Video Vortex is a competitive deck-building game for 2-4 players set on a radioactive future Earth inhabited by video-obsessed mutants. Each genre-worshipping character must strategically use their individual mutant powers as they battle opponents and navigate game effects in an attempt to seize control of the wasteland. During their respective turns, players will expend energy playing special cards, strengthening their deck with rental equipment from the local video store, and removing chosen cards from play to weaken enemies. Runtime, the measure of mutant health, is limited and unique to each character. By pushing an opponent's runtime past their limit through Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi attacks, mutants collect "Be Kind" tokens as trophies representative of their conquest. Once three distinctive trophies have been collected, victory is declared by the reigning champion.

Deep State: New World Order is a dystopian game about world domination and global conspiracies. The game takes place over several rounds and over the course of a round, players begin the action phase, which is followed by the takeover phase. These two phases repeat, and at the end of the round comes the treaty phase. During the action phase, each player performs one action, the most important of which is to send your agents to infiltrate political, financial and research institutions represented by objective cards in the infiltration zone. You must race for objective cards as other players can send more agents to intercept the card they need. Players can also progress to World Domination projects including Comintern, Unified Nations, Spyware, and Deep State itself, giving players tangible advantages in the game. They may also choose to conduct covert, high-leverage operations that require sacrificing operatives. During the takeover phase, players take their captured cards and return some of their agents. The treaty phase begins when all objective cards in the infiltration zone have been captured. Each player can then make a single pact that will see them team up with powerful organizations, some known around the world, while others hide in secret. At the end of the game, players calculate their influence (victory points) generated by their goal cards, by participating in global projects and by their treaty cards. Many cards interact with each other, creating even more influence. The player with the most influence wins the game and becomes master of the world we know.

The islands are still covered in dense fog. The further you go with your balloon over the island, the more the mist lifts and you explore the breathtaking landscape. Make good use of the local wind to save energy. Because you need it often enough to accelerate or slow down. Steer completely into the wind at the right time to reach your goal. You discover the adjacent landscape where the balloon is located by placing tiles on the adjacent spaces. This is how cities are built, monuments are erected and landscapes grow. First of the game round you have the opportunity to get more landscape tiles. Finally, you probably only get one tile, but you can control the wind direction, which can also be a decisive advantage. Once a player has connected all the landscapes to the balloon garden, the game ends. The Games Friends: "Islands in the Mist is such a fun and smart game. Because you have to use the wind to sail, there are quite a few tactical choices involved. The modules in the game feel like a complete extension , so you definitely get value for your money."

The year is 2400 and you are Kalia Lavel. You once dreamed of fighting crime as a highly trained cyber operative, but it quickly became clear that the company you worked for only cared about their bottom line.

Chronicles of Crime: 2400 is a standalone game for 1-4 players that presents a new world where androids indistinguishable from humans walk the streets of Paris and cybernetic implants have become part of everyday life.

In any case, players have the option to enhance Kalia with: cybernetic implants. Super senses to help them find evidence, a tomographer to quickly scan suspects, or perhaps a zapper to neutralize problematic electronics?

Venturing into Cyberspace and the virtual world, players will be further challenged as they deal with avatars and the difficulties of an electronic landscape. In Chronicles of Crime: 2,400 players will discover that while the battle between criminals and detectives dates back millennia, it has been taken to a whole new level at the turn of the 25th century. The Games Friends: We had to get used to the first case, but in the second and third cases it went like clockwork.

In Villainous: Wicked to the Core, each player takes control of one of three Disney characters, each a villain from a different Disney film, such as the Evil Queen from Snow White, Hades from Hercules, and Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog. Each player has their own Villain Deck, Fate Deck, Player Board and 3D Character. During a turn, the active player moves his character to a different location on his player board, performs one or more of the actions visible on that space (often by playing cards from his hand), and then replenishes his hand to four cards . Cards are allies, items, effects and conditions. You must use your cards to fulfill your unique win condition. One of the actions allows you to choose another player, draw two cards from that player's lot, and then play one of these cards onto that player's board, taking two of the four action spaces on covers one of that player's locations. The fate deck contains heroes, items, and effects from that villain's movie, and these cards allow other players to mess with that particular villain. Villainous: Wicked to the Core can be played on its own, and the characters can also compete against those in the 2018 Villainous base game.

