http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=2967 A donkey plods onward, carrying some building material. Three geese are following some steps behind. All is well, when suddenly the sky darkens and a loud roar drowns out all other sound. The donkey frightens and looks up; someone in a three-piece suit is jumping out of an aeroplane. A minute later, he has landed and immediately starts giving orders: "Fold up this parachute! We've got work to do around here! This place will flood any minute now." A train stops and unloads some statues. "Bwah. Art!" growls the manager. We've got more serious things to worry about. Ask the traders if they have been able to procure any iron, we need to connect our oil platform to the power grid. And by the way, has that old paper mill in the city been blown up yet?"The donkey plods onwards. It has to build a road first...&cetera is an expansion set for the Splotter game Roads & Boats.

Roads and Boats 4th EditionDirect link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=2966 In Roads & Boats, each player builds up a civilization over a long period of time, like in many other games. Unlike most games, however, Roads & Boats is not about warfare, population growth, city or state building. The emphasis instead is on logistics, or rather: on transport.Each player starts the game with three donkeys, a pile of wooden boards, a number of stones and two geese. With these few resources, you try to build such diverse things as woodcutters, roads, boats, mines, a stock exchange... but beware! There is no concept of territory in this game: you cannot own land, nor buildings, so the things you build can be used by any other player.
Trains and StationsDirect link :
http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/single.php?menu=2&sub=n&game=7891 All Aboard!It is the height of the steam age and the whistle of the iron horse harkens the boom of small towns across the country into major hubs of transportation and economic growth.Trains and Stations is a new take on train games designed by Eric M Lang. Players must make deliveries, develop buildings and profit from their decisions while working with and against other players. Will you focus on establishing mining operations in an attempt to gain a monopoly on coal, silver and gold? Or, perhaps you will focus on laying tracks across the landscape and helping other players move their goods - taking your cut, of course. Every game will evolve differently with unique twists and turns as you control the movement of goods across the game map.Contents:1 game board50 custom 6-sided dice45 plastic buildings25 coin tokens120 cards

In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Journey to The Lonely Mountain, acclaimed designer Eric Lang weaves elegant thematic game play with scenes, events and characters from the movie. The player actions of advance, reinforce, battle, rest and regroup are easy to learn, but the strategy behind anticipating and reacting to your opponent's moves with your limited resources provides immense depth of play for even the most experienced players. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Journey to The Lonely Mountain features 5 pre-painted figures using the HeroClix base for variable character stats, cards and tokens.
