New factions and battlefields join the world of Root!

The Great Underground Duchy: an imperial faction that mixes the flexibility of the Marquise with the escalating Eyrie Dynasties.

Two new maps: dig tunnels on the mountain map or fight to control the ferry on the lake map.
Ascension: Darkness Unleashed is both a standalone game for two players and an expansion that can be combined with Ascension: Rise of Vigil or other Ascension games.

7 Wonders
The board game with more awards than any other game on the planet.
With over 30 international awards, and over a million copies sold throughout the world, rediscover 7 Wonders, the game which has won more awards than any other game in the world, in a whole new version. Lauded by both the public and critics, 7 Wonders has claimed its place as an unmissable reference point in modern board gaming. 7 Wonders is based on a simple and elegant mechanic (drafting) which allows up to 7 players to play with no dead time. Players make their choice and apply all of them at the same time. These choices are varied and their impact is real. Finally, the game is divided into 3 Ages which little by little increase the importance of these choices and thus the tension in the game. The global mechanics and the care given to the artwork are used to immerse the player in Antiquity and have contributed to the game’s success.

The giants have come to Kingdomino! And they will crush all your precious buildings if you can't find a way to send them off to one of your opponents' kingdoms.
Kingdomino: Age of Giants is an expansion that requires either Kingdomino or Queendomino to play. This expansion adds new dominoes, new giant tokens, new challenge tiles, and additional components to allow a fifth player to join the game.
The new dominoes are shuffled in with those from the base game. If, on your turn, you add a domino with a giant on it to your kingdom, then you must also add a giant token, covering up any one crown of your choosing in your kingdom. If you add a tile with footsteps to your kingdom, then you get to remove a giant token from your kingdom and give it to an opponent, who then covers up a crown in their own kingdom. Covered crowns do not score points at the end of the game.
Traditional end-of-game bonuses are also eliminated. Instead, before the start of each game, two challenge tiles are drawn. These provide additional ways to earn points. For example, get 5 bonus points for each lake tile that surrounds your castle or get 20 bonus points if your castle is located in one of the four corners of your kingdom.
