Climb the social ladder — or kick it over.

The trick-taking game Tax the Rich features a deck depicting characters of various social ranks from the Poor to the President. Each round begins with a simple bidding phase to determine both the trump color and the number of tricks required to score bonus points. The winner of the bid must then acquire the required number of tricks, together with their ally.

The year is 793, and the Northumbrian coast burns. The attack on Lindisfarne was but the first strike — more raiders will follow. As the rulers of Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria, and East Anglia, you must prepare your kingdom for the coming storm. Fortify your defenses and expand your kingdom with new cities. But take care –– the more you expand, the more you attract Vikings to your kingdoms, so it’s a balancing act. Will you emerge as the strongest realm, ready to stand against the Viking onslaught, or will your lands fall to fire and steel? The fate of Anglo-Saxon England rests in your hands.

Night Soil is a very mature game about sanitation in Tudor London.

As the exemplar of cultural progress in Europe, Tudor London (1485-1603) is at the spear’s edge of cultural and technological development. However, as modern plumbing is still generations away, the city is gradually filling up with human waste, making it a terribly fragrant place to live.

Fortunes of Scoundrel Bay EN

€55.00

You have finally reached the archipelago of Scoundrel Bay! Here, amidst treasures and dangers, fortune awaits any crew daring — or foolish — enough to seize it.

In Fortunes of Scoundrel Bay, players are pirate captains who try to collect the most gold by conquering harbors, seeking hideouts, delivering crates, digging up treasures, and gaining reputation by fighting monsters.

In the box, you'll find unique player power tiles, asymmetric player boards, screen-printed captain figures, screen-printed pirate ship figures, 108 pirate figures, event cards, and a lot more.

Fortunes of Scoundrel Bay is a high interaction game in which players compete to gain area‑majority over lucrative islands, outpace foes in an open draft of crew cards, race to engage monsters before others can, and outwit captains in tense blind bids — all without resorting to negative or take‑that attacks.
