Time to put on your deerstalker and see if you've got what it takes to be a detective — but do it quickly or others will solve the case first. In Crazy Sherlock you must identify five clues related to the crime: the criminal's eye color, their height, their accessory, the location, and the time. The game contains 18 clue cards divided into these five categories, and to start, place one card from each category to the side, shuffle the remaining cards and deal them out as evenly as possible. When the round starts, start a 15-second timer. Each player has so much time to look at their cards, after which they pass them to the left, the timer restarts, and they can look at their new cards. They keep passing cards until someone takes the announcement token, which stops the timer. This person makes their guess in each clue category, then looks at the cards set aside. If correct, they receive a case token indicating 1; if they already have a case token, they win the game. If they get it wrong, they lose a case token (if they have one), then the round continues, with the change that this person passes cards, but doesn't get to guess. Continue playing until someone guesses correctly, or only one player remains, in which case they automatically win. With the "Doctor Watson" variant, each player takes a voting token at the start of the game, and when someone announces their guess, all other players simultaneously reveal whether they think the guesser is correct. If everyone votes yes, the gambler automatically wins a clue token. If the votes are split and the guess is correct, the guesser wins a clue token and gives a clue token to someone who supported them; if the votes are split and the guess is incorrect, everyone who voted for the guesser is also out of the round. The first player to collect three clue tokens wins.

Welcome to Wildstyle, where the city is your canvas and the streets belong to the people. Rock to the beat of your favorite pirate radio station as you and your crew tag along the city. Make sure your rivals know where their field ends and yours begins. Be careful though, because not everyone in town appreciates your artistic efforts and they may want to outdo you! The aim of the game is to tag locations in the city districts with the color of your crew. You do this by collecting sets of cards with matching location icons. Each time you collect a set of 3 cards that all have the same icon, you may place a tag on a spot with that icon anywhere on the card. The game is played over 3 rounds and there are no turns! Once a round has started, everyone performs their actions simultaneously in a random order. The end of the round is triggered when all draw piles are empty or when only 1 player has tags left on their card. Each player receives 6 crew tiles from the supply and a new round begins. The game ends after 3 rounds and you score for objectives and for each spot where you have a tag. The team with the most points wins!

In Classic Art, first released as Members Only, players try to predict how many works of art will be present in five exhibitions. The riskier your predictions, the more you score - but of course only if you are right! The deck consists of 65 cards, with 13 cards in each of the five categories; eleven of the cards are "positive" and two are "negative". At the beginning of each season, players are dealt a hand of cards (7-11, depending on the number of players) and two cards are placed face up from the deck in their respective exhibits. In the first round of the season, players can predict how many works of art will be in an exhibition at the end of the current season by placing 1-2 tokens (along with their high risk token) on a prediction space. At each exhibition you can bet on whether the art will be rare (bets 1-4) or not rare (bets 5-8). In each subsequent round, a player must place two cards from his hand in the appropriate exhibits, after which he may make a prediction. If all players have only three cards in hand, they discard one face down and place the other two cards in exhibitions. When a negative card and a positive card appear in an exhibit, remove them. At the end of a season, players score for correct predictions. The riskier the bet, the higher the payout per token in that successful bet, with players withdrawing points for each exhibition separately. At the end of a season, tokens for failed bets (except those with high risk) are removed from the game, while tokens for successful bids are returned to the players. If a player has zero or one chip at the end of a season, he gets all his chips back. A player can score a maximum of 10 points in an exhibition. Continue playing seasons until at the end of a season each exhibition has at least one player who has scored 5 points. The game ends and players count their scores - but tokens in the range of 0-4 in an exhibition are worthless. Whoever scores the most points wins!

Rediscover the Woodland with 3 brand-new factions and 2 new maps for Root. Long dispersed and since oppressed, the Lilypad Diaspora hopes to finally call the Woodland home. While they attempt to integrate peacefully, peace is rare in the midst of a civil war. As they train their warriors, they must ensure that their desire for safety does not turn into open aggression. With weapons at the ready, a simple misunderstanding between the Diaspora and the Woodland can turn into brutal retaliation, hardening the Diaspora's fighting spirit and increasing resentment against their cause. Tired of the ongoing struggle, the Twilight Council organizes meetings to end the war. They bring everyone in the Woodland together, from the humblest mouse-in-a-sack to the most powerful hawk with a royal claim. These meetings emphasize political connections rather than pure numbers of warriors, pushing factions away from bloody battles and towards heated debates. No one knows exactly how the Knaves of the Deepwood, this band of rogues and scoundrels, came together, but the myths are numerous. From the treeline, they sally forth to raid barracks and baggage trains, taking warriors hostage. Why? For ransom, of course. Some say they give the proceeds to the needy. Others say they take liberally from it. Either way, their festive sounds echo deep into the night, from the forest depths where few dare to venture. And who can blame them for spreading a little cheer? This is an expansion. You need a copy of the Root board game to play.

