Take on the role of the great leaders of the past to build your own Ancient City. Each player uses their gold each round to build tiles that grow their city's economy. A city that produces more food and trades creates more residents. Grow your city! There are 5 types of buildings, and each of them provides a type of resource that will allow your city to evolve from a simple settlement to the largest city in the world. If your buildings are completely enclosed from all sides, you have created a very well-planned city block. This will earn you a lot of points. To place new buildings in your city, you also need a lot of roads. Adjacent roads allow you to place buildings further on the map. This gives you access to natural resources, which, in addition to other benefits, also provide victory points. Just as important as the buildings are the monuments and wonder tokens. These give you a lot of victory points, but use up all your gold. Be wise in choosing where and when you place them. Each monument requires buildings, roads, natural resources, or even water nearby to place it. It won't be easy to place them in your city, but the benefits are great. If you run out of gold, your turn is over. Once all players have spent their gold, a new round begins and new buildings and roads are available to everyone. Ultimately, once a player reaches the maximum population limit, the leader of the best city in the ancient world will be the winner of World Wonders!

The construction of St. Basil's Cathedral is progressing steadily. The time has come to seek out the best specialists from each guild and apply their skills and knowledge to turn this monument into something that will amaze even the Tsar. It is necessary to send contractors to the farthest corners of Russia to stand out from the competition and achieve victory. Contractors is the first expansion of The Red Cathedral, the hit game from Shei Santos and Isra Cendrero in which players build Moscow's St. Basil's Cathedral and compete to make the most memorable contribution and win the Tsar's favor. The expansion is also illustrated by Pedro Soto and Chema Román, two artists inspired by the work of Ivan Bilbin, the Russian artist known for his majestic representation of Slavic folklore in his works. The Red Cathedral stands out among recent games for its original rondel mechanism and has captured the hearts of thousands of players around the world. The expansion comes in a box with almost as much content as the original game and takes the experience to another dimension. In Contractors we find 10 new guilds that can be combined with those from the base game, 6 additional blueprint cards and a new card for solo mode. Many of these new guilds use the Contractors module, which includes a new board with a map of Russia. You will send the contractors throughout Russia to recruit the talent of the country's best specialists and craftsmen to help build the cathedral. As in the original game, each of these guilds contain 3 different maps, one of which can be included in the game per guild, meaning Contractors offers 30 new ways to play The Red Cathedral. Some other highlights include a black die that can be used in addition to the 5 existing dice to obtain resources, diamonds that serve as a wild-card form of resource, and the contractors, which are Kozak meeples that add an element of worker placement to the add game.

In the Habitats game, each player builds a vast wildlife park without cages or fences. The animals in your park need their natural habitats: grassland, shrubs, rocks or lakes. For example, the zebra needs a large area of ​​grass and some adjacent water, while a bat needs rocks, bushes and water, a deer needs bushes and grass, and a crocodile needs mainly water. There are snakes, baboons, bees, elephants, otters, lizards, turtles, eagles, meerkats, scorpions, boars, catfish, rhinos, and so on, each with their own landscape requirements - a total of 68 different animals. Each player starts his individual park with an entrance tile and is represented on the animal tile market by a meeple. On a turn, a player takes the tile to the left, right or in front of him, moves his figure to the space just vacated and then draws a tile to place it where his figure was at the beginning of the turn. When adding an animal tile to your park, you also add the main landscape - the basic tile for the animal - to your park. While placing this new animal, your own piece of landscape can help fulfill the demands of other animals, for example the water on a hippo tile meeting the water needs of the adjacent otter. Thus, it becomes increasingly difficult to meet every need of the land of all animals as you add more tiles. In addition to expanding your park with different landscape types, flora and animals, you can improve its profitability by building additional access roads, hiking areas and observation towers. Habitats lasts three seasons, with each player receiving 6-9 new tiles for their park in each season. Whoever best meets the season goal will receive bonus points, with a smaller number of points for second and third place. At the end of the game, each player scores for each tile in their park based on whether that tile's requirements have been met. Whoever scores the most points wins!

Autumn is not the best time to climb a scaffolding in Moscow, but it is still much better than doing it in winter. Tsar Ivan wants to see results and our team will prove to him that we are the best builders in town. We will surely finish those decorative arches with the most glittering stones and secure our place on the list of the government's trusted workers. Sheila Santos and Israel Cendrero make up the game designing duo known as Llama Dice. To date, they have released several titles with various Spanish publishers (1987 Channel Tunnel, Mondrian, Smoothies), and The Red Cathedral is the first game they published with Devir. Pedro Soto (Holmes, Sherlock & Mycroft, Papua) and Chema Román (El mundo de Águila Roja) created the game's graphics, with a great tribute to Ivan Bilibin, an iconic Russian artist from the early twentieth century. Despite being from a much later period, his influence is very recognizable in the game. The Red Cathedral is a strategic board game in which players take on the roles of construction teams. Their task is to jointly set up St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, as ordered by Ivan the Terrible. However, only one of them will be able to win the Tsar's favor. During the game, players can perform one of three actions: allocate a section of the cathedral, send resources to that section to build it, or move to the game board to obtain more resources. Each of these actions has its own mechanics and requires players to keep a close eye on what the other players are doing. Once the sections of the cathedral have been assigned, players take possession of the spaces in each column that form their section. The more sections are built and the more towers are added to each section, the more points the player will receive at the end of the game. The players can send resources to the cathedral sections they have claimed. When they complete each of those sections, they receive rewards in cash and prestige points. They can also add decorations to the finished areas to gain even more recognition from the Tsar. This part of the game also works like clockwork, as once a player completes the construction of their sixth section, the game ends. The game board shows us the iconic rondel of The Red Cathedral. Here the players can obtain all the necessary types of resources to work on their work on the cathedral, as well as favors from the guilds and professionals to make the most of their visit to the market. In the central roundel, players choose the die they want to use and move as many spaces as are shown at the top of the die to obtain the resources indicated in the space indicated by the die. The Red Cathedral is a very accessible game in terms of rules, as it is very easy to understand the different levels of the game, but it remains very interesting in terms of strategy. It will certainly please those who are more interested in the challenge of strategically optimizing their position in each game than in the complexity of the rules.

