It is 1828 and the time for elections has come around again in this newly-formed democracy we call the United States of America. John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson are the candidates vying for the peoples votes. For the first time in history, this grand campaign is also fought on the pages of newspapers and the eager public audience. This was an election that found its way into history books with its yet unseen ruthlessness and malevolence. This was Americas first smear campaign. In this two-player game, you are trying to become the next President of the United States! To reach this lofty goal, each player will try to take Election tiles that suit you best and hinder your opponents campaign. Election tiles allow you to garner the allegiance of Electors and use the power of Smear Campaigns to skew the populace in your favor. If you also use the powerful Campaign Actions to your advantage and have the press look the other way, nothing should stand in your way! Gain the most votes by the end of the game and start your work as Americas 7th President! 2 players 30-60 minutes Ages 12+

In Riftforce, the two-player duel card game, each player starts by drafting four of the ten different guilds, each with a unique power, to forge their own asymmetrical alliance. Every game of Riftforce gives you a chance to discover new synergies between guilds which will greatly influence your overall strategy and strengths. Do you want to strengthen your position at the Rift, sacrifice elementals for powerful combo attacks or gather support for your next turn? 2 Players 20–30 Min Age: 10+

The Rival Networks is a standalone two-player version of The Networks. Much of the original`s gameplay is preserved, but streamlined so that it plays in 30-45 minutes. You and your opponent each have a display of 3 Timeslots, and at the start of the game, they show your starting 3 (terrible) Shows. There is also a Goal Card showing for the current Season, with 3 Goals available to hit (like winning a particular Timeslot, or having more Stars on your Shows than your opponent). On your turn, you will pick one new Show from a display of 3, and use it to replace one of your existing Shows, which moves to your Reruns. 2 Players 30-45 Min Age: 14+

Troubled times blight England since the good and just King Richard the Lionheart was captured in the Crusades. Meanwhile, Robin of Locksley is stealing from the rich Norman lords to free the King. In Robin of Locksley, you aim to collect loot tiles with your Robin and sell loot collections of the same color. Move forward on the racing track surrounding the 5x5 loot tiles by spending earned gold. Every field will give you a task to gather fame: You may fulfill the task, or you may spend one gold coin to pass it. Whoever first circles the racing track twice wins. This is a quick-playing game that can be enjoyed by everyone. The variable track setup means the challenges are different every time! 2 Players 30–45 Min Age: 10+

An unusual, complex, yet tightly balanced board/card game for two from the prolific Reiner Knizia. The original title, "Auf der Reeperbahn...," alludes to a popular German movie from 1954. Near the center of a 17-space track start the six game figures which the players compete to attract to their opposite ends of the board. You play as many cards of the same color on your turn as you wish, and much of the movement is a direct result of card play: e.g., by playing a red 4 you bring the red figure ("Rote Lola" or "Dancing Deb") 4 spaces closer to your end of the board. However, there are special tricks and restrictions which must be learned and held firmly in mind before the sense of the game begins to emerge. The central green figure ("Brilli-Lilli" or "Saucy Sue") which wins for you if the game ends with her on your half of the board, for example, can only move within the bounds of her "bodyguards," two grey figures. The yellow figure ("Blonde Hans" or "Handsome Hal") can summon, without benefit of a card played, any of these three figures to his square. The companion green figure ("Schampus-Charly" or "Champagne Charlie") which can also win the game if you get him into one of the two spaces at your end of the board (your "nightclub"), only moves toward you if the board situation at the end of your turn involves both bodyguards on your half of the board and/or one (or more) of the other figures in your nightclub. And so on. The game, part of the Kosmos two-player series, is one of attack and counterattack, defense and forward thinking, and can be won early or on the turn of the last card on the second time through the deck. At 10-20 minutes, it begs to be played again immediately. 2 Players 20-30 Min Age: 12+

Schotten Totten 2 features gameplay familiar to anyone who's played Schotten Totten, but with a few twists. This time, one player is the attacker who is trying to breach the walls of the defender, and players will assemble their forces by playing cards into formations at seven locations on the battlefield. Locations will hold 2-4 cards as depicted on each spot, and in most cases (but not all) the strongest formation in a location will claim that spot. The strength of a location is determined by the poker-style hands that players will create by playing cards one by one. The defender has three boiling oil tokens available to them to clear out the attacker's cards. The deck consists of cards numbered 0-11 in five colors, along with ten tactical cards. 2 Players 20 Min Age: 8+

