Pandemic - The Cure
Roll dice to defeat four diseases threatening the world.
2-5 Players | 30+ Mins | Ages 8+
Features: Cooperative Game, Dice Rolling, Hand Management, Point to Point Movement, Push Your Luck, Re-rolling and Locking, Set Collection, Solo / Solitaire Game, Tags, Variable Player Powers
Theme: Dice, Environmental, Medical
Description:
In this dice-based version of Pandemic, curing diseases that plague humanity comes down to a roll of the dice—literally!
ROLL YOUR DICE
Pandemic: The Cure is a stand alone, dice-based version of classic cooperative Pandemic board game. Just like the original, you win or lose together as your team travels the globe treating diseases and keeping hot spots in check while researching cures. In this version, though, rolling dice determines everything from the outcome of your actions to the behavior of diseases. Each character has both a unique ability and a set of dice you roll at the start of each turn. Depending on the results, you can fly or sail between population centers, treat diseases in your region, collect samples for further study, or exchange information with other players. Try for the perfect turn by rerolling your unused dice, but each biohazard symbol that comes up brings you one step closer to the next epidemic.
ROLL FOR A CURE
Dice represent more than just actions in Pandemic: The Cure. Each round, roll new infection dice and assign the results to regions around the world. An outbreak occurs if more than three dice of the same color occupy the same region, thereby spreading disease into adjacent regions. You can lock one of your dice to collect disease samples and fend off global disaster. Once you have enough, roll the collected samples of one color to attempt to find a cure. On a combined result of thirteen or more, you find the cure for that disease! Play the odds as you re-roll your player dice, ward off outbreaks and epidemics, and search for cures. No matter what you roll, the fate of the world is in your hands!

A Feast for Odin (2016)
Puzzle together the life of a Viking village as you hunt, farm, craft, and explore.
1-4 Players | 30-120 Mins | Ages 12+
Using the central board in A Feast for Odin, players have to hunt, gather basic materials, refine those materials, develop their production-buildings, build/buy ships, and raid settlements.
The resulting earnings are placed on the players' board in the best possible pattern to produce income and (later) victory points.
A Feast for Odin is a saga in the form of a board game. You are reliving the cultural achievements, mercantile expeditions, and pillages of those tribes we know as Viking today — a term that was used quite differently towards the end of the first millennium.
When the northerners went out for a raid, they used to say they headed out for a viking. Their Scandinavian ancestors, however, were much more than just pirates. They were explorers and founders of states. Leif Eriksson is said to be the first European in America, long before Columbus.
In what is known today as Normandy, the intruders were not called Vikings but Normans. One of them is the famous William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. He managed to do what the king of Norway failed to do only a few years prior: conquer the Throne of England. The reason the people of these times became such strong seafarers was their unfortunate agricultural situation: crop shortfalls caused great distress.
In this game, you will raid and explore new territories. You will also engage in the day-to-day activity of collecting goods with which to achieve a financially secure position in society. In the end, the player whose possessions bear the greatest value will be declared the winner.
A Feast for Odin is a points-driven game, with a plethora of pathways to victory, with a range of risks balanced against rewards. A significant portion of this is your central hall, which has a whopping -86 points of squares and a major part of your game is attempting to cover these up with various tiles. Likewise, long halls and island colonies can also offer large rewards, but they will have penalties of their own.
Each year follows a familiar pattern of preparation, worker placement, and then meeting the requirements of your feast. The main phase of each year is a worker placement affair. You start with a selection of Vikings, and a large action board with a whopping 61 different options to choose from. Each of these will be arranged from left to right in one of four columns. Each column requires an additional Viking to activate, but they are proportionally more powerful.
At the end of each round, you will need to fill a feast table with food, alternating between plants and vegetable matter. You will also have a chance to lay the valuable green and blue tiles into your main hall. The configuration of these tiles must follow certain requirements, but your main goal is to both cover up a line of coin icons to increase your income, while otherwise encircling certain printed icons to generate those.
You will build your engine over time, following an alternating pattern of outward expansion and hunting against development and cultivation. It all comes down to how much you’re willing to take on at any one time, and what risks you’re willing to set yourself up with for their rewards.

