Great nations protect and provide for their own, while fighting and competing against both other nations and nature itself. Nations must provide food as the population increases, build a productive economy, and amaze the world with their great achievements to build up their heritage as the greatest nations in the history of mankind!

You don’t need to talk to communicate.Make people guess hundreds of objects, characters, and titles by combining universal icons. What icons would you use to signify brainwashing, tea, the Great Sphinx of Giza, 'blind as a bat,' or Beyoncé? How many ways can you interpret a red-roofed house, a Cartesian plane, a blue-irised eye, or a computer motherboard? There are no wrong ways to use the icons, pawns, and cubes of Concept, no time limits, a simple point system, a few essential rules. Instead, you’re encouraged to play around with Concept, be inventive and, above all, make meaning in unique and original ways. ConceptYou’re sitting at home on a casual weekend afternoon, watching movies with your friends and your dog. Suddenly, you see a massive, living, breathing, real dinosaur stroll right past the window. Naturally, you rush over to watch the dinosaur and try to get your friends to come witness it as well. But for some horrible and unfair reason, your ability to speak is suddenly gone. You must explain the dinosaur without using words. Somehow you manage to convey that there’s something like the dog, but not like the dog, and it's huge and green and outside. Your friends abruptly grasp what’s going on and join you in watching the dinosaur walk towards the horizon, sharing with you this wonderful, uncanny moment. This is basically what it's like to play Concept. You draw a card, which gives nine words or phrases for you to pick from. The suggestions are divided into “easy,” “hard,” and “challenging,” and if your group wants, you can give players additional points for guessing more difficult ideas. Start by placing the main concept pawn on an icon that indicates the core of what the concept is. Some concepts involve more than one line of connected ideas. In that case, sub-concept pawns and cubes of the matching colour can be used to indicate a secondary descriptive idea. For even more complex ideas, or if players are struggling to guess the word or phrase, you may want to use multiple sub-concepts.
• Description Compete to steal cheese, but beware the cats as they won't leave you at ease! Players take turns sabotaging their friends and collecting cards while hoping for Cheese until someone decides to unleash the Cat! Everyone drops their cards face-down on the table, and the real heist begins. Players take any card they want, no matter to whom it belonged previously! They use their sixth sense and deducting skills to steal precious Cheese while looking directly at the scared eyes of their friends. It’s madness, you would say, but there are a lot of ways to win this game! But in the end, players will still be friends, because there are no harsh feelings in this game. • Main Goal Be the first to collect 5 Cheese cards and get rid of all Cat cards from your hand.
Inspired by the best-selling and award-winning War of the Ring board game, War of the Ring - The Card Game allows players to journey to the world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and create their own version of the dramatic conflict between the Dark Lord, Sauron, and the Free Peoples of Middle-earth. In War of the Ring - The Card Game, up to 4 players compete in two teams, the Shadow against the Free Peoples, each player using a specific and different card deck representing the strengths and weaknesses of the different factions involved in the war. The Free Peoples desperately try to complete their quest to destroy the One Ring, while at the same time defending their homelands from the encroaching hordes of Sauron and from his evil allies. The Shadow players must strike quickly and decisively, before the Ring-bearers can complete their quest; or try to slowly corrupt Frodo, burdening him with wounds, toil, and the sorrow for the loss of his Companions. During the game, players will take turns playing cards representing the characters, armies, items, and events of the War of the Ring. Each card they play will help or hinder the journey of the Fellowship as it progresses on its Path; or be used to defend or conquer the strongholds of Middle-earth, as they fight to control the new Battleground cards activated in each round. With more than 100 original illustrations from the greatest Tolkienian artists in the world, including an amazing gallery of landscapes from The Shire to Mordor by John and Fataneh Howe, War of the Ring - The Card Game is more than a game – it's also a memorable collection for all lovers of the world imagined by J.R.R. Tolkien. This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age, like you never did before!