In "On the Underground: Paris/New York" players build the Paris Métro lines or the New York City Subway lines. Each player controls 2-4 different lines depending on the number of players. During each turn, four destination cards are available that correspond to stations on the map. You can perform up to four actions; building rails by placing one of your track tokens on the board or taking a branch token. A player can use two branch tokens to branch off an existing line (whereas lines can normally only be expanded at the ends). After each player's turn, a passenger token is moved along the players' lines, using as little walking as possible, to reach one or two destinations determined at the start of the turn. Destination cards corresponding to the stations visited are then replaced with new cards, after which it is the next player's turn.

“Take a Seat” introduces an innovative mechanic called Share & Write, where the randomness is created through player interaction (rather than with a die or a card). On each turn, players are given a panel and must decide whether to use the usher's ability or receive points directly. They must then mark a reservation on the board to their right or left (depending on the turn) by scratching one of the 4 tickets from the reservation panel. Finally, they must assign seats in the theater by marking the perimeter and circles corresponding to the selected pieces in the previous step. The game lasts 14 turns. Once it's over, move on to the final score. There are 3 areas to score points: goal cards, reservation majorities and an usher bonus. Players add all points together to get the total score. The player with the highest score wins the game.

Put down your drinking horns and buckle up your swords, it's time to go through some dungeon adventures in Tales from the Red Dragon Inn! A new cooperative board game for 1-4 players from SlugFest Games! In Tales you take on the role of one of the famous characters from The Red Dragon Inn series, as they go about their day jobs.

Each scenario takes you to a new map, with new enemies and even a few tricky puzzles to solve. You must work together with the other players by equipping hero and item cards to support your allies who have their own unique skills and roles. Each scenario has specific objectives, so how you and your group defeat each objective varies from "kill all enemies" to "survive X turns" to "protect this thing until something happens" to "get into this room." All players win the scenario together by completing the final objective of that scenario. They can also lose all together if one of them is defeated in combat, or in the case of many scenarios, if the enemies complete their own AI-controlled objective.

Philosophy is a relaxing, abstract two-player game. In this game you and your fellow player are two friends having a conversation. The board represents your conversation space, and your pieces represent your ideas. The aim of the game is simple: connect 3 of your ideas in a row somewhere on the board. This is called a Conclusion. You will take turns placing your ideas on the board, with the restriction that new tiles can only be placed in the nine central spaces. Each tile has a space it will face with a unique effect. When placed correctly, a player's tiles can push or pull the opponent's tiles. Moved tiles can also push adjacent tiles or even enter the target space of the current player's previously placed tiles, causing chain reactions. Tiles that are eventually pushed off the board are returned to the player who owns them. The game ends when a single player has reached a Conclusion: three of their tiles connected in a line, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Philosophy often feels more like a puzzle than a competitive game, as the state of the board becomes more complicated and changes between turns. The soothing theme, simple mechanics, tough decisions and high-quality production come together to deliver a high-quality experience for avid players and casual players alike.

In Town 77 — located just down the road from Town 66 — residents can't stand seeing houses of the same shape or color next to each other. Try to build as many houses as possible, but keep in mind which houses in your hand can be built at the end. In Town 77, each player has a hand of tiles, with each tile showing one of the seven house styles in one of the seven colors/patterns. (The color/pattern of a tile is also visible on the back.) The game contains a total of 49 tiles, one for each possible combination. Each player starts with a random hand of tiles. The first player places a tile in the top left corner of an imaginary 7x7 square. Then each player adds a tile in his turn to a row or column in this square, as long as this tile is adjacent to at least one other tile and the color/house style is not yet present in this row and column. After playing a tile, a player can choose whether or not to draw a new tile. Once you reduce your hand size, you cannot increase it anymore. If you cannot play a tile on a turn, you are out of the game. Once everyone is out of the game, whoever has the fewest tiles in hand — or who played last in the event of a tie — wins. If you play your last tile you win, but if you don't draw any new tiles you risk not being able to play anymore!

Players in Tiger & Dragon draw tiles from their hand to participate in waves of attack and defense. Be the first player to clear their hand to score points based on one of the ten score cards used in this round. The game contains 38 tiles: 36 numbered tiles with one 1, two 2's, etc. up to eight 8's, along with a tiger and a dragon. Shuffle the tiles face down, then each player takes tiles based on the number of players, with the starting player taking one additional tile. For example, with four players, the starting player takes ten tiles and all other players take nine. At least one tile remains out of play. The starting player attacks by playing a tile from their hand. The next player can choose to either pass or defend the attack by playing the same tile. Note that the dragon defends against every odd numbered tile and the tiger against every even numbered tile. After defending, you place your own tile to attack. If a player passes, the next player can either pass or defend. If all other players pass your attack, place a tile from your hand face down and then choose a new tile to attack again. When attacking with the dragon or tiger, a player can defend with any odd- or even-numbered tile, respectively. The first player to empty their hand wins the round and scores points based on the last tile they played and the specific scorecard for that round. They get 1 bonus point for each time their attack remained undefended. At the end of a round, if a player has scored 10+ points, they win.
