POTION EXPLOSION

Create potions then use their abilities to create more. Marbles represent ingredients and a dispenser keeps them in tracks. Pick out one and the rest roll down to close the gap. If a marble collides into the same color, then it’s an “explosion.” That is, you also take all those marble that collided that are of that color. Which in turn might trigger another chain reaction.

CAESAR’S EMPIRE

“All roads MUST lead to Rome!” Players take the role of Roman generals building routes to expand the empire of Julius Caesar (of the Asterix & Obelix comics). An easy and short game that still offers depth of play.
