In the heart of Viennese modernism, cafés compete for customers. Inspiring artists, important politicians and tourists from all over the world populate Vienna and need a hotel room. This is your chance to transform your small café into a world-famous hotel. Hire staff, fulfill your guests' wishes and win the Emperor's favor. Only then will your café become the Grand Austria Hotel. The starting player rolls the dice, sorts them by the number rolled and places them on the corresponding action spaces. On a turn, a player chooses one of six actions and carries it out. The number of dice available in the corresponding action spaces determines how much the player gets from the action. The player then removes one of the dice and can perform additional actions. With the different actions a player can obtain the necessary drinks and dishes, prepare the rooms or hire staff. But no hotel can grow without guests. Smartly choosing which guests to attract and completing their orders brings important bonus promotions. The staff cards also have several advantages, but the game ends after seven rounds and no player can do everything they want. Therefore, the one who makes the right decisions and finds the best way to create bonus promotions wins. With 116 different cards and a new setup in each game, Grand Austria Hotel offers tremendous replayability. Each game stands alone and requires new tactics and strategies.

Bear Park: The Bad News Bears contains three separate modules that can be used individually or together with the Bear Park base game. A module contains a set of new objectives that can be shuffled together with those in the base game. A second module allows you to add grizzly bears to your bear park, with the grizzly bear tiles taking up seven spaces in a park section. That's quite something, right? Well, to give your park room to grow, you now need to add and complete a fifth park section to complete the game. This expansion includes four new park sections, each with an exit gate so visitors aren't stuck in your park forever. A third module contains narrow monorail tiles that start with a value of ten points and decrease in value as you add them to your bear park. How do you add a monorail? First you need to place tiles in your park, each with space for a column, and you need to space them correctly. Once you have placed two columns, take the top monorail tile and balance it on the columns. Now everyone can shuffle around your park and watch the bears!

Nusfjord is a quiet fishing village in the Lofoten archipelago in northern Norway. Fifty years ago the trade boomed when the cod arrived there. Today, Nusfjord is more of a museum than a village, with fewer than a hundred inhabitants. Imagine how beautiful this place must be, considering you have to pay a fee to even look at the houses. Cruise ships used to sail past this long and now largely deserted island world. In the time in which the game Nusfjord is set, it looked very different. Sailing ships dominated the fjord. The rocks around Nusfjord are covered with trees. As the owner of a large fishing company in Nusfjord on the Lofoten archipelago, your goal is to develop the harbor and the surrounding landscape. To succeed, you must increase your fleet, clear the forest, build new buildings and satisfy the local elders. Of course, others do this too, so the competition is fierce. Similar to Agricola and Ora et Labora, Nusfjord has a worker placement mechanism, where each player starts with three workers who they place on a central board to activate certain actions. Whether a player wants to clear a forest on their own board, buy a new cutter, or build a building, they must place a worker in the correct space - which is only possible if there is room for that worker. Money is scarce, and one of the faster and easier ways to get it is to put shares of your own company on the market. This risky action can be worth it, because if you manage to buy these shares yourself, you will usually have won money and suffered no downsides.

In Piepmatz you skillfully play bird cards from your hand to collect seeds and birds at the feeding place. Seeds and pairs of birds in your collection earn points. Single birds only score if you have the most of their kind. The game flow is the same for all numbers of players. In one turn you go through these three phases in order: 1. Play a card — Select a bird card from your hand and place it face up on a seat of your choice. 2. Solve effects — Compare the birds on the ground with the bird on the perch. Get a seed card or add a bird to your collection. Move a bird to the feeding area. 3. Draw new cards — Replenish your hand. The game ends when you have to draw a card from an empty feeding deck. The game continues until all players have had an equal number of turns. Each player now chooses two bird cards from their hand and discards them face down. Once all players have done this, add your remaining two bird cards to your collection and the scoring begins. You earn points for seeds, pairs of birds and majorities of species. The one with the most points wins.

In Ora et Labora (Latin for 'Pray and Work'), each player is the head of a monastery in the Middle Ages who acquires land and constructs buildings. They are, so to speak, small businesses that provide resources and profits. The goal is to build a working infrastructure and craft prestigious items - such as books, ceramics, ornaments and relics - to gain the most victory points at the end of the game. Ora et Labora, Uwe Rosenberg's fifth "major" game, has game mechanics similar to his Le Havre, such as two-sided resource cards that can be upgraded from a basic item to something more useful. Instead of adding resources to the board every turn as in Agricola and Le Havre, Ora et Labora uses a numbered rondel to show how much of each resource is available at any time. At the start of each round, players spin the rondel one segment, adjusting the counts of all resources at once. Each player has a personal game board. New buildings enter the game from time to time, and players can build them on their game boards with the building materials they collect, with some terrain restrictions on what can be built where. Some spaces start with trees or swamps on them, and these hinder development until a player clears the land, but they also provide resources when removed. Smart building on your personal game board will influence your final score, and players can purchase additional terrain during the game if necessary. Players also have three workers who can enter buildings to take the action associated with that location. Workers must remain in place until you have placed all three. You can enter your own buildings with these workers, but to enter and use another player's buildings you must pay that player an entrance fee so that he moves one of his workers into that building to do the work for you . Ora et Labora has two variants: France and Ireland.

Horses are introduced as a new type of animal. Moreover, not only do you have to feed your family, but you also have to prevent them from getting "sick" by heating every room in your house. You can get fuel to heat your home by cutting down the forests on your farm or by harvesting peat. If you have the five- and six-player expansions for the revised edition of Agricola, you can play Farmers of the Moor with up to six players.

In Le Havre, a player's turn consists of two parts: first, newly delivered goods are distributed among the offering spaces, and then an action is performed. As an action, players can choose to either take all goods of one type from an offering space, or use one of the available buildings. Building actions allow players to upgrade goods, sell them or use them to build their own buildings and ships. Buildings are both an investment opportunity and a source of income, as players must pay an entrance fee to use buildings they do not own. Ships, on the other hand, are mainly used to deliver the food needed to feed the workers. After seven turns, the round ends: players' livestock and grain can multiply through a Harvest, and players must feed their workers. After a fixed number of rounds, each player may perform one final action, after which the game ends. Players add the value of their buildings and ships to their cash reserves. The player who has amassed the greatest fortune is the winner.
