Games

Galaxy Trucker: Do What?!

Publisher
CGE (Czech Games Edition)
Age Range
8+
Player Range
2–4

Are you a fearless trailblazer or perhaps a complete daredevil? If so, Corp Incorporated invites you to... Do What?! More trucking!

You’ll get the chance to undertake Missions that might—quite literally—blow your mind. Escort aliens with special powers, build crazy ships beyond human imagination, place bets, and laugh in the face of danger. Win the annual Transgalactic Trek—the most prestigious trucking achievement in the known universe—and join Club Gold! Or at least cross the finish line on a toilet seat, but alive.

If hauling boombastic or suspiciously glowing cargo isn’t wild enough, take it up a notch with some Supercards! After all, what’s a galactic mission without a good old Meteor Shower, eh?

We all know how important connections are in life. On your adventures, you’ll meet many high-profile VIPs and even have the opportunity to earn some serious cash by becoming their space taxi driver! Some of the prominent passengers just want to have fun, even if it means smuggling goods in pipes, boosting weapons, or flying away with a part of your ship!

P.S. Having quality life insurance is highly recommended—just in case. Galaxy Trucker: Do What?! is the second expansion for the new edition of Galaxy Trucker, offering even more opportunities to gain riches and new ways to destroy your run-down ship. This expansion features two big modules for seasoned truckers: Missions and VIP Astronauts, and a Turn-Based Mode for a more laid-back experience.

Requires the Galaxy Trucker base game (new ed.), compatible with Galaxy Trucker: Keep on Trucking.

Little Alchemists

Publisher
CGE (Czech Games Edition)
Age Range
7+
Player Range
2-4

Who knew that dusty old pile of weird beakers, boilers, and bottles full of strange-smelling ingredients you found in the basement would soon become your ticket to alchemy school? After a bit of tinkering, and perhaps a few mishaps, you and your pals seem to have a knack for it!

Fun is brewing for all ages in Little Alchemists, a game of potion craft and deduction for two-to-four players. Based on the original Alchemists game released in 2014, Little Alchemists is a streamlined standalone version that’s geared toward younger players and their families.

Lost Ruins of Arnak: Adventure Chest

Publisher
CGE (Czech Games Edition)
Age Range
14+
Player Range
1–4

The adventure is calling to you once again—and this time, you don’t have to worry about packing light!

Meet the Adventure Chest—a brand-new expansion to Lost Ruins of Arnak that features an original storage solution designed by CGE and fits all previously released Lost Ruins of Arnak content. The Adventure Chest box is bigger and sturdier than that of the base game—and it still fits into a certain board-gamer-favorite Swedish-made shelf! The insert itself is made of 8 individual boxes from layered PET material and is designed to make setup, play, and cleanup as easy as possible.

Inside the “Adventure Chest”, we’ve included a fresh addition to the world of Arnak, the new expansion “Twisted Paths”. This expansion brings a new double-sided map bigger than the one in the base game and includes two new research tracks, each with unique mechanisms and components (like brand new temple tiles or new resources—dark tablets).

In addition to new maps, the expansion contains new guardians, sites, and assistants, and also some solo content—Rival tiles for the new maps, as well as Purple Rival tiles and Rival Objectives, two mini expansions we’ve previously released online as print-and-play.

The “Adventure Chest” does NOT include any other Lost Ruins of Arnak content. The base game or any of the two previous expansions, Expedition Leaders or The Missing Expedition, must be purchased separately.

SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Publisher
CGE (Czech Games Edition)
Age Range
14+
Player Range
1-4

Lead a scientific institution tasked with searching for traces of life beyond planet Earth in SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a eurogame for 1–4 players inspired by existing or emerging technologies and efforts in space exploration.

By launching probes to investigate nearby planets and moons, directing telescopes to distant star systems, and developing your equipment back on Earth, you will investigate the Solar System and beyond, searching for signs of life outside our planet. To aid in your exploration, you may also utilize 200+ cards that feature real technologies, projects, and discoveries, each of them with unique illustrations and effects.

SETI pays homage to space and planetary exploration, astronomy, the ongoing search for signs of life in the vastness of space, and efforts to understand the nature of life in the universe.

SETI: Space Agencies

Publisher
CGE (Czech Games Edition)
Age Range
14+
Player Range
1–4

Re-think your approach to the search for alien life with new asymmetric organizations!

As the leader of one of these institutions—each with unique abilities and starting conditions—you’ll uncover new strategies that reshape the game experience.

Encounter three new alien species, each with their own unique twists, and add over 40 new project cards that seamlessly integrate into the main deck. Quick Start cards, designed for use with the organizations, let you skip the slower opening round and dive straight into the action. Plus, the new Signal Tokens offer fresh options to enhance your scanning strategy.

Whether you’re adapting to your organization’s strengths or navigating new interstellar challenges, SETI: Space Agencies deepens the strategic landscape of your mission to discover life beyond Earth.

Wispwood

CGE (Czech Games Edition)
Age Range

Player Range

Is that a light at the end of the... branch?

A curious cat prowls into the forest, lured by flickering lights of all colors dancing through the trees. What are they? Oh, the wisps from the old tales! Each one sparkles with charm and mischief, carrying a unique personality. Can you guide them just right and make your forest the brightest?

Welcome to Wispwood, a magical place populated by glowing wisps. On your turn, choose a wisp tile and a shape to place in your personal grid—your very own growing forest. Each wisp has desires about where it wants to shine, and even the magical trees have preferences! You’ll aim to meet their expectations across three scoring rounds. Between rounds, the forest shifts—fading and expanding—yet the wisps you’ve already placed remain, shaping the possibilities ahead.

With each game, new goal cards redefine the wisps’ whims, ensuring your forest grows in a unique way every time. Enter the forest and explore the magic of Wispwood!
