1835  ^pop
This highly acclaimed game of railway building and share speculation is set in Germany. Each player learns what it is like to be a shareholder in railroad companies and aims at being the wealthiest player at the end of the game. Players that become directors of companies can manipulate their railroads, making their companies stronger and themselves rich-two things that do not always coincide.
In 1835, the length of the railway system throughout Germany was a respectable six kilometers. Today's network consists of a good ten thousand times more.
1835 -- Move by move, the players open up the country, laying tracks and building stations. The trackssystem expands by leaps ands bounds while locomotives spout great clouds of steam. The boom begins with corporations sproiuting like mushrooms. Priveate railway companies build, the goverment takes a piece of the action, and director's positions change hands. Trains are sold at give-away prices, returns on invenestments plunge and new trains promise new profits.

A Dog's Life  ^pop
It's A DOG'S LIFE, and you're a junkyard dog! The object? To be the first pooch on the block to bury 4 bones in your back-yard. In order to find the bones, you must scavenge from trash cans, beg at restaurants, and generally behave like a 'dog about town'. But remember, it's every dog for itself and the competition is tough. Dogs must 'mark their territories' in order to slow other dogs down, and fight bravely against bullies trying to steal their bones. And don't forget the merciless Dogcatcher! Each dog is very different, with varying skills and breed characteristics. Whether you're a wily poodle or a hearty husky, the task is not an easy one, and fortunes change at the flick of a tail. After all, it's A DOG'S LIFE!
Each dog, depending on their own characteristics, has a number of points which they may spend each turn in order to perform various actions. A unique system of cards determines the results of these actions and keeps the outcome from being completely driven by luck. Players have a wide variety of choices, whether they want to work toward their own goals, or harass their opponents. The rules are very simple and logical, and allow players the sorts of actions and choices that a junkyard dog would make.
Players quickly become attached to their dogs, especially as each dog has a unique personality and skills. The rules can be learned while playing, and are not hard to remember. The situations in the game, and the choices for players are nearly infinite. The entire family can easily pick up the game and immediately enjoy playing it. And, the winner is not necessarily the most skillful, or the luckiest, but just the best at being a dog!

Alhambra (English Language Version)  ^pop
Granada, 1278. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, one of the most exciting and interesting projects of the Spanish Middle Ages begins: the construction of Alhambra. Experience, over the course of the game, determines how the construction of this Spanish wonder takes place. The game is easy to learn: just a few rules and you’re ready to play.
Each round, you must decide: Do you take a currency note, so that later on you can acquire a valuable piece of the Palace - a Pavilion or a Manor for example? Or do you purchase one of the available Palace pieces to expand your Alhambra? Be careful as you won’t receive any change. However, if you can pay the exact amount, you will get another turn immediately!
During the scoring rounds, you will receive Victory Points for having the majority of any type of palace piece. But that’s not the only way to score points: the longer your City Wall, the more protected your Alhambra will be, earning you additional points.

Anathema  ^pop
Fear. Paranoia. Hysteria. These were commonplace in Salem Massachusetts during the year 1692.

The Planetary Union of the Andromeda galaxy wants wealthy traders from Earth to invest in their economy, but they want to limit those investments. To control such investments, they have allocated three orbiting economic centers above each of their most important planets for development by Earth interests.

The Planetary Union hopes this competition will bring them even more money for these investments as the Earthlings compete for the best centers. To keep the Earthlings from conspiring amongst themselves to divide up the economic centers on their own with secret agreements, the Planetary Union requires that all trades be done under their watchful eyes. They also have spies probing for such secret negotiations and will eliminate traders who are caught in such activities.
