FOREST SHUFFLE
FOREST SHUFFLE: DARTMOOR
November 6
In Forest Shuffle, players compete to gather the most valuable trees, then attract species to these trees, thus creating an ecologically balanced habitat for flora and fauna.
Plant trees in your forest and populate them with cards depicting two forest dwellers (animal, plant, mushroom, etc.), with these cards being divided in half, whether vertically or horizontally, with one dweller in each card half.
PATCHWORK
November 11
Compete head-to-head in the ever-popular competitive quilt sewing game.
To win (and have the best quilt), players must balance collecting scraps to fill the quilt with the time it takes to sew that fabric in!
GREAT WESTERN TRAIL
November 18
America in the 19th century: You are a rancher and repeatedly herd your cattle from Texas to Kansas City, where you send them off by train. This earns you money and victory points. Needless to say, each time you arrive in Kansas City, you want to have your most valuable cattle in tow. However, the "Great Western Trail" not only requires that you keep your herd in good shape, but also that you wisely use the various buildings along the trail. Also, it might be a good idea to hire capable staff: cowboys to improve your herd, craftsmen to build your very own buildings, or engineers for the important railroad line.
EMPIRE BUILDER
November 25
Come join this Two Group Crossover Event and introduce yourself to a whole genre of board games!
Board Games w/ Vic x Crayon Rails
Epic Railroad Building in North America
Discover a modern North American classic. Celebrate one of our most vital and enduring passions: railroads. Use your initial investment to build track. Then pick up commodities where they are grown, mined, or manufactured and deliver them to a lucrative place of demand. Complete a delivery and make the money you need to buy larger, faster trains, and expand your railroad empire. Win the game by building the most effective railroad empire!
The original and flagship of Mayfair's crayon-rails line allows players, using washable crayons, to draw their train routes over a map of North America. Players start with an initial sum of money which they use to build short lengths of track during their first couple of turns. For the rest of the game, players operate their trains over the track network drawn on the board to pick up and deliver loads to various cities, and then have the opportunity to add to their track network or improve their train. The game uses demand cards which list three demands, each of a commodity to be delivered to a specified city for a given payoff. Each player has three demand cards to provide opportunities for income.
