Pandoria (2nd ed)

At first glance this looks like a fairly standard exploration and exploitation game. Place terrain tiles and then pawns to claim them. When an area of the same terrain is enclosed, it provides resources. Except that these go to the players with their pieces on the surrounding tiles. Thus there's a lot of careful positional play just to acquire resources.

Resources are used to construct buildings, which then provide useful bonuses, or to cast spells, for one-off advantages. Key amongst these is generating the 'Prestige' that's needed to win the game.

This is a clever game that requires some serious thinking as it's tricky to get your head round. The second edition has tweaked the game a bit to balance the realms and spells, has new illustrations and a double-sided board to give players some options. Plus rules for a family game that's a bit less demanding.

There are also expansions to mess with your head a bit further: Artifacts, Realms and Trolls & Trails (which also adds a solitaire option). There's also a roll-and-write version of the game, Pandoria Merchants.

For 2-4 players, aged 10+, playing time 90-120 minutes: £40.00 (£33.33 without tax outside the UK)

Pandoria: Artifacts

This substantial expansion provides another goal for players: to collect the ancient artifacts they find as they explore the land. Get the right artifacts, assemble a complete relic and earn even more 'prestige'. It works with all the modes of play in the base game.

It also adds mountain castles that can be used to block an exit path.

With base game: 2-4 players, aged 10+, playing time 60-90 minutes: £14.00 (£11.67 without tax outside the UK)

Pandoria: Realms

This neat little expansion adds five more Realms to the game, each with its own special power. These give players more options to choose from – and different enemies to overcome.

With base game: 2-4 players, aged 10+, playing time 60-90 minutes: £7.50 (£6.25 without tax outside the UK)

Pandoria: Trolls & Trails

I think it should be Trolls or Trails. The expansion is a double-sided board showing a 'hidden' valley. The Trolls side provides a solitaire game against the trolls staking their claim to the valley. The Trails side provides an alternative map for the base game.

With base game: 1-4 players, aged 10+, playing time 30-90 minutes: £10.00 (£8.33 without tax outside the UK)
