Welkin

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are dreaming about evading in the islands? To travel above the sky and further than the horizon? Be glad as you now are a celestial construction manager, architect of the sky! Collect animal and plant ressources, assemble them and add a little life spirit: congratulations! You just built an island in the sky!

The aim of the game is to win the most gold by crafting and selling those famous floating islands. Each turn, the players/architects can either select a new island creation contract, produce resources amongst the 5 existing types, or allocate these resources on their contracts to craft them. Players have limited spaces to store these contracts and resources, so they’ll have to juggle with their production line to complete their objectives in an optimized manner!

As soon as a contract is fulfilled, it is immediately sold and its creator receives gold depending on the resources used for its creation… but their value isn’t fixed and depends on the current market! Is it better to get one’s rewards immediately, or to manipulate the resources’ values for a greater reward later…?

Once there’s no more contracts available, the game ends. The architect who amassed the most gold will get their place amongst the stars!

Cartographers (A Roll Player Tale)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Queen Gimnax has ordered the reclamation of the northern lands. As a cartographer in her service, you are sent to map this territory, claiming it for the Kingdom of Nalos. Through official edicts, the queen announces which lands she prizes most, and you will increase your reputation by meeting her demands. But you are not alone in this wilderness. The Dragul contest your claims with their outposts, so you must draw your lines carefully to reduce their influence. Reclaim the greatest share of the queen’s desired lands and you will be declared the greatest cartographer in the kingdom.

In Cartographers, players compete to earn the most reputation stars by the time four seasons have passed. Each season, players draw on their map sheets and earn reputation by carrying out the queen’s edicts before the season is over. The player with the most reputation stars at the end of winter wins!

Thieves Den

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Thieves Den, set in the world of 10 Minute Heist: The Wizard’s Tower, the players are master thieves who send their hirelings out into the city to nab the choicest treasures, then sell those ill-gotten gains to the underworld fences to increase the master thief’s reputation. Certain treasures can also be bartered to Alazar, the wizard, for special powers.

Thieves Den is played over three rounds. In each round, each player drafts three location cards as potential targets for their thieving. All of these locations are public knowledge, and in the next phase the players take turns sending their minions to the locations to score the loot. You can send your thieves to any of the locations, but if you send them to another player’s location, that player may also get a prize, sometimes extra treasure, sometimes more thieves. During this phase, players can also send thieves to carry special assortments of treasures to one of the fences, gaining that player reputation points. Bonus reputation points can also be earned by building relationships with specific fences.

After three rounds, the player with the highest reputation is the new crime lord of the town.

Mental Blocks

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ready, set, Puzzle!

Mental Blocks is the frenetic, nail biting 3D puzzle game you will never want to put up.  Players must work together to solve 3d puzzles varying from entry level to hardcore head-scratchers before time runs out!  Each player has their own secret perspective to the puzzle, but there’s a catch!

Every person has a restriction: some players can only touch certain blocks, some can only touch certain shapes, some cannot speak.  This leads to delectable disarray as player scurry to solve each puzzle in real-time to graduate to the next puzzle – each ramping in difficulty as you proceed.

Mental Blocks features two different modes (Family or Challenge) to fit everyone’s tastes!

Conspiracy: The Solomon Gambit

 

 

 

 

 

 

The briefcase is out in the open, and six freelance agents are in the field.

In Conspiracy: The Solomon Gambit, a restoration of the 1973 classic game conspiracy, players vie for control of the agents by secretly paying them off and using them to move the briefcase across Europe, trying to get it to their HQ. But other players can challenge and stop an agent from moving if they have paid more than you — and for the right price they can even assassinate another agent.

In addition to a slick new look, this restored edition offers two new twists on the original gameplay. First, each agent has a unique ability that lets them move an agent or the briefcase for free. Second, an alternate win condition eliminates stalling and potential stalemates. If no one wins within a certain number of turns, Dr. Solomon can end the game immediately, and whoever has paid off the most to him wins the game. However, if you pay off too much to Dr. Solomon early in the game, that can leave you with little control over the other agents, forcing you to strike a tricky balance between immediate and long-term goals.

It: Evil Below

 

 

 

 

 

 

In USAopoly’s new IT: Evil Below board game, you and up to six of your friends will take on the roles of the Losers’ Club in an attempt to stop Pennywise from terrorizing the town of Derry. Each character has specialized abilities, and working together is crucial – if even one player dies, Pennywise wins.

Team 3 (Green & Pink)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three monkeys have started a construction company, and the building blueprints are coming in quick! Now the monkeys have to work together to complete their blueprints before time runs out.

