Less than a week and we will travel to Essen. Time for us to add some more games to our Essen preview. This time it are three new games from American publisher Stronghold Games:

504 is a game that creates 504 different games out of one box. The game consists of nine modules. In each single game, you take three different modules from the nine available and assemble them in any order you like to create a new game.

Space Cadets: Away Missions is a cooperative, scenario-based, tactical action game for 1-6 players, which is set in the Golden Age of science fiction. In this game, the third standalone title in the Space Cadets franchise of cooperative/team space-themed games from Stronghold Games, players take on the roles of adventurous human spacemen who explore UFOs, acquire Alien technology and fight hostile extraterrestrials.

In The Golden Ages, you lead your civilizations through history. The game lasts four different eras, during which you develop technologies, create fine arts, erect buildings, and build wonders. You’ll send explorers to discover the continents, found cities in distant lands, and send your soldiers into battles.
