Concept: It’s the year 2400 and Earth is dying. Play as one of five giant corporations that won the bid to terraform Mars. You’ll work together to make this planet’s atmosphere similar to Earth’s (so it can sustain human life), while competing for Victory Points. You can earn points needed to win the game by acquiring cards, completing the projects, contributing to the terraform process and by, well, just being a decent person.

Price: $39.99 (regularly $69.99)

Concept: Same as the first edition, just with an additional scenario. So you’re shipwrecked on an island and your only goal is survival. But as life usually does, it throws a lot of variables at you – and in this game those variables are ancient towns and civilizations.

Price: $39.99 (regularly $64.99)

5) Dark Souls: The Board Game

Concept: It’s like the video game except without the screen, it’s on your table, oh, and it’s multiplayer. But don’t worry, that same  mechanism is still here to return you to the damn bonfire every time you die. Which will happen, a lot. You may grind this with your best party and still never make it to the boss. Because, well, it’s still Dark Souls and pretty much anything can happen … as long as it’s not in your favor.

Price: $71.99 (regularly $119.99)
