Uberplay introduced a number of new games in 2004. Among them:

Alhambra (won German Game of the Year last year): Help with the 1278 construction of the Spanish landmark. The longest wall wins points as does the most building tiles. Ages 8 and up.

Metro: It's Paris 1898 and you're building metro lines. But do you work on your line or throw obstacles in the way of your neighbor? Ages 8 and up.

Sunken City: Use magic powers to raise portions of a city from deep waters and try to collect treasure along the way. Ages 8 and up.

The Bridges of Shangri-La: Masters of competing mountain groups train their folk and send them across bridges to form alliances and control villages. Ages 10 and up.

Shakespeare, The Bard Game: Become an Elizabethan theatre entrepreneur by acquiring scripts, putting on plays and finding money for backing. Learn more about the great bard along the way. Ages 12 and up.

Oh, Pharaoh!: A card game in which great pyramids are built — the bigger the better. But watch out for the thieves. Ages 10 and up.

Spy: A card game in which spies deliver secret documents to different continents. Age 10 and up.

Relationship Tightrope: A light-hearted take on the battle of the sexes aimed at comic foibles of men and women. Stay balanced on the tightrope to win. Ages 8 and up.
