The Battle of Midway

The selections of some of the "decisive battles" have sparked conversations over the years. Vicksburg over Gettysburg? The Metarus over Zama? Syracuse?No one has ever questioned the selection of Midway as the decisive battle of the Pacific War. All agree, this one changed everything, as the Japanese plan to "lure" the remaining US fleet to its destruction led to a strategic defeat, due to code breaking, heroism, and remarkable timing.Now, you can play out this exciting battle and see if you can do better. "Battle of Midway, June 3-6, 1942," give you all the parts you need to gain insight into the questions facing both sides. Paul Rohrbaugh's design blends clean simplicity with a fine level of detail (even accounting for the Japanese planes intended to be assembled and used on the captured island!). It includes an overview map-board of the area, an off-map battle board, and a variant map with Midway in detail, where, for the first time, you can pursue the actual Japanese invasion of the island and see what might have been.Rules cover battles in the air, air versus ship and versus land, surface to surface, submarines, seaplanes, and more, all designed to be fast and challenging. Replay value high.You know your history. Now, see if you can change it.Contents:176 large full-colour playing piecesMounted, full colour map1 smaller variant game island map12 pages of full-colour rules (plus 3 aids)

Gluck Auf

"Gluck Auf" is a traditional German salutation in the mining industry. It roughly translates as "Good luck!"ESSEN, on the verge of the 20th century: solar energy and clean power do not yet exist but there is "an endless supply of coal". You are the owners of coal mines, and it is your responsibility to produce lorries, send them below ground, and mine all the coal you can wrest from your pits. You must also acquire and fulfil orders to gain victory points. However, the orders are very specific about the kind of coal they demand. Since each kind is in a different pit level, you sometimes must go deeper... and this is expensive.Gluck Auf is a deep yet easy-to-learn board game that is as suitable for families as it is for experienced gamers. The pits ad their moving cages ensure a gaming delight on all "levels".Contents:1 Game board4 Pits4 Shaft inlays4 Pit cages48 Tunnel tiles44 Order cards64 wooden Coal cubes72 wooden Workers4 wooden Victory Point markers40 Bank notes7 Lock tiles1 Scoring marker1 Shift hand1 Starting Player marker2 rule books (German & English)

Canterbury

A Game of City Building in Dark Age BritainToward the end of the 6th century AD, King Ethelbert of Kent established the old Roman city of Canterbury as his new capital. In Canterbury, 2-4 players represent Saxon Lords who are charged with building the city into a prosperous capital. The Saxon Lords must use the city's meagre starting resources to build up the 25 districts of Canterbury and provide key services to its citizens.The key services are (in order from most basic to most prestigious) water, food, religion, defence, commerce, and culture. As new structures are built in the city, the city grows more prosperous. While each Saxon Lord jealously guards his or her own prosperity and achievements, they all benefit as a whole from the growing prosperity of the city itself. When the city reaches the peak of its prosperity, the game ends and the player with the most individual prosperity wins the game.Components:1 Game Board2 large Sideboards4 Player Boards4 Reference CardsOver 150 Cardboard TokensOver 200 Wooden Components1 Rulebook (English & German)
