The Franchise Hockey Manager series returns for its 11th version in 2024-25, with new additions that will further expand on the most authentic hockey strategy gaming experience you can find.

Choose one of dozens of leagues around the world and select a team to guide to glory, including a chance at the ultimate prize: FHM11 is licensed by the NHL®, allowing you to take the reins of your favorite franchise to capture the Stanley Cup®. Or, take control of a national team and try for international supremacy.

You can also choose a historical game, where you can begin in any year in NHL® history, play in a legendary international tournament, or (new this year) play in a historical minor league.

If you’d like to create your own customized league, you can do that, and FHM11 brings international play to that mode as well. If you’ve been playing FHM10 and can’t bear to part with your team, import the save into FHM11 and carry on with the addition of FHM11’s new features.

However you choose to play, you have control of your team and can oversee finances, select strategies, hire your staff, make trades, sign free agents, and draft the newest generation of stars as you try to build a championship team – and then make it into a dynasty!

Game Features

• International play has been added to custom games; the makeup of the international tournaments will adapt to the way you’ve set up your custom league(s)
• Playable minor league hockey has been added to historical mode, starting with the full history (including all players) of the American Hockey League from 1940 to the present
• Many improvements have been made to the AI trading behaviour; the AI will now draw from a bigger library of potential trade models, and some loopholes in the existing trading logic have been closed
• Similarly, the transfer system AI in Europe has also had some significant improvements of the same type the trading AI received
• The NHL’s new 4Nations Faceoff Tournament has been added to modern games
• Owner goals have been added: your owner will ask you to make changes to your team; failing to comply may put your job in jeopardy, but keeping the owner happy will help you stay employed
• Additionally, job security mechanics have undergone a major revision and should feel more realistic now
• Development tracking has been added for your players, so you can see how they’re progressing
• Coaches can now have specific tactical preferences and will be more effective when employing their preferred tactic(s) (and they’ll use them more often)
• Major adjustments have been made to the pool of younger players in the database at the start of the game, to fix the growing issue of there being too many NHL-caliber young players in the early years of the game
• Long-term player generation has also been adjusted to improve the top end quality of new prospects; combined with the above database change, the overall talent level should be maintained at a much smoother level over the course of the game
• We’ve improved the 2D engine’s play execution logic to build upon the play calling improvements in the previous two versions, so teams tend to stick with their set play execution longer, and also made a major change to the passing mechanics to allow for more use of indirect passing
• New league reports, including (among other things) a Demographics report for the league and a review of Draft Sleepers/Busts from past drafts
• The AI’s roster management in the period between the playoffs and the start of a new year has been improved, particularly in how it grasps the roster changes that will happen on July 1 due to things like losing free agents
• Playoff series will now get a preview in the news
• As always, complete team and player updates for the new 2024-25 season, as well as smaller changes like a mid-season award candidate preview and “Exceptional” status in the Major Junior leagues, new interface additions, and many other improvements!

Have you ever been to the Arctic? Do you want to open a motel in the Arctic? With the company of aurora, blizzards, polar days and nights, primeval forests, and wild animals, can you turn a run-down motel into a landmark in the Arctic?

The Arctic has always been a mysterious place. Running a motel in the Arctic is also a rare experience. Through the Arctic Motel Simulator, we not only want to simulate the climate and changeable weather of the Arctic, but also want to bring an Arctic-style motel management experience.

Game Features

• Expand Your Territory – The Arctic is a vast and sparsely populated place. In the game, you will be able to expand the territory of the motel in the primeval forest.
• Expand Your Business – It is not easy to find a motel in the Arctic. Motels there often provide many different types of services. In addition to providing various types of rooms for rent, shops selling Arctic specialties and restaurants offering Arctic cuisine can also earn you a lot of money. There are more, including laundries and other businesses waiting for you to discover.
• Room Types – We have prepared eight room types for players to discover. Different room types have their own advantages, and players can choose freely according to their preferences.
• Four Seasons Gameplay – Everyone knows that the winter in the Arctic is very cold, but the Arctic still has its own unique four seasons. We simulate the weather and temperature of the four seasons in the Arctic, as well as their corresponding gameplay, such as: controlling room humidity in summer and managing room temperature in winter, RVs that can be rented in spring, summer and autumn, and Arctic igloos in winter.
• Guns and Hunting – There are many wild animals in the Arctic, so legal hunting is allowed in many places. In the game, players can hunt legally in the winter hunting season. There are also several types of guns available in the game, and players can choose their favorite guns for hunting. Winter Arctic specialty recipes are also one of the purposes of hunting.
• Employees – Expanding a business can never rely on just one person. In the game, players can hire employees and special agents to expand the business of the motel. Players can train employees and arrange their work according to different focuses.
• Events and Wanted Criminals – The game is full of various random events, such as traveler partners investigating cheating, police patrolling your motel, health inspections, stranger events, etc. And due to insufficient police presence in the Arctic, the police also need your help in arresting wanted criminals.

Mind Over Magic is a colony simulation game developed by Sparkypants and published by Klei Publishing.

Build and optimize a magic school while keeping powerful mages alive and inspired. Prepare them to explore the horrors of the Underschool, a deadly subterranean gauntlet. Study lost arcana, grow exotic plants, brew potions, and raise undead servants. But don’t forget to stop the deadly fog from consuming everything in its path.

Game Features

• Conjure Your Own Magic School – Build the ultimate magic school, brick by brick. Design every room to fit your vision. Unlock new furniture, wallpaper, lighting, and decorations to personalize every detail. Experiment with layouts to discover hidden efficiency bonuses and create the perfect balance of design and function.
• Explore the Deadly Underschool – Beneath your school lies a mysterious labyrinth filled with dark secrets, deadly magic, and ghastly creatures. The deeper you explore, the greater the rewards—but danger doesn’t always stay underground.
• Raise Magical Beasts & Unlock Their Potential – Research and discover mystical beasts to serve your school and unlock powerful new resources. These creatures require food, affection, and magical care to grow into valuable allies, providing rare materials for crafting and construction. If you’re truly ambitious, tackle the challenge of raising a dragon to aid your school. Dragons demand specialized students to become caretakers, but in return, they grant your mages the ability to embark on daring quests beyond the school walls—uncovering secrets, gaining unique powers, and shaping the future of your academy.
• Let Magic Do the Heavy Lifting – Bend the arcane to your will. Practitioners of Dark magic animate undead helpers known as Quilted—specialized constructs that gather resources, tend to plants, repair damage to your school, and mine valuable materials. Make the most of your day by reducing travel time in your ever-growing campus with the power of flight. Strategically place broom racks to make traversal a breeze.
• A Mage’s Growth is in Your Hands – Enhance your students abilities with powerful gear, such as potions, relics, and increasingly powerful wands, each granting distinct magical advantages. Customize their daily schedules and assign teachers to shape their magical growth. Magic isn’t just for combat—what your students learn and the tools they wield also determine how effectively they contribute to your school’s daily operations. Build a curriculum that fosters the ability to both survive and thrive.
• Teach And Master Magic – Shape the future of magic by customizing your students’ education. Apprenticed students can multiclass to wield a diverse array of spells, or strive towards single discipline mastery to unlock devastating ultimate abilities, powerful enough to face the dangers of the Nexus. Reality is tenuous in the Nexus, a fractured realm of pure magic deep beneath the school. Your mages will need every advantage to battle powerful enemies, reconstitute its crumbling fragments, and break the curse for good. Train wisely, for only the most skilled mages can withstand the challenges that await beyond the veil.
