Fight other players and prove your skills in local multiplayer mode. Description In Lehnsherr you create your own viking village in a turn-based strategy game. You have to keep an eye on your resources as well as on your opponents. At the beginning you have to get the desired resources as fast as possible. Because your vikings are not alone. Depending on the level, there are several enemies who claim this area just like you do. Therefore decide which of your watchtowers should be equipped with soldiers. These are necessary to defend your area or to attack your opponent and weaken him sensitively. But your opponents are not the only problem, you also have to cope with strokes of fate like floods or famines. New buildings and military abilities can also be researched in the town library. Lehnsherr can be played alone against up to 3 computer opponents. You can also play against up to 4 human players on a single device (local multiplayer mode). In the brand new "Ancestor Stone" mode, 7 Ancestor Stones are scattered on each map. The goal of the game mode is to occupy 5 stones. A stone is considered occupied if you manage to build a military building on the stone without your opponent having one there. If more than one player has a building there, it is considered unoccupied and you have to fight for the stone.

In Reef Encounter the aim is to grow the largest and strongest corals on the reef and then to feed these to your parrotfish in the brief time available. Points are awarded at the end of the game for the number and type of polyps that your parrotfish has consumed. Each turn new coral larvae drift into the game. Larva cubes allow players to play their polyp tiles onto the boards and create new and larger corals. Shrimps will then colonize these corals and protect the corals from attack. A coral consists of one or more connected polyp tiles. Corals that are two or more polyps in size may attack other weaker types of coral. Polyps from a defeated coral can be recycled as new polyps or alternatively used to obtain alga cylinders or larva cubes. It is the alga cylinders, which will strengthen some types of corals relative to the other types. An alga cylinder can also fix the hierarchy between two particular types of coral for the remainder of the game. Reef Encounter will usually end once the hierarchy of all the corals is established or once one player's parrotfish has consumed four corals.
