Manifest

It's the roaring '20s and there's a fortune to be made steaming across the wild oceans. To succeed, you'll need a captain's steady nerve and the help of Lady Luck to land your cargo where it's needed. You have ships full of passengers and precious cargo, but can you outrun pirate robbers, terrifying storms and a stock market crash that might devalue your goods?

Manifest is a game of cargo ships, sea scoundrels, and nautical mayhem. Win points for your shipping company by completing Contracts. Pick up the required goods or passengers at their source, then navigate the high seas to deliver them to their destination. With a choice of private and public contracts and multi-purpose action cards, there are many paths to victory, and some "take that" options to make sure your opponents don't steal the limelight.

Manifest can be played in two ways: Standard and Expert. The Standard game is the introductory and family game. The Expert game builds on this, with a deck-buying and building mechanism replacing the blind card draw, thus adding another level of strategy that confident players may prefer.

Set in an alternate history of 1895, Galilean Moons is an award-winning  “starter Euro” big box game featuring the area control, worker placement, set collection, and hand management mechanics alongside a striking Art Deco outer space look. Game design and artwork were done by Lukus Adam, a first-time Kiwi game designer.

Travel to the four largest moons of Jupiter with your ten robot helpers. The robots take control of sectors of the moons in order to mine powerful crystals left behind from a mysterious meteor shower.

As you begin collecting crystals, you can use them to acquire unique new technologies, many of which augment the four possible player actions.

The game ends once players have cycled through the deck of cards twice, then you will calculate each player’s total points. Points are scored for having sets of crystals, having control of the different moons, and for various unique technologies you may have acquired.
