When any player has six or fewer tokens in their supply, each player takes two more turns, then the game ends. At that point, if they've created a continuous path between the two cities on a ticket, then they score the points on that ticket; if not, then they lose points instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTicket to Ride: Rails \u0026amp; Sails puts a few twists on the TtR formula, starting with split card decks of trains and ships (with all of the wild cards going in the train deck). Three cards of each type are revealed at the start of the game, and when you draw cards, you replace them with a card from whichever deck you like. (Shuffle the card types separately to form new decks when needed.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, players choose their own mix of train and ship tokens at the start of the game. To claim a train route (rectangular spaces), you must play train cards (or wilds) and cover those spaces with train tokens, and to claim a ship route (oval spaces), you must play ship cards (or wilds) and cover those spaces with ship tokens. Ship cards depict one or two ships on them, and when you play a double-ship card, you can cover one or two ship spaces. You can take an action during play to swap train tokens for ships (or vice versa), and you lose one point for each token you swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome tickets show tour routes with multiple cities instead of simply two cities. If you build a network that matches the tour exactly, you score more points than if you simply include all of those cities in your network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach player also starts the game with three harbors. If you have built a route to a port city, you can take an action during the game to place a harbor in that city (with a limit of one harbor per port). To place the harbor, you must discard two train cards and two ship cards of the same color, all of which must bear the harbor symbol (an anchor). At the end of the game, you lose four points for each harbor not placed, and you gain 10-40 points for each placed harbor depending on how many of your completed tickets show that port city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTicket to Ride: Rails \u0026amp; Sails includes a double-sided game board, with one side showing the world and the other side showing the Great Lakes of North America.

The possibilities seemed limitless: Napoleonic era, American Revolution, Middle Ages, World Wars I \u0026amp; II, Vietnam and more. Rumors swirled, deals were consummated, but other than an Italian rip-off, none were forthcoming - until now. Days of Wonder has filled the void with a wonderful production of Memoir '44, adapting the simple yet fun-filled game system pioneered in Battle Cry to World War II, with emphasis on the Allied invasion of Normandy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth mentioning that the subject matter - World War II - may be sensitive to some folks. I fully understand that some individuals refuse on principle to play games dealing with warfare. If you are one of those individuals, then you are best advised to move on. Memoir '44 is a game based on the various battles that raged in connection with the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. While no attempt is made to glorify warfare, the game does involve the simulation of military conflict and the resulting casualties. If you find such a subject distasteful, give this game a pass. If, however, you can separate a game from the brutality of historic conflict, then Memoir '44 is definitely worth your time and investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMemoir '44 contains sixteen separate scenarios, ranging from the various beach invasions conducted on D-Day, to the inland battles of St. Mre-Eglise, Pegasus Bridge, Mont Mouchet and others. Two players lead the Axis and Allied forces into battle, maneuvering their infantry, artillery and armored forces across various terrain, hoping to achieve set objectives and capture the day. Each scenario has specific victory conditions (called ``Victory Medals'' in game parlance), from capturing specific objectives to eliminating enemy units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLest one think this is a complicated war game designed for the true grognard, let me assure you that it is not. Indeed, it is quite simple, serving as an excellent introduction to the war gaming field. However, it has shown much wider appeal that that, as the simple mechanisms, easy-to-learn rules and brilliant production values has made it appealing to dedicated gamers, casual gamers and families. It is also the type of game you can have hours of fun playing with your child, be it a boy or a girl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolks familiar with Battle Cry (not the 1960's Milton Bradley American Heritage version) will be in familiar territory here. The large, double-sided board is divided into three sectors - left, center and right - and has a hex grid superimposed upon it to regulate the movement of the pieces. The terrain depicted on the board is modified by the placement of separate terrain hexes appropriate to the scenario being played. Terrain includes forests, hedgerows, hills, towns \u0026amp; villages, rivers \u0026amp; waterways, oceans, and beaches. There are also separate miniatures and counters representing bunkers, hedgehogs, sandbags and wire. This abundance of terrain and obstacles not only provides quite a bit of variety and strategic challenges, but it also allows for players to devise their own scenarios and adapt the board as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayers set-up the terrain their forces as prescribed in the appropriate scenario. Activation and movement of units is dictated by a deck of ``Command'' cards. These cards generally allow players to activate, move and\/or fire various units in various battlefield sectors. For instance, the ``Probe'' card allows the player to activate two units in the specified sector (right, left or center), while the ``Armor Assault'' card allows the player to activate up to four armour units, wherever they may be located on the battlefield. Players alternate playing cards, moving and firing the appropriate units, and drawing a card to replace the one played. Depending upon the scenario, the number of cards held by each player may vary. This is done in an effort to reflect the actual command situation that existed in the historical encounter, and sometimes to help balance the scenario a bit better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach type of unit has its own movement and fire capabilities. These capabilities can be further modified by the terrain and scenario restrictions. For instance, infantry can normally move one space and still fire, or two spaces and not fire. However, if they enter a forest or town, they must end their movement and may not fire. Armor is much more mobile, while artillery is slower. One of the challenges is to coordinate these three types of units for maximum effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiring is a simple