The ancient families of snake charmers, water sellers, rug merchants, magicians, and food sellers work hard vying for the best stalls.In Morocco, players will send their workers out to try and claim stalls at the market. When enough workers from the same family have made it to a stall, that family claims it and clears out any adjacent juice sellers.Morocco is played over two separate phases: scout the market and assign workers. In the first phase, players use the nearby roof to scout the market and determine where the busiest stalls will be.

Choose the best aspect for your hero, pull off awesome combos, and wait for the perfect moment to unleash your ultimate ability. Team up with your allies and take on dangerous threats as you become the greatest heroes in the world!In more detail, "D.A.G.G.E.R." stands for "Defense Alliance for Global and Galactic Emergency Response", and the "Alliance" and "Emergency Response" elements drive how the game is played, with heroes needing to strengthen themselves via combos in time to take on the nemesis.There are two types of combo tokens: empowered tokens and primed tokens. When a hero becomes "empowered", they can later discard their empowered token to add one success to any attribute test they perform. When an enemy is "primed", a hero attacking that enemy can remove a primed token from them to add one success to the attack result, which means more damage dealt.What's more, each hero has at least one "combo ability" that requires either an empowered token on themselves or a primed token on an enemy to trigger. Triggering these combo abilities comes with an extra benefit: advancing the team-up track, a resource shared by all heroes that's used to pay for "team-up abilities", the strongest abilities in each hero's arsenal.—description from the publisher

Magnate: The First City
Build a city, make a fortune.“In Magnate: The First City, you’re a property developer out to build an empire in the midst of a citywide property boom.By snapping-up valuable land and constructing the right buildings in the right locations, you’ll attract high value tenants and start raking in the big bucks. But beware: as the city grows, everything you build will also open up new opportunities for your competitors. Will you make a fortune? Or will you be caught out when the boom inevitably turns to bust in a game-ending market crash?”---Magnate: The First City is a midweight strategy game for 1-5 players. Each turn players try to grow their property empire by performing different actions, including: buying plots of land, constructing buildings, marketing their developments and selling them completely for their capital value. Once per round, they will also get the chance to attract tenants to any empty buildings they have. If they are successful, they will start collecting rent from their tenants and increase the value of their holdings. At the same time, they will also create new development opportunities for themselves and their opponents.But in Magnate, as in real life, not all locations are equally appealing to all types of tenant. Magnate’s four types of tenant - residential, offices, retail and industry - all want to be linked to other types of tenant in nearby neighbourhoods. And they are all affected differently by what’s next door: The airport is an asset for offices, but it’s an unattractive place for new residents. By clever tactical and strategic building, players can increase their odds of attracting these tenants and improve their return on investment - without benefiting their opponents too much.But while the players acquire more and larger properties, the price of land keeps rising higher and higher. Eventually, it becomes completely unsustainable and a game-ending crash that will destroy the value of players’ properties becomes inevitable. When exactly the crash happens, however, is shaped by the players: How much land they buy and how much property they sell will more make a crash on any specific turn more or less likely. Players must time their actions carefully to avoid substantial losses while maximizing their profits. Only then will they emerge victorious as the city’s wealthiest property magnate.—description from the publisher
