In Bellum Magica, players can recruit monsters like goblins and dragons to construct an engine that automatically grows resources during the game or form armies to attack the kingdoms of the humans or the other players.

Neoville pits architects against each other in a contest to see who can best design a city in harmony with the natural world. Players place tiles and skyscapers in their own 4x4 grid, trying to earn “harmony points” for the value and size of their districts. But, elements that do not fit harmoniously result in penalty points.This game comes with 78 tiles, 28 3D skyscrapers, and 36 tokens. Neoville is intended for 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up. MSRP is $29.99.
