What you love most in life is bringing the joy of the sea to people all over the world. You own a small canning company on the coast of Spain where you make the best canned goods for everyone to enjoy. You are responsible for the entire process, from managing the boats that go out in the morning, catching the fish, and finally selling your canned products. You have special goals every month, but it's not always about making the most money. It is very important to have a sustainable impact on the sea: if you harm the ocean through overfishing, you will fail in your mission. Maintaining a balanced relationship with the sea is crucial as you work hard and continue to create the best conservas in the world! In each game of Conservas, you start each season with a single boat and some money. The sea is represented by a bag of tokens full of fish and water tiles. In each round you fish from this bag, taking some back to your facility for canning, while releasing others into the sea to reproduce. To win you must maintain a delicate balance between fishing and growing populations. Each month has a unique set of goals, and your sustainability goals are just as important as your financial goals. Each market is also unique with specific rules and strategies for making profits. With 12 different scenarios, random decks of boats and upgrade cards, each game will provide a different challenge as you grow your business.

"The Battle of Versailles" was a fashion show that took place in 1973 in Versailles, France, where five American designers competed against five French designers. The American designers, including Anne Klein, Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Stephen Burrows and Bill Blass, were considered more innovative and less traditional than the French designers: Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Emanuel Ungaro, Pierre Cardin and Christian Dior . The American designers ultimately won the competition and thus strengthened their position in the fashion world. The event received widespread media attention and is considered a turning point in the history of fashion. In the game "The Battle of Versailles", players take on the role of the team of France and the United States, who face each other by playing action cards to show off their best dresses, attract the most popular celebrities, or the to annoy an opponent by spreading gossip. They also compete to contribute more to the reconstruction of the Palace of Versailles than their opponent. The French player has five actions per round, which matches the classic but overly long show (2 hours and 30 minutes) they put on, while the American player only has three actions per round, because their show was fresh, innovative and short ( only 37 minutes).

Witchcraft! is a fast-playing, card-driven solo game where you lead a coven of witches in a fantasy world where magic is real - and so are monsters. Based on the hidden/revealed mechanic of Resist! you decide when to use magic to defeat the challenges you encounter. As you complete missions and defeat enemies, you try to prove to the villagers that magic is not evil and convince a jury that you are protecting the village. Three judges will decide your fate and their conviction is strong. Can you convince them? Or will evil conquer you and the village? At the start of the game you assemble a coven of witches from families of women, represented by a deck of cards. By selecting multiple witches from a family, you make that family more powerful. Each family focuses on different tasks in the game - revealing challenges, increasing attack power, discovering the judges' beliefs, or capturing familiars to help you in your battle. The battle is real and each of the eight judges faces a different villain. Is it the Headless Horseman, Baba Yaga, the Scarecrow or some other monster? The setup sees you choose three judges, their missions and their unique challenges - offering 56 possible combinations with great variety in the types of challenges and monsters you'll encounter. If you fail two missions or lose five villagers, you lose the game. Even if you beat the missions, you still have to go through the trial and you won't know your fate for sure until you reveal the conviction of the judges and see if you've done enough to convince them.
