Assume the role of an abolitionist during the Age of Enlightenment. Playing it in a cooperative competitive mode we could all make slavery illegal in the world.
In Molly House, players take the roles of the gender-defying mollies of early eighteenth century London. Throw grand masquerades and cruise back alleys while evading moralistic constables who seek to destroy your community. Be careful, there may even be informers in your midst!
Over the course of an hour, players will draft hands of vice cards representing the different gestures, desires, and encounters that were frowned upon by the Society for the Reformation of Manners, a citizen group that sought to stamp out any behavior it deemed deviant in late 17th and early 18th century London. These cards allow players to host festivities with the help of their fellow mollies and create joy. But, those same cards can also lead players to be arrested and to the ultimate ruin of the molly house.
As players encounter the Society’s enforcers, they will often have to pay bribes or may be coerced into becoming informers for the Society. Informers must try desperately to undermine the community around Mother Clap’s Molly House without being discovered by their fellow mollies.
Concordia Venus is a peaceful strategy game of economic development in Ancient Rome. Colonists are sent out to settle down in cities that produce bricks, food, tools, wine, and cloth. Each player starts with an identical set of playing cards and acquires more cards during the game. These cards allow a player to choose actions during the game and are also worth victory points. Concordia is a medium-weight strategy game that requires advance planning and consideration of your opponent's moves.

Reiner Knizia's most famous auction game, where players bid for sets of Egyptian artifacts and societal resources in order to attain the highest score over three epochs. Each player draws tiles in sequence until a red "Ra" tile is drawn or a player "invokes Ra", signalling an auction. Use your 3 bidding tiles wisely, as you must take all tiles up for auction if you win and a new bidding tile for the next epoch.

Arcs is a sharp, tactical space opera game set in a dark yet silly universe. Players represent officials from a distant, decaying and neglectful Empire who are now free to vie for dominance whether through battle, gathering scarce resources or diplomatic intrigue.
This is one of the hottest games released last year. I've never played it, so I thought I'd take out the library copy and give it a try. I will read through the rules and/or watch a how-to-play video prior to our playthrough. If you are familiar with the game, you're welcome to teach it. If we're all beginners, we can figure it out together.
