Archipelago
$ 79.99 SRP
Are you ready to take-on your discovery mission to the
archipelago? Each player takes on the role of an explorer and their team,
mandated by a European nation to discover, colonize and profit from the
archipelagos. These missions are supposed to happen diplomatically, by answering
the needs of the local population as much as the regular demands from the
continent. You'll have to respect the archipelago and its natives as otherwise,
they'll begin to revolt and that might end up with a war for independence.
That's not taking into account that among you a separatist and a pacifist might
be hidden, who will both tip the scales toward revolt or peace, respectively!
Archipelago combines exploration, resource management, optimization,
cooperation, strategy, negotiation, corruption, commerce, suspicion, alliances
and betrayals, even a hint of investigation!
Features:
• Modular game with vast possibilities.
• A semi-cooperative game by Christophe Boelinger
(Dungeon Twister, Earth Reborn).
• The possibility of choosing the length of your game -
from 30 minutes to 5 hours.

River
Dragons
$ 39.99 SRP
In River Dragons, you want
to move your pawn over a system of bridge-like planks to the other side of the
board. An easy task! Or at least it would be if everyone were working together,
but alas you're not. Instead you're all working on your own right next to one
another, each convinced that your way is best.
In game terms, players simultaneously select one card
from a set of five actions that's available to each player. The actions allow
players to place plank foundations, place planks, move their pawns, cancel other
players' actions, or remove planks or foundation stones. As can be expected for
a design with simultaneous action selection, the game is rather
chaotic.
The 2012 edition of the game includes a double-sided
game board not present in earlier editions.

Panic On Wall
Street
$ 39.99 SRP
Panic on Wall Street players are divided into Managers
and Investors. Managers offer for sale shares of societies they are in charge of
for as much as possible. Investors attempt to acquire them for as little as
possible in order to get the best return possible. After two minutes of
negotiation, a roll of the dice brings (sometimes drastic) changes to the
economy, with major consequences for the balance sheet of each player. After
five rounds of play (5 months), the manager and the investor who have
accumulated the most money are each declared victors, the undisputed Masters of
Commerce.
