Duelin' Wizards! 🪕🧙🏼‍♂️



Roll the dice, choose the ones you want, and put them together in pairs to create your dominoes. Domino by domino, fill in your map while entrusting the territories of your kingdom to loyal dignitaries. Gather favors from wizards in order to cast powerful spells that will allow you to rule without having to share.

Kingdomino Duel is a standalone game that preserves the essence of the acclaimed original Kingdomino. In this game, instead of adding dominoes to your kingdom, you will choose two dice to combine into a single "domino" that must then be drawn into your kingdom.

School or Get School'd 🐟🐠🦈



There's turmoil at the reef, with different sea animals forming swarms again and again.

Each turn in Aqualin, the active player selects one of six stones and places it on an empty field. One player is trying to make groups of the same color, while the other is forming groups of identical sea creatures, with players having the ability to move a stone before placing a new one to form new swarms. The larger the group, the more points it's worth, and whoever scores the most points wins!

This brand new 2-player abstract game from KOSMOS plays in 15 minutes, but the strategies you develop and ways you attempt to out-fox your opponent will have you coming back over and over!

Transform the dry desert into the Lost Hanging Gardens of Babylon



From the award-winning designer Bruno Cathala, Ishtar is a game in which you play the role of a gardener aiming to transform the dry desert into the Lost Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

To accomplish your mission, you will have to plant flowers, which, if you place them well, can help you gather precious gems and activate actions. Whether to buy Trees (which will block the link between two Flower spots, as well as earning you points) or to purchase upgrades (such as getting two more points per Tree card at the end of the game), collecting gems will be a crucial part of the game.



Get them before your opponents, recruit apprentices, send them to earn points in the copses of flowers you have created, block others and think carefully of the upgrades to purchase if you want to become the best gardener at the end of the game!

3 New DLC Come To Steam



3 new games have made their way to Steam as DLC! If you don't want a Premium membership, but would like LIFETIME access to a particular game, you can now buy the following as one-off purchases:

[h2]Sub Terra 2: Inferno's Edge[/h2]



Sub Terra II: Inferno's Edge is a cooperative adventure board game. You and up to five friends must explore a tile-based volcano temple to steal a legendary artifact. To get it, you must find the path to the inner sanctum, unlock the secrets within, then escape the way you came.

This is a dangerous place. You'll need to work as a team to avoid deadly traps, brave scorching lava and defeat the temple's mysterious guardians. Stick together to share your skills, or split up to cover more ground. But beware - the volcano stirs beneath you, and you're running out of time...

[h2]Newspeak[/h2]



NewSpeak is a game of code-breaking and subterfuge, set in a bleak near future for three to eight players.

In the not-too-distant future, Britain is a high-tech paradise. Its citizens live and work in an augmented reality that makes the real world seem dull. Crime has virtually vanished, thanks largely to the security app ‘ModNet’. Employing thousands of casual workers to analyse and identify possible undesirables using a vast network of data, Modnet sells this information on to corporations big and small. ‘Moderated’ citizens find themselves barred from shops and workplaces, never knowing who blacklisted them or why.

A small group of dissidents seeks to challenge ModNet’s hold on society and disrupt the tech corporations that use it. Attempting to evade the Moderators’ notice, they swap coded messages online, planning to hack communications hubs at various locations to disable ModNet’s grotesque distortion of reality.

[h2]Aquanauts[/h2]



In Aquanauts, players take the role of deep sea researchers scouring the depths of the darkest reaches of the ocean for insights into life beneath the waves.

You'll share a research base at the bottom of the ocean with your rivals, as well as set up your own laboratory systems to extract the right samples.

After coordinating your robotic assistants and your specialist Aquanaut to extract the best from the labs, you'll send your findings to the surface to cash in on the fame of publishing a paper of your findings - but be careful, your rivals are also trying to do the same thing! Plan your research carefully and get to the surface first.

Aquanauts features an accessible engine building and resource management puzzle wrapped in a worker placement system, providing a great introduction to euro style gaming as well as giving an entertaining experience to veteran gamers who want to explore the deep ocean.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We hope that these DLC options give you more flexibility with how you use the platform, and remember - if you want to play the game with friends, only the host of the game needs to own the DLC!

The Industrial Revolution Was Never So Much Fun! 🏭



Your favourite spreadsheet simulator is back as a card game - Arkwright: The Card Game is currently on Kickstarter, but you can play it for yourself right now!

In the 18th century the Industrial Revolution starts. The first factories are founded by businessmen like Richard Arkwright who run the first factory for wool spinning with machines like the Spinning Jenny and the water frame.

In Arkwright: The Card Game you run a business and you will employ workers in your factories to produce and sell goods. The more workers that have a job, the more goods that can be sold - but be prepared for crises and competitors.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The game is played in 3 decades (1770/1780/1790) with 4 rounds per decade.

On your turn you play new cards to open factories & upgrade existing ones, select improvements, improve factory quality, build machines, and to employ new workers. You can also pay money to improve your stock holdings, and take out loans if you require more money for production costs.

After the card playing phase you can improve abilities by marking improvements on your score sheet.

Now each factory, for each type of good, will produce. The market fluctuates with demand, the demand may be lower than the value you produce, decreasing your profit. Workers in these factories must be payed, and machines operating in your play area need regular maintenance, so it is possible you will lose money instead of turning a profit. Selling enough of one good will improve your share holdings, and there are bonuses for having the highest appeal.

Lastly if you can’t sell in England you can ship goods overseas or store them for future rounds.

After the final round of decade 1790 the game ends. Players will sell all storehouse goods, reduce the number of shares they hold by the number of loans, and reduce further based on their personal shipping track. Then each player multiplies the number of shares by the value of his shares to determine score.

The player with the highest score wins.
