Players: 2-5

Age: 10+

Playing Time: 90′

In Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West, players embark on twelve journeys across North America as 19th century pioneers. The campaign begins on the East Coast, with players working their way to the West from one adventure to the next, meeting challenges along the way. As in Ticket to Ride, completing your tickets will remain your primary goal, but you will need to develop other skills if you hope to overcome the unexpected events and your resourceful rivals. Game after game, route after route, you will continuously fill your vault with earnings. As the story progresses, you will open frontier boxes that unlock new rules, content, and many more surprises.

In the Legacy style, Legends of the West is a unique experience molded by player choices. Each player has their own role to play, allowing them to change the way the story unfolds around them. Combined with evolving mechanisms that change as the game progresses, players will have a new experience every time they gather around the board.

At the end of the twelve games in this legacy campaign, you will have transformed your game into a unique copy that you can continue playing for a lifetime.

Zombie Kittens

Players: 2-5

Age: 7+

Playing Time: 15′

Languages: English

Zombie Kittens is still the highly strategic, kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette that you love, but it introduces a brand new deck of cards so that your game doesn’t end just because you blow up. Only living players can win the game, but dead players now get to keep the cards in their hands when they explode. They also get to play certain cards to torment the living players. And they can even come back from the dead to win the game. Zombie Kittens can be played by itself or can be combined with Exploding Kittens.

Exploding Kittens: The Board Game

Players: 2-6

Age: 7+

Playing Time: 20′

Languages: English

There’s never been a board game like this before! Your goal is to make it to the end of the board without landing on the Exploding Kitten. To do that you’ll play cards and plot strategies to sabotage your opponents. But don’t get too cocky because one wrong move can cause the board to flip. This completely transforms the board to reveal a new path where every move could be your last. You have to think fast, form alliances, play smart, and avoid the Exploding Kittens at all costs.

The stakes are high but the rules are simple… Just beware, danger, and betrayal, and pee your pants laughing moments lurk around every corner.

What other game lets you play as a TacoCat, SushiCat, or GnomeCat? Who else would give you the power of Meatpants, a Litterbox Sandworm, or a Butterfly Punch?

Shallow Sea

45.00 incl. VAT

Players: 1-4

Age: 14+

Playing Time: 45′

Languages: English

 

In Shallow Sea, a multi-layered puzzle board game inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, players create their own vivid ocean landscapes by strategically arranging an array of marine life, colorful fish, and corals. Unlike typical puzzle games in which pieces merely stack up, the elements in Shallow Sea can activate, deactivate, and even move, creating exciting combos and thought-provoking dilemmas that keep you on your toes.

On your turn, choose tiles showing fish, coral, or sea life, and place them on an empty space on your board. When fish surround a coral of the same color, you flip over the completed coral, which becomes a home for fish. Choose which fish will inhabit the coral, keeping the puzzle and ecosystem cards in mind. Use seashells to lure fish and move them, ideally completing multiple coral at once if you build them strategically.

Invite other creatures to enrich your ocean, trying to match the distinct scoring requirements of the ecosystem cards in order to score the most points.

DIXIT (EN)

42.00 incl. VAT

Players: 3-8

Age: 8+

Playing Time: 30′

Languages: English

Each turn in Dixit, one player is the storyteller, chooses one of the six cards in their hand, then makes up a sentence based on that card’s image and says it out loud without showing the card to the other players. Each other player then selects the card in their hand that best matches the sentence and gives the selected card to the storyteller, without showing it to anyone else.

The storyteller shuffles their card with all of the received cards, then reveals all of these cards. Each player other than the storyteller then secretly guesses which card belongs to the storyteller. If nobody or everybody guesses the correct card, the storyteller scores 0 points, and each other player scores 2 points. Otherwise, the storyteller and whoever found the correct answer score 3 points. Additionally, the non-storyteller players score 1 point for every vote received by their card.

The game ends when the deck is empty or if a player has scored at least 30 points. In either case, the player with the most points wins.

The Dixit base game and each expansion contains 84 cards, and the cards can be mixed together as desired.
