It's 1947 and you're part of Hollywood's booming film industry. However, the suspicion is that there are communists in your small production studio who are putting "unpatriotic" messages, themes, props and text into your films! Can you find all the communists before your studio is closed down? Or are you yourself suspected and banned from the industry? In the game, each player is secretly a patriot, communist or rising star. Each round, each player has a unique job to perform (such as Screenwriter, Director, Actor, Editor, etc.). These courses influence the type of film that is made that round, which cards the players hold and who receives special information. Players can choose to skip their assignment and instead re-roll two dice in the game. At the end of each round, players with a star on their die may add a card to the film. The added cards are shuffled, one is removed and the rest are revealed. The team with the most symbols (including the symbols on that round's movie poster) wins the round! Indicate the winning team for the round by placing that team's matching film strip on the movie poster. The first team to win 4 rounds wins the game! The Rising Star plays both ways by trying to make the game last 7 rounds and have the 7th round be a draw. Hollywood 1947 is a social deduction game. You should never show your cards or loyalties to anyone, but you can say whatever you want about the cards you put in a movie, or about your true loyalties. An open discussion about what cards you put in a movie is encouraged. However, if you are a communist or a rising star, lying will often help you achieve your goal because the majority of players will be patriots. That's all. Most players get the hang of the game after just a few minutes. So let's make movies, but be careful who you trust! Hollywood 1947 is the 5th standalone game in the Dark Cities series from Facade Games. Previous games in the series include Salem 1692, Tortuga 1667, Deadwood 1876 and Bristol 1350.

Catacombs is an award-winning cooperative board game set in the fantasy world of Cimathue, and you'll need skill and dexterity to master this fast-moving game. One player (the Guardian) leads an army of monsters, while the others choose from six courageous heroes as they embark on a quest to save the city of Stormtryne from the threat lurking in the catacombs below. As the heroes explore, they must use their skills, purchase items and recruit allies to help them defeat the monsters before facing the powerful Catacomb Lord and saving the city. In Catacombs, players flick wooden discs that represent the monsters and heroes. Contact with an opponent causes damage, while projectiles, spells, and other special abilities can cause other effects. Once all the monsters in a room have been defeated, the heroes can move further into the catacombs. Items and equipment upgrades can be purchased from the Merchant with gold obtained from defeated monsters. The Catacomb Lord is the ultimate threat that the heroes must defeat to win the game. On the other hand, the Supervisor wins if all heroes are defeated. This third edition of Catacombs features all-new artwork compared to the previous editions, but most importantly, the key words from the first two editions have been replaced with iconography, the terminology has changed, and the third edition has new shooting actions, new card effects, and a different assortment of parts (with many stats changed), as well as wall parts not present in previous editions.

This tactical game from the author of Carcassonne has been developed in collaboration with 999 Games into the board game for you!

It was previously published as Mesopotamia and has since been further developed by 999 Games and the author himself into an accessible tactical game for the whole family! In Exoplanet, players try to score victory points by exploring the planet with their team and delivering metal tokens to the city tile.

Drawing action cards can provide additional benefits and ensure that you stay ahead of the competition. You can also discover new animal species, which will give you extra victory points. Each building construction gives you more victory points. As soon as all available spaces on the city tile are occupied, the game ends immediately. The player with the most points wins. On your turn you have 5 action points at your disposal, which you can use in different ways. For example, you can move your scouts, who may be able to discover new terrain or pick up building materials. You can also choose to investigate the value of metal tokens or draw action cards. After spending your action points, you may build if you meet the conditions. Finally, you collect energy with scouts near solar panels. That energy is needed to deliver metal tokens to the central tile, which will ultimately earn you the most points and win the game!
