly harmless game "Apples to Apples". Although the games are similar, the humor required is very different. The game encourages players to joke about virtually any uncomfortable or taboo topic, including race, religion, gender, poverty, torture, alcoholism, drugs, sex (yes, really), abortion, child abuse, celebrities, and those everyday little annoyances like “expecting a burp and vomiting on the floor.” Plus, there are a few extra rules. First, some question cards are "Pick 2" or cards, where each participant must submit two cards in order to complete their answer. Secondly, there is also a gambling component. If a question is played that a player thinks has two possible winning answers, he can wager an Awesome Point to play a single second answer. If the betting player wins, he keeps the point wagered, but if he loses, the player who contributed the winning answer takes both points.

Cascadito is the smaller counterpart of the large board game, Cascadero, designed by Reiner Knizia. Each player receives their own sheet of paper and a pencil. 6 dice are rolled and players take turns choosing a die to fill in a space on their card. The dice show 5 colors, representing the 5 types of cities on the map. When a colored die is chosen, the player fills in a space adjacent to a city of the same color. By reaching cities with groups of filled spaces, players will activate city points. If players plan their routes wisely, these successes can trigger a cascade of combinations to give them a competitive advantage in earning public achievements and private bonuses. The game ends immediately when all public achievements have been completed or when a player has achieved all private bonuses. Players then add up their successes and achievements to determine the winner.
