Quined Games Returns to Carson City, Picks Up Haspelknecht & Discovers Xanadú

Carson City is a strategic game played in four rounds, and in each one of them, the players choose a character from the seven available that gives certain advantages.

After selecting characters, your cowboys are placed on action track locations that allow you to construct buildings, houses, or roads; claim ground; earn money; or score victory points. When more than one player is on the same location, get ready, it is time for a duel! Roll the dice and see if you are the last one standing and lay claim to the goods!

During the game, you can take various actions that earn you victory points for your plots, pistols (the hired help), and buildings. At the end of the game, your buildings, houses, mountains, and money contribute to your victory points, and the person with the most points wins. So go round up your posse of gunslingers and get ready for some Wild West action in Carson City!

Carson City: Gold & Guns contains updated buildings and houses, new buildings, new double-sided characters, the "Indian" character, and a separate expansion called "The Outlaws".

In Carson City: Horses & Heroes, players can visit the rodeo to claim additional victory points and use horses to unlock special actions. Three new characters are also added to the game. Finally, all the material needed to play with a sixth player are included in this expansion.

In Haspelknecht, the third title in Thomas Spitzer's coal trilogy of games, the players take upon the role of farmers with opportunities to exploit the presence of coal in their lands in the southern part of the Ruhr region of Germany.

The game is set during the time when the lands were mostly flocked with forests and roads were rare. Coal was found here, nearly at the surface. During the game, the players obtain knowledge about this material, extend the farm, and dig deeper in the ground to get more coal. The game has many ways that lead to victory.

Haspelknecht has an innovative action selection mechanism. The player has to pick the right tasks, and he has also to take care of the ground water which will spoil opportunities to get coal.


The game offers a lot of variation and replayability as the knowledge tiles offer countless possible set-ups.