The Battle of the Atlantic confronted the convoys, essential to the Allied war effort in Europe, against the wolf packs of Admiral Karl Dönitz. It would result in thousands of ships sunk and millions of tons of material that would not be used in World War II on the one hand, and on the other, hundreds of U-boats sunk by the escorts. In SCOPE U-boot two players recreate the tension of the Battle of the Atlantic. The German player will try to sink the merchant ships crossing the sector while performing a deadly dance of stealth and death with the escorts trying to sink his subs. SCOPE U-boot is a stand-alone instalment of the SCOPE system, being very different from its predecessor – the only similarities being its grid of cards forming the board and the many strategic possibilities it offers! In SCOPE Stalingrad we tried to guess where the rival sniper was, but in U-Boot the German player will be the one hidden under the surface and the Allied player will have to find him and avoid being sunk. Ships move on the surface, although freighters move more slowly. The submarine gives away its position when it fires a torpedo, but beware! You will have to choose as an ally whether you prefer your freighters to dodge it or move your destroyer to the area where the torpedo came from and sink your opponent. SCOPE U-boot has many game modes, with different levels of game complexity and duration. Select the scenario, create the card grid and jump right into the action! 2 PlayersPlay Time: 10–15 MinAge: 12+

SHAEF is a two player, card-driven, World War II strategy game covering the period from June 1944 to March 1945, by the acclaimed designer of the Quartermaster General series of games, Ian Brody. One player takes the role of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) – commanded by US General Dwight D Eisenhower – tasked with landing on the continent and advancing to seize key locations beyond the River Rhine. The other player takes the role of the Axis forces, tasked with bringing the Allied invasion to a halt. Gameplay is at army and corps level, with each turn of the game representing a full month of the campaign. The historical armies and corps that fought in the campaign are represented by counters on the board; lower echelon forces (such as divisions and brigades) are represented by cards assigned to the army counters. Other cards provide combat support and special tactics for each side. 2 Players 120–180 Min

Säännöt valmistajan sivuilta. A standalone two-player-only game that can also be used as an expansion for other Smash Up titles. Smash Up has turned the asylum over to the inmates yet again! After the success of Its Your Fault, we decided to let the fans choose the factions that would make up the latest set of Smash Up, and they went for some powerful choices! A huge field was whittled down to the top four, and here they are: Cowboys call out opposing minions for shootouts, Samurai face their noble end in battle to bring glory to their player, Ancient Egyptians bury secrets deep in the sands, while the Vikings well they just take other people’s stuff! Smash Up: Oops You Did It Again is fully compatible with all other Smash Up products, so get ready for Dinosaur Samurai, Cowboy Sharks, or Viking Kittens! Vikings The Vikings pillage and steal from their victims, including other players. The focus on making the most out of other people’s minions and actions, because clearly they aren’t using them well enough. Cowboys Cowboys introduce dueling. In a duel, two minions square off, comparing their individual power. However each player may play one card face down. If it is an action, it is resolved normally before the duel is finished, otherwise it returns to the player’s hand. So if you have a +X power action, you can turn the tide of the duel. The minion with the higher power at the end of the duel receives all the effects of that duel (per the card that started it). Ancient Egyptians The Ancient Egyptians were famous for burying things, and they bring that to Smash Up! To bury a card, you play it on a base, face down. They are considered “cards” but not a specific type and can’t be targeted as “minions” or “actions”. Any player may reveal one of their buried cards at the start of their turn, or when an effect allows it, triggering any effects upon reveal. Samurai The samurai were known for their prowess in battle and also for their willingness to seek the good death. Samurai in Smash Up not only fight for the win, they benefit their controller if they meet their end early. And Samurai also have the ability to create duels similar to the Cowboys, but with different results and effects.

