Ironwood is a rules-light, highly asymmetric, card-driven tactical game for 1-2 players. Each round, you and your opponent take turns playing a total of three faction-specific cards to use their action effects. These effects include positioning battlegroups, initiating combat, gaining crystals, applying temporary passive effects, and more. When combat occurs, you’ll use those same cards for their combat values, in a simultaneous bid to gain combat bonuses, inflict or deflect casualties, and increase your battlegroups’ dominance to win the battle. Ironwood also offers a solo mode against the Ironclad or the Woodwalkers. Each faction is controlled by a unique deck of 30+ action cards. On your turn, you select a card from your hand and resolve the action to progress toward victory. However, when a player initiates combat, you use the same cards in your hand to fight. Instead of resolving the action on the card, you and your opponent simultaneously bid a card with their combat values. With faction-specific decks, unique victory conditions, and very different playstyles, each faction feels completely different. The Ironclad represent the established, defensive faction that favors long-term development. The Woodwalkers have limited access to crystals, and their more aggressive playstyle focuses on sabotage, pillaging, and surprise attacks. As Commander of the Ironclad, your main goal is to lay the foundations of your forges and, once you have collected enough crystals, build these forges on the foundations. As Leader of the Woodwalkers, your mission is to find the ancient Totems of your people and secure them in the outer woods, out of reach of the Ironclad.

Each player is given two numbered card holders that can be magnetically linked for a unique gaming experience. Strategically place your cards in the front and back lines of your card holder to defend your position or attack your opponents. Be warned though, once a card is placed, you can’t change it, so plan wisely and win with conviction! Playing with Group Cards Collect four cards of the same group to form a powerful set. This allows you to draw new cards and increase your advantage. Group cards not only contain important gameplay elements, but also offer fascinating historical insights into ancient Norse culture and mythology. Master the Power of the Action Cards There are nine different action cards, each with unique functions such as attack, defend or special tactics to achieve victory. Combine three identical action cards for a super action and leave your enemies in Valhalla. Each action card tells a story, and you decide how that story ends! The Game Board: Your Playing Field of Power From Helheim (the underworld) to Valhalla (the place for brave warriors), each space on the game board has a purpose. Here cards are played, traded or sacrificed in your quest for victory. Attack, Defense & Negotiation Use powerful axes and bows to attack your opponents, or protect yourself with a shield. Negotiate wisely, take cards from your opponents, and work together as a team to defeat your opponents. But beware: nothing is certain in the game of Vikings, where every move can mean the difference between glory and defeat. Team Play Option Strengthen the bond with your teammates, exchange cards and combine your strengths to achieve a common victory. But beware: consultation is forbidden and strategy is everything! Educational Element The Viking Card Game not only offers exciting competition, but is also an educational journey through Viking history and mythology. Players learn about important figures, mythological stories and the culture of this fascinating time period in an interactive way. This makes the game not only a source of entertainment, but also a unique educational experience, suitable for all ages. Are you ready to bring out your inner Viking?

On the steep peaks of the Yunnan Mountains grows a special plant. Rumors are circulating that the plant has miraculous properties that can heal the body and boost the spirit.

A special reward awaits the most skilled gardener: the prospect of fertile land in the coveted province of Yunnan. Theetuin is a challenging board game for deckbuilding enthusiasts, a well-developed theme and interesting original new game mechanics. Theetuin is recommended for players looking for a solid, but not too complicated game! Tea Garden lasts 5 rounds. Each player can take a maximum of 4 turns per round. Players take 1 turn clockwise by playing cards, with the first 3 turns being free and the fourth turn costing tea leaf tokens. A player's turn consists of 1 main action, 1 optional extra action and as many free actions as desired. Main actions are for example building a tea garden, buying an action card or selling tea to caravans. Depending on the cards played, you may perform an extra action, such as studying or sailing the boat, to gain extra rewards. Some rewards allow you to perform free actions during your turn, which can activate lucrative chain reactions. The heart of the game is formed by the green and brown tea leaf tokens. You always get green tea leaves, which deteriorate in quality during the maturation. That is why you can ferment them and make brown tea leaves from them. These become better in quality and are therefore more valuable. All these actions earn you points. If you have the most of them at the end of the game, you win Theetuin!

The players operate a theater and are responsible for assigning the spectators to their seats. No cards are turned over to determine where to seat the spectators; you make all the choices yourself. An important detail is that you share a reservation board with both your left and right neighbors. On this board, you choose the action you'll perform and the zone in which you'll place the spectators. Each turn, you'll also have to make a permanent change to how spectators are placed in a zone. This makes things easier for yourself, and your opponent will also be affected by your decisions. Each turn, you alternate between the board you share with your left-hand neighbor and the board you share with your right-hand neighbor. Take a Seat is a game with a higher level of interaction and a lower element of luck than comparable ...and-write games. Each game also features new scoring rules, and you can switch between two different theaters, giving the game high replayability. Furthermore, the game is played on erasable player boards, so you don't have to worry about running out of score sheets.
