In Underwater Cities, which lasts approximately 30-45 minutes per player, players represent the most powerful brains in the world, brains nominated from the Earth's overpopulation to create the best possible and most livable underwater areas. The main principle of the game is placing cards. Three colored cards are placed along the edge of the main board in 3 x 5 boxes, which are also colored. Ideally, players can place cards in slots of the same color. Then they can take both actions and benefits: the action depicted in the slot on the main board and also the benefit of the card. Actions and benefits allow players to absorb resources; building and upgrading city domes, tunnels and production buildings such as farms, desalination equipment and laboratories in their personal underwater area; to move their marker on the initiative track (which is important for player order on the next turn); to activate the player's "A cards"; and to collect cards, both special and basic cards that provide better decision-making options during play. All almost 220 cards - whether special or simple - are divided into five types depending on the way and time of use. Underwater areas are planned to be double-sided, giving players many opportunities to gain VPs and ultimately win.

Charles IV is crowned King of Bohemia and ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. From his castle in Prague, he oversees the construction of new fortifications: a bridge over the Vltava River, a university and a cathedral. Prague is already one of the largest cities in Europe. King Charles IV will make it the capital of the empire! In Praga Caput Regni, players take on the role of wealthy citizens who organize various construction projects in medieval Prague. By expanding their wealth and participating in construction, they gain the king's favor. Players choose from six actions on the game board. By using these actions you can increase your resources, improve the power of your chosen actions and build "New Prague City", the Charles Bridge or city walls. You may be able to receive additional promotions or even contribute to the construction of St. Vitus Cathedral. The Games Friends: Praga Caput Regni is a wonderful game. You don't have extremely many turns to carry out all your plans, so you really have to make choices. The advantage of this is that you can try something different every game. In addition to the high variation, the artwork and material are also beautiful. We are fans!

Messina 1347 takes place during the introduction of the plague epidemic (also known as the "Black Death") and the spread of the infection through the city. During this period, merchant ships delivering luxury goods to Europe brought an unprecedented epidemic to these countries - and one of the first cities affected was Messina, Italy. In the game, players take on the role of important Messina families who leave the city and move to the countryside for fear of being infected by the plague. As they do this, they focus on saving other residents and helping combat the plague infection in the city. They must also try to thrive in their rural hometown, where they temporarily host rescued residents. They all wait there until the epidemic is over, and then return to Messina to take over and dominate certain neighborhoods of the city. The Games Friends: "Messina 1347 is once again a masterpiece by Vladimír Suchý. The theme is well implemented and there is a high replayability because the tiles are positioned differently each time. In our opinion, together with Praga Caput Regni and Underwater Cities, this is one of their n best games!"

"Quick to the ship! Twelve houses from our city have already burned down!" In Evacuation, life on our planet is being wiped out by the increasingly intense solar radiation, so everyone is trying to move all the people and factories in their areas from the "old" planet to a new one - and they have only four rounds to do so. You start the game with a fully functioning economy, and throughout the game you must dismantle and move that economy. Income on the old planet decreases over time, and production probably won't be much better until you establish yourself on the new planet and get things going. Resources cannot be mixed between the planets, so you must pay special attention to your planning. To do this, you choose actions from the player board, with the expert variant adding cards that allow you to choose and combine additional actions. Each action has its own value, and the sum of these actions is important for a bonus at the end of the round. Additionally, players move their markers along the planet's orbit based on the value of their actions. If you can increase the production of three resources to level 8 and have three virtual reality machines on the new planet, you win. Otherwise, players compare their scores after four rounds. Evacuation contains modules to add new play options.

We are in the 19th century, sea transport is becoming increasingly important. Both companies and naval units need increasingly newer ships. Try to put yourself in the role of their manufacturers. Hire employees, buy accessories and gain favor with the review committees. Don't forget to rent a dock and weigh anchor. Players take turns, starting with a random player and then moving around the table. In turn, they choose one of the available actions from the Action Track. The action gives the player something they need to build their ships. On the player's next turn, they advance that Action card over all the others and choose a different action. When a player completes a ship on their turn (ships consist of small cards depicting bows, stern and (preferably multiple) center sections, with various options to add equipment or crew), it is launched for a sea trial in the channel, where they can score points for speed, crew, equipment or safety. As players take their turns, the row of Action Cards slides around the Action Track. When the leading Action card returns to the Starting position, the countdown marker moves down one space and play continues. The game ends when the countdown marker reaches the end position. (It can also end early if the players run out of Ship Cards.) Bonus points are scored for Government Contracts, and the player with the most points wins. The game takes approximately 30 minutes per player.
