Railways of Nippon

Railways of Nippon is a 2 to 4 player stand-alone version of Railways of the World with a new map.  Players will create their own railroad and issue bonds to raise needed capital. Build track and link cities of your choice while competing for the most profitable routes.  Deliver valuable goods and reap greater profits for longer deliveries. Upgrade your locomotive and travel the longer, more lucrative routes.  Well time infusions of cash can help you pick up steam but taking too many bank bonds may hinder your ultimate goal of becoming the richest railroad baron of Japan.

Rival Realms

Rival Realms is an adventure card game for 1 to 2 players.

You and your opponent are rival magicians who are transported to the mystical world of Fantastiqa.  With only a shared pack of magical cards, you will compete to summon landscapes, explore diverse regions, recruit fabled beasts, and embark on quests.

Players play cards from their hands to create Regions and to go adventuring in each of their Rival Realms. By collecting Adventure Tokens, players gain the assistance of Creatures and Artifacts which allow them to perform special actions that help them explore further. The player who scores the most points by creating and exploring Regions, connecting Regions of the same type, and by completing Quests wins the game.
