CloudAge is a strategy game by Alexander Pfister and Arno Steinwender. The award-winning authors have created a dark and dystopian world for 1 to 4 players. Fifteen years ago, the mysterious secret society "Cloud" set fire to numerous oil production sites and burned down large forests to destabilize the world. The resulting environmental disaster had disastrous consequences for the entire planet. Now, years later, you travel in your airships above the parched landscape in search of a better life. You visit cities, send out drones to collect resources and fight Cloud militias. An innovative sleeving mechanism enables a new, more immersive form of resource collection. Players try to predict which (cloud-covered) terrain will contain the desired amount of resources or where additional actions are possible. Resources allow players to develop useful upgrades for their airships or recruit new crew members. CloudAge is a mix of engine building, deck building and resource management. The campaign system makes it easy to get started playing quickly, as new elements are introduced into the game all the time. As you play, you experience and help guide the story. If you want, you can also play standalone story spin-offs as separate scenarios. The Games Friends: " Alexander Pfister has done it again. He has once again come up with a super cool game that plays wonderfully smoothly and offers enough variety. The ongoing story is a nice addition and keeps you coming back for a new chapter. A big, big tip! ”

The year is 1598 and you have settled in the center of France, in the city of Orléans on the Loire. Your goal is clear: to build the Cathedral of Orleans, and you must all do it together, because only together can you take on this challenge! The Cathedral of Orleans is a cooperative game for the whole family that is particularly suitable when adults and children play together. To carry out the actions, the followers who are already known from Orléans are used. But they come in two different bags and the question is always: which bag should I pull from to get the tile I want? You therefore also have to remember which tiles go into which bag at the end of the round. Consultation is not only permitted, it is necessary to work together to develop the strategy as effectively as possible. And time is always running out: the cathedral must be completed no later than the third round, because if a tile can no longer be placed on another action, it must end up in the bell tower and the round ends. Quite an exciting affair that can make even the shrewdest strategist sweat.

Remember Our Trip is a board game in which players create a map of a city they have visited together. After returning to your home country, you and the other players have come together to try to summon the map of Kyoto or Singapore (depending on which game board you choose). You must piece together the map's landscape using fragments of your memories, earning bonus points if your memory matches that of the motherboard and other players. In the game, each player has an individual image board, while everyone shares a common card board. Each of the game's twelve rounds begins with the unveiling of a "memory card", which shows one of six patterns that players can build on their image board using image tokens they draw up. Over several rounds, you collect image tokens side by side, and when you have the right tokens in the right shape, you suddenly "remember" the building that matches the shape and image, placing that building on the shared common card and scoring points. You can additionally score points for completing buildings with picture tokens that correspond to buildings that others have memorized, i.e., that they have previously placed on the common board. You remember that building now too! Each player also has objective cards and photo memory cards, and you can score points by satisfying them. If you can't fit all your image fragments into the game, you'll lose points for scattered thoughts. For more difficult play, you can use the 7x6 area on the Kyoto or Singapore game board instead of the normal 7x7 area.
