💎 Kings of Air and Steam 💎
By Tasty Minstrel Games

🔥 Kings of Air and Steam is a pickup and deliver route-planning board game in a steampunk setting.

Becoming the King of Air and Steam is simple...

Early in the 20th century, modern factories crank out goods like clockwork. Race your mighty, but unstable airship to pick up cargo and haul it through the clouds to depots safely outside city limits. Then hustle the most valuable shipments by train into the cities that want them, satisfying demand and racking up profits!

Simple right? Now do it faster, cheaper, and smarter than everyone else. If you can build the strongest network of air and steam - and produce the cash to show for it - you'll deserve the crown!

Features:

* Seven awesome teams to play with, each with unique powers to give them a competitive edge.
* Secretly plot the flight of your detailed airship figurine, then reveal your plans to see it all unfold!
* Build depots to rule the rails... but keep an eye on the goods market and your cash supply!
* Huge modular board means a new play area every time! 🔥

😍 La Isla 😍
by Ravensburger starting at $35.99

La Isla - Explore the Tropical Island of Mystery. Discover animal species long thought extinct - like the Dodo or Golden Toad. An amazingly clever, tactical game full of unpredictable challenges.

Are you ready to explore a previously uncharted island? Excellent! You and your fellow players, each command a team of five scientists. Your goal is to capture animal species so you can study them ? and, of course, score points.

La Isla's game board consists of a set of oddly-shaped tiles that are placed in a circular arrangement around a central polygon tile. Thirty-five animal tokens (seven each of five different types) are placed at random on the spaces numbered 2, 3 and 4 on the game board; these numbers equal the number of camps that surround these spaces.

On your turn, draw 3 cards from the face down draw piles of your choice and add them to your hand. Each card has 3 possible uses: perform an action, receive a resource or advance a marker. Place the three cards face down below the A, B and D spaces on your cardholder to identify which card you'll use to perform a special fuction (A), which you'll use to acquire a resource (B), and which to advance a marker (D).

All players reveal their A cards at the same time, then place them in one of the three slots at the top of their cardholder, leaving only the top half visible; the image depicted on the top of this card shows the special power that the owner of this card has available - until it is covered by another card. Players now reveal and discard their B-slot card simultaneously, collecting the goods depicted in its lower-left corner.

Each player in turn then places one of his scientists on a camp, first paying two resources of the type matching that camp. (If all of your scientists are on the board, you may move one of them.) If you now have a scientist on all of the tiles surrounding a jungle region, take that animal tile and score the victory points for it as noted on the board (4, 3 or 2 points).

Finally, players simultaneously reveal and discard their D-slot cards, advancing the value marker of the corresponding animal. You (and only you!) immediately score one point for each animal you have of that type. If you don't have an animal of that type you don't get any points. Each animal has a points threshold so that if you move an animal up, say, four times, each animal of this type is worth an extra point at the end of the game. The scale goes up to five, so that every animal can be worth up to five points at game end.?

When the sum of the five animal marker positions reaches or exceeds a certain number (7 in a 2-player game, 9 for 3 players, or 11 in a 4-player game), the game ends. Players tally their final scores to see who wins:

* Score 10 points for each complete set of 5 different animals.
* For each animal you possess, score points equal to its marker's position.
* Score 1 vp for every 2 remaining resources.

✪ Mayday Games coming through with Get Bit! ✪

✭ Get Bit! pits you and up to five friends in a life or limb race for the beach. Play your cards and swim as fast as you can, but don't get tangled up or you could end up at the back of the pack! Dismembering fun for the whole family.

You don't have to be faster than the shark, just faster than your friends!

Get Bit! is a card game where players are competing to stay alive as the others are being eaten by the shark.

The order of the swimmers is determined by simultaneously playing cards face-down then revealing the values. The number on each player's card determines position in line (higher numbers in front, lower numbers in back), however ties don't move. The swimmer at the back loses a limb to the shark and is flung to the front of the line! The process is repeated until only two swimmers remain on the table. When this happens, the swimmer at the front of the line wins the game! ✭️

💎 1830 Railways & Robber Barons (used) 💎
By Lookout Games

🔥 1830... It is the dawn of the "Age of Railroading" in America. You're a wealthy investor and speculator betting that the new technology will revolutionize transport. Commerce will no longer depend on rutted roads and slow canals. Instead, it will ride the rails on swift, powerful "Iron Horses."
1830™ is an acclaimed railroad investment and building game covering the years 1830 to present. You and your fellow players become the stockholders of America's first railroad corporations. Since the largest shareholder becomes president, you compete for control of the strongest firms. As president, generate revenue by building track and buying and operating trains--regardless of shareholders' needs.
Meanwhile, you pay heed to the volatile stock market. You strive to invest in flourishing companies in order to earn healthy dividends. You try to buy stock in corporations that are rising in value, collect strong, and sell before the stock values drop.
1830 contains updated rules and components for Francis Tresham's original classic design. The 2-sided board gives you different maps of the Eastern U.S.
So, get ready to be a railroad baron. Start investing and building. Become America's first great rail tycoon! 🔥
