<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Dr. Shark</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">The evil Dr. Shark is holding a cocktail party on his private island. Spies will try to gather clues hidden in the pool in order to build a case against Dr. Shark.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">In turn, the players move their spy towards a free space at the bottom of the pool. They then gather clues by searching bare-handed in a bag, by following various directives. They could end up searching by only paying attention to the shapes or textures of the clues, search by the handful, or actually look into the bag to get the clue of their choice. The search ends if they find a shark or if the timer runs out.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: black;">The Cyclades are currently at peace, but the sound of furious battles still echoes in our memories. Is this a long lasting peace or nothing but a short truce? <br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">There are whispers that Hades will soon return, bringing his undead phalanxes and ghost ships&hellip; Every city-state will need to demonstrate their skills at recruiting powerful heroes and gaining the favors of all the gods of Olympus, even terrifying Hades, to extend its supremacy over his opponents. <br /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">This box contains several modules which can be incorporated one by one into the basic game, according to the desires and experience levels of the players.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Designed by Reiner Knizia (<a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=35&amp;enmi=Through%20The%20Desert"><em>Through the Desert</em></a>, <a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=53&amp;enmi=Colossal%20Arena"><em>Colossal Arena</em></a>), <em>Kingdoms</em> is a fast-paced, strategic board game in which two to four players  assume the roles of rival kings trying to increase their wealth by  establishing castles across the land. By building castles in the richest  regions, you stand to reap the most rewards. But build carefully! The  most sought after regions may be infested with dragons, trolls, and  other hazards that seek to rob your kingdom of its riches.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.riograndegames.com/uploads/Game/Game_409_imageBoxCover.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1328911404359" alt="" /></span></span>Hawaii</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; In Hawaii the players play the game on a variable game board that is different for each game. Thus, the players must adjust their strategies to the board each game in order to be successful. The player who manages to find the best tactics for the board offered will win the game and the admiration of the other players. The players will need to decide when and what to build, when to buy, and when to wait.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #660066;">&nbsp;&nbsp; In his last will,  your rich uncle stated that all his millions will go to the nephew who can enjoy money the most. How did he want to  find this out? Each player is given a large amount of money and whoever  can spend it first will be the rightful heir. Visit the most exclusive theatres or eat in the  most expensive restaurants. Buy old properties for the price of new ones and  sell them as old ruins. Host a huge party in your mansion or on your private  boat. Spend like your life depend's on it. Spend to become rich!</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>POWER GRID - THE FIRST SPARKS:</strong> As clan leader you are responsible for the well-being of your clan  during the Stone Age. You need to develop new hunting technologies and  get new knowledge, to successfully hunt food or to learn to control  fire. With help of these skills you will harvest enough food to feed  your clan and to spread it far enough to reach new hunting areas.</p>
<p><strong>POWER GRID - THE ROBOTS:</strong> You finally have a new opponent for your Power Grid games: a robot that acts as an additional player.&nbsp; Thanks to his different actions and special abilities he is a strong opponent. You will manage the robot's "decisions" and can use him to act against the other opponent(s).<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; Power Grid - The Robots is designed especially for two players, but you can use a robot with up to five human players, too. You can even use more than one robot in a game.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; The robot consists of five tiles, one tile with rules for each phase plus a special ability, which the robot uses during the game. <em style="font-size: 70%;">(from BoardGameGeek.com)</em></p>