Jackhammers chattering, trucks beeping, engines roaring, the sounds of construction are everywhere. Sprawlopolis is growing and YOU are in charge of it all. The last team of planners couldn’t cut it, so the city turned to your team, the best of the best. If anyone can turn this tiny town into a thriving civic center it’s you. In Sprawlopolis, 1-4 players work together to build a new city from the ground up. Using only 18 cards and a variable scoring system, the game is never the same twice. Each turn, players will play 1 card from their hand to the growing city, trying to score as many points as possible. Players will have to communicate and plan without revealing their own cards in order to most efficiently develop large areas in each of the 4 zone types. Watch out though, the city hates paying for road maintenance so each road will cost you points in the end. When all cards have been placed, the game ends and players see if they have met dynamically generated minimum score for their game. Can you meet the demands of the officials, work with your fellow planners and build the ultimate urban wonder? It’s time to find out! 1-4 Players 15-20 Min Age: 8+

Star Realms Legacy: Rise of Empire is a stand-alone legacy-style game in which your actions will permanently change the game, affecting future playthroughs. A Star Empire vs Trade Federation 13-game legacy campaign! 3 New Factions! Upgrade Cards! Compatible with all Star Realms sets! Perfect for new players and experts alike, this standalone 2-6 player game starts as epic 2-player, 12-scenario legacy campaign. When the campaign is done, Rise of Empire can be played again and again as a customized 2-6-player Star Realms set that is fully compatible with all other Star Realms sets. About Star Realms Star Realms is a fast-paced game of space battles that combines the fun of a deckbuilding game with the interactivity of Trading Card Game-style combat. As you play, you'll use Trade to acquire new Ships and Bases from a row of cards called the "Trade Row". You use the Ships and Bases you acquire to either generate more Trade, or to generate Combat to attack your opponent and their Bases. When you reduce your opponent’s score (called Authority) to zero, you win! Custom Starting Decks When you play the campaign, you and your opponent will each choose a faction; Trade Federation or Star Empire. You will play as that faction through all 13 scenarios. Decisions you make in early games will reverberate through the entire play experience! In the far future, the traditional governing bodies of the human race have been replaced with corporate leadership. Earth and its surrounding colonies (known as the "Core Worlds") are ruled by a group of corporations called the Trade Federation. The frontier of known space is continuously expanded with research expeditions and new colonies. Barren, airless worlds are transformed into lush hospitable homes for new generations of humanity. The vast wealth of the Trade Federation is concentrated in the more developed Core Worlds, and especially amongst the individual corporate shareholders on those worlds. While some decry this as "unfair", this profit motivation has successfully catapulted humanity to the stars. The Federation has brought order and peace to the galaxy. Battles do sometimes occur between colonies, but they know their dispute must end quickly, or the Federation fleet will end it for them. In the rare cases when a colony rebels, ships from nearby Federation worlds are rapidly assembled to put down the insurrection. Until the Star Empire's uprising, the Trade Federation ruled all of known space. As the Trade Federation player, your cards and upgrades will frequently grant you additional Authority (score), making you very hard to defeat. Every planet and station in the Star Empire, as in the rest of known space, started as for-profit ventures by corporations within the Trade Federation. The poor were promised a chance to earn their fortune on the frontier. Instead, they found a hard life or cold death on inhospitable worlds. After many generations of toil and terraforming, the Star Empire established strong infrastructure and the potential to prosper. A potential denied by choking levels of taxation. The Federation allows the Emperor to rule over his worlds, so long as their taxes are paid on time. The Emperor was tempted to fight, but he had seen how other rebellions were crushed by the combined might of the Trade Federation. So instead, he bided his time. Records were forged, production capacity was underreported, and slowly, over many years, a great fleet was built in secret. Now his fleet has grown so large that the risk of discovery outweighs the advantage of another day of preparation. Independence is declared! The Star Empire is born! Every bit of territory the Star Empire gains, the Trade Federation has lost. As the Star Empire player, your cards and upgrades will often force your opponent to discard cards from their hand, crippling their next turn! 3 NEW FACTIONS The Rise of Empire Trade Deck consists of three all-new factions! The Consortium, the Kingdom, and the Scavengers are star realms neighboring the Star Empire. The Trade Federation is trying to maintain order and keep these factions in the Federation, while the Star Empire is trying to convince them to join the rebellion! Consortium Situated between the Star Empire and Trade Federation's core worlds, the Consortium is the wealthiest and most developed of the Star Empire's neighbors. Many Consortium citizens are jealous of the riches of Earth and the Core