matter of rolling dice, hoping to roll symbols matching the targeted unit. The number of dice rolled depends upon several factors:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) The type of unit attacking; 2) The distance the firing unit is from the target unit; and 3) The terrain occupied by the targeted unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, an attacking infantry unit located adjacent to the targeted unit rolls three dice. If the target is located two hexes away, the attacker rolls two dice. If the target is three hexes away - the maximum distance in order for an infantry unit to fire - the attacker only rolls one die. If the target is located in a forest, town or behind certain obstacles, the number of dice rolled is further reduced. Artillery suffers similar reductions, while attacking armor always rolls three dice, reduced only by terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ``hit'' results in the removal of a unit from the targeted group. Most groups contain multiple units, meaning they can suffer several casualties before being completely eliminated. An eliminated group results in a ``Victory Medal'' for the attacker, with the accumulation of a prescribed number of victory medals resulting in victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with most military simulation games, there are other rules pertaining to line-of-sight, retreats, terrain, special units, and or peculiar situations. These rules are very straightforward and easy to grasp. There truly is nothing complicated here. There is little doubt that ``playability'' was stressed over historical accuracy. For many, many people - myself included - that is just fine. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional detailed, historically accurate war game. I still adore Squad Leader and Paths of Glory. However, Memoir '44 doesn't pretend to play in that league. Rather, it is clearly designed to be an easy, fast-playing game that can be played by all age groups. The emphasis here is squarely on ``fast fun'' as opposed to detailed simulation. In this regard, Memoir '44 accomplishes its goal quite splendidly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding to the fun are the outstanding production values of the game. The game contains 180 detailed miniatures representing the Axis \u0026amp; Allied forces, as well as various obstacles. The graphic illustrations on the Command cards are clear and pleasing, as are the board and terrain graphics. The rules are lavishly illustrated in full color, and are easy to read and understand. I can't imagine many people having trouble quickly learning the game straight from the box. Everything here screams ``quality'', and the extra touches - including the plastic holders on which players display their cards - are a true mark of excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDays of Wonder seems committed to supporting Memoir '44, and have already released several new scenarios. Further, they have made available a program on their website wherein players can devise their own scenarios. I don't think it will be too long before we see expansion packs, or even further games using the same system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what's not to like? Well, taken for what it is meant to be - a light, easy-to-learn ``war'' game - not much. However, some folks may well quibble with a few issues. First and probably foremost will be the ``luck of the draw'' issue regarding the Command cards. Like many games utilizing cards, some of the cards are more powerful than others. It is possible for one player to simply get lucky and draw more powerful cards than his opponent. It is also possible for a player to go many turns without drawing cards which allow him to activate units in a particular sector. These situations can be frustrating and may well be enough to tarnish the opinion of some. Over the course of a game or two, such issues should generally level-out - but they can be disturbing when they surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother factor to consider is that the scenarios are not very balanced. The Axis have clear advantages in some, while the Allies have the upper-hand in others. The designer has been very up-front in stating that it was not his intent to ``balance'' the scenarios. Rather, he attempted to make them as close to historical accuracy as the simplicity of the game system allows. That is the main reason the rules call for player to play a scenario twice, switching sides between games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCould the game be improved? Sure - few games couldn't benefit from some tinkering. However, I really don't see much need here. As mentioned, for what it is attempting to do, Memoir '44 easily achieves its goal. It is simple, yet there are decisions to be made regarding which units to activate, where to move them, when to launch an assault, when to hunker down in defense, etc. Managing one's cards and planning one's maneuvers are critical elements in the game. Rolling well also doesn't hurt! Memoir' 44 is a very good game, filled with fun and exciting moments. It is a game that should have wide appeal - and deserves to reach a wide audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Days of Wonder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30597458698,"sku":"DOW7301REF","price":62.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/files\/memoir-44-refresh.webp?v=1759350764"},{"product_id":"galaxy-trucker","title":"Galaxy Trucker (2021 Re-launch)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shutupandsitdown.com\/games\/galaxy-trucker-anniversary-edition\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/files\/susd_recommends_alt_clear_720_small.png?v=1485779305\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor 2-4 players, ages 8+, playing time around 20-30 minutes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003eIn the fast and goofy family game\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGalaxy Trucker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e, players begin by simultaneously rummaging through the common warehouse, frantically trying to grab the most useful component tiles to build their spaceship — all in real-time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-condensed panel-expandable ng-scope ng-isolate-scope expandable full\" expandable-height=\"300px\" gk-expandable-geekitem=\"description\" ng-if=\"geekitemctrl.expandabledescription\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-envelope\" ng-style=\"{maxHeight:expandablectrl.maxHeight}\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable-body\" ng-transclude=\"\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"game-description-body ng-scope\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ng-binding\" ng-bind-html=\"geekitemctrl.wikitext|to_trusted\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the ships are launched, players encounter dangerous situations while vying for financial opportunities, each hoping to gain the most valuable cargo and finish with as much of their ship still intact as possible.

