Long ago, in Troy...

The Trojans abducted Helen, and the Achaean princes took advantage of the opportunity to lay siege to this proud city.

Incan Gold is a game in which players push their luck as they head down a dark mine, attempting to find the most jewels. Each turn, a card is turned over that increases the gold found in a mine or shows a hazard. Players can attempt to escape, keeping the loot that they've acquired, or stay in the mine, hoping for increased profits. As players escape, those in the mine will acquire bigger shares of each pile of gold found, but also run the risk of dying if the same hazard card is drawn twice. Up to eight people can play this game, and it works very well at parties and other gatherings, as players decide whether or not to stay or leave the mines. With quality components and a compelling theme, Incan Gold will be the first choice of large groups looking for a fun filled game.

Though it's certainly a card game, and one designed by a master of the genre, Dan Verssen, the whip snake action of Lightning: Midway is unlike any other card game you've ever played. Two players step into the roles of opposing fleet commanders in this history based recreation of the famous World War II battle between US and Japanese forces. At stake is control of Midway Atoll in the Central Pacific. The US player must risk his navy's three carriers to try to keep it; the Japanese player must risk his four carriers to try to take it.

The atoll and the aircraft carriers are each represented by their own card. Players throw reconnaissance cards to find and fix the enemy's location, then play other cards representing attacking squadrons. Some find their targets, others don't. Sometimes the enemy shows up over your fleet without warning. Everything often hinges - literally and figuratively - on the timely throw of one card.

The game contains 110 beautifully illustrated cards and one double-sided page of rules. You'll learn to play quickly, and can finish a game easily in 30 minutes. Be warned, though, one run-through will never be enough.

This two-player card game recreates the drama of the day Allied soldiers went ashore in occupied France, 6 June 1944. Each of the historic landing beaches - Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha and Utah - is represented by its own card, as are the defending German divisions and attacking Allied units. The Allied player must marshal his resources to gain and secure control of every beach by day's end: one run-through of the beautifully illustrated 110-card deck.

The tension in the game increases with each card thrown, like the build up in a close baseball game. At first it seems the Allies have resources to meet every crisis across the beachheads, but if a key airborne division gets scattered across the countryside, allowing a counterattacking panzer division to slip through the perimeter, everything can change instantly. And an Allied unit committed to one beach, where you might find the defense isn't as strong as you thought, can't be called back in time to rush to the true danger zone. Both players must constantly be thinking ahead, looking for ways to best utilize their cards several throws down the line.

Covering the great battles of Erwin Rommel from 1941 to 1943, as he fought his way back and forth across the deserts of North Africa. LNA uses cards to represent the military units, supply convoys and objectives of the historic campaign. To win, you must consider your units' combat power and maneuver options as well as their supply situation. The game features: the Afrika Korps, Tobruk, the Desert Rats, Malta, anti-tank guns, resupply from Europe, minefields and more. LNA is based around a new combat system that makes maneuver and planning as important as brute force. That approach is faithful to the historic events, in which smaller forces were often able to defeat and rout larger ones by using better tactics and planning. In LNA, battles can be won not only by overwhelming the enemy with firepower, but also by out-thinking and bluffing him. The dynamic game system puts you in charge of one of the most famous theaters of WWII.

Includes one rules sheet and 110 cards.

Medieval is a card-based board game that takesplayers back to the turbulent 13th century in Europe, Middle East and North Africa. The cards not only represent the Powers, various capabilities, and events that the players use to gain victory, but they also provide the playing board, a map that is divided into 19 Cards, only 8 of which start the game in play.

Even such mysterious and far away areas as Polovtsy and The Cumans come into play. - and the various "events" the players use to forward their schemes.

The winner is the player who survives the onslaughts of religion and the Mongols to control the largest part of 13th century Europe.

World Domination Shall Be Mine!

"Surely, Doctor, you don't expect the most powerful nation in the world to turn over control of its nuclear reactors to you? That's madness!" The bureaucrat stood with his back to an assembly of statesmen, his eyes imploring across the satellite feed on which his image was projected. A short, bald, gnarled figure watched the politician on a large television monitor. The room in which he stood was dark, save for a single spotlight. Beyond the thick steel walls of the little man's chamber, stars and planets whirled about the lunar outpost from which his image was broadcast back to Earth. The outcast innovator stroked his chin and smiled a yellow grin. "I don't care what you think, Mr. President. If those reactor codes aren't in my possession by this time tomorrow, I will unleash a meteorite that will plummet into the United States! Then all will rue the day you defied... Doctor Dookie!" Pfffft. "Sorry."

Other elements of Card Football include team and player chips, the Card Football game board, a score board, a referee/yard marker and dice that are used for fumble, field goal and injury situations.
