As a Renaissance banker, you will finance kings or republics, sponsor voyages of discovery, join secret cabals, or unleash jihads and inquisitions. Your choices determine if Europe is elevated into the bright modern era or remains festering in dark feudalism. Four victories determine the future course of Western Society: will it be towards imperialism, trade globalization, religious totalitarianism, or enlightened art and science? Ranked in the top 100 thematic games by BoardGameGeek. Pax Renaissance 2nd edition has updated and expanded rules, components and new Renaissance inspired art. Previous expansion pack (59 Market cards) and BGG promo cards (5 cards) included in the core game.

Start as a plant or animal making first landfall half a billion years ago, then evolve it on drifting continents in the face of competition and huge ecological events: Win if become the dominant herbivore or carnivore.

In the full game you can grow from 200 grams to 20 tonnes. The atmosphere is tracked for oxygen, cloud cover, and greenhouse gases, and the decisions the players make influence the climate.

Bios Megafauna comes with 8 "continents" that can drift around, 160 mutation cards, 140 wooden laser-cut creeples of flying, burrowing, swimming, and armored creatures, various tokens of fossils and monsters, 110 wooden cubes, 42 climate disks, and 20 dice (mainly to track creature size). For the full game, there are 3 latitude strips and a climate board that tracks oxygen, clouds, and greenhouse gases. The game is the second game of the "Bios" trilogy, which can be played together or separately.

We have reworked the game Origins from ground up, keeping its bottom-up take on civilization games, but with new features to integrate it with the arc from the predecessor games Bios:Genesis and Bios:Megafauna (second edition). The old Origins had dice, these are gone, but the classic map is retained.

Bios:Origins include 2 maps. One traditional Earth map and one more empty ocean map. New is a hexgrid, found on the back of the map board, for building custom maps. This can be used to to create custom maps using the punch out hexes included in Bios:Origins or recreate the cratons from an end state of Bios:Megafauna (second edition) if you are playing a trilogy campaign game.

The empty ocean map can be used in your Bios:Megafauna game too if you want, while playing that.

The cards have been sorted in categories of Culture, Politics, and Industry, and a Market has been added. Designers: Phil Eklund & Jon Manker.

Includes 60 metal Silfr coins and 20 metal Gull coins for Pax Viking.
