Rio Grande Games Free Ride

Around the end of the 19th Century, a growing network of railroad lines was built in Europe. This allowed people to travel to the major cities to visit beautiful structures influenced by Art Nouveau and Historicism. In Free Ride, designed by Friedemann Friese, the designer of the award-winning Power Grid, you take charge of building railroad lines to connect the cities of Europe. You will have many challenging decisions to make on your turn: which routes to take and develop, when to move your train, and when to spend your limited money to use your opponents' tracks. The player that visits the most different cities of Europe will win. Free Ride also includes a difficult solo challenge! 1-5 playersAges 14+55 minute play timeContents:135 City cards Game board125 Ownership tokens140 Rail tokens16 Player mats53 Coins 5 Train tokens5 Construction tokens 1 First player tile 1 Game board1 Rulebook

Rio Grande Games Art Decko

For some, collecting fine art is a hobby. For a select few, it's a cutthroat world of buying, selling, and manipulating the market. Can you stay one step ahead of the other collectors and build the most valuable collection?Art Decko is an artistic new take on deck building. The paintings are beautiful (and expensive) but can become more valuable as the game continues. Showing a painting in a museum increases the value of all works in that genre. All of the players who hold that type of painting benefit, but who benefits most? Players face difficult decisions on every turn. Is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder when there is profit to be made with every potential move? Play Art Decko and see for yourself.2-4 playersAges 14+60 minute play time

Rio Grande Games Dominion: Menagerie

Dominion, that's what you're trying to achieve. This time with animals! They each have a lesson to teach, whether it's how to spit really far, or what kind of grass tastes the best. It's a lot to keep track of, but you're like an elephant: you remember everything. And you're afraid of mice. You've taken up riding. Horses are intimidating; they say you can lead a horse to water, but you haven't managed it. So you're working your way up, starting with dogs. So far so good; the dog hasn't bucked you off yet. Your menagerie got off to a poor start, with just a goat, two rats, and the advisor who suggested starting a menagerie. You couldn't get that fox you wanted, but it was probably bad anyway. Now you've got some camels, which are just as useless for sewing as you'd been warned, and a turtle that can hold its breath for longer than anyone can stay interested. Soon the animal kingdom will be yours.This is the 13th expansion to Dominion. It has 400 cards, with 30 new Kingdom cards. There are Horses that save a draw for later, Exile mats that cards can be sent to and rescued from, and Ways that give Actions another option.

Rio Grande Games Dominion: Nocturne

You've always been a night person; lately you've even considered becoming a vampire. There are a lot of advantages: you don't age; you don't have to see yourself in mirrors anymore; if someone asks you to do something, you can just turn into a bat, and then say, sorry, I'm a bat. There are probably some downsides though. You always think of the statue in the town square, that came to life, and now works as the tavern barmaid. The pedestal came to life too, so she has to hop around. The village blacksmith turns into a wolf whenever there's a full moon; when there's a crescent moon, he turns into a chihuahua. That's how this stuff goes sometimes. Still, when you breathe in the night air, you feel ready for anything.This is the 11th expansion to Dominion. It has 500 cards, with 33 new Kingdom cards. There are Night cards, which are played after the Buy phase; Heirlooms that replace starting Coppers; Fate and Doom cards that give out Boons and Hexes; and a variety of extra cards that other cards can provide.

Die color and value affect how each of the seven unique locations are used. Players will build colonization pods at each of three colonies to gain the confidence of the settlers and lead them to glory!2-4 playersAges 14+30-60 minute play timeContents:Game boardRound marker5 Player markers16 Player markers16 Artifact markers16 Dice9 Cycle tiles30 Fuel markers60 Crew markers16 Artifact markers4 Player spaceshipsStart player marker8 Cultural achievements8 Cultural achievement tiles40 Colonization pod tiles

Rio Grande Games Dominion: Empires

The world is big and your kingdom gigantic. It's no longer a kingdom really; it's an empire. Which makes you the emperor. This entitles you to a better chair, plus you can name a salad after yourself. It's not easy being emperor.

Sometimes your armies take over a continent and you just have no idea where to put it. And there's the risk of assassination; you have a food taster, who tastes anything before you eat it, and a dagger tester, who gets stabbed by anything before it stabs you. You've taken to staying at home whenever it's the Ides of anything.
