New from AEG is Ready Set Bet, a game for 2 to 9 players and plays in 45 to 60 minutes.
And they’re off! Get ready to place your bets on nine fast moving racehorses. After four speedy races, the player with the most money will be the betting champion.
Ready Set Bet is played over four rounds. Each player starts the game with five betting tokens, numbered 2 through 5, of their color. One non-player will roll the dice, move the horses, and carry on with announcing the race progress. Or you can use an app for the dice rolls so everyone can be a player.
The game consists of a betting board with numerous places to place bets. Each horse has three Win spaces, two Place spaces, and two Show spaces in which to place bets. Each round consists of players betting on a single horse race while the action is happening. Once someone has placed a bet on a space no other player can bet on that same space. Each space has a multiplier to use with the bet token to determine the payout for that space. Beware, many spaces have little red numbers that indicate how much you lose if that bet is not a winner. Getting bets down early can be a real advantage. Additional betting spots are available for Color bets, Prop bets, and Exotic Finish bets. These spots are all cards that are randomly drawn and placed on the betting board before a race begins. Bets can be placed until the 3rd horse crosses a red line about two thirds of the way down the racetrack. As soon as a horse hits the finish line the race is over, wins and losses are paid out, and players get their betting tokens back. The racetrack and betting board is reset for the next race and then they’re off again.
Between races each player is dealt two VIP cards. They will choose and keep one and discard the other. These are special ability cards to use in betting for the races and can be used in each subsequent race. Players gain their first VIP card at the end of the first race which can then be used in the second, third, and fourth races. Their second card at the end of the 2nd race which can then be used along with the first VIP card in the third and fourth races, and so forth. So, by the start of the 4th and final race each player will have three VIP cards to use.
There are lots of ways to place your bets and it will change from race to race. Get your odds calculators for Ready Set Bet.

Mosaic: A Story of Civilization is a civilization building board game focusing on seven civilizations of the ancient world. Players will guild an ancient civilization from its founding. Decisions will determine whether it will thrive and win or falter only to be lost to the sands of time. This is a game of deep strategy. The key to success is in developing a strategy where the various elements work together to form a functioning civilization.
There is a lot going on in this game and lots of ways to score points. The goal of the game is to accumulate the most victory points. Let’s look at how victory points can be achieved. There will be three intermediate scoring rounds. These are triggered when a scoring card is revealed towards the end of each of the four card decks: build, population, technology, and tax & tariff. Each of the seven regions then scores 2 points for the second most influence and 3 points plus 1 point per city and wonder in the region, regardless of who owns them for the player with the most influence. Game end is triggered when the third scoring card is revealed. Final scores are then awarded 2 points per city, 1 point per town, points listed on each Golden age and each achievement tile, points per project cards based on number of icons of a certain type, points shown on technology cards, 5 points per manufactory town if matching goods are held, and finally, negative points for unrest if a player pushed tariffs too hard. The player with the most points wins.
To play Mosiac, players start the game with five population, one leader card (drafted), five technology cards (drafted), and one starting city placed on the location of a player’s choice. On each turn, a player can select one of eight actions. The work action produces resources of stone, food, or ideas. The Population action increases population. The Build action lets players pay the costs and construct a new city, a town, or build a great project. The Wonder action lets a player construct one of the nine wonders. The technology action lets a player acquire a new technology card. The Tax & Tariff action allow the player to collect money based on population or merchants. The Military action brings new recruits or move existing units. The Government action allow the player to form one of the six available governments.
Again, Mosaic is a game of deep strategy. The key to success is in developing a strategy where the various elements work together to form a functioning civilization. Finding the right combination of leader, government, wonders, technology, builds, currencies, and region domination will provide a wide variety of options and a game full of replays.

Each player will create their own tableau of nature tiles that are one of four basic colors: blue for water, green for earth, red for fire, and white for air. Tiles are taken in turn order from the central play area. Up to five will be available on each round.
