Hello, and welcome to Galactic Cruise. Here we offer our guests something special: the comfort of a luxury cruise combined with the innovation of space travel. As the first company to offer long-term space vacations, we are excited to have you join us! As a supervisor for this company, you will not only be expected to build these ships and delight our guests, but also to help grow the company by improving our network, developing new technologies, and expanding our workforce. We are a unified company, and you will often find that what another supervisor does makes your job easier. Let me be clear, though: this is a competition. Our current CEO is stepping down in three years, and the supervisor who has the most influence at the end will take his place. On your turn, you will deploy a worker to perform two actions in the ever-expanding network, launching a ship and sending one of your workers into space as a pilot, or recalling all of your workers to Earth to collect funding bonuses. Actions include acquiring blueprints, building ships, attracting guests, and developing connections between locations that increase your choice of actions throughout the game. You will also influence the resource markets, which rise and fall based on the actions of all players. When you launch a ship, one of your workers will join it as a pilot, navigating the ship to various destinations and “days in space” where guests will reward you for all your hard work. Throughout the game, you will also compete with your fellow supervisors to achieve company goals, which will earn you progress cubes throughout the game. Progress cubes are also placed when you launch ships, and when a certain number of cubes have been placed on the company progress track, the game ends and the player with the most Victory Points becomes the new CEO of Galactic Cruise. Do you still think you have what it takes to work for us? Yes? Great. Let's get started.

The first major expansion for A Feast for Odin, The Norwegians, contains a number of additions to the game, with new strategies and puzzle tiles. Revamped Action Board: The largest of the new additions, consisting of three double-sided pieces that can be flipped over to reveal different actions depending on the number of players. This opens up new paths to action and increases the chance that players will get in each other's way. The board includes new features such as slaughter, elk hunting, fishing, and theft, along with adjustments to some old actions. For example, it's now easier to play an animal strategy, as you can now get two of the same animal in one action. There's also a new fifth column of (better) actions that only require one Viking. For example, you can now forge a gray special tile with a sword value of 8 or less using an ore and just one Viking! Another brand new single-Viking action is to perform a "small emigration" with a whaleboat, which covers one space at the feast table instead of two, but yields 7 victory points and costs no silver. As a bonus, you can send two Vikings to this column instead of one, allowing you to play a profession card in addition to the action. The downside is that when you use an action from the fifth column, you can no longer place Vikings for the rest of the round. New puzzle tiles: A 2x5 rectangle (horse/pregnant horse/leather/vadmal) and 5 spaces in a "U" shape (herbs/pig/antlers/tools). The red versions of these tiles contain two new animals, horses (worth 6 victory points) and pigs (worth 1 victory point and breed every round instead of every other round), allowing for even more possibilities for animal strategy. There are also five new gray special tiles, such as a pan, chainmail, and anvil, most of which can be forged with ore. Four new discovery boards: Islands on the front (Isle of Man, Isle of Skye, Islay, Outer Hebrides) with Irish coastal Viking settlements on the back (Waterford, Wexford, Cork, Limerick), where people from Norway wintered, traded and settled. Also included are revamped versions of the four discovery boards from the base game, with updated iconography and some with adjusted victory points. New Buildings: A completely new idea is the random starting building. Everyone gets one of six double-sided “craft shed” boards, and when a player can build a shed, they can instead build the front or back of their craft shed. Like the Stone House and Long House, the craft sheds offer new spaces to place orange and red tiles to earn bonus trade, silver, and victory points, and many of these require specific tiles in specific places. This gives everyone a different starting option – just like the profession cards. Victory Point Tokens: Another new option is that when a player would play a profession card into play, the player can instead choose to discard the card for a victory point token, which is worth 4, 3, or 2 victory points at the end of the game. This adds a nice competitive element, as there are a limited number of 4 victory point and 3 victory point tokens.

Agemonia, een betoverde wereld vol magie, maakt haar grootste omwenteling door. Aardbevingen, vloedgolven, elektrische stormen – de catastrofale gebeurtenissen nemen toe en drijven de sterfelijke rassen naar de rand van oorlog. Wat zou dit te maken kunnen hebben met de heropleving van mysterieuze, oude apparaten? En wat betekent de naderende duisternis die reikt vanuit de schimmige poorten van de Breach...? Agemonia is een volledig coöperatief bordspel met uitdagende, morele keuzes, geplaatst in een uitgebreide verhaallijn voor 1-4 spelers. Leef je bestemming, en word de machtigste van onverwachte helden — of zelfs de meest verachtelijke van schurken — in dit onvergetelijke avontuur! Gameplay Naarmate je Helden het Scenario-bord verkennen, worden verhaalpunten geactiveerd die meer informatie onthullen over je omgeving. Deze kunnen nuttige uitrusting of schatten bevatten, nieuwe vijanden op de kaart zetten, of je Held de kans geven om een van hun vaardigheden te testen: Kracht, Behendigheid of Wil, door dobbelstenen te rollen en Uithoudingsvermogen te gebruiken. Uithoudingsvermogen gebruik je in de vorm van uithoudingsfiches, maar deze worden ook omgedraaid naar de wondzijde wanneer je held schade oploopt, wat de hoeveelheid beschikbare Uithoudingsvermogen vermindert. Elke beurt voert je Held een actie uit (zoals aanvallen, genezen of je vaardigheden versterken) en een manoeuvre (zoals bewegen, mediteren om kostbaar Uithoudingsvermogen terug te krijgen, of herstellen om je wonden te genezen), in willekeurige volgorde. Kies verstandig, want je keuze van actie beïnvloedt ook je beurtvolgorde voor de ronde, en het coördineren van je acties met je medespelers is cruciaal. Gevecht Elke Held heeft een of meer acties waarmee ze een aanval kunnen uitvoeren door dobbelstenen te rollen en uithoudingsvermogen te besteden. Aanvallen kunnen mêlee, afstand of magie zijn. Mêlee- en afstandsaanvallen vereisen een wapen, en een goed wapen zal een aanval versterken. Elke Held heeft een selectie van verschillende aanvallen om uit te kiezen die op hun heldenbord kunnen worden aangepast tussen scenario’s. Elke vijandelijke aanval heeft een vaste waarde en is gekoppeld aan een van de drie Heldenvaardigheden: Kracht, Behendigheid of Wil. De aangevallen Held moet de bijbehorende vaardigheid testen om te proberen de aanval af te weren. Schade wordt genomen door je Held's waardevolle uithoudingsfiches om te draaien naar de wondzijde. Te veel schade kan je Held verwonden, wat leidt tot een verwonding. Sommige vijandelijke aanvallen kunnen een negatieve conditie veroorzaken, zoals Bloedend of Verstrikt, die ze moeten overwinnen om hun heldhaftige daden voort te zetten.
