Mists Over Carcassonne is a cooperative version of the well-known tile-laying game Carcassonne. Working together, you place tiles and score points while trying to stop the spread of ghosts, contain haunted ground in cemeteries, and use haunted castles to your advantage. If too many ghosts are loose on the ground or you’ve collected too few points when the tiles run out, you lose the game. If you do manage to survive three days, you can adjust the difficulty level of the game to increase the challenge. In stores February 24.

7 Wonders Edifice is the next expansion to the award-winning 7 Wonders board game. This expansion allows players to earn rewards by participating in the building of communal edifices. Through simple rules and quick setup, 7 Wonders Edifice creates an accessible experience for both new and experienced 7 Wonders players.
Edifice add a strategic layer to 7 Wonders without extending the game’s length. For each Edifice, players must weigh the benefits and consequences of working with the other players. Join opponents in these communal projects or ignore their construction and focus resources on personal glory. If players complete an Edifice, they earn rewards, while those who chose to work alone will miss out on end-of-age benefits. Since this is an expansion, you will need the base 7 Wonders game to play.
