The game features commodities such as coins and paper, which you get when a number is rolled to your city. You need these commodities to expand your cities in three areas to higher levels, with the ultimate goal of creating a metropolis worth no less than 4 points.

This determines whether you earn a development card or whether the barbarian ship comes closer. When the barbarian ship arrives on the island, the players must defend themselves with knights. Knights cost 1 ore and 1 wool and must be activated with a grain. Anyone who does not arm themselves properly can easily lose a city to the barbarians. However, if you have the most activated knights, you will be declared the savior of Catan and rewarded with a point. To win Cities & Knights, you have to collect 13 points. Cities & Knights is an exciting expansion to the base game that requires more strategy and planning. It makes the game a little more complex, but you get a lot of fun in return.

Will they succeed in unmasking the werewolves or will they accidentally eliminate innocent villagers? The game is controlled by a game leader. Each player is assigned a role. It can involve ordinary citizens and werewolves, but also special characters such as the witch, the hunter or the innocent girl. Each character does something special. At night, the game leader tells everyone to close their eyes and always calls up the characters, who can then perform their trait. The werewolves eliminate a civilian at the end of the night. When day comes again, the citizens discuss the events of the previous night in a meeting and they can try to eliminate a werewolf. But because the werewolves themselves also participate in the meeting, that decision is usually not easy… Werewolves of Wakkerdam is an ideal game for children's parties, camping events and basically all those moments when you are with a lot of people. Success is assured, especially if you manage to create a mysterious atmosphere with candles or a campfire. The Games Friends: “ The cards in our version of Werewolves of Wakkerdam are completely worn out and that is not due to the poor quality of the game material. No, that's because of the many, many games of Werewolves. As far as we are concerned, this is the perfect party game!"

Here's the Carousel token pack: a must-have collection for Blood on the Clocktower fans looking to expand their games with all the experimental tokens released so far. This set includes all the experimental characters we've released to date, allowing you to delve deeper into the ever-expanding world of Blood on the Clocktower . It also includes three token boxes, providing ample space to keep everything organized and ready to play. What is the Carousel? The Carousel is an experimental token set , a collection of physical tokens containing every experimental character released so far. This includes all the experimental characters from the Kickstarter Edition (with potentially updated abilities), but excludes characters from the base game, as those are not experimental. The term "experimental" means just that: we expect most abilities to be in their final form and will eventually appear in planned expansion scripts, but some are still subject to change. Many other experimental characters have not yet been publicly revealed. What is the Carousel not? The Carousel isn't an expansion in the sense of composite character sets released with their own scripts and design goals. This is different from the three core sets you already know and love, or the sets teased in the final pages of the main rulebook. The Carousel bundles all the current experimental characters into a single physical product. This allows personal players to access the same set of experimental characters available in Blood on the Clocktower Online . This way, everyone gets the same Clocktower experience while we continue developing the expansion scripts. What's in the Carousel? This product has been kept simple to create an affordable option for those who want these tokens sooner rather than later. There's no fancy display box, no scripts (as this isn't an expansion), and no physical almanac. What you do get are seven punch boards filled with all those shiny new tokens, including memory tokens and a few extra night tokens. There are also three specially designed token boxes, which (with a little careful planning) fit neatly inside the Grimoire. Note: We assume you know this, but the Blood on the Clocktower game is required to fully utilize the Carousel tokens. Unless, of course, you just want to look at the beautiful icon graphics.

The island needs your help in this cooperative board game! There have been powerful spirits on this isolated island since time immemorial. They are part of the natural world and at the same time something supernatural. Local residents, the Dahan, have learned to live alongside the spirits, but with a healthy dose of caution and respect. However, the island has now been “discovered” by invaders from a far away country. These would-be settlers take over the land and disrupt the natural balance, destroying the presence of the spirits along the way. As spirits, you must develop your qualities and work together to drive the invaders off your island before it's too late! Each round the spirits take action simultaneously, using their properties to push back the invaders, strengthen the island and help the local population, the Dahan. However, the spirits start small and limited, and must learn new tricks to compete with the rapidly advancing invaders, who, based on game-driven actions, spread across the island and build settlements, causing death and destruction along the way. sow. To win, the spirits (with the help of the Dahan) must destroy the invaders and chase away any survivors. However, the game ends in defeat if the island is overrun by the plague, if a spirit is completely destroyed, or if you act too slowly and cannot drive away the invaders in time. Are you a fan of cooperative games such as The Legends of Andor and Paleo, but are you looking for something a little more complicated and challenging? Then you might really like Spirit Island. The basic game alone is very variable with its many different spirits and random factors. Let alone if you also add some more extras such as concrete opponents and higher difficulty levels. Spirit Island is ranked incredibly high in the BoardGameGeek games rankings, so for cooperative gaming enthusiasts, the question isn't if you want to play it, but rather when! In Spirit Island you try together to ensure that the invaders do not overrun the island. Each round consists of 5 different phases, in which different things happen. Within each phase, the players play simultaneously, where they are allowed to discuss freely. Talking at the table is not only allowed, but usually necessary to win. In the spirit phase the spirits grow, gain energy and are allowed to play trait cards. In the second phase the players handle fast properties, in the third phase it is the turn of the game-controlled invaders. They send out their scouts, destroy the land and build various settlements. After they are ready, the spirits deal with their slow properties. In phase 5, the players prepare for the next round. At the start of the game, the invaders are at panic level 1. They are not afraid of the island and probably don't even know about the existence of the spirits. To win, you must completely clear the island of invaders. Earning Fear Cards will help you reach new levels of Panic with easier victory conditions. If you meet the current victory condition at any time, you win immediately. The invaders have then taken more than they can handle and all leave the island. You can lose in 3 ways: too much land has been destroyed, a spirit has been destroyed, or time has expired. Try to prevent that together and save the island!

In Mille Fiori you take on the role of glassblower and trader. You focus on glass production through workshops, trade and own houses. Whoever invests the smartest will score the most points and win this beautifully designed game. The Mille Fiori game board is divided into 5 different categories, each of which awards points in its own way. The five categories represent different phases in the world of glassblowing. Workshops are places where glass is produced. Houses are places where glass is used. Trading houses sell the glass and the port takes care of exports. There is also a category with people containing people who support your work. In each category you will find spaces where you can place diamond tokens, which score points. You get five cards per round. During a turn, you choose one of these cards and pass the rest to the player next to you. Based on the card you play, you place a diamond token in one of the categories on the game board. When four cards have been played and passed in this way, the last card is discarded and the round ends. In the “Workshops” category, you score one point for each token that forms a group with the newly placed token. If you place a token on a pigment field, this score is doubled. In the “Houses” category you get points for the field you place your chip on. If this spot is preceded by other tokens in your color, you gain the points from those tokens again. The “People” category is shaped like pyramids. The higher you place your chip in the pyramid, the more points you get. However, you may not place tokens on higher layers until those below have been completed. If you have already placed chips in one of the previous layers, they will give you points again when new chips are placed in the layers above. The “Trade” category has places for tokens, which show four different types of goods. For each token you place with a certain commodity type, you get points for all tokens of that commodity type. In the “Port” category you can move your ship on the harbor track instead of placing tokens. The further the ship goes, the more points you get. You can also place a token in one of the five rows of the port. Once a row is full, you get points for the goods placed in the “Trade” category next to the rows of the “Port” category. Each category has options to play additional cards from an offer next to the game board. By smartly choosing cards and placing chips, you can cause chain reactions for more and more points. When someone places the last chip from their own supply or when all the cards are gone, the game is over. The one with the most points wins.
