SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

In SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a eurogame for 1–4 players, you lead a scientific institution tasked with searching for traces of life beyond planet Earth. The game draws inspiration from current or emerging technologies and efforts in space exploration.

Players will explore nearby planets and their moons by launching probes from Earth while taking advantage of ever-shifting planetary positions. Decide whether to land on their surface to collect valuable samples, or stay in orbit for a broader survey. Additionally, by directing your telescopes to gaze into distant star systems, you may detect traces of alien signals or undiscovered exoplanets, and collect promising data to examine and study back home.

Back on Earth, you can invest in upgrading your equipment so you can analyze incoming data more efficiently, boost your telescope signal capacity, or increase your supply of resources—all to expand the scope of your search that could lead to a discovery of extraterrestrial life forms.

Gateway Island

Gateway Island is your Introduction to Board Games! Featuring 21 different games and a variety of game mechanics, Gateway Island is just the game you need to introduce friends to the world of board gaming. The simple and accessible rules are quick and easy to learn. Find out if you (and your friends) like drafting, worker placement, bluffing, racing, party games, dungeon crawlers, and much, much, more!

Gateway Island contains 21 beautifully illustrated jumbo cards and other game components like cubes, disks, a die, and everything you need inside of a portable box that can be taken anywhere.

Lastly, and perhaps best of all, after playing a game, the rulebook will recommend 1 or 2 new games for you to try if you liked the mini game! Featuring over 30 game recommendations from a variety of publishers, you'll know exactly what games to add to your collection next based on the fun you had with Gateway Island!

Huang

HUANG is a 2 to 5 player game set in ancient China, during the time of the Warring States. You take control of one of the Warring States, battling to unite the country under your dynasty. Each player has five different leaders: Governor, Soldier, Farmer, Trader, and Artisan.

Clever placement of these leaders and their corresponding tiles on the board is key, allowing you to build pagodas to score points, trigger or avoid wars, and instigate peasant revolts that bring down your enemies. Play is fast and addictive, lasting around 90 minutes, with a very short teaching time reflecting the elegance of the ruleset.

Arkham Horror RPG: Core Rulebook

In the heart of 1920s New England, nestled among the rolling hills of the Miskatonic River Valley, lies Arkham, Massachusetts. Caught in the midst of the tides of change and progress, the city struggles to shrug off the myths of its past and step into a shining future. But too many of those myths have a kernel of truth at their core, and the eldritch horrors that haunt Arkham’s past still lurk just beyond the threshold of our understanding. Nothing can stand against the monsters that stalk the darkness... except you.

Dive into glamour, danger, and mystery with Arkham Horror — the Roleplaying Game! With intuitive, exciting mechanics enabling tough choices and immersive storytelling, all you need is this book and a handful of six-sided dice to start investigating eldritch mysteries with your friends! Take on the role of one of the few investigators brave and resolute enough to step into the shadows beyond our world and face the crawling horrors beyond. If you fail, your sanity will be shattered and your body consumed by things worse than you could ever imagine. But if you succeed, you just might save the world from total destruction!

This book contains the core rules for Arkham Horror — the Roleplaying Game, full rules for building characters, information on the city of Arkham and its neighbors, a collection of adversaries and the nightmarish Ancient Ones they serve, and a complete adventure to let you get straight into the action.
