Antike

Antike
II is a challenging strategy game about evolution and competition among ancient
civilizations. Ancient nations create cities, build temples, sail the seas, and
discover new principles of science and technology. Their legions and galleys
open new settlements and defend their people against attacks from their
enemies. Two scenarios can be chosen as the game board is two-sided.
Every
nation tries to win ancient kings, scholars, generals, citizens, and navigators
for themselves. The nation that acquires a specified number (depending on the
number of players) of ancient personalities first wins the game!
Lead
one of these nations to victory but watch out for your enemies as they will
want to conquer your cities to destroy your temples. The game depends not on
the luck of dice or cards, but on thoughtful plans and skillful diplomacy.
Antike
II differs from the 2005 Antike in several ways. To start, players now own city tokens, which allows them some degree of
choice as to which resource a newly founded city shall produce. Military units
have become more expensive, and the rules for the conquest of cities are
considerably easier. The scientific progresses were altered as well. Neutral
temples now exist, which may be destroyed, gaining VPs of a general, without
harming other players. The game features two new maps in a new graphical
design, and a new card named “BELLONA” (the ancient Roman goddess of war) has
been introduced to counter the starting player’s advantage.

Ladies & Gangsters
$24.95
SRP
Ladies offers female versions of the beans used
in Bohnanza with better payoffs than their male counterparts, for more money
when the female beans are at the top of the harvest. Ladies is quite similar to Bohnanza, but gentleman and
lady beans have different Beanometers within the same bean type; and baby beans
have no Beanometer at all. When harvesting a field, the Beanometer showing on
the top-most card (last card played) in the field is the one used for earning
gold coins from the harvest.
Gangsters is for one or two players where they
compete against a third entity, the Bean Mafia. The players need to have more
profit than each other and the Bean Mafia in order to win. Also includes a few
new beans with irregular beanometers.

Bohnanza:
Princes & Pirates
$24.95
SRP
With
the Pirates expansion, Bohnanza goes to sea. With Bohnanza, when players
harvested beans they immediately sold them for gold coins. With Pirates,
players may load their harvested beans onto ships which will deliver them to
other markets for higher profits. However, there are pirates on the sea and
they lie in wait in their pirate ships to capture the cargoes of merchant ships
carrying beans.
Pirates
must be played with the Bohnanza basic game as this has the components
necessary for up to seven players. Except for changes to the rules described
herein, the game is played the same as basic Bohnanza.
Bean
princes make their way to sleeping beauty in the king’s castle. They wrestle
through thick, overgrown bean vines and must fulfill difficult tasks. The
prince who reaches the Castle and has the most gold coins, may kiss sleeping
beauty to awaken her, and win the game.
Princes
must be played with Ladies or with Bohnanza.
