A train track, a runaway tram and a switch in the distance. Unfortunately, both tracks are busy, and a collision is therefore inevitable. The question is: which track do you choose? Deadly Dilemmas is a game full of black humor for 3-13 players. One player is the conductor and must choose which direction to take his runaway, murderous tram. The other players play their cards and argue to convince the conductor to spare their lives and sentence everyone on the other track to a gruesome death sentence. At their own trail they place benign creatures such as a lonely kitten that has just been adopted. they put a devilish character on the other track. Robot Hitler, for example. It is up to the conductor, as judge/executioner, to pass judgment on this Deadly Dilemma and decide which track will be murdered. The team that laid the tram rails that were saved wins the round! The game contains 500 cards, including the guilty and innocent track parts and cards with interesting plot twists such as 'his ghost will always haunt you' that make the dilemmas even more difficult.

Every summer, the city of Águeda, Portugal, transforms into a magnificent art festival, with colorful umbrellas hanging over the streets, decorated lampposts, murals, and other art installations throughout this picturesque city. In Águeda: City of Umbrellas, players take on the role of festival performers, decorating the city streets with their own colorful umbrellas to attract the most tourists. As a performer, you must balance requests from the city, shops, and tourists to create the most stunning umbrella display. Players choose tiles from a central board and place them in a row on their own street board. After placing their umbrellas, select one or two tourists and move them to one of your three rows of umbrellas to score that row. Careful placement of your umbrellas unlocks sections of your tourist card, adding more tourists to your pool for placement on your board. Once a player fills their board, the score for their umbrella arrangement is based on both the standard board scoring rules and the common "Shop" cards with various scoring objectives. Águeda: City of Umbrellas is a game for 1 to 5 players inspired by the real-life annual festival in Águeda, Portugal, called the Umbrella Project. 25th Century Games collaborated with the Umbrella Sky Project to create the game's box art, integrate their annual tourist maps into the game, and provide cultural consultancy.

King of Tokyo: Origins is a standalone game in the King of Tokyo series that is intended as an entry point for new players, as it is a smaller, more affordable set. The game features four new monsters, an assortment of new power cards mixed with older ones, energy cubes and green dice with yellow characters. The gameplay remains the same as in the original game: to win, you must be the first to score 20 points or be the only creature left. During a turn you roll six dice, which show the following six symbols: 1, 2 or 3 points, energy, healing and attack. Over three consecutive rolls, you choose whether to keep or discard each die to gain points, gather energy, restore health, or attack other players. When you attack and are outside of Tokyo, you hit whoever is in Tokyo; if you're in Tokyo, you'll hit everyone outside of Tokyo! If someone's health drops to 0, they are out of the game. (You can't repair damage while in Tokyo, and the only way to leave the city is to be attacked... which may bring you to the brink of death.) When you collect energy, you store it in cubes, which you can use to purchase power cards, which have a permanent or temporary effect.

You participate in a hot air balloon festival where the goal is to get higher than your opponents. Throw as many sandbags overboard as you can — and try to collect rockets too! — to send yourself higher and higher to win. Sandbag is a trick game where you have to avoid tricks, manipulate the trump and adjust your hand of cards. In each of the three rounds you configure your basket with two face-up cards; the most common suit among all players' cards is the trump suit. On each trick, players either play a card from their hand, a sandbag (to avoid winning the trick), or one of their opponents' face-up cards. During the round the trump card may change as the number and suit of face up cards are exchanged for reversed sandbags. Five rocket cards with negative points are in play each round, and you want to win these while avoiding the sandbag cards, because ultimately the player with the lowest score wins. Sandbag is a highly interactive trick game for 3-6 players that excels at higher player numbers!

In Rescue Animals you take on the role of a conservation specialist who rescues and protects endangered animals from all over the world! Each animal you rescue is worth a number of protection points that you score at the end of the game. By collecting pairs of animals, your conservation efforts will be rewarded with bonus points. The conservation specialist who has collected the most points wins. Each round, a number of endangered animal cards are placed face up in the center of the table, clearly visible to all players. After all players have had a moment to study the animals, the current Conservation Leader calls out: Ready, set, go! All players now start rolling their dice as quickly as they want. If some of the dice you just rolled match the dice requirements of the endangered animal you are trying to save, you may set them aside while you continue to roll and re-roll the remaining dice. At any point, once you have collected all the dice needed to meet the dice requirements of one of the endangered animals, shout loudly, "Save!" After you collect the animal, the other players continue trying to save one of the remaining endangered animals. New cards are drawn each round, offering players new challenges and more animals to save. Most cards show a dice requirement consisting of one black die and two or more white dice. However, some endangered animals have special requirements that must be met.

You and your rivals are surfers competing to collect the most points by catching the best waves towards the end of the game. You must maneuver around the blue jellyfish, take advantage of bonus points from matching surfboards and complete three unique objectives each game. At any time, three upcoming waves are visible to all players. Each surfer simultaneously chooses and reveals an energy card, ranging from 1 to 5, which they use to catch a wave in the break zone. The surfer who reveals the highest energy card claims the wave, adding it to their score pile at the end of the game. However, if there is a tie in energy cards, those surfers drop out, allowing the surfer with the second highest card to win the wave. Respect serves as a tiebreaker and is a valuable resource that players can earn and spend to obtain additional energy or surfboard cards from the beach, which grant bonus points. Winning a wave has its drawbacks: the used energy card is permanently removed from the game, depleting your energy supply, while other surfers throw away their spent energy cards but may be able to get them back later. This creates strategic depth in sometimes aiming second to save energy, earn respect or buy strategic cards from the beach. Surfboards obtained from the beach with respect points add bonus victory points for specific wave types, changing the value of certain waves as the game evolves. Temporary energy cards purchased from the beach can provide a crucial advantage in later rounds. Occasionally blue jellyfish drift into the break zone; players should avoid playing their lowest energy cards to avoid a painful sting, which can cost anywhere from 0 to -3 points. Low energy players can choose to rest to gain 1 respect and restore their previously discarded energy cards.

In Rafter Five you and your fellow players want to build the largest raft possible — but ultimately you want to be the only one who can get on it. To get started, stack the top and bottom of the box together to create a base, then place the five wooden raft beams on the starting card on top of the base. In one turn you lift a raft bar, place a raft card on the playing field, replace the raft bar and then place one of your treasure chests somewhere on the raft...ideally in a precarious position, because if someone else knocks this chest off , they must keep it in their stock. If a player collects five treasure chests from other players in their stash, they are out of the game! (You can knock off your own chests without penalty, but you'll make the game easier for everyone else.)