Players become crew members of a small spaceship scanning dangerous sectors of galaxy. The missions last just 10 minutes (hyperspace jump, sector scan, hyperspace jump back) and the only task the players have is to protect their ship. On 2 CDs (or Scenario cards if you don't have a CD player available) are ten minutes long soundtracks that represent central computer announcements about the presence of various threats. These vary from space battleships and interceptors to different interstellar monsters and abominations, asteroids or even intruders and malfunctions on the spaceship.

This is an unusual event and I was really keen to play as soon as I could. Games from US companies come to the UK at different speeds. Some are dropped off on their way from Germany while others like Z-Man games take a variable amount of time. The news on the wires from the US for Pandemic was really positive which only increased my desire to play it quickly. Matt Leacock had previously designed Lunatic Loops, which was a game about car racing, so Pandemic is a way off that theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a start it is a cooperative game, and there aren't (EDIT: weren't) that many of those. The Geek says there are hundreds, but I think they mean games that feature cooperative elements. The ones that spring readily to mind are the Lord of the Rings games and expansions from Knizia and Acid Rain (Saurer Regen) a game about protecting a tree from acid rain that came out in the early 1980's. Given this heritage, what sort of game should I expect? Well the good news is that Pandemic is a well put together game that takes no more than an hour, even with people who want to ponder before making their plans. The game board features a map of the world with links between cities. The cities are coloured in one of the four colours of the diseases - so the cities of the Far East are red, while of Western Europe are blue. The colours determine the type (colour) of the disease that will break out, and because the colours are all in one area, this helps the diseases to spread. The object of the game is to overcome three of the four major diseases before they spread across the world. To do this players cooperate using cards in their hands and the special powers that come from their role to reduce the risk of outbreaks and ultimately find cures for these diseases. Each player receives a role card and a set of player cards. The role card provides a special game benefit to that player while the other cards show cities on the board, and a colour that matches the four diseases. The map is populated with a starting set of diseases from each of the four types by using another deck of cards called the infection deck. The diseases are shown on the map as cubes in the colour of that disease. Some cities will start with 3 cubes (the most), others with 2 or 1, but the majority of cities are disease free. The significance of the number of cubes is that a maximum of 3 are allowed in a city before the outbreak starts to spread and adjacent cities (linked by a line) become infected. The players start in Atlanta which is the American home of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an agency that focuses national attention on developing and applying disease prevention and control. So this is a good place to start for all players. There are several ways for players to lose, but only one way to win. The mechanisms for losing are: * If all the game markers (cubes) for a disease are used and more are required. * If the city deck is exhausted and more cards are required. * If too many of epidemics have taken place. The only way for the players to win is to obtain the cures to the diseases. It may appear that the odds look stacked up against the players, but the collective options for players allow for some coordinated action to increase their chances. For me, there are two game systems that really make the game work well. The first is the range of movement options for the players that encourage cooperative discussion and the second is the mechanism of dealing with an epidemic of a disease. Each turn a player has four actions they can take and movement will usually be the key feature. The options are moving along the links, with each link counting as an action, so a maximum of four links can be used in this way. The distances that you can travel using links is good and the links wrap around the world so the left and right edges of the board are adjacent. However, this is a slow way to move. A faster solution is to use a player card from your hand. If you are located at that city you can hand in the card and move to any other city in the world. Obviously this is a great way to travel, but you have to start from the city on the card. A third travel solution is to use a