Every year, the graduating classes of the School of Magic compete to conquer the Tower of the County of Ravens. Each class tries to be the first to reach the legendary Ravens Tower using magic. But the road to Raven's Tower is full of pitfalls and challenges. Only the class that uses the magical skills correctly and masters the art of making the towers fly will graduate as a master magician. In The Enchanted Towers your goal is to be the first to move all your wizards to the black tower. To achieve this, you must play your hand cards wisely to move your wizards and the various towers on the course. If you capture your opponents' wizards by placing a tower over them, you will receive magic vials as a reward. You can use these bottles once at a later point in the game for extra bonus actions. To free a captured wizard, you must move the tower parts above. The game ends when you have collected five magic vials and all your wizards have reached the black tower. In addition to playing against each other, the game also includes a team game variant in which you work together with other players. Additionally, you can choose to add a master sorcerer or play a variant with additional spells. The beautiful artwork by Michael Menzel completes the gaming experience.

The palace offers various action options, including obtaining dice or re-rolling them. In the quarry you can purchase tiles for your tableau. For most actions, in addition to a worker, you also need a die of a certain value to be allowed to perform them. You have 2 scoring stones, one for fame and one for money, that run in opposite directions. To win, both stones must have reached or passed each other. Whoever achieves this with the largest difference wins the game. The Games Friends: “ Rajas of the Ganges is a wonderful game by Inka and Markus Brand. There are a lot of action options and ways to win, especially since you can focus on two different victory tracks. In addition, the scoring system is very original! Highly recommended for fans of Marco Polo, for example!"

Virus! - the most contagious card game. The alarm is raised in the hospital as soon as the laboratory discovers - a little too late - that the virus containers were not as empty as they thought. Your mission is to be the first to stop this outbreak, destroy the viruses and get a healthy body without viruses. Prevent the spread of these terrible viruses. Try to be the first player to have four healthy organs (without viruses) in your 'body'. A player can discard one to three cards on his turn and add up to three cards to his hand or play one card. When you play a card you may place a healthy organ in your body or place a virus on an organ of another player. If you place a second virus on the same organ, this organ will be removed. You can also place a medicine on your own organ, to vaccinate against other viruses or to remove a virus that has already been placed. If you place a second medicine on an organ, this organ is immune to other viruses. Finally, you can play a 'doctor' card. These are special action cards that allow you to steal or exchange organs, spread viruses and discard other players' hand cards.

How about traveling millions of years into the past to save the dodo and other endangered species from extinction? Use the skills of your rescued animal cards to save new animals from the threatening comet. The skills on these cards will support your rescue efforts in a variety of ways. Maybe a flying dinosaur can even help you shorten the road? The comet's tail has been drawing a thin line in the sky for a long time. But soon this line will grow into threatening fire trails that can destroy the basic conditions for the animals' life at any time. You don't know when exactly the comet will hit, but you know it will happen soon! Use the time you have left to guide as many animals as possible to the safety of the cave. The young animals you hatch depend on you – their rescuer – to move them. Once you get them to safety, they will use their skills to help you with the next rescue operations. In Comet you try to save as many prehistoric animals as possible before the comet hits. On your turn you can use your cards for: A. hatch an animal (place your animal token on the game board) B. move an animal according to the terrain spaces on the playing card C. rest, which replenishes your hand cards up to your hand limit. Once you have rescued an animal, it will appear in your personal tableau with which you can activate a temporary or permanent bonus. When moving your animals, you can use other players' animal tokens to skip fields and arrive at the end point faster. Comet offers a perfect mix of engine-building, set collection and racing elements.

The building tiles correspond to roads, factories, shops, parks, and of course, houses. Other players then choose a different building color than the active player's and place matching colored tiles in the pattern on their board.

At the start of the game, each player is randomly given three life tokens and two spare cards, which they place face up in front of them. You are then given a hand of cards whose order you are not allowed to change. The starting player for a round begins by playing a combination of up to three cards, and these cards must be next to each other in that player's hand. A player can lay down a single card, a pair, a triple or a series of two or three consecutive cards. Each player in turn must beat the combination, with a pair being defeated by a higher pair or a triple. If you can't or don't want to play, instead take one of your spare cards and place it anywhere in your hand. If you run out of spare cards, you must discard a life token. Once each player has played or passed, the one who played the highest combination wins that round and then the next round begins. If a player must discard a life token but does not have one, that player loses the game and the rest win.
