Today we are going to talk about Sheepland! Sheepland is located on the beautiful island of the same name, where for centuries people have cared for sheep.
While inexplicably working in the same field, two to four shepherds try to move the sheep into the correct areas to score points.
During a turn, you must perform three actions, chosen from these possibilities:
- Move your Shepherd
- Move a sheep
- Buy a land tile
You must move your shepherd at least once during your turn, and you cannot perform the same action twice in a row without moving the shepherd between the two actions.
Six different types of terrain are available, with five tiles of each type and increasing costs (from 0 to 4 dinars).
When you buy a tile, you are not claiming land on the game board, but rather investing in that type of landscape because that is where you expect the sheep to eventually graze.
At the end of the game, you score 1 point per tile of a land type for each sheep in a region of that type; you also score for the coins still in hand.

Will the chief of the tribe manage to save his village with the help of his four dogs?
Otherwise the bison will cross the river... and win this game of chess!
Aim of the game:
The two players have a different aim:
The player controlling the bison seeks to bring one of his animals to the other side of the board.
The goal of the other player is to succeed in preventing them from passing by catching them with his Indian chief or by stopping them with his dogs.
Rules of the game:
Place the 11 bison on one side of the board, in a straight line behind one of the rivers and, just in front of the other river, place the Indian chief with his dogs on either side.
The bison advance like pawns in chess, the dogs like checkers but cannot take bison, and the Indian chief like a king, he can take bison.
The bison begin...
At the end of the round, the roles are reversed.
The first to win a round on both sides wins the game.

To do this, you must align the cards horizontally, vertically or diagonally so that they have a value of 10.
It may sound easy, but it's not that easy.
Everyone participates in the discovery of all these new islands, suddenly, if you have accidentally left an interesting small island on the table, the other players can take advantage of it!
Each in turn, you have 2 mandatory actions to perform in the order of your choice.
Move your ship to an adjacent card or place a card horizontally or vertically adjacent to the ship you moved.
Well, precisely, how do you recover your famous cards?
To retrieve them, 3 conditions are required: that their value is exactly 10, that they are located on the same horizontal, vertical or diagonal line and that there is no boat on them.
You don't need your maps to be side by side, this sometimes creates holes in island mapping.
You can therefore only collect cards once per turn.
There is a bustle in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar as merchants and their assistants rush through the narrow alleys in their bid to outsell their competitors.
Everything must be well organized: wheelbarrows must be filled with goods in the warehouses, then quickly transported by the assistants to various destinations.
Your goal?
Be the first merchant to collect a certain number of rubies.
In Istanbul, you lead a party of a merchant and four assistants through 16 bazaar locations.
At each of these locations, you can perform a specific action.
The challenge, however, is that in order to take action, you have to move your merchant and an assistant there, and then leave the assistant behind (to handle all the details while you focus on more important matters).
If you want to use this helper again later, your trader must return to this location to pick it up.
Thus, you must plan carefully in advance to avoid finding yourself without assistants and therefore unable to do anything...
In more detail, on a turn, you move your merchant and his retinue of assistants one or two steps through the bazaar, either leave an assistant there, or pick up an assistant left earlier, then perform the action .
If you meet other traders or certain people there, you may be able to take a little extra action.
Possible actions include:
-Pay to increase the capacity of your wheelbarrow, which starts the game with a capacity of only two for each good.
-Fill your wheelbarrow with a specified good to its limit.
-Acquire a special ability, and the earlier you come, the easier they are to collect.
-Buy rubies or exchange goods for rubies.
-Sell special combinations of goods to earn the money you need to do everything else.
When a merchant has collected five rubies in their wheelbarrow, players end that turn, then the game ends.
If this player is the only one to have achieved this objective, he wins immediately; otherwise, the ties are severed by the money in hand.

Today we are going to talk about Carta Impera Victoria!
CIV: Carta Impera Victoria is a game of CIVilization and diplomacy in which you develop your own civilization.
Be the first to achieve supremacy in a field to go down in history, but keep an eye on your opponents' progress.
Forming a temporary alliance can be the best way to prevent a player from winning… and remember that sometimes offense is the best defense!
In more detail, a player wins when he achieves supremacy in a field; if this does not happen, when no more cards can be drawn, the game ends and the players go through majority scoring to determine the winner.
The CIV includes six areas of competition: Military, Religion, Economy, Science, Culture, and Utopia.
The game's 104 cards are divided into three ages, which represent the natural evolution of world civilization through the timeline, but the cards for each realm are not evenly distributed.
Once the second age is over, for example, if you haven't yet reached the supremacy of Religion, it's time to think about another strategy.
Each field gives powers to the player who manages to reach the limit of cards in his playing area (depending on the number of players).
There are different types of powers, two levels of permanent effects, and a sacrifice effect for each field.
Using these powers in combination will be necessary to be the first to achieve supremacy - but using these powers is also a way to prevent competitors from achieving victory.
You will need all your diplomacy skills to enlist the help of others and prevent the leader from winning, but today's friend could be tomorrow's enemy, so be careful everyone and think about what combination of powers could lead to a surprise victory!
Today we are going to talk about Sultan of Karaya!
Sultans of Karaya will sound familiar to Werewolf/Mafia fans as the players each have a secret role and (most of them) belong to one of two teams, with each team having a specific way of winning the game .
The two teams are:
• Sultan and Guards (Loyalists) – to win, they must eliminate all Assassins and have no more than two Slaves still in play, or the Sultan must survive for one turn after being revealed.
• Assassins and Slaves (Rebels) – to win they must kill the Sultan or have three Slaves sitting next to them with their identities revealed, in which case a Slave Revolution brings down the Sultan.
The number of Role cards in play is equal to one more than the number of players, with exactly one Sultan, as many Guards as Assassins (including at least one in play), and at least three Slaves in the mix.
Zero to four neutral characters will also be in play, each unique and each with the ability to win with one team or the other. The Slave Driver, for example, wins with the Rebels if face down at the end of the round and wins with the Loyalists if face up, while the
Fortune Teller must correctly predict the team winning. At the start of the game, each player is secretly given a role card, with one card placed face down in the middle of the table.
During a turn, a player can peek at another player's role card, swap/hide (if your role is face down, swap cards with another player or reserve; if face-up, make other players hide their eyes, then secretly trade with any other face-down role card), or use a character action: guards can detain other players, forcing them to lose their turn; The slaves try to provoke a revolution; Assassins can eliminate any player at the risk of a guard stepping in and killing them instead.
Neutral characters have more complex actions. The Belly Dancer, for example, overpowers adjacent guards, preventing them from detaining others or warding off an assassination, but only if revealed. (If revealed and using her powers, she works for a Rebel victory; otherwise she can stay hidden and score if the Loyalists win.)
The Vizier can force another player to reveal himself and use his special action. Players on the winning team score one or two points depending on whether they were face up – ie working publicly for the cause – or face down.
At the end of a round, redistribute all Role cards. The player with the most points after five rounds wins the game.