city card, but this time the city is your destination, rather than your start point. The advantage is that you can use it from any city, but you arrive at the city on the card. Player cards are also used to cure diseases, and having 5 of the same colour in your hand and moving to a research station will cure that disease. So using them for travel can limit the options on the ability to collect sets of cards. The final regular option is to move (for one action) from one research station to another. The game begins with one research station in Atlanta and 5 more can be built anywhere by handing in the city card, while having your game marker present in that city. Once they are built - ideally right across the world - movement options increase dramatically. Not only does it reduce card use, the time taken to get to outbreaks of diseases really comes down. Another action which can be taken is treating the disease in the city where your game marker is located. Normally each treatment removes one cube back to storage and off the map, but the Medic, which is another player role, treats all the cubes rather than just one. So you can see why movement is crucial to the game and how well the designer has provided options for players to consider. The other core system is the way that diseases continue to focus on specific cities. At the beginning of the game the city deck of cards is seeded with epidemic cards. The number indicates how difficult the game can be. An easy game is to have 4 of these in the deck, while a difficult game is to have 6. At the end of each player's turn, 2 infection cards are revealed from the deck. These show the cities where disease is spreading. Usually this adds one cube to the city. This city card is then discarded. When an epidemic card from the player's deck of cities is revealed, the current discarded set of cities where diseases have spread (including the cities that seeded the map at the beginning of the game) are reshuffled and placed on top of the infection deck. This means that future cards (taken each turn at the conclusion of each player's turn) will re-infect the cities that are already diseased. This creates an impetus for players to deal with diseases where the cubes have already reached 3 in a city in order to reduce the risk of outbreaks. It also ensures players recognise the danger from one disease spreading too widely across the world as the first losing criterion might be reached. Together these key game systems make the game. Options for moving provide players with the need to discuss the fastest routes and how to minimise risks, while the spread of diseases causes tension around which cities will be infected and at which rate. However, this is not all. The role cards are permanent rule breakers enabling players to meld the options available to solve problems that the rules present. For example, the Scientist can cure diseases with only four (rather than five) cards of the same colour so the player playing that role will tend to collect cards. Passing cards is fairly difficult. Both players have to be in the same city and the only card that can be passed is the city where they are located. This can be achieved and is probably necessary but another role - the Researcher - allows this to happen more easily by being able on their turn to pass any cards to a player located in the same city, which is a significant benefit. The final game system that could cause players to lose is the outbreak, where the 8th outbreak will end the game. I have found that this is less likely in the easy games of course, but another significant worry for players in the difficult settings. Other tweaks in the game are a set of special cards that are part of the players' city deck and allow actions like helicoptering any player to any city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have tried the game with 2, 3 and 4 players; at all the difficulty levels; and with both regular and non regular gamers, and it works all the time. The game systems are intuitive so it is easy to pick up and I have found that non-gamers like the systems and especially the cooperative nature of the game. The presentation is excellent and rules are clearly presented, so Pandemic is a hit on my game table.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Z-Man Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30597881738,"sku":"ZMG71100","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/files\/pic1534148.jpg?v=1690559336"},{"product_id":"dixit-odyssey","title":"Dixit Odyssey","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shutupandsitdown.com\/games\/dixit\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/files\/susd_recommends_alt_clear_720_small.png?v=1485779305\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3-12 players.

