Bilingual edition (English & German) - including a challenging solo game!

The box sides show the English title: FREE RIDE

Idea of the game
Around the end of the 19th century, a growing network of railway lines was built in Europe. This allowed people to travel to the major cities to visit beautiful structures influenced by Art Nouveau and Historicism.
In Free Ride, you are taking charge of building the railway lines. Connect the cities in Europe and carry passengers to the cities. Your own railway lines and state-owned railway lines are free of charge. If you want to use railway lines of fellow players you must pay them, which converts their lines into state-owned railway lines.
Choose travel routes from an open display of city cards and fulfill them to gain victory points at the end of the game. The goal of Free Ride is to visit as many different cities of Europe as possible. Free Ride also offers a difficult solo challenge!
The new concepts of Free Ride
You are building railway lines between cities. There are three kinds of railway lines in Free Ride: your lines, lines owned by fellow players, and state-owned lines. When you travel along railway lines, you pay nothing to travel on yours and state-owned. However, to travel on a fellow player’s line, you must pay them 1 coin to convert their line to state-owned. From then on, traveling on that line is free for all players. As coins are limited, you should carefully balance the building of your lines with the conversion of fellow players’ lines to state-owned lines.
During the game, you can choose from 6 travel routes in the public display. Each travel route consists of 3 city cards, and each offers two different options. Take 2 of the 3 city cards without changing their order while returning the remaining city card of the travel route to the game box. Thus, you cannot reverse the travel route or choose the first and third cards for your travel route.
In Free Ride it is always all about these decisions: do you build new railway lines, or move your train? Do you wait for better travel routes on display, or snatch the best travel routes from under your fellow players’ noses?

The decor of this game is reminiscent of Volker's great passion: Japan. We translate the name Little Tokyo quite freely: "With-calm-hand-the-opponent-choke-in-so-the-minus-points-just-fly-around-the-ears."
The waving cat Maneki-neko, the angry Kaiju, the fat ass of the sumo wrestler - stack them all into a crazy tower. And see that your friends don't know how to get their Alna Sharyo tram in place. Or another block that they have on their leg right now. The whole thing always goes one after the other! It is crucial that your stuff stays up and that the others use clumsy fingers to unbalance the tower.
Little Tokyo is the start of a new series of Heldbergs games. The rules are simple. What if nobody has time for a match? Then you play for yourself. Or you can decorate your apartment with the iconic figures.
The figures are not only game figures, but also figures to play with. That means you can just play with it, or collect ...

Ramen - for us it is a brutally delicious noodle soup from Japan
But for its makers, ramen is the center of an equally brutal battle in a mega-market. Because in the metropolis of Tokyo, chefs compete hard for the best ingredients so that they can fulfill the wishes of their customers. In the new Heldbergs game "Ramen Chef" you are at the forefront of this battle. Because you are one of up to four chefs who run their soup business with sophistication and intelligence in order to become one of the biggest ramen chefs in Tokyo. Your weapon? Your smart head!
In this clever flip memo variant, you can find ingredients together. For this you need a clear head and strong nerves, because so much concentration under pressure is a real ordeal.
Ramen Chef is the second in a series of games created by Heldbergs. It plays with the great love of Heldbergs founder Volker: Japan. It is aimed at adults or families who have fun with new game ideas, as well as design lovers who love and appreciate the unique signature of @chriskillerartworx and Heldbergs. There is only one thing the game cannot do: defeat your cabbage on real ramen. For this you have to stand in the kitchen for better or worse! Try the super hot ramen broth from J.Kinski!

Your scouts have discovered a hidden valley deep in the mountains of Pandoria, divided by rivers and large lakes. Here your people can develop the land undisturbed.
But as you begin to inhabit these new lands, you discover that you are not alone: trolls from the surrounding mountains are staking their claims.
You compete with the increasingly powerful trolls for the greatest influence in these 7 new territories. Can you evolve fast enough to be the dominant realm in the end?

Pandoria Trolls & Trails contains a new huge doublesided map for the solo version and an alternative map for the regular multiplayer game, the „Trails“.