The game of TEAM3 is played in teams of three players, with each player taking on the role of one of the three monkeys: the monkey who can’t speak, the monkey who can’t see, or the monkey in the middle.

• The monkey who can’t speak is the only one who can see the the blueprint card with the outline of the structure that their team must build, but they are not allowed to talk. They can communicate only in gestures.

• The monkey in the middle must interpret the gestures of the monkey who can’t speak and relay them to the monkey who can’t see so that they can build the structure.

• The monkey who can’t see is the only one who can touch the pieces, but they must play the game with their eyes closed. They are responsible for building the structure, based on the directions given to them by the monkey in the middle.

Each version of TEAM3 comes with a different set of blueprints and a mini expansion.

For years the isolated isle served as a haunt for pirates and smugglers looking to hide their ill-gotten gains. But before that, legend has that the Isle was home to a race of savage, sea-dwelling creatures that enslaved other races. Somewhere on the Isle, it is said, is their hidden temple. Such tales have not always been believed, but recently sailors have seen unusual purple lights in the sky above the Isle. Something is happening, and those with long memories fear that evil is afoot.

Walls of York

 

 

 

 

 

 

The city of York is being built. Many buildings have already been built, but without a protective outer wall to defend against the Viking raids, the city is bound for failure. The king has called together his best architects to design defensive walls for the city, but only one design will be used. That architect will be hailed as the greatest architect in all the land.

In Walls of York, players must use the plastic wall pieces to construct a defensive barrier around the buildings on their city map. Each turn, a player rolls the building die, which dictates which types of walls are to be used. Players must enclose their city, containing the required buildings from the King’s decree — but players must beware for the Vikings will come and lay waste at the end of the first age, forcing players to build anew in the second age. The player with the most coins at the end of the second age wins.

You thought that the final curtain had closed on your dealings with The King in Yellow.

Cthulhu The Great Old One: Deluxe Edition

 

 

 

 

 

Cthulhu: The Great Old One (Deluxe Edition) is a quick-play card game based around the characters and mythology of the writings of H.P. Lovecraft.

In Cthulhu: The Great Old One (Deluxe), each player takes their turn in order; first drawing, then stealing, then recruiting cards, and finally playing any Pairs they might hold, as well as any one Horror or Cultist card.

Matched Pairs give 2 victory points, Linked Pairs give 1 victory point, as does any played Horror cards.

Once any player completes their 7th pair, the game ends and players count up their victory points.

If any player holds the Great Old One card, they lose the game regardless of points. However, if a player holds the Great Old One and has already played the Cultist card in their play area, they win! Otherwise, the player with the most victory points wins!

With the Horror cards and game mechanics, there are a lot of fun strategies to keep the fast-paced action going, but there still remains a luck element as well to help give less experienced players a fighting chance against players who are more familiar with game possibilities.

The Deluxe version is basically a whole new game drawing inspiration from the original, but re-implementing the system with new cards, new card types, new turn style and play mechanics, and updated card looks and text.

Hako Onna

 

 

 

 

 

Now available in English from WizKids, the Hit Japanese Game of Supernatural Horror, Hako Onna, is a game of horror hide-and-seek. One player plays the “Hako Onna” (the Woman in the Box), and the rest are “Visitors”, who are trying to escape from the mansion. As Visitors, you’ll try not to make noise as you search the shadowy rooms of the mansion for items to protect yourself, for information, and for a way to escape what you do not see, but know is there. But if you stumble upon the Hako Onna, you’re dead. Players who discover the Hako Onna become a Hakobito, one of her servants, and wake up with her to move throughout the house.

During most of Hako Onna’s turn, the human players must keep their eyes closed so they cannot see where she moves to or what action she has done. The game also features a unique optional dexterity element that adds to the game’s overall tension and dread. Before a visitor can take their turn, they need to avoid making noise by stacking a small disc on top the previous ones; if the tower collapses, they’ve made noise and it instantly becomes Hako Onna’s turn.

Since its original publication in Japanese, Hako Onna has reached its fourth edition, and has been republished in English by WizKids. The English edition features all-new cards for players to use as they experience the thrilling horror of this thematically-rich game.

Black Angel

 

 

 

 

 

Humanity, through its irresponsible behavior, has exhausted the natural resources of Earth, making it almost uninhabitable. In a burst of lucidity, pressed by the irreversible degradation of your planet, the great nations are forced to put aside their differences and share their knowledge in order to create the most vast spacecraft ever constructed. Thus, the BLACK ANGEL project is launched.

