Market

Fruit Boss

You crave power. You crave respect. But first—you need the Fruit. In Fruit Boss, players take on the role of "junior fruit executives" and battle for marketplace dominance by collecting the most valuable sets of fruit. Pay into market stalls to snatch neighboring stacks, but beware: every move opens a door for your opponent. It’s not personal. It’s just business.

The goal of this quick and easy card game is to collect stacks from the market to build high-scoring sets in your private collection. To claim a stack, you must create a more valuable stack in an adjacent stall. On your turn, you'll take actions like stacking, sliding, and combining to achieve your goals. Stacks must have at least two cards to be collected. But be careful—if any stack hits five or more cards, it topples, removing itself and a neighboring stack from the game. And watch out for Maneki-neko, he want to the fruit too.

At the end of the round, you’ll score your top three fruit sets. Sets are scored by multiplying the highest-value fruit by the number of cards in that suit. Extra fruit? That’s a penalty. The player with the highest score wins.

Fruit Boss plays great at two and includes rules for up to four players. It has a classic card game feel with modern tactics and mechanics. And also fruit. It has fruit.

Leylines

Your ancestors have lived in the forest for generations, surviving by following the Leylines - tangled wisps of magic that weave between the pines and lead to the forest’s most coveted bounties. But you can’t sustain yourself on only moss and berries for long. Every solstice, the fae-markets roll into the forest with their caravans bursting with food and supplies. Gather what you can from the woodland floor and seek out the markets before they move on.

Leylines is a re-imagining/update of the classic game Auf Achse by Wolfgang Kramer set in a brand new world with new rules by Daryl Andrews, featuring beautiful acrylic standees and a circular board filled with magical leylines and mystical markets!

To win, players must collect resources in the forest and bring them back along the leylines to the markets to sell them. Be aware though the magical merchants pay different amounts depending on what they are interested in!

Each round players will take turns waking up and preparing for the day by placing their dice to program their actions and then adventuring through the forest using their placed dice. They will pick up resources along the way and deliver them to the markets for either Gold or Magical items to help them in their journey.

The First Tsar: Ivan the Terrible

The First Tsar: Ivan the Terrible is a thematic sequel to the popular board game Rurik: Dawn of Kiev.

In this board game you will lead the boyar families competing for power and honor in the 16th-century Tsardom of Russia. Over four decades, you’ll collect income from estates and equip troops, trade with foreigners and fortify cities, seek privileges and carry out royal assignments. Use your influence on the tsar, bribe his minions, and perhaps it is your family that will succeed in taking the Russian throne in the next century.

The game is played over four rounds, each one representing approximately a decade of Ivan the Terrible’s reign. At the beginning of each round the players send their boyars to the Kremlin chambers, choosing their actions for the current decade.

Then the players perform the chosen actions:
receive income from cities;
place boyars and warriors on the map and move them;
gain and complete construction, trade and military projects;
exchange goods;
acquire new titles and estates.
At the end of the round, the players with the most influence in the four regions receive additional rewards.

An important element of the game is the Tsar’s favor,
which is used to resolve all ties.

At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points wins.

Kanal

The Oranienburg canal, which gave this game its name, was built between 1832 and 1837 in Brandenburg. The Havel River was difficult to navigate near the Oranienburg mills, so a canal was built from the Havel that crossed the older Ruppin canal, thereby forming the Oranienburg canal cross. During the industrialization in the 19th century, lots of companies and businesses were formed at this important waterway. Moreover, additional streets and railways were built.

In Kanal, you erect new industries and shape the infrastructure by building pathways, streets, railways, and canals. Most important of all are bridges that connect buildings. To do all of this, you have access to various actions that you select in the right moments.

At the end of the game, the player with the best industrial area and the best infrastructure wins.
