Citrus

Orangesor lemonsor both?Create a new plantation or extend an existing one? Collect landscape tiles or rather build onto a Finca in order to cultivate the most points during the next evaluation? Citrus provides players with new challenges, and little is left to chance. The moves are simple, but the decisions are tricky.In order to build, it is essential to harvest your plantations from time to time, as this is the only way to bring new income into your account. But when is the timing right? And, most importantly, which plantation should I harvest, and thus take out of the race for the important points during the Finca scoring? Citrus contains a simplified family variant, as well as a short version of the game. Citrus is particularly suitable for 2 players.Simple moves - tricky decisions!1. Build: Select a row from the market (marked with arrows) and buy all the plantations from that row. Then pay 1 coin for each plantation and build them immediately.2. Harvest: Instead of building, you may harvest one or more of your plantation regions. After scoring a region of plantations (some count double), take the worker from that region and place it back on your own board. Then you receive your income.Comtents:1 double-sided game board5 player boards1 plantation market90 plantation tiles15 Finca (house) tiles30 landscape tiles1 cloth bag30 workers in 5 colours5 money tiles15 building site tiles1 rule book

Gallipoli, 1915: Churchill's Greatest Gamble

Scenarios:Clearing Sedd el Bahr (Training)Kemal's Counter-attack (Introductory)1st Battle of Krithia (Introductory)Historical landing at AnzacHistorical landing at Cape HellesCombined historical landing on Peninsula (Anzac & Helles)Free Landing Scenario (High replay value)On 25th April 1915, Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, launched a hastily assembled force of British, Australian, New Zealand and French troops against the Ottoman defences on the Gallipoli peninsula. Their goal was to capture the Turkish forts that guarded the Dardanelles. The Entente fleets would then capture Constantinople, and open up a supply line to Russia. Defending the beaches was an equal number of Ottoman divisions, hardened in the recent Balkan Wars, with advisers from the German General Staff. Ultimately the campaign was a bloody disaster for the Entente, although it gave birth to the ANZAC legend and initiated Mustafa Kemal's rise to become the founder of modern Turkey.The game covers the first three days from the landing, a time of wild maneuver, of decisive attacks parried by the timely arrival of reinforcements. Orders are issued to Brigade and Regiment. To win you must learn the practical operational tempo.The heart of the game is choosing your own plan. Can you, as the Entent, open up the Dardanelles, or as the future Atataturk, achieve a 100-year victory by pushing the Western powers back into the sea? Careful planning can achieve complete victory for either side.Game contentsRifle & Spade series rulesPlaybookSetup and reinforcement booklet2 (identical) Charts and Tables bookletsPlayer aid cards (19 total)6 Counter sheets 8.5" x 11"2 maps 22" x 34"Dice x5 (D10s)

No Retreat: The French and Polish Fronts

Following on the success of No Retreat! where the Russian Front of World War II beckons, and then taking the action to the African Front, game designer Carl Paradis presents the third chapter in this game series, No Retreat 3: The French & Polish Fronts.The "Phony War" ended in May of 1940 as the German Army unleashed blitzkrieg attacks into Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg in preparation for their audacious plan to invade France. Dubbed "Case Yellow" (Fall Gelb), it relied on a surprise attack with armoured forces through the Ardennes Forest that the French had deemed impenetrable. A German staff study proved otherwise, and their panzers were pushed through this broken wooded terrain with deft speed, catching the Allies by surprise with their appearance.In NR: The French & Polish Fronts., players command the Allied or German forces, operating them in accordance to one of several historical plans (represented by Plan cards). Manoeuvring forces over hexes that are approximately 18 miles across, over turns that represent 2-4 days of real time each, the vaunted No Retreat series card-assisted game systems are there to create on-map puzzles around each hex, unit and battle as the tense engagements rage back-and-forth and nothing is entirely predictable.Designer Carl Paradis has made an exhaustive study to answer the question, "Could France have staved off total defeat in 1940?" His research yields a resounding, "Yes!," and the simulation elements of NR: The French & Polish Fronts., combined with its novel gameplay elements, offer a rich and insightful presentation of this controversial military campaign that shaped the trajectory of World War II.Bonus GameBut wait, there is more! For this deluxe edition, complete with a 2-sided mounted map and oversized counters, the 1939 Polish Campaign was also added.This little-simulated battle will see many new concepts implemented into the No Retreat! game system. Given that both sides had never seen battle before and the units were mostly untried and green, a "Fog of War" game system is in use, adding much replayability to this simulation. Some intriguing "what if" hypothetical historical options are also added: Could have France intervened more effectively, the USSR acted differently? What if Czechoslovakia was never taken over by the Nazis? Poland better prepared? All these and more are yours to try out.

Star Trek: Attack Wing D'Kora Class Card Pack

EXPAND AND UPGRADE YOUR STAR TREK ATTACK WING GAME!During the mid-24th century, Starfleet had very little data on the Ferengi D'Kora class.

Upon seeing this ship class for the first time, Jean-Luc Picard described it as a "very impressive design." The D'Kora class is equipped with a myriad of directed energy weapons positioned on the port and starboard sides, a torpedo launcher located at the centre of the ship's front, and a forward facing missile launcher.GAME CONTENTS11 cards16 tokensSome elements contained in this pack require the D'Kora class Miniature from the 71806 - Kreechta Expansion Pack.
