In a distant future, scientists were able to build small alternate Earths. Exactly 504 such Earths have thus far been built. The scientists programmed each of these Worlds with an individual set of laws and rules which the residents strictly follow and consider most important for their lives. These may be exploration, consumption, economics, military, etc., and each is unique. You can visit all of these 504 alternate Earths to experience how the people are living, and decide which of these worlds harbors the best civilization. On which World do you want to live? Explore them all and decide!

504 is a game that creates 504 different games out of one box. The game consists of nine modules:

Module 1: Pick-Up & Deliver
Module 2: Race
Module 3: Privileges
Module 4: Military
Module 5: Exploration
Module 6: Roads
Module 7: Majorities
Module 8: Production
Module 9: Shares

In each single game, you take three different modules from the nine available and assemble them in any order you like to create a new game. For example, you can play:

a racing game that expands through exploration with technology improving the racing or exploration (World "253").

an 18XX-style stock game with network building for income and production sites to provide workers for the road building (World "968").

a war game with a pick-up and deliver economy and bonus scoring from majorities ("World 417").

Each single game takes from 30 to 120 minutes to play.

The city is bigger than ever!

Storyline
After a devastating war, peace is declared among all the major races of the galaxy and an Alliance is created. One of the first decisions of the newly formed Alliance, is to build massive space stations all along the galaxy in order to promote trade among the races, strengthen diplomatic relations and help protect the newly established peace.

Each player takes the role of one of those races, trying to build the best space station. The game is played over 4 rounds, each comprising 6 turns. At the end of the game the player who has built the most efficient Station and has scored the most points, is the winner.

A card drafting game for 2-4 players by Vangelis Bagiartakis.

Among the Stars: The Ambassadors introduces ambassadors with the addition of a fourth action that allows the players to invite them to their station and make them part of their Council. Each ambassador comes with a different ability, based on his race's strengths and capabilities. However, there is limited space in each player's Council so they have to choose wisely who they are going to invite. Among the Stars: The Ambassadors greatly increases play interaction into this already exciting and tense game!

Among the Stars: The Ambassadors is a boxed expansion for Among the Stars featuring more than 150 new cards. Apart from the Ambassador cards, it includes more than twenty different new Locations, new Objectives, a new Alien race, new Conflict sets (to replace the original one, rather than mix with) and additional material / rules for 5th and 6th player.

The Great Galactic War is upon us!

The Alliance of Races in the galaxy move swiftly to build their space stations with new technology that they are creating to defend against the impending threat.

Among the Stars: Expanding The Alliance (formerly known as “The Promos“) is the second expansion for Among the Stars. This expansion can be combined with the base game and/or the first expansion, Among the Stars: The Ambassadors.

Among the Stars: Expanding The Alliance features a significant amount of new game material for lovers of this great game system, Among the Stars.

The Among the Stars line of games is critically acclaimed, using card drafting (like in “7 Wonders“). It was originally published only in Europe by Artipia Games, and it has been unavailable in retail channels throughout the rest of the world. Stronghold Games is proud to bring this game out for the North American, Asian, and Australian gamers!

All expansions for Among the Stars will be published by Stronghold Games as well, so stay tuned for the rest of this great game line!

In New Dawn, a thematic sequel of Among the Stars and part of the Among the Stars Universe series, players take the role of Alliance officials. Their assignment is to explore and revive a galactic sector. By developing various technologies and dispatching ambassadors, each player has the chance to visit abandoned planets, military facilities and space stations and establish bases to maintain control. Competition is fierce, and each mistake in maintaining control can cost dearly...

Among the Stars: Revival, a new expansion for Among the Stars, can also be played as a standalone game for two players! This game features new mechanisms that add more interaction to the game and more things to consider when drafting a card.

