Around the World in 80 Days
Following in Jules Verne's footsteps, players wager on their ability to travel around the world in 80 days. Whoever makes it back to London with the greatest number of days left in his time bank is the winner.
On a player's turn, he chooses one of the face-up travel cards. At the end of his turn, he must decide whether or not he wishes to continue traveling to the next stop. If he wishes to continue, then he must have and discard the required travel cards. The two transportation types are trains and ships. For example, if '2 x ship' is required to travel from Suez to Bombay, then 2 ship cards must be discarded. Train cards won't help in this instance. Time is used up in the individual stages of the journey in the form of days. The amount of time used up depends on the travel cards used. Each card indicates how many days it uses up, and those days are subtracted from the player's time bank. Choosing which travel cards to use doesn't depend only on the cards, however. Each card also allows a special action to be carried out, one which can influence the overall result. Players can receive gold, travel via hot air balloon (thereby saving valuable days) and much more.

Balloon Cup  ^pop
In Balloon Cup, the players compete in several short balloon flights (hops) to collect the colored cubes associated with each hop. When a player has collected enough cubes of a given color, he earns the trophy card for that color. Players may even trade 3 otherwise useless cubes for 1 they can use. The first player to earn 3 trophy cards is the winner! Each player has a hand of eight balloon cards. The players play their balloons on mountain or plain hops. Players play their high-valued balloons on the mountains and their low-valued balloons on the plains. Players usually play their balloons on their side of the hops, but winds (and cunning) can cause them to play on their opponent’s side, a move that can ruin their opponent’s plans.

Battle Line
Battle Line is a card game of 'capture the flags' using an ancient battle formation theme. It plays like rummy or poker, is easy to learn, and has strategy and the ability to provide surprises to your opponent.

Bean Trader
The players take the roles of bean traders and are members of the famous Bohn Hanse, the union of northern European cities and merchants involved in the bean trade in the middle ages. The players travel from Hanse city to Hanse city in wagons filled with valuable beans to deliver bean orders and to buy more beans. When a player is in a city and has an order card and the necessary beans to fulfill the order, he may deliver the beans and collect the value of the order from the bank. When two or more players are together in a city, they may trade beans among themselves. Trading beans is important as it allows players to get rid of unwanted beans and acquire needed beans. In addition, a player will buy beans in the city, if they have the kind he wants. From time to time, the bean supplies will be replenished as described on new harvest cards. After eight new harvests, the game begins its last round. After this last round, the game ends and the player with the most bean thalers (money) is the winner.

Carcassonne (with River tiles)  ^pop
A clever tile-laying game. The southern French city of Carcassonne is famous for its unique Roman and Medieval fortifications. The players develop the area around Carcassonne and deploy their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters, and in the fields. The skill of the players to develop the area will determine who is victorious.
Special rules for the 12 river tiles:
Remove the special starting tile from the game. Instead, begin the game by laying the spring that starts the river. Set aside the lake tile and schuffle the remaining 10 river tiles face down and draw from these before drawing from the tiles from the normal game. These tiles ae played and followers may be played as in the normal game with one exception: a river tile may not be placed so that the river makes a 'U' turn. Followers may not be placed on rivers. Once these 10 river tiles have been played, the next player plays the lake and then play continues with the normal tiles.
Note: Check out the Carcassonne Bundle

There are several items waiting on the castle wall for the first player to reach them. Each will prove useful to the player who acquires them.
