With the Covid lock down on travel, we can only dream of vacations and a life elsewhere. Come dream with us at #Lefko. 1. Turkey - ISTANBUL
Travel to the Middle East and explore the beauty of ancient Turkey, right on your table top. In #Istanbul, you are a merchant and work the markets for maximum reward. You have runners/ workers under you who will make your job more productive and your strategy of what items to purchase in the market will determine if you are the richest merchant at the end. It is all about the rubies you collect, so make sure you hoard the rubies and grab them as fast as you can.

3. France - THE CASTLES OF BURGUNDY
Paris is one of the most desirable destination in France. However, it is also crowded with tourists, during non-Covid times. In #TheCastlesOfBurgundy, we bring you back a little in history to beautiful and quaint Burgundy, not just as any commoner but as a Prince! Take note, there are also other princes there and everyone is fighting to be the PRINCE of all Princes. You bid and draft for ships, goods, buildings to build a thriving estate. As royalty, you have workers but sometimes you need more and every resource comes with a different benefit. Plan your estate well and you'll reap the rewards every Prince can only dream of. Edge out the other Princes and be the true Castle Builder of Burgundy.

4. Ancestral - STONE AGE
Maybe some of us yearn for historical times, all the way back to #StoneAge, wondering how our ancestors lived.
You and your tribe members, trade and build towards new levels of civilisation... one day leading to our modern world.
It is a back breaking life as we engage in back breaking work of collecting wood, washing gold and breaking stone. Competition was already rife even then as tribes fight for food and ensure the survival of their peoples. On the flip side of the physical toil, there was surely no rampant obesity. Which tribe would be king of the Stone Age?
