AFU: Armed Forces of Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, a full-scale war began right in the center of Europe. Missiles launched from the territory of Russia and Belarus began to destroy civilian and military infrastructure. Russia's troops invaded Ukraine. However, thanks to the determined resistance of the Ukrainian army (AFU) and the territorial defense forces in the early days of the aggression, the occupying army suffered a significant loss in personnel and machinery.

AFU: Armed Forces of Ukraine is a deck-building card game. We offer you the chance to test your strength and defeat the invaders.

The game consists of two phases. During the first phase, you need to think and plan your strategy and start building up your army. Every turn, you have to correctly distribute your resources in order to repel the enemy's attack, get as many bonuses as possible, and mobilize troops.

During the second phase, the game becomes even more interesting thanks to various events that will affect the players. Unlock objects, destroy the enemy, and do not forget about the achievements to prove your mastery of this game. Skillful management of the troops of the Armed Forces and preventing dismay will help you deliver a crushing defeat to the enemy!

Super Mario Bros. Power Up Card Game

In the Super Mario Bros. Power Up Card Game, you want to survive the perils of the Mushroom Kingdom and make it safely to the Castle, but to do that, you'll need to use your wits and deduction skills to figure out how to take out everyone else who might beat you there.

Each round, players receive a secret level card at random, with these cards being numbered 1-12. After looking at their card, each player in order can swap their card with the one held by their right-hand neighbor. Will you get something better? Maybe! If someone has a castle card, they're immune from trade or disasters this round. After everyone has traded or passed, players can play "? Block" power-ups to affect their strength or others. Whoever has the lowest score in a round loses one of their life tokens, and if you lose all four life, you're out of the game!

Autumn

Autumn, a game of paths and falling leaves, is a 18 cards minigame.

In Autumn each player takes turns placing a card on other previously played cards. Each card shows four groups of leaves and, in order to play it, you should place it overlapping other cards in play, covering one or two groups. The goal is being the player with the largest area of connected leaves at the end of the game.

Winter

Every winter, the lake freezes over. It won’t last long, so we have to play as soon as possible, trying to dominate the frozen parts of the lake before everything unfreezes and we lose everything. In order to win, choose key spaces wisely before your rival does, and control them. Show that the cold never bothered you.

In Winter, two players compete to be the player with the most chips of their color on the lake at the end of the game. The game is divided into two phases. In the first, the freezing phase, players will create the frozen lake in a contiguous form using their snowflake cards. They’ll also attempt to secure zones in which they’ve managed to group four snowflakes of their color using chips. In the second phase, the unfreezing, they’ll undo the creation by moving and retrieving their cards and chips of their color. At the end of the game, the player with the most chips on the table is declared the winner.

Winter is an abstract game for 2 players ages 8 and up. Games last 10 minutes in which good decisions are everything. This is a reissue of the 2016 edition with all new mechanics.

Winter was the winner of the 2021 Cardboard Edison Award. It’s the first of a series of the 4 Seasons series that will continue later with Autumn, Summer, and Spring.