Worlds, and could easily be convinced to rebel. However, others have strong trade relationships with the Federation, and could lose significant wealth and influence if ties were cut. Many Consortium cards provide trade, making them good purchases in the early game to build up your purchasing power. When you acquire Consortium cards, you may draw and discard cards. More expensive Consortium cards will let you draw without discarding, or even allow you to draw 2 cards and discard 1. Kingdom The Kingdom is a militaristic monarchy about as far from Earth and the Core Worlds as the Star Empire is. The Queen has no love of the Trade Federation and its taxation, but she is also wary of the Emperor. Does he truly offer independence, or does he simply hope to replace the Trade Federation as the Kingdom's overlord? Kingdom cards often provide combat when played, making them essential for destroying enemy bases and defeating your opponent. When you acquire a Kingdom card, you gain combat immediately. The more expensive the Kingdom card, the more combat you will gain! Scavengers The Scavengers are not a united star realm, but a loose coalition of salvagers, traders, smugglers, pirates, unsanctioned mining operations, and wildcat colonies. Their common thread is that they all eke out an existence on the fringes of known space. Most Scavengers' haven't paid a credit of tax in their life, and couldn't give a spent recycler about the Federation or the Empire. They do, however, like stuff. Credits, O2, precious metals, biomass, engine parts... every Scavenger has their price. Scavenger cards are flexible, often providing a mix of trade and combat. When you acquire a Scavenger card, you may scrap a card, allowing you to remove a weak starting card from your deck, so you will draw your powerful purchased cards more frequently. (No one is quite sure what the Scavengers' do with the scrapped cards... best not to ask.) Cheaper Scavenger cards will let you scrap a single card from your hand. Mid-cost ones will let you scrap a card from your hand or discard pile, and expensive ones will let you scrap 2 cards. Scenario Packs Each of the 12 Rise of Empire Scenarios has an envelope containing the materials and rules needed to play that game. There are also additional envelopes you will open at different points in the campaign. Scenario Cards After Scenario 1, each Scenario card has a Star Empire side and a Trade Federation side with different rules. You will use the side of whichever player won the previous scenario. Sticker Sheets During each game, when you acquire a card, it represents you convincing that ship's or base's commander to temporarily join your side of the war. If you want to sweeten the deal, you can offer to upgrade their ship or base with your technology, making it more powerful and able to better interface with your fleet's systems. In the game, this technology upgrade is represented by adding a sticker to the card, permanently changing it. (Or, if you are using the infinite replay kit, by swapping the card out with the upgraded version from the kit). You can only upgrade a card as you acquire it. It costs 2 extra trade to upgrade a ship and 3 extra trade to upgrade a base. (So it would cost 8 trade to acquire and upgrade the 6 cost Battle Hauler.) You must pay for the upgrade at the same time you pay for the card (before the next card enters the Trade Row). The upgrade sticker will add powerful new abilities to the card, but cover up its old ally and "When Acquired" abilities. You still get the "When Acquired" ability of the card as you upgrade it. The upgraded card becomes a dual-faction card. It will be both your faction (Trade Federation or Star Empire) and its old faction. You will apply the appropriate dual-faction icon from this sticker sheet: After this game is done, the card will go back into the Trade Deck with its stickers. It is permanently upgraded! It no longer has a "When Acquired" ability, but now it has awesome new Trade Federation abilities! Either player can acquire this card in future games, but the Trade Federation player will have an easier time triggering its ally ability as they have Trade Federation cards in their starting personal deck. Each player gets a new sticker sheet in games 1, 2, 3, and 4. If you complete a game's sticker sheet during that game, you win immediately! This is known as a political victory. You can also win by reducing your opponent's Authority to zero. Any unused stickers from previous games are available for the rest of the campaign. (But keep in mind you can only use one sticker per row, either the ship upgrade to the left of the cost or the base upgrade to the right of the cost.) You don't get a political victory for completing an old sticker sheet, but those upgrades are still powerful and can sometimes win you a game! Contents: * 22"x11" folding game board * 2 score dials * 15 envelopes * 10 sticker sheets * 17 oversized cards * 60-card Trade Deck * 20 Explorer cards * 6 starting decks * 4 sets of score cards * 24 Victory Point cards * More cards bringing the total to 254 * 8 tabbed dividers * 2 Foam Blocks * Rulebook 2 Players 20 Min Age: 12+

This expansion set allows you to play Rise of Empire WITHOUT using stickers. It also enables you to reset your Rise of Empire campaign over and over and play through as many times as you like!

This represents every possible ship and base upgrade that can be made in Rise of Empire! When you upgrade a card in the game, simply swap the non-upgraded card for the appropriate upgraded card from the Infinite Replay Kit.
