Release birds in your personal nature reserves and score points by letting them work together as best as possible. This version of Wingspan can be played with two players. The game contains rules for the new “duet” variant. In this variant you score extra points with the help of a tableau with bird properties. As soon as you play a bird, you cover the corresponding attribute on the tableau for bonus points. This makes for a challenging game for two, full of tactical choices. But Wingspan: Asia can also be played as an extension of the basic game. In fact, with the extra playing material, an extra-large game can be played with up to 7 players! The “swarm” variant is used for this. In this game variant, two players always take their turns at the same time and the player group is divided into two. Each group has its own birdhouse and its own card stock, but both groups play together with the same target tiles. So whether you want to try a new two-player experience or make it a big bird party for seven, this expansion is a must for Wingspan fans!

Once a year, the best miracle doctors and proselytizers come together in Kakelenburg to brew drinks against sweaty feet, homesickness, hiccups and heartbreak. However, every quack cooks his own soup here. Each player draws ingredients from his own supply bag, composed during the course of the game, until he thinks his drink is perfect. But be careful: a few popping peas and the whole drink will explode. So it is better to stop in time and cook a smaller portion and use the proceeds to purchase valuable ingredients. In this way, the supply bag fills with more and more useful ingredients, which may make the next drink even better and earn more points.

In the fourth edition of Clever 4ever you will once again collect as many points as possible. Through 5 different categories and the bonus actions, you try to fill in combinations on your score sheet as cleverly as possible with the dice. Dice that you do not use go to the tray, so that your opponents can also choose dice during your turn. This is familiar territory for seasoned Clever players. But what are the new categories? The colors blue, yellow, green, pink and gray each score points in their own way: The yellow category consists of 3 rows. You may only enter increasing numbers in the top row. You can complete the rows below as you wish. The second row constitutes negative points, the third row normal points. The more boxes you complete, the more bonuses you get. In the blue category you use the blue and white die. Together the two dice form coordinates with which you can check a box in a large square. You score points by putting at least two crosses per row, column or diagonal. In gray you have to fill in fields again and again based on the number of the die. A field consists of a number of squares, which must correspond to the number of spots on the die. The new fields must also be adjacent to previously checked fields. Green consists of a row of boxes that you must fill in from left to right. Each box is split in two. The bottom half gives you an immediate bonus. The other half, in combination with the first half, gives the total number of points. You can choose whether you first complete a box completely or whether you prefer to fill in the bottom halves first to quickly score bonuses. Pink also consists of a row of boxes. You may enter any number indicated by the die in each box. However, in pink, each number has a property. For example, a 5 immediately gives the bonus under the box, while with a 3 you can immediately write down a second 3, but you are not allowed to take any bonuses. All categories are again full of bonuses that can cause combinations and chain reactions. Whoever knows how to use these combinations as smartly as possible wins Clever 4ever.

Similo is a fun, accessible card game for in between, where all players cooperatively try to guess the character chosen in advance by the game leader. The chosen character is among the 12 cards on the table. No speaking is allowed and the game leader uses cards with other characters from his hand as clues. By laying out cards in a certain way, he indicates whether the characters have similarities or are different from each other. The other players must work together to interpret the clue as best as possible. Players will therefore have to carefully consider what the characters have in common or how they differ. Because what exactly the game leader is referring to with his hint remains a secret. Is it appearance, character, era, origin, profession, contribution to history or Nobel Prizes that are being referred to? Perhaps a number of biographies have been made into films or are there characters who have died a tragic death? The possibilities are endless! Knowledge, but also creativity plays an important role here. Based on the instructions, players must eliminate the characters on the table one or more at a time until only the correct character remains on the table. The players must regularly think out of the box to correctly interpret the clues. If they fail to guess the correct character at the end of the game, or if they are eliminated from the game early, all players lose together as a team. Similo: Fairy Tales can also be combined with versions with a different theme, such as Similo: History. Players can use different theme decks together or even place one deck on the table and give instructions with another deck. For example, Dorothy from Wizard of Oz, like Abraham Lincoln, is of American descent, and Prince Charming and Princess Sissi both have a royal title. Similo is a fun game for the whole family, but also to play as a couple. Its small size makes it easy to travel with and because the characters are known worldwide, it can be easily and fun played anywhere in the world. The Games Friends: “Similo is such a great game for a quick snack. You play a game in 10 minutes, but still have the feeling that you have completed a full game. Highly recommended for fans of Dixit, Mysterium and Obscurio!"

Treasure hunters and saboteurs trouble each other in this role card game. The only question is who is on which side! Each player receives a role card, which indicates whether he is a saboteur or a treasure-hunting dwarf. He keeps his role a secret from everyone, but can of course say whatever he wants in the meantime. Furthermore, each player receives a number of cards with corridors, tools or sabotage options. The treasure hunters aim to find the treasure, while the saboteurs try to prevent that. This way they can sabotage each other's tools or explain courses the wrong way.

Whoever has collected the most rewards after a number of rounds wins the game. The Games Friends: “ We really like games where you have to bluff and fool each other. Saboteur is therefore fully approved by us! The simple rules and limited playing time make Saboteur the perfect game to take to family and friends."

New adventures await you in the search for El Dorado! Along the way you will encounter unknown misty valleys, where many surprises await you. In the meantime, watch out for suddenly appearing fire-breathing dragons that will slow you down, and pick up valuable treasures with your metal detector. The Quest for El Dorado: Dragons, Treasures & Mysteries is a new expansion consisting of three modules. The “Dragons” module introduces dragons. At the start of the game they sleep, but if a playing piece moves to the space with a dragon or an adjacent space, it must stop there and the dragon wakes up. From that moment on, players can move the dragon instead of their own playing piece. This is important, because you are not allowed to move a playing piece that is in the immediate vicinity of a dragon! The “Treasure” module introduces treasure tokens. You can pick it up if you stand next to it and play a metal detector or remove the requested cards from the game. If you have collected 4 treasure tokens, this counts as reaching El Dorado. You can also use a treasure token to move to an adjacent space twice in succession without having to meet the conditions on those spaces. The “Mysteries” module introduces mysterious valley tiles. These are placed face down on the playing field at the start of the game, but are turned over as soon as a player ends up with his playing piece on an adjacent field. From that moment on, players may enter the valley tile in the usual way. The valley tiles can also be used as normal terrain tiles, but then the surprise effect is gone. All three modules can be played individually or with other expansions. This provides plenty of variety for fans of The Search for El Dorado!

Whoever has the most followers on a completed project immediately receives points. Different rules apply to the number of points to be received for each type of project. The game ends when all tiles have been placed. Whoever has the most points wins. Carcassonne is loved by both families and experienced players because it has sufficient depth despite the simple rules. The touch of luck gives everyone the opportunity to participate in the win until the end. The Games Friends: “ Carcassonne is of course a classic and we completely understand why.
