Carnival is a lively strategy game where players build attractions, manage money, and improve their shows to earn the most points. On each turn, place tiles, buy useful upgrades, and watch your rivals’ plans. Smart timing matters, since the player who triggers the finale can shape the final scoring.

Politico is a strategy game about influence, alliances, and sharp political timing. Players gather resources, court supporters, and build voting blocs while trying to push their plans through. Make deals, watch your rivals, and choose when to act. The player with the strongest influence and best-timed moves wins the political circus.

Brew is a tactical woodland game where players roll dice, claim forest spaces, gather resources, and use creature powers to restore the land. Each turn brings tough choices: chase rare ingredients, block rivals, or save dice for powerful actions. After the final round, the player with the best mix of forests and potions wins.

Aliens is a tense cooperative survival game where players control marines, explore rooms, fight swarms, gather gear, and complete mission goals before the creatures overwhelm them. Each turn brings tough choices, noisy trouble, and plenty of shouting around the table. Work together, or become space monster snacks.

Faces is a lively guessing game where players study expressions, make clever guesses, and score points for reading the table well. On each turn, choose your move, watch how others react, and judge when to play it safe or take a chance. The player with the most points wins.
