Review & Description
"This expansion provides players with a new mechanic, 65 new Center Deck cards, and enough basic cards to expand the base game up to 6 players! In addition to all that, Ascension: Return of the Fallen can also be played as a stand-alone game with two players! The new Fate mechanic can change the course of a game with a single flip of a card! Appearing on Monsters, Heroes, and Constructs, cards with the Fate ability cause an effect to happen when they're revealed in the center row. The random effects can have big effects on the game, making every card that gets flipped into the center row that much more exciting! Ascension: Return of the Fallen is designed to be a 2-player standalone game, or expand Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer to play with up to 6 players! With brand new cards for every faction and strategy and frightening (read: fun to kill) Monsters, the 65 new Center Deck cards will shake up the game you know!" Read more

(Visit the Hot New Releases in Games list for authoritative information on this product's current rank.)
Review & Description
Battleship Galaxies is a space combat miniatures board game that is a distant cousin to the original Battleship game. The two opposing forces represented in the game, the human Intergalactic Space Navy and the alien Wretcheridians, are represented by 20 highly-detailed starship miniatures. There are figures for several different ship types and each has an individual reference card that defines the characteristics of that ship (e.g. weapons, movement, shields). The game is played on a star field hex board. The game is scenario driven and each scenario will define the goal of the game as well as initial board set-up. Each turn, players have a certain number of energy points that can be spent to perform actions, such as movement or fire. Combat is resolved by rolling special dice, a ten-sided die with letters and an eight-sided die with numbers. The resulting letter-number combination is compared to the target ship's reference card to determine the result. Hits on a ship are indicated by placing colored pegs in the figure's base. Read more

Review & Description
Small World Underground is a stand-alone game set beneath the surface of the same fun, light-hearted Small World universe of epic conquests and fallen empires. Featuring new Races and Special Powers, it also introduces a new twist to the original game play - Monster occupied regions that protect Relics and Places of great power. While more daunting to conquer, these bestow even greater powers to their owner.

Small World Underground can be played on its own or combined with other Small World game elements, as many of the Races and Sepcial Powers from the original game and previous expansions are compatible. Recommended for experienced Small World players, the game includes: 2 double-Sided Game Boards, 15 New Fantasy Races with matching banners and tokens, 21 New Special Power badges, 9 Popular Places and 6 Righteous Relics, 106 Victory Coins, dozens of additional special tokens, 5 Player and 1 Game Turn Summary Sheets, 1 Reinforcement Die, and Rules Booklet.

Review & Description
October 2, 1900 - it's 28 years to the day that noted London eccentric, Phileas Fogg accepted and then won a bet that he could travel "Around the World in 80 Days." Now, at the dawn of the century, some old friends have gathered to celebrate Fogg's impetuous and lucrative gamble - and to propose a new wager of their own. The stakes: $1 million in a winner-takes-all competition. The objective: to see the most cities in North America - in just 7 days. Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure game. Players collect train cards that enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who can fulfill their Destination Tickets by connecting two distant cities, and to the player who builds the longest continuous railway. For 2 to 5 players ages 8 and older. Playing time: 30-60 minutes. Comes with: 1 Board map of North American train routes, 240 Colored Train Cars, 110 Train Car cards, 30 Destination Tickets, 5 Wooden Scoring Markers, 1 Days of Wonder Online access number, and a Rules booklet.Join your friends in a race to claim railway routes across North America! Ticket to Ride, an award-winning strategy game, challenges players ages eight and older to complete multiple train routes connecting major cities. As miniature trains begin to populate the board map of North America, secret city-to-city rail connections are completed or hopelessly blocked by merciless competitors. Providing an enticing mixture of strategy and luck for groups of two to five players, Ticket to Ride squeezes the journey of a lifetime into a mere hour or less.

 Designed for two to five players, this highly-strategic board game will have players vying for train routes. View larger. |
All the action takes place on a detailed, color-illustrated board map of North America. Newbies will want to dedicate 10 to 15 minutes to the well-organized instruction manual, then pass out miniature trains, train-car cards, and destination tickets to each player. Game play is straightforward and consists of only three possible moves per turn: drawing an additional train-car card, drawing a destination ticket, or building a train route.
The train-car cards are color-coded to match specific railway routes, so the basic idea is to collect multiple cards of the same color and then claim a route to score points. Destination tickets present an added challenge by assigning secret routes such as "Seattle to Montreal" and awarding bonus points for completion of these routes. Because the tickets are kept secret, each player's plan for railway domination won't be revealed until the end!
Ride the Rails in Less than an Hour
Because Ticket to Ride only requires two players and can be played in less than an hour, opportunities abound for trying different strategies. While your success relies somewhat on the luck of the draw, part of the fun is trying different strategies like drawing extra destination tickets, discarding difficult tickets, or vying for the longest continuous route (worth 10 points).
Surprise Winners and Reversals of Fortune
Once the miniature trains are played out, each player's destination tickets are revealed. Because an incomplete route can result in a loss of as many as 22 points, last-minute reversals of fortune are commonplace, and victory is never guaranteed.
While those who are already familiar with the more intricate European version of Ticket to Ride might be disappointed by this simpler version, beginners are sure to find it a wonderful introduction to the Days of Wonder board game series. Purchase of the game includes access to online game play, where additional maps and game variants await.
What's in the Box
One board map of North American train routes, 240 colored train cars (including additional replacement cars), 144 illustrated cards, five wooden scoring markers, one rules booklet, one Days of Wonder online access ticket.
 Hatch elaborate plans on how to secure railway domination! View larger. |  The game features real-life locations across the North American continent. View larger. |