The Black Angel, the first intergalactic frigate in history, must transport the genetic heritage of humanity beyond known worlds, over a journey that is likely to last several thousand years. Her crew will be composed of only robots. Because no nation is willing to trust creation of the AI (artificial intelligence) that will control this crew to any other nation, a compromise is found: The Black Angel will be co-managed by several AIs, and the utility of each decision will be evaluated in VP (Validation Process).

At the completion of this long and perilous voyage, when a new inhabitable planet has been reached, the AI that has earned the most VP will be entrusted with reawakening Humanity, and overseeing its new start….

All the reports are in agreement: The Black Angel is approaching Spes, a planet with the highest probability for habitability by the human species. Take advantage of our approach to maintain the good relations you have gradually woven with the benevolent Alien species populating the galaxy, and watch out for the dreaded Ravagers, who would do anything to prevent you from reaching Spes.

Stellium

 

 

 

 

 

Stellium is a game in which players are architects of the universe just after its creation. They have to draw celestial bodies from a bag (represented by marbles with different textures, so they can try to pick the one they are looking for) and place them on the universe to complete contracts. Each type of celestial body has an effect on the universe, e.g., the comet takes the place of another one and “pushes them in line”.

The cyborg dog to your right is checking and rechecking her enhancements. Your hand rests on the blaster at your hip as you hear the battering ram powering up again. As it hits, the sound of metal rending sends the rest of your crew to high alert. But you smile. This is going to be fun.. 

In Teens in Space, you’ll venture into the cosmos for adventure and profit. Along the way your crew’s bonds will be tested, your ship will malfunction, and you’ll probably get shot a few times. But that’s all in a day’s work for Teens in Space!

Over the Edge RPG: Core Rulebook

 

 

 

 

 

At the heart of Over the Edge third edition are the nine districts of the Edge, each with a unique flavor, colorful characters, memorable locales, and a mélange of bizarrity ruled over by a patchwork of cabals openly tolerated or empowered by the all-powerful anarchic State. Behind this public face of the city, however, there is a secret world of conspiratorial factions, strange fringe abilities, cutting edge technology, and cross-reality incursions.

The result is a crazed sandbox setting which is infinitely receptive to whatever offbeat and outlandish ideas the players and gamemaster choose to pour into it. Over the Edge adds a final dash of madness with the “GM’s Secret Bag of Tricks,” a dozen fringe concepts and a gaggle of colorful characters, each of which can completely transform your version of the Edge or serve as the nucleus around which your entire campaign will form.

Over the Edge features:

• Fast, dramatic character creation that’s laser-focused on creating dynamic, active characters. Player-defined traits quickly establish what characters can do, and each PC’s Trouble & Question force characters into personal crucibles that drive story.
• A simple 2d6 resolution mechanic uses a lightning-fast comparison of level and difficulty to generate rerolls instead of managing modifiers through addition and subtraction.
• Inject shocking, unexpected outcomes into the narrative through good twists, bad twists, and “twist ties.”
• Three strikes and you’re dead. But unless you’re at risk of your third strike, you can safely take big risks, electrifying gameplay with big, exciting moments.

Brain Waves: Wise Whale, Astute Goose & Brilliant Boar

 

 

 

 

 

In Brainwaves: The Wise Whale, players lay nine cards showing different colorful sea creatures face down after trying to memorize which creatures are on which cards. During a player’s turn, they reveal a new card from the deck. Then, they must reveal a card that matches either the creature or the color on this new card. If they do, they claim this card, and then lay out a new card face down in its place. Whoever collects the most cards wins.

In Brainwaves: The Astute Goose, players must identify a burglar hiding in a crowd. What did the culprit look like? What color were their clothes? And what animal accomplices did they have with them? Suspect cards are assigned a number, from one to six. Players look at these cards, then turn them face down. On a turn, a player rolls the two dice: one showing a number, the other a characteristic of a burglar card. If the player can identify the correct item on the correct burglar card, they claim that card as a reward, and then put a new card in its place. Whoever collects the most cards wins.

In Brainwaves: The Brilliant Boar, each player takes cards showing different animal portraits on their reverse sides into their hand. They can look at the cards briefly when they draw them, but then must face the cards away from them. On a player’s turn, they can either take the top card from the deck into their hand or play one of their cards onto the table, attempting to make as many pairs as possible from the card just played and those already face up on the table. Whoever collects the most cards wins.

