Methodologie

Take on the roles of suspect and sleuth from Agatha Christie’s acclaimed detective novel The Murder on the Links. Use your “little grey cells” to gather evidence, eliminate suspects, and ultimately level an accusation.

The game of Méthodologie is played in two distinct phases:
the INVESTIGATION PHASE and the ACCUSATION PHASE.

In the INVESTIGATION PHASE, the players will reveal cards from their hands, then interrogate each other in order to eliminate leads. This sequence continues until each player has only one character, one location, and one object left in hand.

In the ACCUSATION PHASE, the players will place target tokens to make accusations about the remaining cards in each other’s hands. Any cards not correctly identified by majority accusation will be scored when the game ends.

Meduris: Der Ruf der Götter

Description from the publisher:

Following the call of the gods, the players settle at the base of mountain Meduris. Building huts, bringing offerings to the druid, gathering precious runestones, and building monumental temples is the only way to earn the favor of the gods in Meduris.

1. Skillful use of the workers lets you obtain valuable materials. These are needed to build huts and temples.

2. The larger the settlement,the more expensive it is to build a hut there. But if you can get in the good graces of the druid by presenting an offering, then your effort pays off.

3. Keep an eye on the other players: Who will secure the best building sites at the right time, and collect the most valuable rune stones?

4. Only a player who skillfully places their huts and temples, and keeps enough materials ready for the big final round of offerings, will win the game.

Meadow

Meadow

Meadow is an engaging set collection game with over two hundred unique cards containing hand-painted watercolor illustrations. In the game, players take the role of explorers competing for the title of the most skilled nature observer. To win, they collect cards with the most valuable species, landscapes, and discoveries. Their journey is led by passion, a curiosity of the world, an inquiring mind, and a desire to discover the mysteries of nature. The competition continues at the bonfire where the players race to fulfill the goals of their adventures.

In this medium-weight board game for 1-4 players, you take turns placing path tokens on one of the two boards. Placing a token on the main board allows the player to get cards, but playing them requires meeting certain requirements. Playing a token on the bonfire board activates special actions (which helps to implement a chosen strategy) and gives the opportunity to achieve goals that provide additional points. Throughout the game, players collect cards in their meadow and surroundings area. At the end, the player with the most points on cards and on the bonfire board wins.

Meadow also includes envelopes with additional cards to open at specific moments…

Mayhem: Teen Titans Go!

| T3d-1978
Mayhem: Teen Titans Go!

Mayhem: Teen Titans Go!

The Teen Titans fight amongst themselves in Teen Titans GO! Mayhem, with each team racing to be the first to collect 5 victory points (VP).

Teen Titans GO! Mayhem is built around the “Mayhem System”, a system for character vs. character team-based combat in which the most direct method for a team to gain VP is by KOing their opponents. Characters use items and powers to battle the enemy team, with battle damage changing each round based on the mayhem die. All of the Titans have a power that directly attacks their opponents, either through an attack or through fire tokens. Fire tokens deal damage equal to the mayhem die, just like a regular attack, but deal their damage at the beginning of each round.

When a character is KOed, they are removed from the board and their opponent gains VPs, with the KOed character returning to play next round.

When you’re not fighting, you use teamwork to complete missions from the special GO! deck for a chance to gain VPs.
