#19 - King Of The Tabletop

Each player controls a kingdom made up of land tiles of different terrains (mountains, forest, etc), castles, settlements, and people and creatures.
The object of the game is to have a certain amount of prestige, judged based on the size of one's kingdom, treasury, and the number of special heroic characters inhabiting the kingdom, as well as having a Grand Muniment (very large castle).
This game was originally published in Dragon #77. Errata appeared in Dragon #78.<7br>

#3 - Dungeon In A Tin

Dungeon in a Tin is a solo or cooperative dungeon-hack. Players descend into a dungeon randomly laid-out from a stack of tiles, fighting through the orc and goblin hordes to rescue the kidnapped maiden and collect treasure and glory.Each player takes turns to move through the dungeon one tile at a time, laying new tiles as unexplored areas are entered; every time a player enters a room, special monster dice are rolled to determine the enemies faced and the potential loot to be found. When a monster attacks, a die is rolled to determine the style of their attack; the player then chooses a card from his hand to counter with, each card being strong against some kinds of attack and weak against others.

#2 - Conquest Of The Skies

Conquest of the Skies is a light 4X in which 2-3 players compete to gather sufficient quantities of ore before anyone else. Players will explore the abandoned archipelago, research and develop new technologies, manoeuvre airships and giant warships into combat, harvest the meagre supplies of food to keep their people alive and try to be the first to obtain enough telonite ore, by fair means or foul.
