The heron flies over the Himeji sky while the Daimio, from the top of the castle,
watches his servants move. Gardeners tend the pond, where the koi carp live, warriors
stand guard on the walls, and courtiers crowd the gates, pining for an audience that
brings them closer to the innermost circles of the court. When night falls, the lanterns
are lit and the workers return to their clan.
The White Castle is a Euro type game with mechanics of resource management,
worker placement and dice placement to carry out actions. During the game, over
three rounds, players will send members of their clan to tend the gardens, defend the
castle or progress up the social ladder of the nobility. At the end of the game, these
will award players victory points in a variety of ways.

A new board and more actions for The White Castle.
Matcha incorporates a ton of new components that add even more variability to the base game: a new bridge, new dice, new spaces to win influence
and obtain resources, a Tea House, geishas, and the chasen, which are extra
resources.
But even more exciting is the extra turns that give you more opportunities
to earn influence. Are you ready to return to the Himeji Castle and master
the subtleties of the tea ceremony?

The Red Cathedral is a strategic, “Euro” board game in which the players take the roles of construction
teams. Their job is to work together to build St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow, as ordered by Ivan the
Terrible. However, only one of them will be able to gain the favour of the Tsar. During the game, the
players can carry out one of three actions: assign a section of the cathedral, send resources to that
section to build it, or go to the game board to achieve more resources. Each of these actions has its
own mechanism and requires that the players pay close attention to what the other players are doing.
The game board shows us the iconic rondel of The Red Cathedral. It is where the players obtain all
the resource types needed to complete their work on the cathedral, as well as to get favours from the
guilds and professionals to make the most of their trip to the market.
