In this cooperative game, you stack cards on a board while telling a short, crazy, funny and wacky story, all within 2 minutes. Then, together, you take on the challenge of remembering the story in the correct order. That's when the magic happens: surprises and laughter! Because with the help of all players, having a good memory has never been easier. Each card correctly remembered in order earns the players 2 points. If a player asks for help, the group still earns 1 point per card, which encourages teamwork and cooperation. Be careful, however, because a wrong guess results in the loss of 1 point for the group. The goal is to improve the collective score each time or climb higher on the success ladder. The basic rules remain the same in the different versions of Story Box, but each version offers a thematic Expert variant. In Story Box Dreams & Nightmares, the Dreams and Nightmares variant asks you to tell two stories simultaneously within 2 minutes, a dream and a nightmare in two different piles. During the memory phase, you have to remember both stories, which makes this variant challenging and fun.

In Neotopia, a competitive and fast-paced game, you will be part of a team of Visionaries building a futuristic pilot city focused on the Energy, Technology, Community and Sustainable Food fields. You build elements in the three regions of the city to complete patterns in your hands. A good combination of tile placement and map management can result in very impactful turns, completing multiple maps and further expanding the city. Interaction between players is important because all players build the same board and can benefit from what others have built in their previous turns. You try to build the most harmonious city possible, because that will be essential for your score: at the end of the game you score the regions where you have your two highest scores, but you triple the score of your lowest scoring region. So be alert! Even if it is tempting to build in regions that are more developed and where you have already scored a lot of points, if you don't start developing the other regions, you won't be able to win the game. Balance is the key word in Neotopia, as is the kind of future the players are trying to build.

The Caribbean classic with pirates is back! The harbor of Port Royal is more vibrant than ever and players need to find more sailors as quickly as possible. On distant islands they will recruit useful crew members and plunder treasures. A pair of dice puts them in unpredictable situations, and the more they risk, the further they can travel across their own map. In Port Royal - The Dice Game, players exchange their cards for dice and pencils, but the goal remains the same: hire the most skilled crew and seek your fortune on the open seas. They travel to nearby islands to recruit new crew members and gain their valuable skills, but if they push their luck too far, they could end up in Davey Jones' vault! Each round in Port Royal - The Dice Game has two phases: first the active player rolls the dice and the game board fills with different colored ship and ship wheel tokens. The more chips you can place the better, and you can roll the dice as many times as you like. But if the same ship appears twice and can't be repelled with the help of your crew, then it's a dark day - the player rolling the dice ends up empty-handed, while the others at the table can line their pockets. If the active player manages to stop in time, they can exchange tokens for actions on their own game board, allowing them to either reach new islands or gain first access to new effects. Who will manage to sail away from the other players?
