The Last Spell – The Board Game is a tactical cooperative game for 1 to 4 players, set in a grim post-apocalyptic fantasy world and faithfully adapted from the acclaimed video game by Ishtar Games. Players take on the roles of hardened heroes, sworn to defend the last remaining mages as they attempt to cast the final, world-altering spell that could rid the land of magic once and for all. Over the course of a branching campaign or stand-alone missions, players must protect three desperate cities from the relentless assault of monstrous hordes.

Each scenario unfolds across day/night cycles: during the day, players gather resources, strengthen the economy, build and upgrade defenses, and equip their heroes with powerful weapons and abilities.

Every city is a unique battleground, and players can save their progress between sessions.

With high quality components and an escalating difficulty curve, The Last Spell – The Board Game delivers a rich, replayable experience that blends thrilling combat with deep strategic planning.

🔥 Dirt & Dust starts to hit the US stores on September 3rd 🔥

Dirt & Dust, a game that throws you into the high-octane world of rally racing, where strategy meets speed, starts to hit the US stores on September 3rd, following the release at Gen Con. Designed by Petr Čáslava and published by ALBI, the English edition of Dirt & Dust is distributed by Ares Games worldwide (excluding Europe).

Watch the launch trailer here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esj9duSwygs&ab_channel=ALBIGamesandPuzzles

Dirt & Dust mixes deck-building and dice placement to decide who conquers the course, for an adrenaline-fueled experience. Players (1 to 4) start with a basic action deck and a unique pilot, then acquire more cards throughout the game to tune their vehicle and improve performance as they manage suspension settings, adjust tire pressure, tweak the differential, and so forth... Actions are activated based on which dice slot they are linked to, and driving style choices - fast or cautious - further impact the effects of each card. Each choice matters as pilots push the limits, balancing precision and risk in pursuit of victory.

Stages take players from scenic coastal roads and tight city circuits to shaded forest trails, mountain curves, and even the thrill of night racing.

Immerse yourself in a game of creativity, deduction, and teamwork with Perfect Mismatch, a fun party game where 2 to 8 players are challenged to guess words from a card, using unusual associations of attributes as hints. Is there anything that is equally square and non-stop? Or extremely herbal, but not verbal at all?

Designed by Alexander Peshkov, Perfect Mismatch can be played in either competitive or cooperative mode, in about 20 to 30 minutes, sharing plenty of laughs while discussing hilarious attribute combinations and the associations they trigger.

Each turn, one player takes the lead and describes a secret word as precisely as possible by swiping beads toward the attributes on the two sides of a board – romantic or problematic, fingerless or fragile, wearable or helpful, extremely entertaining or not washable, and
so on...

The other players must interpret the leader's clues and hurry to vote for their chosen word. The faster they are, the more points they will get.

In cooperative mode, players unite as a team to achieve the highest combined score, working together to interpret hints and strengthen their collective understanding.

Mysthea: Essential Edition, produced by Tabula Games, is a competitive eurogame of area control and hand management set in a stunningly original world shaped by strange forces and powerful crystals. Explore the floating islands of Ilvash as a Champion hired by the Kingdom’s guilds to uncover secrets, battle terrifying monsters, and seize control of these unstable lands.

Mysthea features a deeply strategic and player-driven dynamic map, where terrain shifts and islands move based on your decisions. This ever-changing battlefield, combined with asymmetric Champion powers, a variable scoring system, and modular card-driven mechanics, ensures every game unfolds in new and unpredictable ways.

Fight monsters too powerful for one player alone and forge temporary alliances — or turn on your allies when the time is right.

With 71 beautifully detailed miniatures and premium components, Mysthea blends modern euro mechanics with a bold, thematic design to deliver a truly immersive and endlessly replayable experience.

Ryozen is a strategic worker placement game for 2 to 4 players, set in a vibrant fantasy realm where mystical animal clans compete to earn the favor of the Phoenix Queen.

As the final nights before her awakening unfold, each clan sends forth its most talented Kin — double-sided workers with asymmetric abilities — to perform tasks across six Sectors and the central Palace. These placements trigger powerful Daytime effects and set the stage for Nighttime rewards, where area control and influence determine who reaps the greatest benefits.

At the heart of the board lies the three-dimensional Phoenix Palace, which can be rotated to shift the landscape and change the opportunities available in the surrounding Sectors. This layered rotating board, along with the strategic use of face-up or face-down workers, allows for deep tactical planning and constant player interaction.

Each game plays out over three intense rounds, divided into Daytime, Nighttime, and Dawn phases. Turns are quick and engaging, with immediate and delayed effects that reward foresight, timing, and adaptability.

Thanks to its modular setup and flippable board with a dedicated 2–3 player side, Ryozen offers a tight and immersive experience at any player count.

Volfyirion Guilds is a fast-paced, highly tactical deck-building card game for 1 or 2 players. Set in the rich and beautifully illustrated Mysthea Universe, Volfyirion Guilds unfolds just after the events of Volfyirion, sixty years before Mysthea, in a time of fierce rivalry among the five Great Guilds. Volfyirion Guilds can be played as a standalone title or combined with the original Volfyirion card game for expanded gameplay and new strategic depth.

In each match, players take control of a Guild and must destroy all of their opponent’s cities to win. A shared deck of available cards allows for strategic drafting, while powerful combinations, precise timing, and resource management shape the battle. Each match begins symmetrically, but quickly evolves as players tailor their decks, build structures, deploy agents, and attempt to control the mighty dragon Volfyirion.

The mechanics—such as Agents, offering unique abilities, and Vaults, granting persistent effects — bring sophisticated tactical layers, making each decision impactful. Finely tuned card effects, smarter turn management, and reduced randomness ensure great balance and depth without
slowing the game's pace.

With intuitive setup, fast turns, and multiple paths to victory, Volfyirion Guilds is easy to learn but difficult to master.

TEDOKU is a clever and addictive “roll, flip, and write” game, that combines the logical satisfaction of Sudoku with the spatial challenges of polyomino puzzles. Designed for any number of players, TEDOKU can be played solo or as a group, as long as each player has a pencil and their own sheet.

Each player has a 9x9 grid inspired by Sudoku, and over 20 rounds, they’ll fill it using dice rolls and card draws. At the start of each round, one card is flipped and the TEDOKU die is rolled. The card designates a grid zone — a row, column, or 3x3 sector — while the die shows which polyomino shape must be drawn.

All players use the same inputs, placing the shape so that part of it touches the indicated area. Shapes may be rotated or mirrored, but not overlap or go beyond the grid. If a player can't place it legally, they skip the round. After 20 turns, players score points for completed rows, columns, and sectors. The highest score wins, with ties broken by the fewest empty squares.

With simultaneous turns, easy setup, and solo or group play, TEDOKU is a fast and rewarding game of logic, geometry, and careful planning that’s different every time you play.