New elements in the game include:
* 30 locations: 15 Basic and 15 Special (90 Location cards in total)
* New two-player rules: More strategic and skill-testing especially for two players! These rules can also be used for Among the Stars base game.
* Spaceships: A new highly-interactive mechanism used by many of the new cards. It allows the players to put Spaceship tokens on the Stations, preventing anyone from building on those spaces.
* Advisors: This new module, which can also be added to the Among the Stars base game, increases competition among the players in order to control Advisor cards that grant them special abilities as well as additional victory points.

In the not-too-distant future, the U.N. Security Council has seen a change.

All the delegates enjoy the power of the Veto. A player who uses a Veto does so at a great cost, but ensures that any Proposal is defeated. As the Secretary General, your job will be to ensure that a Proposal is passed, but that it benefits you the most of all!

AuZtralia is an adventure/exploration game for 1-4 players set in an alternate reality 1930s. The theme is inspired by Martin Wallace's A Study in Emerald. Following the Restorationist war, the northern hemisphere lands lay poisoned and starvation was the norm. Intrepid adventurers set out to explore and settle new lands. Little did they know, after the war, the surviving Old Ones and their remaining loyal human armies made their way to the outback of Australia to lick their wounds.

Build a port, construct railways, mine and farm for food. You’ll need to prepare for the awakening. You’ll need to fight.

Everything you do in the game costs time, which is one of AuZtralia's most valued resources.

At a point in time, the Old Ones will wake up and become an active player. They begin to reveal themselves and move, with potentially devastating outcomes.

You’ll need to prepare wisely for the awakening and may have to co-operate with others to defeat the most dangerous Old Ones.

Military units will help you to locate, fight and defend against the nightmarish beings that may be lurking on your doorstep. As well as hardware, you’ll need to recruit some Personalities who have the skills and resources to help you.

Riches from the land, mixed with darkness and insanity await you in the outback. Will humanity prevail or will the Old Ones wreak their revenge?

1932 — the desolate shores of a new world lie before the would-be colonists. They are on a mission to grow food to feed the war-ravaged populations of the world, a war fought against the terrible Old Ones.

However, this new land hides a terrible secret: It is the final lair of those Old Ones not defeated in the war. They are about to rouse themselves from their slumbers and bring terror down on the settlers. At first these attacks seem to be random. After some time, it becomes obvious that there is a controlling mind behind these evil creatures. Somebody, or something, is directing the hordes of zombies, Mi-go and Shoggoths...and possibly even Cthulhu itself!

AuZtralia: Revenge of the Old Ones enables you to play the game with one player controlling the forces of the Old Ones. This allows the game to be played by up to five players. As well as being able to decide where to place their forces, the Old One player can also summon terrible creatures from the void to create even more havoc. Now you can raise Nyarlathotep or call forth the Hounds of Tindalos to defeat the scourge of humans invading your lands.

The forgotten creatures of the forest have awoken from their slumber. No one knows for sure what is lurking in the Iron Valley. You have followed the call of your king. Now it is time for heroic deeds in The Boldest! Defeat mechanical monsters, retrieve enigmatic artifacts, use helpful items, and lead your faction to glory. Can you read your opponents well enough and forestall them? Are you worthy of the title `The Boldest`?

In Brikks, the active player rolls two dice. The two dice determine which specific `quadromino` (piece) that all players must `drop` into their grid. To represent this, you draw an outline of the block at the bottom of your sheet as if you had dropped it in from the top, then X out the spaces covered by the quadromino. If you cover a circle on the grid that`s the same color as the quadromino just placed there, you collect two energy points.

One of the greatest guilds of medieval Florence, the Calimala, drove that city`s economy due to their amazing work in cloths.

Players of Calimala are cloth merchants with a number of trusted employees assigned to carry out actions. While taking these actions, players produce and deliver cloth and contribute to the construction and decoration of various buildings across the city. Employees can eventually be promoted into the city council, triggering a scoring phase.

A unique action system is used where players place discs between two actions, and can take both actions, while also activating all other discs on the same space. The positions of the action spaces and sequence of scoring phases vary from game to game, making each game very different. Secret scoring objectives and action cards add uncertainty. This is a great medium-weight Eurogame for gamers!
