It maintains the elegant, political gaming fun that fans have come to love, while introducing many innovations and improvements. Like the original design, the game ends immediately when the Star Exhibit is full. Only the animals that reach the Star Exhibit are eligible for victory, and the winner is the player with the most bay leaves.

More than 300 Wingspan fans submitted artwork of their favorite birds in the game for the Wingspan Fan Art Challenge, and 255 artworks were selected - each by a different artist - in a variety of styles. The end result is a large set of bird cards, mechanically identical to their counterparts in Wingspan and the Europe, Oceania, and Asia expansions. The box for the cards is designed for both storage and reusability. The cards fit in the bottom layer of the Nesting Box. You can mix the cards with your standard Wingspan set, select some cards to replace the cards you have (there are a total of 446 unique bird cards in Wingspan), or play games only with these birds (their percentages correspond to the percentages on the bonus cards).

“Take a Seat” introduces an innovative mechanic called Share & Write, where the randomness is created through player interaction (rather than with a die or a card). On each turn, players are given a panel and must decide whether to use the usher's ability or receive points directly. They must then mark a reservation on the board to their right or left (depending on the turn) by scratching one of the 4 tickets from the reservation panel. Finally, they must assign seats in the theater by marking the perimeter and circles corresponding to the selected pieces in the previous step. The game lasts 14 turns. Once it's over, move on to the final score. There are 3 areas to score points: goal cards, reservation majorities and an usher bonus. Players add all points together to get the total score. The player with the highest score wins the game.

In Aldebaran Duel you are the leader of a space fleet with which you want to exercise as much control as possible over a newly available planetary system. Over three eras you discover new planets, populate them, use their mineral wealth to build spaceships and try to gain the upper hand over your opponent. During the game you acquire cards that represent planets, shuttles, mining stations and colonized parts of planets. Planet building is one of the game's most important mechanics, and using it correctly can be a crucial winning strategy. By building a fleet of merchant, diplomatic and combat ships, you will gain influence across the galaxy - and in the laboratories your scientists can discover new technologies that can turn the duel in your favor at the right time. At the same time, you can use cards as resources to build your empire. Is it better to play the card - or pay with it? Combining cards correctly allows you to have better and more varied options in later turns. Whoever builds the best functioning new civilization after three eras wins.

Put down your drinking horns and buckle up your swords, it's time to go through some dungeon adventures in Tales from the Red Dragon Inn! A new cooperative board game for 1-4 players from SlugFest Games! In Tales you take on the role of one of the famous characters from The Red Dragon Inn series, as they go about their day jobs. The multi-scenario campaign pits players against enemies tailor-made for each illustrated foldout game board. Each scenario takes you to a new map, with new enemies and even a few tricky puzzles to solve. You must work together with the other players by equipping hero and item cards to support your allies who have their own unique skills and roles. Each scenario has specific objectives, so how you and your group defeat each objective varies from "kill all enemies" to "survive X turns" to "protect this thing until something happens" to "get into this room." All players win the scenario together by completing the final objective of that scenario. They can also lose all together if one of them is defeated in combat, or in the case of many scenarios, if the enemies complete their own AI-controlled objective.

Philosophy is a relaxing, abstract two-player game. In this game you and your fellow player are two friends having a conversation. The board represents your conversation space, and your pieces represent your ideas. The aim of the game is simple: connect 3 of your ideas in a row somewhere on the board. This is called a Conclusion. You will take turns placing your ideas on the board, with the restriction that new tiles can only be placed in the nine central spaces. Each tile has a space it will face with a unique effect. When placed correctly, a player's tiles can push or pull the opponent's tiles. Moved tiles can also push adjacent tiles or even enter the target space of the current player's previously placed tiles, causing chain reactions. Tiles that are eventually pushed off the board are returned to the player who owns them. The game ends when a single player has reached a Conclusion: three of their tiles connected in a line, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Philosophy often feels more like a puzzle than a competitive game, as the state of the board becomes more complicated and changes between turns. The soothing theme, simple mechanics, tough decisions and high-quality production come together to deliver a high-quality experience for avid players and casual players alike.

In Town 77 — located just down the road from Town 66 — residents can't stand seeing houses of the same shape or color next to each other. 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. If you cannot play a tile on a turn, you are out of the game. Once everyone is out of the game, whoever has the fewest tiles in hand — or who played last in the event of a tie — wins. If you play your last tile you win, but if you don't draw any new tiles you risk not being able to play anymore!

Players in Tiger & Dragon draw tiles from their hand to participate in waves of attack and defense. Be the first player to clear their hand to score points based on one of the ten score cards used in this round. The game contains 38 tiles: 36 numbered tiles with one 1, two 2's, etc. up to eight 8's, along with a tiger and a dragon. Shuffle the tiles face down, then each player takes tiles based on the number of players, with the starting player taking one additional tile. For example, with four players, the starting player takes ten tiles and all other players take nine. At least one tile remains out of play. The starting player attacks by playing a tile from their hand. The next player can choose to either pass or defend the attack by playing the same tile. Note that the dragon defends against every odd numbered tile and the tiger against every even numbered tile. After defending, you place your own tile to attack. If a player passes, the next player can either pass or defend. If all other players pass your attack, place a tile from your hand face down and then choose a new tile to attack again. When attacking with the dragon or tiger, a player can defend with any odd- or even-numbered tile, respectively. The first player to empty their hand wins the round and scores points based on the last tile they played and the specific scorecard for that round. They get 1 bonus point for each time their attack remained undefended. At the end of a round, if a player has scored 10+ points, they win.

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.

Fliptown is a flip-and-write game where you try to earn stars by exploring a Wild West town. The game uses a standard poker set to encourage an open world style of play, along with whiteboard-style boards that serve as each player's cards. Each turn you turn over three cards and assign one card to indicate your suit, one card to indicate your value, and one card to indicate your poker card. The color determines which of the four regions you activate, the value determines which location within that region you can circle, and the poker card goes to a five-card poker hand that is completed at the end of each round. Each of the four regions - Trail, Badlands, Mine, and Town - offers a different problem to overcome, while each location within a region offers unique rewards such as money, gold, useful items such as pistols, horses and tools, or bonus actions to create powerful combinations. For solo play, you can play to get a high score or compete against one of four "cowbot" robot opponents, each with their own motivation. For multiplayer play, players use "community cards" in the center of the playing field, with players completing each turn simultaneously. Additionally, bounty cards add competitive goals that players race to achieve. In addition to the standard game, you can play as one of 14 characters from the Wild West. Each character has a unique set of starting resources and a unique special ability.
