IELLO Makes the Old New Again in Little Factory, Sticky Cthulhu, and For the King (and Me)

The young monarch has no knack for governing. Take advantage of this by taking on all the most prestigious government duties! Share cards, choose the most high-profile jobs...then experience an auction phase as belligerent as it is clever!

In For the King (and Me), you wish to become the most valuable minister by collecting the right cards while lowering the value of your opponents' objectives. The game lasts multiple rounds with players first collecting cards, then bidding for cards. During the collection phase, as the active player you draw cards one at a time, keeping one for yourself, placing one in an auction pile, and placing the others face up for the other players to draft. Once you take a card, you can't take another, so sometimes it's a tough call to decide when you want to take something. Once you've had multiple collection phases, the cards in the auction pile will be auctioned one by one.

Some cards are worth points depending on their color, some are worth gold, and some allowing you to manipulate the value of the various colors. Once all the cards have been auctioned, players reveal their hands and tally their points to see who wins.

In the resource management and building construction card game Little Factory, 2-4 players increase their assets by processing resources into other resources, such as turning wood into wood or charcoal, or turning charcoal and flour into bread. If you increase your assets, you can build a building and use that building to acquire resources and victory points more quickly.


The more buildings players construct, the more actions that become available on future turns. On a turn, players take one of two actions:

—Production: Choose a resource card or building card in the production action area, and gain the item shown on it; or,
—Trade: Discard resource cards from your hand to acquire resource or building cards of the same value or less from the available cards.

In addition, players can use the effects of each building they own once per turn (including on the turn during which they were acquired). An example of a building effect is: exchanging a thread card in hand for cloth available in the play area. Chain together cards, buildings, and actions to create more victory points. The player who collects 10+ victory points first wins!

In Khôra: Rise of an Empire, you are the ruler of a resplendent city in Ancient Greece. It's up to you to develop it faster and better than your opponents. You can make many political choices in each round, and philosophy, legislation, culture, trade, and military will shape the future of your city. Optimize your dice rolls, collect taxes, send your army to colonize foreign lands, unlock achievements, and make sure your city will shine throughout all of Greece!
