Orléans is a strategic board game set in medieval France, where players compete to gain supremacy through trade, construction, and science by assembling a diverse following of characters like farmers, merchants, knights, and monks.

2006 is the year of the Football World Cup, and Ligretto, the fast-paced action card game, pays tribute to the event.

Players deploy followers to navigate through France, gather resources, construct buildings, set up trading posts, earn money, and contribute to noble deeds. The player who makes the best use of their chosen followers scores the most points and wins.

Players are socialites trying to collect as many high-quality luxury goods as they can handle. A variety of luxury items, such as boats, villas, and watches, are arranged in a matrix with values ranging from one million to seven million. Players take turns placing power cards in columns, and after five out of six cards are played, the highest bid in each column claims the first luxury item, while collecting duplicates causes players to replace older items with newer ones. The highest valued collection at the end of the designated rounds is deemed the best.

Altiplano, a bag-building game set in the Andes' highlands, invites players into a world of strategic resource management and production. Reminiscent of Orléans, it challenges players to optimize their resource gathering and utilization in a competitive environment where efficient production can lead to victory.

Players navigate their boats in areas determined by the cards they draw, aiming to be part of a capture team with nearby boats. Sometimes, a player takes on the role of the "Flying Dutchman," able to reach more locations but vanishing once a capture happens. Additionally, players can position themselves as the main trader during a conquest, allowing them to pay surrounding boats while ultimately earning more money by the end of the game.

Welcome to the South Seas! As residents of Moorea, players compete for valuable items and impressive buildings. Collect wood and bamboo to build canoes and huts, or try to create the longest shell necklace.

Players traverse various eras and face diverse challenges while settling the Loire Valley. They engage in agriculture, animal husbandry, and construction while navigating times of prosperity and adversity, including hunger and disease. The game features two storylines: "The First Kingdom," which spans eight epochs, and "The King's Favor," a shorter, more accessible introduction that keeps players on edge with timed tasks and competitive scoring.
