Karak: Labyrinth is the most accessible game from the world of Karak. Players simultaneously try to find the best path through the labyrinth of Karak, and to gain the most points maximizing the completion of three objectives, randomly selected from a vast pool of objective cards.

Players must not retrace their own steps and to pass important points of interest – such as a sword to be gained – they must solve the corresponding puzzle mini-game, of which there are several different kinds in the game. And it all happens within a time limit.

Rules-wise everything is as simple as possible, and the game will include a tutorial campaign, which means you can start playing as soon as you unpack the game.

On your turn in Toy Battle, you either draw two toy troops or place a troop on the board and apply its effect. When you place a troop, you can place it on an empty base, a base that you control, a base that the enemy controls with a lower-valued troop than the one you’re placing, or the enemy’s headquarters; however, in all cases you must place on a location that has a continuous path to your own headquarters through bases that you occupy, that is, that have your troop on top. If you occupy bases that form a continuous path around a region, you claim the medals within this region. (You don’t lose these medals if the enemy later occupies one of these bases.)

The game ends as soon as you occupy your opponent’s headquarters or win the required number of medals based on the current game board. If a player cannot draw or place a troop, the game ends, and whoever has the most medals wins.

As the kingdom’s not-so-mightiest heroes — Pitiless Pixie, Knovice Knight, Unique Unicorn, Merciless Mercenary, and Gnarled Gnome — you’ll go on adventures to gather the three pieces of the magic key, then hop through a portal to defeat the Demon King once and for all.

This new version gives players greater control over the whims of the dice. You’ll use your collection of items to tweak your rolls. But make sure you have the right item ready when you go on an adventure to give you an easier path through. You’ll get magic items and companions along the way as well. It also adds a new endgame in which you need to face a series of mini-challenges to win the game.

Quick! All hands on deck! Grab your sabers, pistols, and cannons! Join forces and coordinate your actions to save your ship before Tootone makes smashes 4 holes in your ship!

In Kraken Attack!, you use pirate skills, repair damage to the ship, and choose the best weapons possible to stay afloat and keep the kraken at bay!

On each turn, move the tentacules closer to the ship, depending on the results of your dice rolls. If they are already in the Saber Zone, DISASTER, they attack the ship!
If there is a Ship’s Rail: The Tentacle destroys the rail! Remove the corresponding rail from the board and move the Tentacle back to its BUBBLES space on the Ship board.
If there is no Ship’s Rail: The Tentacle smashes a hole in the Ship! Place a Hole token face-up on the Boat Area and move the Tentacle back to its BUBBLES space on the Ship board.

It’s time to fight back! Play one action card, and apply the effects depending on the symbol(s). Don’t forget the funny face if there is one on the card! It makes the kraken very angry! After completing all the actions on your card, you must move the Kraken one spot forward on the Kraken Track.

When the Kraken gets to the final spot on its Track, it’s really mad! The next Funny Face causes the Kraken to appear on the Ship board! Choose one of the Tentacles on the Ship board and replace it with the Kraken.

In Cascadia Junior, players take turns drafting habitat tiles and adding them to their environment. They must try to match the same habitats to grow their habitat corridors and score more points while creating groups of three wildlife icons on connected tiles. Once they make matches, they earn wildlife and habitat sighting tokens that they can add to their panorama board, where they will make their own personal picture of the Cascadian wilderness! At the end of the game, all players flip over their sighting tokens to discover the conifer cones they have collected. The player with the most cones wins!

Cascadia Junior is a stepping stone game that will allow children to learn the basics of pattern matching. Over time, they can use the included wildlife scoring cards with the advanced mode, which requires more complex shapes for each wildlife group. Once children gain familiarity with that mode, they can try out the family mode of the base Cascadia game and eventually the full Cascadia experience!
