The Vale of Eternity: Artifacts, an expansion for The Vale of Eternity, adds 28 creature cards with new effects to the deck, as well as artifacts that players draft during the hunting phase at the start of each round.   In more detail, at the start of a round reveal twice as many creatures as players in the usual way, then starting with the first player, each player drafts an artifact without their marker on it by placing their marker on that artifact. (In effect, you can't draft the same artifact you had the previous round.) Some artifacts have instant effects you use immediately, others give you a permanent effect that entire round, and others grant you an action that you can use once on a turn. After drafting artifacts, players draft creature cards in the usual way. ..

Iedere speler heeft aan het begin van het spel niet meer dan een houten huis met 2 kamers, waarin twee gezinsleden wonen. De spelers beschikken over een scala aan mogelijkheden om door middel van huisuitbreiding, akkerbouw en veeteelt een comfortabel leven op te bouwen. Ze verzamelen grondstoffen zoals hout en leem en zorgen voor voldoende voedsel voor iedereen. De gezinnen breiden zich uit. Ze ploegen akkers en beplanten deze.

Res Arcana Duo is both an expansion for Res Arcana (with 35% more cards) and a standalone, two-player game that can be later combined with Res Arcana and its other expansions Lux et Tenebrae and Perlae Imperii.   Gameplay is the same as in the original game: Life, Death, Elan, Calm, and Gold are the essences that fuel the art of magic.

Unlike the base game, it has no attacks, which some couples may prefer.   A game typically lasts 4-6 rounds. In each round, players do these steps: Collect essences: pe..

Age of Rail: South Africa, title #4 in the "Iron Rail" series by Capstone Games, is a new version of 2011's South African Railroads, which was an extensive re-development of Pampas Railroads' sister game, Veld Railroads. Your goal is to have more money than anyone else, and you earn money by holding shares and getting dividend payments from railroad companies.   After an initial auction for the first shares of these companies, players take turns, choosing from one of four different actions: build track, develop settlement, offer stock, and pay dividends. These actions are limited; only one dividend action exists, for example, so when a player chooses this, the action remains blocked until that player's next turn, at which time they must choose a different action. Two "offer..
