The game tells the tale of the majestic era of global discovery from 1492 (with the discoveries of Christopher Columbus) up to 1797 (the colonization of Tahiti). Each player is an explorer commissioned by a European nation who will, with the help of his team, explore, colonize and exploit the archipelagos. These colonial vanguards will be expected to carry themselves with diplomacy, meeting the needs of the locals while reaping the fruits of the New World. They must respect the archipelagos and their indigenous peoples because otherwise, the natives will revolt – and this could lead to a war of independence.

The boundaries between expansionism and humanism, between economy and respect for local values, between knowledge and industrialization, are not always obvious. The final balance of the archipelago depends on the will of the explorers, who will choose to make these island colonies happy and productive, or outrageously exploit the resources and drive the natives to chaos and rebellion. Additional care must be taken, for hiding among the players may be a separatist and a pacifist, both of whom will try to tip the scales toward either revolt or peace. You must be prepared to take on this task and explore the islands.

Archipelago is a semi-cooperative game that is rich in possibilities. Its extreme modularity ensures that you will always see a different game, simulating many likely scenarios of colonization. It combines exploration, resource management, optimization, cooperation, strategy, negotiation, corruption, trade, suspicion, alliances and betrayals, and even a dash of investigation.

Built for 2 to 5 players, it also breaks new ground by allowing you to choose the duration of your game – from 30 minutes to 5 hours! You can enjoy a short family game or long nights of exciting adventures, whichever you decide.

What story will your picture tell?
Dixit is the classic, simple, lighthearted game of storytelling and guesswork where your imagination unlocks the tale. Winner of the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award, Dixit invites you to use the gorgous, imaginative artwork on the cards to tell brief stories. Each round, one player selects a card from his or her hand, thinks up a sentence, and plays the card facedown, telling the others the sentence conjured by the card. The other players all choose cards that they think match that sentence and play them facedown. The cards are shuffled and then revealed. Players secretly vote for the card that best matches the narrator's story, and player whose cards are chosen score a number of points. Of course, the real victory in Dixit is not in amassing points, but in sharing a creative experience with your family and friends.

There is an old saying that every picture tells a story. Live the truth of that saying in the game Dixit, in which lovingly crafted pictures shape stories that you tell. Winner of the 2010 Spiel des Jahres award for Game of the Year, Dixit can be played with three to six players, and is suitable for adults and children, family and friends, and anyone with whom you share a common language.

In this game of imagination and creative guesswork, players take turns playing the storyteller, telling a brief story based on a picture card. As the storyteller, you select a card from your hand, play it facedown, and speak a word, phrase, or sentence represented by the picture. The others play facedown the picture card from their own hand which best represents, to them, what you’ve said. The cards are shuffled and revealed, and each player votes for the image that they think inspired the storyteller’s brief tale.

If all players correctly guess the storyteller’s card, everyone but the storyteller earns two points. If only a few players guess it, then they and the storyteller earn three points. In that case, every player, including the storyteller, earns a point per vote that their card received so that the most imaginative matches between pictures and words are rewarded no matter who made them.

As storyteller, you don’t want to exactly describe the objects and creatures you see in these surreal, fantastical images. You want your words to convey more abstractly, or perhaps personally, what that image suggests, so that other players may be as creative with the cards they choose as you have been with your words.

Most Rare Visions
The cards you’ll find in Dixit all feature original art that depicts fantastical, dreamlike situations. No picture is meant to signify any single phrase or idea, but rather each one is meant to spark a multitude of thoughts, words, and stories. You will find certain meanings that are particular to you in the image of a woman playing cello that seems to be her body. Perhaps it conjures the memory of a concert you recently attended with another player. Or perhaps one of the other players also has black hair, a brown dress, and a quiet smile. Perhaps what draws you most to that card are the children climbing the bars of the music that stems from the cello.

Seemingly simple images contain details that may signify any number of things. A burning candle, upon closer inspection, is not producing drops of white wax as you would suspect, but of red. It could be red wax, or even blood. The red might be the color of a car, or nail polish, the candle might bring up late nights spent writing, a winter night when the power went out, or the magic of a play that you saw. There are no right answers when playing Dixit. There is only your imagination.

As Light As Tales
Every aspect of Dixit is designed to be light-hearted, to encourage narrative and invention. The images on the cards are meant to inspire children and adults alike, to be jovial or serious. Players are represented by brightly-colored wooden rabbits who leap around the game board as you earn points. Since the journey is worth more than the outcome, the rabbits have no particular destination, and the game simply ends when all the cards have been played.

An ancient game of ornate skulls and dangerous roses, Skull is simple to learn but dangerously difficult to win. You must bluff, lie and pierce through the deceptions to expose the roses. Be wary, though – if you happen across a skull, the consequences are dire!

Players will hold three rose cards and one skull. Add a card to the pile in front of you, and when you feel lucky, announce your challenge and declare how many cards you will flip. Cards that show a rose are safe, but if you expose your opponent's hidden skull, you lose one of your own cards. Keep your cards to the bitter end to win this clever game of deception and perception!

FEATURES:
• Tricky bluffing game with deep tactics and strategy.
• Reinvented art to bring new life to this deceptively simple game.

Timeline: Classic is a card game played using 55 cards. While other versions of Timeline are focused on certain elements (events, inventions, discoveries, etc.), Timeline Classic is a highly engaging version that encompasses multiple themes in one convenient package.

Was the pencil invented before Washington crossed the Delaware? Each card depicts an invention on both sides, with the year in which that invention was created on only one side. Players take turns placing a card from their hand in a row on the table. After placing the card, the player reveals the date on it. If the card was placed correctly with the date in chronological order with all other cards on the table, the card stays in place; otherwise the card is removed from play and the player takes another card from the deck.

JFK’s assassination, The Salem Witch Trials, the last Crusade... Do you know in which order these events unfolded in history? If not, now’s your chance in Timeline Events.

Each card has a different event on it, and on the opposite side of the card is the date in history that it occurred. Players start with one randomly drawn card in the middle of the table to form the timeline, and on your turn, you place a card before or after it – depending on when you think this event took place. Leave the card in place if you are correct or discard it and draw a new one if you’re wrong. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins!

Timeline: Inventions is a card game played using 109 cards. Each card depicts an invention on both sides, with the year in which that invention was created on only one side.

Players take turns placing a card from their hand in a row on the table. After placing the card, the player reveals the date on it. If the card was placed correctly with the date in chronological order with all other cards on the table, the card stays in place; otherwise the card is removed from play and the player takes another card from the deck.