At some point in the not-so-distant future, we humans had to look for a new place to live. Just when we thought we'd have to settle for Mars, we suddenly discovered a new planet, one we lovingly christened "Planet B". It was a second chance for humanity, and of course we were determined to do everything right this time because as everyone knows, we humans learn very well from our mistakes...
In Planet B, you slip into the role of corrupt governors. You make crooked deals with corporations to advance your own interests. You build your city, let the population work for you, rise in the favor of political factions, or control the news. Of course, all of this comes at a price — and by the time you're vying for the presidency, you'll want potential voters to be on your side. In the end, as always, only one thing counts: Who has managed to pocket the most government money?
•••
Irgendwann in einer nicht mehr so weit entfernten Zukunft, mussten wir Menschen uns ein neuen Lebensraum suchen. Gerade als wir dachten, uns mit dem Mars zufrieden geben zu müssen, entdeckten wir plötzlich einen neuen Planeten - wir tauften ihn liebevoll Planet B.
Dort sollten wir also eine zweite Chance bekommen. Und natürlich hatten wir fest vor, diesmal alles richtig zu machen. Denn wie jeder weiß, lernen wir Menschen sehr gut aus unseren Fehlern...
In Planet B schlüpft ihr in die Rolle korrupter Gouverneurinnen. Ihr schließt krumme Deals mit Konzernen ab, um eure eigenen Interessen durchzusetzen. Ihr baut eure Stadt auf und lasst die Bevölkerung für euch arbeiten, steigt in der Gunst politischer Fraktionen auf oder kontrolliert die Nachrichten.
Natürlich hat das alles seinen Preis - spätestens, wenn ihr um die Präsidentschaft wetteifert, wollt ihr eure potenziellen Wähler auf eurer Seite wissen. Am Ende zählt wie immer nur eins: wer hat es geschafft, die meisten Staatsgelder in die eigene Tasche zu stecken?

2-4 Players | 45 Mins | Ages 8+
As skilled members of a disease-fighting team, you must keep four deadly diseases at bay while discovering their cures. You and your teammates will travel across the globe, treating infections while finding resources for cures. You must work as a team to succeed. Pandemic is a cooperative game, all players win or lose together. The clock is ticking as outbreaks and epidemics fuel the spreading plagues. Can you find all four cures in time? The fate of humanity is in your hands!
Content:
Board, showing the world’s major cities
7 Role cards, with matching pawns

6 Wooden markers
96 Disease cubes
48 Infection cards
59 Player cards
Reference cards and rulebook
In Pandemic, several virulent diseases have broken out simultaneously all over the world! The players are disease-fighting specialists whose mission is to treat disease hotspots while researching cures for each of four plagues before they get out of hand.
The game board depicts several major population centers on Earth. On each turn, a player can use up to four actions to travel between cities, treat infected populaces, discover a cure, or build a research station. A deck of cards provides the players with these abilities, but sprinkled throughout this deck are Epidemic! cards that accelerate and intensify the diseases' activity. A second, separate deck of cards controls the "normal" spread of the infections.
Taking a unique role within the team, players must plan their strategy to mesh with their specialists' strengths in order to conquer the diseases. For example, the Operations Expert can build research stations which are needed to find cures for the diseases and which allow for greater mobility between cities; the Scientist needs only four cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal five—but the diseases are spreading quickly and time is running out. If one or more diseases spreads beyond recovery or if too much time elapses, the players all lose. If they cure the four diseases, they all win!
The 2013 edition of Pandemic includes two new characters—the Contingency Planner and the Quarantine Specialist—not available in earlier editions of the game.
Pandemic is the first game in the Pandemic series.