Players can try to achieve one of three different victory conditions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeadership:\u003c\/strong\u003e Be the leader — i.e., have more clan figures than any other player — of territories containing at least six opponents' clans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Have your clans present in at least six different territories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReligion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Have your clans present in territories that collectively contain at least six shrines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the course of the game, players also earn deeds, typically chanted by bards or engraved by master crafters, that reduce by one the magic total of six for any condition. While one victory condition is enough to claim the title of King, a game of experienced players usually has a tight balance of power, emphasizing the leadership of the capital of the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the start of each round, players draft a hand of four action cards (with 13 action cards for three players and 17 for four players) during the Assembly. Action cards not played at the end of one season are not held for the next. Players also have access to leader cards for the territories that allow it and where they were elected leader during the assembly. Each Assembly reallocates those cards. Finally, they collect \"epic tales\" cards that depict the deeds of the ancient Irish gods and heroes, like Cuchulainn, the Dagda, Lugh and many others. These will be kept and used to inspire the clans and achieve extraordinary feats...under the right circumstances. The cards provide a variety of actions: adding clans, moving clans, building\/exploring, and special actions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful drafting, hand management, bluffing (especially once players understand the importance of passing their turn), good timing, and a precise understanding of the balance of power are the keys to victory. After a discovery game you'll be ready for a full and epic game, where an undisputed will be king by the Assembly for his merit and wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile \u003cem\u003eInis\u003c\/em\u003e has \"dudes\" that are \"on a map\", it's a beginner's mistake to play this as a battle game because eliminating other clans reduces your chances of scoring a Leadership victory condition. Peace among different clans, with or without a clear territory leader, is the usual outcome of a clan's movement. Battles will occur, of course, as the Celtic clans can be unruly and a good player will listen to his clan's people (i.e., his hand of cards). That battle aspect is reflected in the clan's miniatures representing warriors. Woodsmen, shepherds and traders complete the set of twelve minis for each player; these occupations have no impact on the game, but give it flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Matagot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36007380746,"sku":"KOLINI001477","price":62.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/files\/Inis-3rd.jpg?v=1768490426"},{"product_id":"cockroach-poker-kaker-laken-poker","title":"Cockroach Poker (Kaker Laken Poker)","description":"\u003carticle class=\"bbb node-1569 node node-product view-mode-full clearfix\" about=\"\/product\/cockroach-poker-multi-lingual-edition\" typeof=\"sioc:Item foaf:Document\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shutupandsitdown.com\/games\/cockroach-poker-royal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/files\/susd_recommends_alt_clear_720_small.png?v=1485779305\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"bbb node-1569 node node-product view-mode-full clearfix\" about=\"\/product\/cockroach-poker-multi-lingual-edition\" typeof=\"sioc:Item foaf:Document\"\u003e\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"bbb node-1569 node node-product view-mode-full clearfix\" about=\"\/product\/cockroach-poker-multi-lingual-edition\" typeof=\"sioc:Item foaf:Document\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-description field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-items\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor 2-6 players, ages 8+, playing time around 20 minutes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan you keep a poker face and bluff your way to victory?

If you're caught bluffing, or you call bluff incorrectly, you keep the card face up in front of you.

He does this by putting a painting from his hand up for auction each turn. He gets the money if some other player buys it, but must pay the bank if he buys it for himself.

They run the household and they have the last word at home in the tents. Different families are divided into tribes, headed by the ‘Imascheren’ (or nobles). As leader of a Tuareg tribe, players trade goods from near (such as dates and salt) and far (like pepper), in order to obtain gold and other benefits, and enlarge their family. In each round their new offerings are made. Cards are a means to an end, in order to obtain the popular tribe cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGameplay:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board consists of a 5x5 grid: a border of 16 squares with printed action symbols and then 9 blank squares in the centre onto which cards are dealt. Meeples are placed one at a time on the spaces at the edges of the board (not including corner squares). You cannot place a meeple on a square the opponent has a meeple on already, nor on a square facing opponent's meeple. Once all meeples are placed, players then execute the actions on the border squares the meeples are on and also take the cards from the centre that match the row and column of the border meeples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game is predominantly scored and won by playing tribal cards to your display. These give advantages during the game and victory points at the end. Usually cards are played (or discarded) immediately once drawn. A single card can be kept in hand but then requires a special action to play it (or to discard it to free the hand spot for another card). Each card has a cost in goods to play. Goods are obtained either from border spaces or from goods cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe display (for scoring) consists of 3 rows of 4 cards that are filled from left to right and cannot be moved once placed (barring some special cards). There is also a balance to be found between the victory point score on the cards themselves (1-3 VP per tribal card) and in the combinations per row (a full row of 4 identical card types gets you an additional 4 VP, and a full row of 4 distinct card types gets you 2 VP).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winner at the end of the game is the player with the most victory points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kosmos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32587482071119,"sku":"691480","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/targi.jpg?v=1569107975"},{"product_id":"cosmic-encounter-revised-edition","title":"Cosmic Encounter","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor 3-5 Players, Ages 14+, Playing Time Around 90 Minutes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/files\/susd_recommends_alt_clear_720_480x480.png?v=1485779305\" alt=\"\" width=\"131\" height=\"117\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho—or what—is out there?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEons ago, your ancestors searched the black void of space for intelligent life.
