Games

This year we’re working on five projects. Two new games, two expansions and an anniversary edition. We hope you will enjoy playing them as much as we enjoyed making them.

Tzolk’in – the Mayan Calendar

Author: Daniele Tascini and Simone Luciani
Players: 2 – 4
Time: 90 mins
Age: 13+

Description:
The Maya were a highly developed civilization known for its unique art, complex architecture, sophisticated mathematics and advanced knowledge of the stars. At the heart of their society was a mysterious calendar – Tzolk’in. With a length of 260 days, it could predict the right time to plant seeds, the time to build monuments, the day a new baby would be born as well as the movement of the planets. It was the centerpiece of the Mayan cycle of life.
We invite you to become one of the ajaw, the leaders of Mayan tribes. Please the gods and lead your clan to prosperity!

As in the life of ancient Maya, the center of our game is the Tzolk’in calendar – a set of gears that rotate each round of the game. This unique system helps you to visualize the cyclic flow of time and plan your actions in advance. Harvest crops now, or wait for them to grow a little more for higher yield? All will be clear to see on the wheels of time.

Goblins Inc.

Author: Filip Neduk
Players: 2 – 4
Time: 45 mins
Age: 11+

Description:
You are a goblin employee in a factory called “GOBLINS INC.” that is dedicated to building giant robots for war and enjoyment. You will enter a competition to become the new “Big Boss”, since the old one finally chose to hang up his trusted whip and retire. You will form teams and try to design, build and test the best giant robot possible in wild earth-shattering combat. The problem is, although you will have to work in teams, there can be only one winner.
During the game, the players will team up and will take turns designing and building a robot together. They will then cooperate in piloting and shooting at the other team with their robot in a grand battle of epic proportions. But what your teammates do not know is that you have secret goals with which to impress the “Big Boss”. Can you keep your teammate happy and still destroy the enemy robot?
Anything is possible because there is no “G” in teamwork.

Dungeon Lords: Festival Season

Author: Vlaada Chvátil
Players: 2 – 4
Time: 120 mins
Age: 13+

Description:
Dungeon Lords: Festival Season is a big expansion that includes lots of Dungeon Lording goodness.

The game is still played over two years, but now each year has five rounds instead of four: winter, spring, summer, autumn and festival season. More time to build your dungeon, but also more time for adventurers to gather a larger party. There are new monsters, rooms, and traps to prepare your dungeon for the battle, but also new nasty spells for the adventurers and sneaky bards who encourage them to perform so-called “heroic” deeds – not to mention two paladins each year, now ready to punish the two most evil players.
Would you like to push other players toward evil instead of moving yourself toward good when visiting the city? What about making an investment instead of traditional gold digging? Or what about repairing conquered tunnels or rooms instead of digging new ones? Only eight actions are still available to you, but each season one of those actions is replaced by an alternate set of spaces that offer new and intriguing options.

And did we mention that it has recently become fashionable for Dungeon Lords to have their own personal pets?

Galaxy Trucker: Another Big Expansion

Author: Vlaada Chvátil
Players: 2 – 5
Time: 60 – 90 mins
Age: 13+

Description:
Veteran Truckers Wanted! Corporation Incorporated, after years of successful business in the far reaches of the known universe, is looking for experienced galaxy truckers, who are willing to go the extra parsec for high sums of cosmic credits. Commitment to longer flights required, advanced close combat training a big plus.

Did the first Big Expansion challenge your piloting skills? Are you confident enough to brave new challenges and take advantage of new opportunities? Do you want to make your game harder and more complex, or would you like to even the odds a little in favor of players who are new to the game?
This expansion gives you this and more! It gives you several different rules and components with which to modify and improve your game more to your play-style. This expansion can be used with just the original Galaxy Trucker or together with the Big Expansion.

Galaxy Trucker: Anniversary Edition

Author: Vlaada Chvátil
Players: 2 – 5
Time: 60 – 90 mins
Age: 13+

Description:
Space… The final frontier. The biggest freeway to roam and make a quick buck! It has been five years since Corporation Incorporated started its new and progressive policy to deliver goods and construction materials to the struggling outer rim colonies. During that time, an army of eccentrics and roughnecks joined the ranks of brave truckers and trekked to the farthest reaches of the galaxy in ramshackle spaceships of their own construction.

Planets have been explored, space stations looted and ships have crashed. It is time to celebrate! Not because celebration expenses are tax deductible, it’s because Corporation Incorporated cares.
The Anniversary Edition is the ultimate Galaxy Trucker experience. From the classic Galaxy Trucker through both Big Expansions, it contains everything we have released so far and some goodies to top it off. In a single big box you will get all the tiles, cards, spaceship schematics, tokens, rules and figures you and your friends will need for the greatest Galaxy Trucker game.
Available while stocks last.
