In War of the Ring: The Card Game, up to 4 players compete in two teams, with each player using a specific and different deck that represents the strengths and weaknesses of the different factions involved in the war. The Free Peoples desperately try to complete their quest to destroy the Ring, while simultaneously defending their homeland against the advancing hordes of Sauron and his evil allies. The Shadow Players must strike quickly and decisively before the ring bearers can complete their quest; or try to win Frodo over slowly by burdening him with wounds and the grief of losing his companions. During the game, players take turns playing cards that represent the characters, armies, items, and events of the War of the Ring. Every card they play will help or hinder the Fellowship's journey whether they are used to defend or conquer the strongholds of Middle-earth. With more than 100 original illustrations from the world's greatest Tolkienian artists, including an astonishing gallery of landscapes from The Shire to Mordor by John and Fataneh Howe, War of the Ring: The Card Game is more than a game: it's also a memorable one collection for all lovers of the world, created by JRR Tolkien.

Players are Stock Brokers during the Second Industrial Revolution and try to make as much money as possible while also appearing like good citizens by donating money to charity. Over the course of the game, players buy or sell stocks and then manipulate stock prices with the cards they share with their two neighbors. In addition, players donate shares to charities. The person who donates the least to charity at the end of the game automatically loses, no matter how rich he or she has become. The game uses a system of shared information where each player knows a little bit about what will happen in the markets and each player knows different pieces of information. The player who makes the most money at the end of the game is the winner, provided he or she is not the one who donated the least to charity.

Builders of Sylvan Dale is a three-dimensional tile-laying game in which you design a forested empire high in the trees and compete for the title of greatest architect. After the Great Disasters, a new chapter in Sylvan Dale history has begun. The Ancients have called upon you and your fellow architects to design a new forest realm—a refuge high in the embrace of the Great Trees. Lead the builders of Sylvan Dale as they construct dwellings, bridges, and hanging courtyards. Builders of Sylvan Dale, designed by Peter Ridgeway, is a unique 3D tile-laying game. Play a card and place a new home on top of increasingly taller trees in the forest. Collect sets of cards to gain special actions, such as building bridges or magically growing treetops. Make sure your homes tower high in the trees, above those of your rivals, and be forever remembered as the greatest architect of Sylvan Dale! The game is played in two rounds. In each round, each player has half of the tiles to place on the trees, trying to gain prestige and collect the most fame points. At the end of each round, the player who has the upper hand in each tree and each district the board is divided into is determined and the fame points are calculated. The player with the highest total fame points at the end of the scoring phase wins. Builders of Sylvan Dale promises to be charming and engaging for all types of players, both casual and expert gamers.

Lead one of Altay's Elderlings and confront the human colonists in your ancestral land. Decide whether to embrace their innovations or uphold old traditions as you expand your kingdom, cultivate knowledge, build monuments, or defeat enemies. Altay - Dawn of Civilization is a deck-building civilization game set in a mythical age. In a remote region of a vast continent, four mysterious societies have developed unique cultures over the centuries, maintaining a fragile balance. Now they face a new challenge: the influx of human colonists with advanced crafts and weapons. As the leader of one of Altay's Elder Races, you have the choice of how to respond to this challenge. The game board depicts a region where the four factions clash, each area characterized by different terrain types and resources. Players control one of the four factions, each represented by a unique starting deck, distinguished by the number of "basic" cards and faction-specific cards. During each turn, players use their cards to generate resources, build new settlements, expand across the board, perform maneuvers against opponents, or gain new cards to strengthen their decks, symbolizing the integration of the Elder races with the newcomers and their crafts.

In Brazil in the latter part of the 19th century and early 20th century, large landowners, called "coronéis", starved the northeastern part of the country in a vast area that included the Sertão Desert. In this climate of corruption and abuse, the Cangaceiros were born - bandits who violently challenged the ruling system. Cangaceiros is a strategic competitive game in which each player plays as a gang trying to survive in hostile desert areas while being hunted by the Volantes, the state police trained to kill them. Each gang has a leader chosen from the twenty available, each with their own unique skills and characteristics. Management of any seven-card deck is essential, with players using cards to gather resources, place bandits to guard a region, attack the Volantes, attack the prison of the city of Recife, convert accumulated resources into fame, train their leader and recruit new members for the gang. You win by collecting fame points, which are obtained by attacking the Volantes, but also by training your boss to solve his life purpose and help him retire in glory. You also gain fame points in several other ways, and whoever collects the most fame wins.
