Generations before you lived off the oceans. But at the end of the 19th century, new opportunities reach your fishing village in northern Norway. In Saltfjord, you must decide how to shape your settlement. Will you choose to build new buildings, go fishing, trade, or develop new technologies to make everyday life easier? How will you determine the fate of your village? Saltfjord is set in a Norwegian fishing village and is loosely based on the dice-draft mechanics of Santa Maria , but the game has been completely redesigned and expanded with new elements. For added replayability, the game features variable elements in the setup, such as which special abilities and final score tiles are available. Over the course of three rounds, players draft dice to activate buildings in their settlement. This provides resources and offers actions such as sending out your fishing boat, developing your technologies, completing trade contracts, or constructing new buildings. Each player board shows a grid. When you draft a die, you activate all buildings in the row or column corresponding to that die. Constructing buildings in your settlement allows you to activate more buildings with each die roll. The technology tracks provide access to special skills, such as upgrading your fishing boat. And fishing remains a crucial part of daily life in Saltfjord .

Emberleaf is a competitive board game that combines card matching and tile placement. As a brave Emberling, your mission is to rebuild your home deep in the heart of an ancient forest. To succeed, you'll need to explore the forest, gather resources, clear dangerous areas, and build new homes for your people. Along the way, you'll recruit heroes to your party, each with unique abilities that will strengthen your team. But beware—space in the forest is limited, and other Emberlings have their own plans. The game introduces a unique mechanic called "card dancing," where you place hero cards within a moving grid to activate abilities and strengthen your party. By sliding cards, you can trigger powerful combinations, charging them at the perfect moment for even greater effects. Additionally, you build colorful villages by placing tiles that cater to the diverse needs of your villagers. Recruiting new heroes not only expands your abilities but also strengthens your existing party, creating a powerful engine-building element. As you traverse the forest, you'll also need to strategically manage resources, clear dangerous areas, and carefully plan how to deploy your resources. Every decision you make affects the fate of your people. Can you rise to the challenge, lead your village to prosperity, and win the hearts of your fellow Emberlings?

Brass Birmingham is played in 2 eras: the canal era and the railway era. Just like in the Industrial Revolution, you make connections through channels at the beginning of the game. In the second era, railways are available and you can expand your network via rail. In both eras you build and develop different industries, trade goods, receive income and try to earn the most points! Due to the random design, no two games are the same. The bonuses are different per location and the cards in your hand are also different every game. Each turn you can choose from 2 of the 6 actions. For every action you take, you must discard a card from your hand. You continue to do this until the draw pile runs out, at which point the era ends. The player who spent the least on their turn starts the next turn, so be smart about what you spend your money on!
