A group of adventurers has just left town after clearing out a nearby dungeon. The townsfolk have worked up the courage to go see what valuable loot they may have left behind. An asymmetric grid of cards featuring different types of loot is laid out. The first player splits the grid along any single straight line between cards, claiming one set of loot cards for themselves. Each successive player can choose to further divide any pile in play. If another player has laid claim to the pile you choose to split, that player is "kicked off" that pile of loot and will take another turn. If turn order returns to you without you having been kicked off your loot selection, you keep those cards. Once everyone has collected their loot, and organized it by color, players draft a merchant card, each with different scoring mechanisms. Each merchant is assigned to a color of loot, with their scoring mechanism only counting towards the loot collected in that color. Players move to the next room in the dungeon (represented by a new loot card configuration being laid out) and repeat the process of cleverly splitting loot and looking to draft the most useful merchant. After 5 rooms of loot have been split, players score each color of loot based on the merchant assigned. Most points wins! 2–4 PlayersPlay Time: 30–45 Min

Waterfalls, cliffs, wildlife, foliage, snow peaks, and panoramic views populate the Alpine landscape. Lay out hiking trails with the most beautiful scenery! In SCENERY, players create hiking routes through hexagonal landscape tiles that have varying altitudes. To set up, create a market of face-up tiles, with each player having a compass token next to the market. Each tile has an height above sea level value (200-3500 m), one or more paths, and possibly a flower or animal. On a turn, take a tile adjacent to your compass, move the compass, then fill the empty space with a new tile; a player can't choose the tile at the back of their compass. You place tiles one by one into a personal landscape, trying to create walkable closed routes across 3-7 hexes, with the landscape tiles not differing too much in height based on the length of the route (so that routes are accessible to hikers). When you complete a route, take the highest valued route token for the size of the route, then mark each tile intersection on the route. Based on how your hexes are combined, you'll add waterfalls, cliff faces, and viewpoints, each of which scores differently. From a viewpoint, you want to see animals and flowers in the valley below, and a waterfall scores based on the number of route tokens at its base. Flowers and animals also score for route tokens adjacent to them. For variety, you can play with optional goals such as most unique animals, tallest waterfall, and most dead ends. 1–5 PlayersPlay Time: 20–50 MinAge: 9+

in West Story, players are building Wild West towns by purchasing cards for their player boards. They are trying to improve their available actions and get most victory points. While all actions from the player boards eventually get executed, the order of action execution is usually not easy to predict. Players will have to place cards carefully to try and maximize their chances! Every round, after a roll of two dice, all players execute two actions on their boards based on the roll result. Indicated actions get marked so that they cannot repeat until a reset happens. If in a subsequent round, the action in given row is already marked, player marks and executes the first available action to the right. When a row is fully marked, player removes all the markers from the row to start over! During the game, players are often allowed to mark and execute additional actions on their boards to get more resources and possibilities. Also, while players move along the score track during the game, they reach different regions with nearby towns. Trading with a town is another way of managing the tableau and scoring points, but sometimes, one will also have to face a villain! Once the game is over, the one who has collected the best set of cards with buildings, animals, and scoring symbols is the winner! 2–4 PlayersPlay Time: 50–100 MinAge: 10+

"Gold is the lifeblood of the war!" As the Hun horde swept across Europe, they forced the Germanic tribes into exodus. These warlike peoples spread within the borders of the Western Empire and, by dint of looting and war, will eventually cause the collapse of the Empire. In the twilight of antiquity and at the dawn of the Middle Ages, the so-called "barbarian nations" founded kingdoms on the former imperial territory. In Barbarian Kingdoms, an asymmetrical and competitive strategy game, each player controls their own nascent kingdom and competes for supremacy over Western Europe. The first player to control seven territories or to eliminate two opposing kings wins. On a turn, each player chooses and resolves a single action of their choice: Recruitment: deploy a warrior from the reserve by paying a cost Taxation: collect money from the provinces in their kingdom Assault: invade a province or attack an enemy unit Maneuvers: reposition their units in their provinces or towards the sea Claim: try to take control of a province by paying a cost Assault and claim actions can be immediately challenged by an opponent and resolved by a battle. During the battle, a bribe may be paid to the opponent to try to reverse the outcome. Players must be vigilant in positioning their forces (with the constraint of a maximum of one unit per province), keep an eye on their opponents, and take advantage of their two asymmetrical powers: that of their kingdom and that of their king. 2–6 PlayersPlay Time: 30–90 MinAge: 14+
