    In game terms, Gaïa involves tile placement, area control and influence with a twist of power cards. Each player has five wooden figures, and if you’re the first to place all five of your figures on the board, you win!
    Gaïa includes two levels of rules, with the basic rules allowing for play with those as young as eight thanks to the game’s simple mechanisms and non-attacking nature. The advanced rules give you the opportunity to use godly powers — lightning, volcanoes, rain, sun, earthquakes, etc. — to shape the world after it has been created. You can even steal an opponent’s cities, making it a more aggressive game with a higher level of strategy.

    (3-6 Players/20 mins.)
     
    As ruler, it’s up to you to build the mightiest realm in the world! Will you choose to follow military tactics and sweep away all in your path with a massive army? Will you turn towards sorcery and control an inaccessible island surrounded by impenetrable flames? The choice is yours, and no two realms will ever be the same in Fantasy Realms, a combo-licious card game.
    Fantasy Realms takes seconds to learn: Draw a card, discard a card — though you can draw from the deck or the discard area!
    Make the best hand you can by making the best combos. The game ends when ten cards are in the discard area. Aim for the highest score to win!
    To make scoring easier, the WizKids Games Companion offers a scoring helper for Fantasy Realms! After your game is complete, input your cards into the app & instantly see who won! Also a handy lookup of all cards! Available on iOS and Google Play.
     
    Chronicles of Crime $39.99
    (1-4 Players/60-90 mins.)
     
    Chronicles of Crime is a cooperative game of crime investigation, mixing an app, a board game and a touch of Virtual Reality.
    With the same physical components (board, locations, characters and items), players will be able to play plenty of different scenarios and solve as many different crime stories.
    Players start the app, choose the scenario they want to play, and follow the story. The goal being to catch the killer of the current case in the shortest short time possible.
    Using the Scan&Play technology, each component (locations, characters, items, etc.) has a unique QR code, which, depending on the scenario selected, will activate and trigger different clues and stories. That means players will be able to get new stories way after the game is released simply by downloading the app’s updates, without any shipping of new physical components involved.
    The VR experience only requires a mobile phone. Players simply put the VR glasses (optional buy) onto their mobile device, and put the VR glasses on their nose, holding their mobile device in front of their eyes, to immerse themselves in the game’s universe and search for clues in a virtual world.
    The game comes with 1 tutorial and 5 scenarios, but more can be downloaded directly inside the app!
    Each session last around 1h to 1h30 minutes and many scenarios are connected to each others in order to tell a much bigger story.
