K2 is the second highest mountain on Earth and the second deadliest. It's known as Savage Mountain because it kills one person for every four who reach the summit... And K2 has never been climbed in winter. Now your team stands in the shadows, ready to rise to fame and glory. You know the dangers of K2 all too well. Extreme weather with frequent and deadly storms, exposed, steep, difficult routes and lack of oxygen await you on your way to the top. You test your climbing skills to death, trying to outsmart the ever-changing weather and always worrying about the acclimatization of your 2 mountain climbers. There are also the other teams ready to take the honors for themselves. K2 is a board game in which each player controls a team of 2 mountain climbers, trying to climb to the top of K2 and return before the other players' teams and before the mountain kills them. Each player uses an identical deck of cards. You use the cards to move your climbers on the route depicted on the game board or to acclimatize the members of your team. You can also pitch a tent and wait for better weather. You will have to choose your path carefully as the other mountaineers may block your way, and you will have to watch carefully for the upcoming weather which can reduce your acclimatization to 0, killing your climbers. K2 is a hand management game for 1-5 players, with strong interaction and a low luck factor, that can last up to 60 minutes. The theme is very well represented by the mechanics, including elements such as changing weather, lack of oxygen and the death of the mountain climbers. The result is an exciting match for gamers and non-gamers alike. The box includes a double-sided board with two different routes to the top (easier and harder) and two sets of weather tiles (for summer and winter). The Games Friends: " K2 is simple in terms of rules, but certainly not in terms of tactical choices. It often happens that one of our mountain climbers does not survive, also because the weather at the top can be quite bad. Yet this is simply a wonderful game for once in a while! ”

It's a Wonderful Kingdom is a standalone solo or 2-player game set in a Low-Fantasy universe. Inspired by the core mechanics of its predecessor "It's a Wonderful World", this new game offers more interaction, a bluffing mechanic and new challenges. The game is played using modules, each different and with mechanical twists. Each game, players choose one of several modules to compete against each other. The game is divided into 4 rounds. Each round has 3 phases. 1 / Split and fall Players take turns placing their cards in two piles in the center of the table. A player takes 2 cards from his hand and places them on the same pile or divides them between the two piles. The other player chooses a pile. This step is repeated alternately until the players have placed all the cards from their hands. Furthermore, each player has 2 traps that can be used to place face-down cards. 2 / Plans Each player chooses, from the cards he has collected, which ones to build and which to recycle to speed up development. 3 / Sequential production Each player produces the resources of his Kingdom in a sequential manner. Because the resources are produced in a certain order, it is necessary to anticipate the sequences to optimize production and development. At the end of the 4th round, the player with the most victory points wins the game. The Games Friends: It's a Wonderful Kingdom is, in our opinion, even more fun than It's a Wonderful World. The new mechanism for selecting cards works smoothly and is a bit more tactical and the modules are also a nice addition. Just a very good 2-player game!

Take a garden trowel, grow pea plants and become a master geneticist! Gregor Mendel was a 19th-century Augustinian who is called the father of modern genetics. In Genotype you are one of his assistants and you battle to collect experimental data on pea plants. You do this by determining how the plants inherit their most important characteristics: seed shape, color of the flowers, color of the stem and height of the plant. The observable properties of a pea plant (the phenotype) are determined by its genetic composition (the genotype). The relationship between genotype and phenotype and the nature of genetic inheritance are at the heart of Genotype: A Game of Mendelian Genetics. During the game you are given pea plant cards showing a series of phenotype traits that you try to produce and collect (such as pink flowers and a tall plant) to score points. Each round the dice are rolled to determine which plants are grown. This can create the properties you are looking for. Then each player takes turns choosing a number of dice to complete their pea plant cards or further their research. The traits produced during dice rolling are essentially based on Punnet squares, with the parent plants passing on one gene at a time. By changing the genes of these parent plants, players can increase the chance of rolling the desired traits. Rolling dice to complete pea plant cards is the main way to score points in this game. The difference between the standard version of Genotype and this deluxe version is the material. The deluxe version includes wooden game materials, metal coins and glass markers.
