Munchkin has parodied the classic dungeon, the kung-fu warrior, the space epic, and the creatures of the night. Now, it's the superheroes turn!
Be a Mutant, an Exotic, a Mystic, or a Techno. The higher your level, the more powers you can have. Battle dastardly masterminds, devastating monsters, and invading aliens from the next dimension - from the wimpy Triplicate Twit all the way up to Big Ol' Planet Eater Guy himself - and take their stuff! With the Aura Helmet, the Telezapinator, and the (jet-powered) Pogo Stick, no foe can stand before you.
Based on the award-winning Empire Builder System, Russia Rails lets players experience the unique challenges of rail-building in the former Soviet Union and the republics which have replaced it.
Using erasable crayons, players design their own rail-networks across a geographically accurate map. Since YOU decide where to build your rails, every game will be a different experience.
December 7, 1941: Pearl Harbor.
Japan is about to launch one of the most infamous pre-emptive strikes in military history. A&A Pacific invites you and your opponents to determine the future of the Pacific! How will the Americans counterattack after Japan's initial onslaught. Will Japan succeed in gaining the rich resources of the East Indies? Can these be held long enough for the Allies to grow weary of the war? How will British forces fare in the embattled jungles of Burma?
A brand new version of our best-selling war game. Naval strategy, as well as prudent economic moves, are critical in building and sustaining your naval forces. Warships, transports, ground forces and air power will all be needed if you are to control the Pacific. 345 authentic plastic playing pieces.
This version of A&A came out in 2000 and has been very popular. Set in spring, 1941. This game is also self-contained and uses the familiar Axis and Allies theme. Focus of action is the European Theater. In other words, Japan is not in this game. Playing pieces are different for each of the four powers, British, Russian, German and US. Includes: Gameboard Map, 369 Plastic Playing Pieces, Industrial Production Certificates, 4 National Reference Charts, National Control Markers, National Production Charts, Battle Board Chart, 12 Dice, Plastic Chips (red & gray), & Game Play Manual.
"I can make $42 million by taking tourists from Munich to Seville. Plus, by stopping by Brussels for chocolate on the way, I can pick up another $12 million when I get there! Now, I'll just extend my tracks to Seville... Wait. Oh no! I'm short a million..."
Railbuilding in the EC. This is the first in Mayfair's World Rails series, and a very absorbing game. There is little interaction among players, but lots of logistics and planning with the eternal hope of making that really big deal.
Players take turns drawing sections of track with eraseable crayons on a glossy map (one of six sections shown in the thumbnail at left), Players connect major European cities with their rail lines. The cost of trackbuilding depends on the the type of terrain you cross--mountains, plains, rivers, etc. Once you have enough track built you may move your train from city to city, moving cargo and selling it to make more money for trackbuilding. Rules (along with a fair amount of geography) are quickly learned. A full evening's entertainment. (quck playing variants are provided) Nice international components.
This is an excellent and absorbing two-player strategy game. It is a great favorite among Game Preserve staffers and gamers. (Perhaps this is because wives will play it). People say that the more rounds they play, the more they appreciate the subtleties and balance of the game.
Hera and Zeus each hold equivalent (but not identical) decks of cards which they shuffle. Cards with numbers on them show their strength in battle. Cards with mythological symbols on them have special powers (such as: move a card, recycle a card, for your opponent to reveal all of their cards, and so forth). During a turn you can decide whether to draw or take other actions. Players make many hard choices--is Pythia of more value to you as a spy, or for her ability to overcome Nemesis? Should you play Dionysus early when it's not an optimal use of the card, or hold it in reserve for a better time and risk it being stolen out of your hand?
There are five different ways to win, which means there are many tactical options.
Prospector, captain, mayor, trader, settler, craftsman, or builder? Which roles will you play in the new world? Will you own the most prosperous plantations? Will you build the most valuable buildings? You have but one goal: achieve the greatest prosperity and highest respect! This is shown by the player who earns the most victory points. He will win the game!

The expansion offers new challenges to the many fans of Carcassonne. Add a cathedral and triple the value of a city. The Inn doubles the value of a road, but only when completed. There is a new large follower for each player to use, doubling her chances of controlling a city, road, or field.
Also included is all necessary material to allow a sixth player to join in the fun. Finally, there are 6 point tiles to make scoring easier once players have accumulated more than 50 points.
This is a new game (not an expansion) in the Carcassonne line. It has new graphics, a new set of components, a theme set in the stone age, and new rules to match the theme.
Players have figures that can represent hunters, gatherers, or fishermen and place them in meadows, forests, or on rivers. They also have huts, which can be placed on rivers or lakes and are scored at the end of the game as are the hunters. Gatherers and fishermen are scored when forests or rivers are completed. There are special forest tiles that give the player who plays a tile completing a forest an extra tile lay of special tiles with special features.
Fun for kids and adults alike. Components and mechanics are appealing. Rules are simple, and everyone gets to make plenty of choices. Until the very end, anyone may be the winner.
