Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader are dead. The Empire has been toppled by the triumphant Rebel Alliance, and the New Republic is ascendant. But the struggle against the dark side and the Sith Order is not over. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and their faithful comrades have had little time to savor victory before being called on to defend the newly liberated galaxy.

Powerful remnants of the vanquished Empire, hungry for retaliation, are still at large, committing acts of piracy, terrorism, and wholesale slaughter against the worlds of the fledgling New Republic. The most deadly of these, a ruthless legion of black-armored Stormtroopers, do the brutal bidding of the newly risen warlord Shadowspawn. Striking from a strategically advantageous base on the planet Mindor, they are waging a campaign of plunder and destruction, demolishing order and security across the galaxy–and breeding fears of an Imperial resurgence. Another reign of darkness beneath the boot-heel of Sith despotism is something General Luke Skywalker cannot, and will not, risk.

Mobilizing the ace fighters of Rogue Squadron–along with the trusty Chewbacca, See-Threepio, and Artoo-Detoo–Luke, Han, and Leia set out to take the battle to the enemy and neutralize the threat before it’s too late. But their imminent attack on Mindor will be playing directly into the hands of their cunning new adversary. Lord Shadowspawn is no freshly anointed Sith Chieftain but in fact a vicious former Imperial Intelligence officer–and Prophet of the Dark Side. The Emperor’s death has paved the way for Shadowspawn’s return from exile in the Outer Rim, andmastery of ancient Sith knowledge and modern technology has given him the capability to mount the ultimate power play for galaxy wide dominion. Dark prophecy has foretold that only one obstacle stands in his way, and he is ready–even eager–for the confrontation.

All the classic heroes, all the explosive action and adventure, all the unparalleled excitement of Star Wars come breathlessly alive as the adventures of Luke Skywalker continue.

Cerebria is a deep, objective-driven area control game for 1-4 players, where Bliss and Gloom, the two sides of the human personality, compete to influence the Inside World’s developing Identity.

Players play in teams, taking on the roles of Spirits of Bliss or Gloom. Using point-to-point movement and resource management, Spirits invoke and interact with Emotion cards to spread their influence, and control various areas and aspects of Cerebria.

The game is objective-driven - each team has their own hidden objective, as well as a contested common one. At certain points of the game, players may trigger Revelations: climatic scoring events when the objectives are evaluated.

As a result, the teams may contribute to the development of Cerebria’s Identity, built as a tower in the middle of the game board. The game typically lasts for six Revelations - in the end, the team with the most influence over Cerebria’s final Identity wins the game.

The game itself is language independent with printed English rules and available digital rules in various other languages.

Cerebria - the Card Game is a quick, smart and accessible card game of set collection for 2-5 players, set in the same universe as Cerebria -The Board Game.

Cerebria - the Card Game was created as a quick and easy-to-learn alternative (or introduction) to the main game. Although it targets a more casual audience, it has the deep and involved gameplay and high replayability that one would expect from a Mindclash game.

The card game’s core mechanism is set collection - players build their Mindsets from a dynamically changing pool of Emotion cards. Each Emotion can host Bliss or Gloom Identity fragments that can either be spent to activate the Emotion’s ability to interact with other players’ cards, or scored during a Revelation. A player wins by scoring 8 Fragments of a single type, or 5 of both types throughout the game.

The game itself is language independent with printed English rules and available digital rules in various other languages.

Forces of Balance, Cerebria’s zero-day expansion, extends the game to 5-6 players with a third side joining the struggle to shape Cerebria’s Identity.

The Balance side introduces two new Spirits, Reason and Intuition (each with their own abilities and Spirit boards), and various new Emotion cards. On top of extending the maximum player count, the Balance side also encourages a new playstyle: their purpose is to create ties in the scoring objectives between Bliss and Gloom, ensuring Cerebria’s equilibrium. This adds an exciting new meta aspect to the game: Balance may temporarily aid Bliss or Gloom, but on a whim, they can turn from ally into adversary.

The Forces of Balance expansion also introduces 10 highly detailed, 55 mm tall Spirit miniatures: two for Balance, and eight for the original Bliss and Gloom Spirits.

The game itself is language independent with printed English rules and available digital rules in various other languages.

Capture the Throne!

"The New Ancient Game" from Mindspan Labs, ZoxSo is a fast-paced mix of fierce placement and clash of forces for two players, ages 10 to 99.

To win a game of ZoxSo you must Capture the Throne; and once you've played you'll realize that it's all about... all or nothing!

In the first phase of the game, players alternate placing pieces on the board, simultaneously strengthening their own positions while cutting into their opponent's plans. In the second phase, players maneuver their forces: moving around the board, capturing, blocking, and threatening their opponent's pieces -- with the goal of either getting their own Xing onto the Golden Throne in the center of the board, or alternatively, capturing their opponent's Xing.

This game set's contents:
* One full-color 20" x 20" board
* twenty colored, double-sided 1.5" diameter plastic game-pieces (ten per player)
* one complete full-color rules pamphlet with clear diagrams and descriptions
* a high-quality compact set-up box for easy storage and transport. p> One player's pieces are dark and the other player's pieces are light (specific color of the dark pieces vary from set to set). The game set features a compact, heavy duty six-panel tri-fold game board.

Oh, we should warn you: The games are very fast, incredibly explosive, and all decisive!

Yes, there are no draws in ZoxSo. So, do you think that you have what it will take to become a ZoxSo master?