Among the many races that live close to the Talon Coast, none can match the spiritual strength, resilience, and stubbornness of a dwarf. Out of all his brothers, Skeld became a legend thanks to his savage spirit, always ready to face the hardest battles, headless of the dangers. Skeld can be played as either a Slayer or a Berserker.

Edge of Darkness

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edge of Darkness is the third Card Crafting Game from Alderac Entertainment Group designed by John D. Clair. Edge of Darknesscombines Card Crafting, Worker Placement, shared deck-building, and a whole new Threat Challenge system in a medium-weight euro-style board game of 60 to 120 minutes for 1 to 4 players.

Players are the heads of powerful guilds in the City. Each Guild vies with the others to become the leaders of the City in a desperate struggle against great evil. But the Guilds must also work together because the dangers facing the city can harm them all.

The Guilds exert their control in the city by sending agents to various locations where they can generate resources or abilities and enable the Guild to take actions. Guilds grow in power as they maneuver their agents and loyalists into positions of importance in the districts and organizations of the City. Over time the Guilds can seek to create synergies between the places their agents have been assigned and the tendrils of influence the Guilds have connected to the City’s infrastructure.

To win a Guild must have the most power in the city when the game ends. Power is gained having the allegiance of important citizens and nobles, by accumulating wealth, and by undertaking actions beneficial to the City such as defending it from external and internal threats.

Fanfare has a specially delivered limited quantity which comes bundled with the Sands of Dunestar Expansion and Metal Coins!

Teens in Space RPG

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sound of the photon-powered battering ram echoes in your ship. Your Sollemnean pilot informs you that the doors have an 83.4% chance of breaking with the next hit. The cyborg dog to your right is checking and rechecking her enhancements. Your hand rests on the blaster at your hip as you hear the battering ram powering up again. As it hits, the sound of metal rending sends the rest of your crew to high alert. But you smile. This is going to be fun!

In the Teens in Space RPG, player characters will take on the roles of adolescents of a variety of species at the age of nearly full maturity—closing near their full physical and intellectual potential but lacking experience and wisdom. You’ll travel the stars in a customized starship of your own design, and through your adventures, you may discover many things about the galaxy you inhabit—as well as about yourself at this formative stage just before adulthood. This 122-page full-color book is optimized for a crew of 2–6 players and a dedicated storyteller at the helm.

Set a Watch

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Kingdom is in grave danger. Powerful enemies are conspiring to resurrect the vile and powerful Unhallowed that your party has just slain. Now you, the mighty adventurers of the land, must visit these summoning locations and defeat the hordes of creatures behind this evil plot. It falls to four mighty adventurers, each of whom has a unique set of skills, to band together once more to vanquish this evil before the Unhallowed consume the world in darkness.

In Set a Watch, a cooperative game for 1-4 players, you must clear out nine locations to stop the acolytes from breaking the seals holding back the evil Unhallowed. Every round you will visit a new location and pick an adventurer to rest and take camp actions. The rest of the party will take watch and battle a line of monsters trying to make their way into camp using your dice and unique character abilities. Manipulating the creature line is essential to solving each round’s combat puzzle. It is a battle to stay alive and keep the campfire burning! Use your wits and skill to fight for the light…or all will perish in the darkness.

The Crusoe Crew

 

 

 

 

 

 

In The Crusoe Crew (a.k.a. Baiam or Kuala), you embody a character in an immersive story in which your choices guide your progress. You have a character sheet akin to those used in role-playing games that tracks your possessions, your special abilities, your coins, and your victory points. In general, gameplay consists in following the comic’s panels — which contain clues, riddles and traps — and making choices about where to go and what to do, while using your visual perception to collect clues and be smart enough to resolve the riddles. As in any game, you can lose — sometimes really badly!

What’s different with this story compared to other Graphic Novel Adventure books is that The Crusoe Crew is for 1-4 players, and each player has their own book, embodying a particular character with special powers. Work together with others (albeit separately) to progress on islands full of adventures and brain twisters!

Invisible Sun RPG: Vislae Kit

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Black Cube contains everything a full gaming group needs to play a complete Invisible Sun narrative, including all the materials for the players as well as GM. But sometimes the players want their own stuff. And although the Black Cube contains multiple character tomes, grimoires, and other consumable components, GMs and players alike may want additional copies.

The Vislae Kit is a player companion to the Invisible Sun game, containing all the stuff a single player may want. The custom Invisible Sun dice, a Sooth Deck, a grimoire pad, character tomes for each order, tokens, and more come in a very cool box that is practically a collector’s item in its own right. It’s a great buy for players who want their own game materials, or groups that want to keep their Black Cube in pristine condition.
