Pharaoh is dead and his burial barge is sailing slowly down the Nile to his grave where his spirit will stand before Osiris' judgment. Pharaoh had no descendants, so tradition holds that the country's governors must build monuments in Pharaoh's honor so that Osiris will favor his spirit in the afterlife. Accordingly, Pharaoh's successor will be the governor who builds the greatest tribute to the late king. Resources and workers are limited, the gods are fickle, and time is short; the memorials must be completed before the ship reaches the temple of Osiris at Men-nefer. Sailing Toward Osiris is a euro-style, worker-placement, resources management, project completion and no direct conflict game. Downtime is kept to a minimum via a single-action, round-and-round turn structure that emphasizes timing decisions and subtle strategies.

On November 9, 2009, the world marked the 20th anniversary of the end of the Cold War. That was the day that the most tangible symbol of the Cold War - the Berlin Wall - was banished to the ash heap of history. Unlike the other major conflicts of the 20th century, the Cold War did not end in an explosion of neutrons, but rather in an explosion of human freedom and optimism. We had avoided what many thought inevitable: the destruction of humanity by armed conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. Overnight, the face of Europe had changed. Suddenly everything was possible. That was 23 years ago now. Unfortunately, we have all learned that the end of the Cold War was not "the end of history." Humanity would find new ways to divide itself. As the threat of nuclear holocaust disappeared, newer and more sinister forms of conflict took its place. Where once superpowers stormed the world, decentralized networks and even individuals are now capturing the world's attention. This Deluxe Edition of Twilight Struggle attempts to capture the feeling of that earlier era. Twilight Struggle is a two-player game that simulates the forty-five-year dance of intrigue, prestige, and occasional outbreaks of warfare between the Soviet Union and the United States. Twilight Struggle utilizes the card-driven game mechanics pioneered in award-winning games like We the People and Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage, recreating the conflict between the most powerful nation states the world has ever known. The scope of the game covers the entire world as it was found in 1945. Players move units and exert influence in attempts to gain allies and control for their superpower. As with GMT's other card-driven games, decision making is challenging; How can you best use your cards and units with consistently limited resources? Twilight Struggle's Event cards provide coverage for a wide range of historical events, from the Berlin Airlift to the Vietnam War and the American peace movement, to the Cuban Missile Crisis. This Deluxe Edition of Twilight Struggle combines world-class components, with the kind of world-class gameplay for which GMT is already known. We can't think of a better way to commemorate this vital piece of world history. We invite you to illuminate an era with the words of one of the most iconic statesmen: "Now the trumpet calls us again, not as a call to bear arms, although we need arms; not as a call to battle, though we be in strife - but a call to bear the burden of a long battle in the twilight" - John F. Kennedy

Western Empires is not a war game, as it may seem at first glance. Yes, wars happen, but it is rather a game about history, culture, trade, development and... calamities. Players develop their own unique civilization in the fields of arts, crafts, science, civics and religion. Each player starts their civilization with one population token in 8000 BC, but it grows and grows over time and eventually cities can be built. Cities bring wealth and fortune, of course, but also... major problems such as epidemics, famine, earthquakes, pirate attacks and civil unrest. These riches and problems are expressed in trading cards. The more cities, the more cards a player receives. Trading is the basis of the game. A truly social experience, where all players trade simultaneously with each other for a limited time. If you end up with a problem card... then you have to suffer these problems. Build walls, give your citizens art, music and architecture. Developing religion, democracy, improving science... 51 different advancements can be developed in five different categories. Maybe you can even construct a wonder of the world, or spread your people across the map to gain cultural dominance. The player who best manages to cooperate, trade or fight for territory, defend his people against nature or enemies such as barbarian hordes and survive the test of time will ultimately win the game after 12 hours.

Dark Ages is a historically based game where you will build a civilization with an innovative action selection mechanism. As long as your action tokens remain on the board, you may be able to get secondary bonus actions when you or another player repeats the action. While Dark Ages features objectives commonly found in 4X games - for example, they encourage you to explore nearby regions, expand your territory, exploit resources, and wipe out your opponents - it does so with different mechanics that let you normally seen earlier in Eurogames. Collect resources from lands you control and use them to build your cities and fortifications. Some buildings offer you different ways to gain important benefits, while others increase your military strength or simply score victory points. As you expand your territory, claim noble titles, acquire new technologies and train your military units. Each region and leader offers asymmetrical choices with their unique abilities. Dark Ages actually consists of two games: Western Europe (subtitled Heritage of Charlemagne) and Central Europe (subtitled The Holy Roman Empire). While both versions have identical gameplay, each focuses on a specific part of Europe during the Dark Ages (western and central respectively). As a result, the game board cards differ between the two versions, as do the countries in which players compete for control and leaders of those countries. By combining both versions you can expand the map into an epic battle for five or more players! Each game box is filled with finely sculpted miniatures of towns, forts, farms and other buildings. The different types of troops - infantry, archers and cavalry - are represented by unique miniatures. The solo mode for Dark Ages was designed by Dávid Turczi.
