    On the other side of the snow-capped mountains of Crestaguja, south of the Everdell valley, lies the rugged region of Silverfrost. There, critters brave the cold seasons to enjoy the serene beauty of this land and the warmth of a loyal community. It is up to you to build and maintain a city in this inhospitable landscape. You must clear accumulated snow, light fires to keep your citizens warm and thriving, and complete important missions for the Ranger Guild.

    This is how we are presented with Everdell Silverfrost, designed by James A. Wilson and Clarissa A. Wilson (Everdell, Everdell Duo). First published in 2025 by Starling Games in an English version. The illustrations are handled by Enggar Adirasa (Everdell Duo, Mistfall) and Lukas Siegmon (Age of Innovation, Hallertau).

    Welcome to House of Fado, a Portuguese restaurant that serves typical food and wine from Portugal and offers performances of fado, a traditional music genre that is iconic and globally recognized. Fado is a musical genre whose origins in Lisbon, Portugal, date back to the 1820s, although they are probably much older. Although its roots are difficult to trace, today fado is popularly regarded as a form of singing that can be about any subject, but must follow a certain traditional structure. In popular belief, fado is a form of music characterized by mournful tunes and lyrics, often about the sea or the life of the poor, and infused with a sentiment of resignation, fate, and melancholy. This is loosely defined by the Portuguese word saudade (longing), which symbolizes a feeling of loss.

    This is how House of Fado is presented to us, a design by João Quintela Martins (Bot Factory, Lusitania) and Vital Lacerda (Lisboa, Vinhos). First published in 2025 by Eagle-Gryphon Games in an English version following a successful crowdfunding campaign. The illustrations are handled by Marina Costa (Café, Oliva, Lata).

After years of tranquility, the time has come to expand territories and establish new cities. You will lead a group of critters with the intent of achieving such a task. Buildings must be erected to attract diverse characters, and certain objectives must be completed. You have a busy year ahead of you.