Embark on an epic journey to reach Mahdia, a pirate fortress on the coast of North Africa! Is your army strong enough to break through the walls? Or will the African heat, ruthless pirate plunderers and the Ifrit - a creature of Arabian legend - sink your dreams of glory forever in the sea of ​​sand? The Destinies: Sea of ​​Sand expansion comes with three scenarios that make up a campaign. We recommend playing the entire campaign with the same group of players, but this is not mandatory. Scenarios are linked together and each scenario reveals the next steps of a larger plot. Sea of ​​Sand also adds new dungeon and maze mechanics, in addition to the use of "sub-maps" to represent the vast distances of the Sahara Desert and the locations players will visit. The Games Friends: Destinies: Sea Of Sand is a very good expansion to the base game. The stories are fun and well written and they feel a bit more logical than its predecessor. In the base game we sometimes had the feeling of wandering around in the world, but we didn't have that in this expansion. As far as we're concerned, that makes Destinies: Sea Of Sand indispensable for Destinies fans.

How do you take the perfect photo of a group of people when you only have one try? Each character has different wishes. Some want to be at the front of the photo; some want to stand next to another; and some don't want to be next to that one person in any way. Do your best to make everyone happy - even if you don't know all the characters' preferences... In Picture Perfect you have to arrange fourteen characters to take the perfect photo. Each of them has three specific wishes that you want to fulfill. Unfortunately, these desires are hidden in envelopes. During the game, players try to take a look inside these envelopes to figure out how to place the characters correctly. To do this, they trade their information with others - or perhaps try to hide it... Whoever earns the most points at the end of the game has fulfilled the most wishes and becomes the master photographer. The Games Friends: We played this game for the first time on Spiel and we were immediately enthusiastic: this is such a funny idea. On the one hand it is a deduction game because you have to put all the people in the right place and on the other hand it is also just a fun gimmick. Thematically it is great and the artwork is also beautiful. Recommended!

Bardwood Grove is a tableau-composition euro game in which each player takes on the role of a fantastic bard. Set in the universe of The Five Realms (Merchants Cove, Rise to Nobility, Cavern Tavern), players will adventure into the Halfling Realm, home to the best, highly talented and most legendary bards in the entire land. As Bards, players will manage a unique tempo-turning mechanic to build temporary Song tableaus from their deck as they explore and activate locations around the lush forest city. Each bard starts with asymmetrical skill decks that suit their style, such as the Bardbarian, Sword Dancer, and Wardrummer. Learn new Bardic skills, tell stories and perform, pacify the dissonant creatures invading the Grove, and compete with other bards for the most Glory and Fame. Once all the glory is collected, the bard with the most combined glory and fame wins! Each turn, players draw two cards from their unique ability deck and play one to their Story (discard pile) for immediate benefits, while the other is added to their Song (tableau). Bardwood Grove challenges players to carefully compose their Song tableaus and coordinate them with their composition cycle that determines how often they sing. As players strategically use resources to upgrade their decks, Songs will unlock powerful combos and allow players to interact with multiple locations. This creates a unique ebb and flow to the game, as players build their songs and then decide where and when to sing them. Rumor has it that Bardwood Grove is full of hidden secrets. As the game is played and decisions are made, players will unlock content and develop the game naturally. An achievement system tied to each game's choices and achievements guides players through a series of unlockable content. As new content emerges during each playthrough, the game offers players new things based on unique outcomes and player decisions. Grove locations will change, additional Bardic abilities can be unlocked, Bard decks become more powerful, new Bards arrive in town, and a variety of characters (both good and evil) can enter the game. Unravel the mysteries of Bardwood Grove!
