Action / Event

The term Angel's Share refers to the portion of an alcoholic beverage, particularly whiskey, cognac, or wine, that is lost to evaporation during the aging process in barrels. This evaporation occurs naturally as the beverage matures in wooden casks.

Angel's Share is a poetic term for an inevitable and essential process that plays a key role in creating high-quality spirits. The term originates from the idea that the evaporated liquid rises to the heavens and is "taken" by angels.

Typically, around 2–5% per year, depending on climate, humidity, and storage conditions, are lost.
The Angel's Share contributes to the concentration of flavors, as the remaining liquid becomes more intense. For producers, the loss due to evaporation is a significant cost factor, as less product remains, especially for spirits aged for a long time.

In Angel's Share – the game - you are a shrewd investor looking to make the most money in the rapidly growing whiskey industry.
You will be purchasing barrels from renowned distilleries in hopes of turning a large profit. However, as time goes on a bit of each barrel evaporates - the Angel’s Share - which can leave you with a prestigious whiskey, or a low volume of a broken down spirit.

You have to manage your limited actions, aging barrels, and tight budget to make the most money chasing the perfect whiskey.

You become the master of an army of monsters living in the night world. Gather more subordinates than other parade, prove your strength, and become the "King of Monsters"!

"Yokai Bakasaka" is a card game in which players play against each other. Players take their turns and play their "Yokai cards" into their own parade and potentially summon "Yokai General cards" for big effect. When the "Yokai General card deck" or the "Yokai deck" runs out, the player with the most cards in his parade wins!

1949: Germany, still in ruins from WWII, is split in two, as the Iron Curtain of the Cold War descends. East Germany and West Germany become bitter rivals, each wanting to show its system is superior. Which will reconstruct quicker? Which will make its people happier? Socialism vs Capitalism; collectivism vs individualism - which will triumph?

Wir sind das Volk! ("We are the people!" — the main slogan of the East German demonstrators in 1989) recreates the history of the divided Germany, from the Berlin Airlift to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Flowing from how the 84 individually designed action cards are played, each game is different. There are many possible strategies. Will East Germany build the Wall or stem the exodus of its citizens another way?

East vs West: as a player, you take the role of East or West Germany. Use your action cards wisely. Build up your economy and increase the living standards of your people. Don’t fall behind, or you will face widespread unrest. Also win the contest for international prestige. Precise planning is the key to victory. But be careful! Even the best plans may be derailed by events like the 1973 Oil Crisis or the Monday demos. Mass protests, that may seal your fate, are always on the horizon.
