Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy is an enhanced version of the original Eclipse game, first released in 2011. It's a grand strategy game set in the depths of space, where players lead their own interstellar civilizations to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate.

Players expand their farm using tiles and perform actions in town over eight years. Each year is divided into spring, summer, autumn, and winter, where players add tiles in spring, gather resources in summer, visit the town in autumn, and feed their workers in winter.

Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy is a grand strategy board game set in a vast, peaceful galaxy that's on the brink of a major interstellar conflict. Players take control of one of the major spacefaring civilizations, navigating through a tense period of growing discord and shifting alliances after a long-lasting peace enforced by the Galactic Council. The game challenges players to expand their civilization's influence through exploration, technological advancement, and warfare, while carefully balancing their strategies against the actions of rival civilizations.

Players explore an ancient temple and solve various problems to move from room to room. Solutions come from four categories: tangrams, block stacking, canal building, and balance challenges. Successful players expand the temple with new room tiles and can occupy spaces with their archaeologists, earning points once all ends of a chain are closed. The game ends when someone reaches 15 points, with the highest scorer declared the winner.

Principato is a tactical game designed for 2-4 players by Touko Tahkokallio. Players develop their small, unprotected principalities in Northern Italy over three eras, balancing the need for expansion with the production of money and food. Unique action cards available to all players add a layer of strategy, requiring them to choose and time their actions wisely while adapting their tactics throughout the game.