As one of the universe's leading scientists, you are highly sought after. You've spent the past two years on Alarria, a small terrestrial planet a few light-years from Earth. There, you've studied the diverse native fauna, and your fieldwork has already yielded impressive results. But your time as a humble researcher is coming to an abrupt end. An asteroid roughly the size of a small country has appeared on radar and is hurtling toward Alarria—a planet-destroying threat. If not addressed quickly, the planet could be wiped out entirely. Three different plans have been put into motion, each with a minuscule chance of success. A powerful laser is tracking the asteroid's trajectory and will fire as soon as it comes within range, hoping to reduce the dangerous object to dust. An energy barrier might just be enough to alter the asteroid's course and save Alarria. And in a last-ditch effort to preserve some of the planet's unique species, an evacuation plan has been devised. The nearby moon Fortuna, covered in forests, has been tested and found to be capable of supporting life—and thankfully, lies outside the expected impact zone. All that's left to do is relocate as many species as possible before impact occurs. Your research is at a standstill, as the planet's greatest minds have gathered to develop the three plans. Time is ticking away, and the asteroid is getting closer. What will you focus on? Which plan has the greatest chance of success? There's not a moment to lose... How to Save a World is a worker-placement game that focuses on hand-building and resource management. Each turn, you assign workers to crucial tasks or play action cards to support your goals. At the end of each round, the progress of your projects is evaluated, and the asteroid approaches again. Can you make the right decisions to prevent catastrophe in this thrilling sci-fi experience?

You will battle against opponents and compete with others to rise on the progression lanes: Science, Industry, Commerce, Civilization and Supremacy.

Irish Gauge - one of three titles in Winsome Games 2014 Essen Set - is played on a map of Ireland and is similar in style to many of the stock-based cube track games released by Winsome Games since 2007.

The dividends are paid to shareholders of certain railways based on the number of cities/towns they are connected to and how many shares of this company have been issued. The upgrade and dividend promotions also affect the playing time and the likelihood of further dividends for each company. The game ends when a certain condition is met at the end of a player's turn and the player with the highest sum of money and stock value at the end of that turn wins the game.

Dark times hang over the kingdom of Thebes. The blind, aged King Oedipus has abandoned the throne in disgrace and asked his sons, Polyneices and Eteocles, to rule the city together. But power corrupts, and old feuds demand new blood. Soon, Polyneices leads an army from the rival city of Argos against his own brother. The Theban nobles support Eteocles, who is struggling to maintain his authority in the city. The young king calls for the defense of the seven city gates, while seven champions of the attacking forces launch their assault. Meanwhile, the famed citadel of Thebes, the Cadmea, lies in ruins; it has been neglected since the time of Oedipus's father, King Laius. It is as if the Fates themselves have turned against the current rulers of Thebes. While the common people prepare for war, the nobles whisper that it's time for new leadership—and that the rebuilding of the Cadmea must begin now! But restoring the glory of this sacred birthplace of Dionysus, god of the grape himself, is no easy task, especially with enemies at the gates. In Thebai, players take on the role of influential leaders of noble families during the turbulent late Bronze Age. Throughout the game, they work to rebuild Cadmea, Thebes' stronghold, restoring the city's exports, offering sacrifices to the city gods, and protecting the people, while heroes deny each other life outside the gates. Thebai is an interactive, challenging Euro game that approaches dice-placement mechanics in an innovative and tactical way. Players collaboratively create the available actions on the main game board, while carefully managing their personal skills and long-term strategies. Each turn offers exciting and rewarding choices: use unlocked actions on your player board, or place your dice on the shared board to promote them to powerful council members. This opens up unique scoring opportunities and triggers powerful combos. Inspired by Greek mythology, Thebai immerses you in the conflict between Polyneices and Eteocles. Defend the seven gates of Thebes, navigating through deep strategy, positive player interaction, and thematic tension—every step of the way.

Tianxia is set during a decisive period in Chinese history: the Warring States period, around 260 BC. During this time, the seven kingdoms—Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Qi, Chu and Qin—were engaged in fierce conflict with each other and with nomadic tribes such as the Xiongnu, who posed a constant threat from the north. Although sections of the Great Wall had been built since the 8th century BCE, the later part of this period saw a significant increase in defensive structures. Even before the Qin dynasty managed to unify the kingdoms, extensive fortifications, watchtowers, and new wall sections were constructed to protect the borders. In Tianxia, players take on the role of leaders of noble families striving for prestige and favor from the powerful rulers of the seven Warring Kingdoms. The game lasts four rounds, during which you install governors in regions and strengthen the influence of various ruling houses, thus gaining their favor. At the same time, you sell goods to merchant ships along the Chinese coast to gain wealth and bonuses. But you mustn't lose sight of the threat of nomadic warriors on the northern borders. You must train soldiers, build walls, and erect towers to defend your interests against the advancing Xiongnu. Every defensive action earns you prestige. Each round, the nomads advance and gather more forces. When they reach the border, a battle takes place that affects all players. At the end of the game, the player who has proven himself best as governor, politician, trader and defender of the empire wins. Tianxia combines Euro-style strategy with tower defense elements, offering a fresh and dynamic gaming experience. Players build economic engines, defend the empire, and battle for victory via multiple paths. Each player controls a unique, asymmetric character with special powers, creating variety, depth, and high replayability. No two sessions are the same. Created by Daniele Tascini, Tianxia is a proud addition to the acclaimed T-series. The game offers rich, strategic gameplay for experienced players, a streamlined solo mode, and innovative elements that will appeal to both fans and new players.
