    In the board game Scythe, each player tries to make his faction the richest and most powerful in Eastern Europe. Players explore and conquer territories, recruit recruits, produce goods and workers, build buildings, and deploy monstrous robots. Players start in Scythe by building their infrastructure and exploring the world. As their factions slowly grow stronger, there is one big question: will you coexist peacefully or will you go into battle? Will you manage to seize power? The Games Friends: “ Scythe combines a fantastic appearance (beautiful artwork and detailed miniatures) with wonderful gameplay. The actions are not very complicated, but there is still a lot of depth in this beautiful board game. This topper should not be missing in any games cabinet! ”

    Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is a standalone game set before the events of Gloomhaven. In the game you will find four new characters, namely the Valrath Red Guard, the Inox Hatchet, the Human Voidwarden and the Quatryl Demolitionist. All new characters can also be used in the original Gloomhaven game. In the game you will find 16 different monsters and a campaign of 25 scenarios, in which the heroes must investigate a number of mysterious disappearances in the city. Is it Vermlings' work or is there something else going on? In Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion the gameplay has been simplified somewhat, making it interesting for less hardcore gamers as well. For example, you no longer have to put together the board yourself with all the loose tiles, but all scenarios are conveniently packed in a scenario book. There are also five tutorial scenarios, making it very easy to learn how to play the game. All of this makes Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion the perfect introduction to the world of Gloomhaven! The Games Friends: " WOW! Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is perhaps even better than its big brother. The story is super fun to follow, it plays smoothly, setting up is much faster than with Gloomhaven and because you nothing ruins it, you can keep playing it. Highly recommended and one of our favorite games ever!

    "Lemonade? They want lemonade? Where is the world going? I want commercials for hamburgers on all channels, every 15 minutes. Because with us you can buy a real hamburger, not some cheap one. And I want a billboard next to that house on the corner, so that they even feel like having a fresh beer from their garden!" The trainee subtly tries to raise a problem... "Not enough staff? What do you mean, too few staff?" barks the CEO. "Hire more people, train them and pay them a pittance. I didn't enter the business world to become poor. By the way, fire the discount manager immediately because she only costs money. Bring in the marketing manager!" Food Chain Magnate is a tough strategic game in which you build your own fast food brand. Players must take purchasing, marketing and sales into account. Will you create the most beautiful empire? The Games Friends: " Food Chain Magnate is brilliantly put together. Every choice and every action is important in this game, because you can just be overrun by your opponents. One of our favorite games ever! "

    Terrinoth needs heroes - and there's no better time to create your own legend. Get ready to play the definitive dungeon-crawling board game with the release of Descent: Legends of the Dark. Create your own legend with your friends as you adventure through the vibrant fantasy realm of Terrinoth! Powered by the fully integrated free companion app, Descent: Legends of the Dark puts you in the role of a budding hero with your own play style and skills. Together with your unlikely companions, you embark on an unexpected adventure - an adventure told through the 16 missions of the Blood and Flame campaign. During your campaign you will encounter undead lurking in the mists, demonic barbarians prowling the wilderness, and even more terrifying threats. Descent: Legends of the Dark is not the third edition of Descent: Journeys in the Dark and is not compatible with Descent: Journeys in the Dark content despite being set in the same Terrinoth world. Although Journeys in the Dark included the companion app Road to Legend, that game was always designed as a competitive experience, with one to four heroes playing against a single overlord. Legends of the Dark uses the integrated companion app to deliver cooperative play from the start, so you and your friends can focus solely on becoming the heroes of Terrinoth. Game elements such as combat, fatigue, skills, items and more have been completely revamped with Legends of the Dark, while a new approach to scenario layout and 3D terrain creates striking multi-level scenarios. The app also brings new changes to the gameplay, introducing enemies with customizable strategies, complex status effects and triggers fully managed by the app, and the ability to develop your heroes based on the choices you make in scenarios. You'll also discover plenty of activity between scenarios, such as crafting, shopping in town, upgrading equipment, and more. With 46 pieces of 3D terrain and 40 stunning hero and monster miniatures to engage you in the game, your greatest adventure is here before you!

    Arkham Horror: The Card Game Revised Core Set is a cooperative Living Card Game set in the early 20th century. As unspeakable evil and terrifying horrors seek to enter our world, one to four investigators attempt to unravel all the mysteries and conspiracies before it's too late. Each player takes on the role of one of these researchers. During your turn you can play cards, move your investigator from location to location, look for clues, or attack and hopefully defeat a monster. Once all players have had their turn, the Mythos phase begins, in which new threats arise that you will have to deal with. If you take too long, the enemy's agenda will advance, which could lead to an unfavorable outcome for the scenario! But what's new about the Revised Core Set? To be honest, nothing has changed about the game itself. This is still the Arkham Horror: The Card Game that many have come to know and love. The rules are the same, the campaign is the same, the experience is the same. Even the cards are largely the same, with the only difference being a number of new cards that are great for new players. The contents of the box have received an organizational upgrade, meaning it's much easier to find specific cards than before. Additionally, some additional quality improvements have been made, such as new numbered resources and clue/threat tokens, and even a lead investigator token! The Games Friends: " One of our favorite games! We think it's really cool that you can upgrade your character and deck during the game and that the choices you make in the game have direct consequences in the story. "

    Tainted Grail: the Fall of Avalon is an unforgettable solo or cooperative adventure experience for 1-4 players. By combining Arthurian legends and Celtic mythology with a unique vision, you can influence the game world in a deep and meaningful way. A deep, branching storyline lets you tackle problems in different ways, so no two games play the same. Difficult decisions or harrowing choices wait around every corner and seemingly small tasks can reverberate with major long-term consequences. In a land slowly sinking into the Wyrdness and torn by conflict, surviving every day is a challenge in itself. Hunger, illness, bad weather and random incidents all conspire to end your journey. Guardian Menhirs, which kept you traveling safely through the realm, slowly darken, turning simple logistics into a complex puzzle. To overcome these challenges, your character develops along several conflicting lines, such as Brutality/Empathy or Practicality/Spirituality. These traits unlock a rich choice of mutually exclusive skills and lead to different deck-building strategies, making character development meaningful and deep. The character you develop will be tested through dozens of combat and non-combat encounters. Sometimes you have to use brute force, but often diplomacy is a better option. Whether you fight with your strength or your wits, the unique dice-less encounter system makes resolving each conflict fun and exciting while keeping you immersed in the game. In Avalon, a legend awaits behind every stone and every tree. All locations have their own rich stories and secrets to discover. Places and characters are often much more than they seem. As you slowly put together all the pieces of the larger puzzle, the country will always have a surprise waiting for you around the corner. Many secrets can only be discovered after several games. Created by one of the best Polish fantasy authors, Krzysztof Piskorski. The story of Tainted Grail: the Fall of Avalon aims to push the boundaries of non-linear storytelling, building on the rich experience.
