Electing to make a new home among the clouds, humankind has assembled a variety of airships to provide utilities, thereby creating airship city. However, this newly created city lacks both a means of transportation and vital public facilities. As airship engineers, you will gather materials and work hard to build airships to further the development of airship city.

You may choose to donate your completed airships to contribute to the city’s development, or sell them to secure the funds needed to make an even larger contribution. In order to build airships efficiently, you’ll need to donate airships to cultivate a positive relationship with the city, renovate your workshop, hire workers, and occasionally piggyback off other engineers to acquire resources.

You can contribute to the city’s development not only by donating airships, but also by building public facilities and participating in trade. Will your contributions to the development of airship city earn you fame as an airship enginer?

This is a game in which the goal is to get rid of your cards, Great Dalmuti-style. Each player chooses one of the four unique decks, and must, depending on deck, vary your tactics. With the special rules in this game, weaker cards can surround the higher ones and won. And above all, the strange fairy cards will help you turn the tables!

A game that can both be played as a simple game, or as a tactical gamer’s game!

This game has cards 1-6 is five colours; each player has 5 cards in hand. Players will play one card from hand simultaneously, and then reveal them. This is repeated three times, and the cards of the majority colour will score, unless they are too many, in which case the colour bursts and the second most colour will score. In case of a tie for majority, the tied colours are also out. This is repeated until the deck runs out, and the player with the most points wins.

It's a simple game featuring a lot of outsmarting the opponent and counting the cards - yet simple enough for the whole family; a great beginner's game.

Mich hätte "Eye my Favorite Thing" interessiert. Aber ein Freund von mir hat recht: Wenn das Spiel gut ist, wird es auch von anderen Firmen in Deutschland veröffentlicht und ist darüber erhältlich. Bisher habe ich von all meinen Japon-Brand-Käufen nur ein Einziges behalten ... Aber vielleicht werd ich ja doch schwach...

A card game with a stock market theme, and three ways to play the game. In "Market make", players will raise and lower the points of cards, and try to aim for rising stocks. In "God of Market", only the player who goes out first get to roll the dice to determine the points for the cards. And in "Battle Royale", the winner is decided by speed, as the cards get less and less worth the more the game is played. Who will be the last to laugh!?

There are many hidden pop idols in this world, and you are the producer who must dig out the idol of tomorrow! Only you can find them, form groups and show them to the world! This is a game in which the players take cards from a randomized "sea" of spread-out cards .The player who has got the most valuable cards at the end, wins.

The players are all freight companies, who should carry their goods to fulfill orders, and gain points. On each of their turns, players can either ship, refine or fulfill a order. Refining can only be done in the starting space; the goods are then carried to other spaces on the board to fulfill the orders. Fulfilling an order in a space increases the player's market share there, and market majority is points at the end of the game.

Players need to plan in advance, choose order to fulfill, and which of their abilities they want to upgrade, in order to be the most efficient freight company.

A worker placement pick up and delivery game in an Asian atmosphere!

A new system with a 3-divide draft! A simple yet very tactical set collecting game!

This is a 3-round game where the players fight for points. Each round, 7 fruit cards are dealt to each player; one is discarded, and the remaining 6 cards are devided into three face down groups. The players will then in turn reveal these cards and draft them.

There are 8 fruit types; some cards give high points, some give 0 points if too many, so which cards you should aim for will change during the game. And you'll need to think on how to divide your cards!

A card game with the simple rule that you either pic a row or a column of the cards on the table. Once the cards run out, you should have a good balance of kids and candy. But some cards have special powers, that create havoc effects depending on how many cards you take from the board – forming a very interactive and aggressive game!

In Helltoken, all players control the same robot, and try to either crush the opponent’s base, or deduct where your own hidden base is. The game is well playable for all, even those who have a hard time deducting! And the art is done by Takashi Kurihara, of “Katamari Damacy” fame!.

Kuan is an abstract 2-player open information tactical game. On a 5x5 board, tiles ot 2 colours are placed. If one tile is "pinced" in between two tiles of the other colour, it's captured, and the opposing player must now place another tile in the empty spot. You win by forming a row of same-coloured tiles, or let your opponent run out of tiles!

In this game the players are deities of nature who should cooperatively feed and foster a male mayfly, from larva to adult, as the mayfly cannot live on its own. The deities must watch over the mayfly as it meets its partner and leave its offspring. But fighting starvation and rivals is not an easy task.

The game consists of the Larval stage and the Adult Stages, both with different ordeals. There are 4 different endings. It's up to you to find the ending that fits you best!

Monster Empire is a game about being the first to collect 6 types of jewels, to become the King of Gandor. The players are all adventurers, who will fight against monsters to collect their treasures. In order to get as much treasure as possible, it's better to be few, but to be few, the player who knows the right location will need to fool the others into going the wrong way. Only the adventurers who can see through these lies will be the one to first gather the jems!

This is a game about kid hierarchy, taking 30 minutes including teaching the rules! The players are all kids, wanting to be the boss kid in the neighbourhood. They all bring their toys, and start bragging and stealing them from each other. You must share your stolen toys with your pals, but there's the rub: each toy is valued differently for all your pals. And if they're not content, they'll just say no! How much can you handle this unfairness? How will you share your toys?

It's up to you to find the shortest route in this crowded place!

A story of boys and girls and how they fight for their lives against an insane god

This game is about protecting your town from the hands of the Old Liberion. You must cooperate with your fellow resistance (Luciola cruciata) and overcome the ordeals. Depending on character and scenario, each play will be different – the only thing binding them together is your own experience.
