Your goal is to build a farm for yourself and your family. At the start, you just have a wooden house with only two rooms, providing shelter for your first two people (the farmer and his spouse). During the course of the game, you can add more rooms to your house in order to grow your family. The more people you have, the more actions you can take. But you also have to feed your people during the harvest. To do so, you will need to plough fields and breed animals. Certain improvements may help you with that. After 14 rounds, the game ends. The player whose farm is worth the most points wins. This game takes the best of the popular classic Agricola and makes it more accessible for the entire family.

From designer Matt Leacock, Pandemic: Hot Zone North America is a completely cooperative game in which players win or lose as a team. As members of an elite disease-control unit, you must work together to discover cures to three deadly diseases threatening the continent. Travel from city to city treating cases and preventing outbreaks as you research the cures together. Use your character’s unique abilities and devise a strategy that plays to each player’s strengths - cooperation is key to keeping disaster at bay! Based on the bestselling Pandemic, Hot Zone features the same nail-biting cooperative experience as you play against the game itself, but in a smaller form that you can take anywhere and play in a shorter amount of time. Every game is a challenge that you'll tackle together, working to contain outbreaks and making strategic choices as a team. Can you discover all three cures in time?

Wild animals wander across the African plains in their natural habitat. Brave the sweltering sun and join the safari group to explore the plains and spot the many wondrous animals that live there. Climb the baobab tree to get a birds-eye view, walk the trails and spot the animals hiding in the bush, blaze new trails with the ranger vehicles, and dig watering holes where wildlife can peacefully gather. On your journey across the plains, you’ll discover many different animals. Monkeys swing in the trees, lions repose in the shade, and the ground shakes under the thunderous footfalls of elephants. While animals one and all gather at the watering holes; trek out into the bush, lie in wait, and see the majesty of nature unfold. Just like in Carcassonne, you have the option to place meeple on features as you discover them and score points once they’re completed. But with Carcassonne: Safari, variety is key. Keep a keen eye as you continue your exploration. Whoever spots the most animals will amass the most points and be declared the winner!

As you venture into the South American rainforest, river and jungle alike abound with colourful wildlife that create a spectacular panorama. But you have little time to appreciate the serenity of the moment: Others are heading into the wilderness to build camps and explore down the river. The race is on! Carcassonne: Amazonas sends you on a journey down the Amazon as you fill in the river and surrounding areas, one tile at a time. Along the way, discover many wonderful secrets deep in the rainforest. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide whether you want to place your meeples or camps on the features you discover, or if you want to forge ahead of the competition and push farther down the river. Whoever amasses the most points on their journey will be declared the winner! All sorts of things are waiting to be discovered in the jungle. On your journey, you’ll come across many animals, visit villages, and walk along the many tributaries of the Amazon River. Just like in Carcassonne, you have the option to place meeples on these features as you discover them and score points once they’re completed. But with Carcassonne: Amazonas, it takes more than just cunning tile placement to win - it’s also a race down the Amazon River itself. When a tile is added to the river, the player whose boat is farthest down the river scores points equal to the number of piranhas and caimans that appear on that tile. To become a legendary explorer, you'll need to strike the right balance between placing your meeples and camps and staying ahead of the competition! Carcassonne: Amazonas is the third title in the "Carcassonne Around the World" series.
