In Dune: House Secrets, players take on the roles of rebels who must solve a series of challenging missions with a finite amount of time and resources.

The second Chapter Pack in the King’s Landing cycle for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game Throughout your conquests in A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, you have journeyed to the farthest reaches of Westeros, following those vying for the Iron Throne through George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. But in the sixth cycle of the A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, the game steps beyond the page and into the world. In the King’s Landing cycle, you are no longer tied to a set time, but to a place—the capital of King's Landing. You have approached the grand city and stood before the walls that surround the pit of snakes. Now, you are invited to move past the gates and begin your exploration of the treacherous and majestic city within. City of Shadows As A Game of Thrones: The Card Game continues to progress in the King’s Landing cycle, you have the chance to lay new schemes with the continued exploration of the shadows keyword. In every corner of the city, the twisting streets and hidden alleys conceal dangers. Your cards in shadows act as almost a second hand, one protected from intrigue claim and reserve restrictions. There's no telling what traps you have hidden away until you are ready to spring them. But you are not the only one with their eye set on the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Threats gather in every corner of the realm, with a new set of events that lurk in the shadows. The Shadow of the South (City of Secrets, 36) lets House Martell steal a challenge icon from a character, while across the Narrow Sea, the Shadow of the East (City of Secrets, 34) gives House Targaryen the chance to destroy one of their opponent’s attachments. Even the Night’s Watch have grown impatient with the meaningless squabbles between Houses and Shadow of the Wall (City of Secrets, 26) lets you stand a character with one or fewer challenge icons. Each of these events bear a "—" in place of their gold cost, meaning that they can only be played from shadows. But each also has a condition under which you can return the event to your hand, giving you another chance to use its ability in the future. If there is a Scheme plot, like The Long Plan (Taking the Black, 16) revealed, Shadow of the South is returned to your hand, while a Targaryen player may wish to fill their plot deck with Summer cards, and the Night’s Watch waits for Winter plots to divide the weak from the worthy. No Surprises Beyond these events that lend each House a tailored advantage, City of Secrets also offers cards that interact with the shadows in new and powerful ways. City of Secrets introduces some characters (found throughout the King's Landing cycle) that can work around their shadow cost, allowing you to spring deadly traps even if you are low on funds. For example, the Red Keep Gaoler (City of Secrets, 27) has a shadow cost of four—but if you'd rather not pay, you can move two power from your faction card to a Baratheon character in order to put the goaler into play. Meanwhile, Cersei and the Lannisters can recall a non-Lannister Ally worth four or more gold to put The Regent's Guard (City of Secrets, 29) into play from shadows. But even those who don't wish to rely on the underhanded intrigues of King’s Landing find powerful new tools and allies in the City of Secrets. House Stark can ensure that there are No Surprises (City of Secrets, 22) for a round before sending out warriors like the hasty Smalljon Umber (City of Secrets, 21). But perhaps the best way to defeat your secretive enemies is by joining them, engaging in Shadow Politics (City of Shadows, 38). While the card itself can only be played from shadows, one of its greatest uses is to discard a card from the largely protected shadows. But even if your enemy proves a straightforward opponent, this card can still be a worthy addition as you purge five cards from an opponent’s discard pile, or look at your enemy’s hand, reading their plans and forming a counterstrike. Lies and Treachery King’s Landing is not a place for the weak of spirit. Do you have what it takes to stand amongst the plotting courtiers of the capital, or will you meet your end in the capital as so many have before you? Assemble your allies, plan your schemes, and prepare to navigate the City of Secrets!

A Genesys roleplaying supplement pack, designed to expand the content first introduced via the Secrets of the Crucible sourcebook! The Crucible is filled with strange and wondrous creatures, belonging to many disparate Houses. And if that inherent variety wasn’t enough, the introduction of mysterious dark æmber has welcomed in a flood of mutation, as once-familiar giants, thieves, demons, knights, and others become forever changed. Some rejoice in the changes, while others see them as heresy and fight to eradicate the dark æmber and its effects. Which side of the conflict will you take? Within this pack, you’ll find 40 oversized cards stuffed with information for players and Game Masters alike. You’ll encounter a brand-new playable species, rules for incorporating the mutative dark æmber into your own games, adventure builders, locations, and over 30 NPC adversaries to populate your adventures. If you’re planning to take your Genesys adventures to the Crucible, the Mutant Invasion! supplement pack brings even more of the diversity and wonder that makes the Mass Mutation set of KeyForge decks so compelling. New Horizons Await The Mutant Invasion! pack begins by introducing a new playable species to your games: the proximan. This species has been seen on the Crucible for at least several millennia and is thought to hail from the Alpha Centauri system. Proximans have a symmetrical, largely humanoid appearance, and evolved neuro-accelerant glands within their twin cranial protrusions, allowing proximans to quickly process sensory information and determine the best way to react when prey or deadlier predators are detected. While they are not as strong as other species due to their homeworld’s lower gravity, proximans are true survivors and not to be underestimated. If you’re a player who wants to excel at detecting and dealing with dangers, the proximan might be the perfect species for you! Of course, the bulk of this roleplaying supplement pack is devoted to over 30 NPCs that Game Masters can use to fill their adventures, drawing on the weird and wonderful creatures of the Crucible and the dark æmber mutations introduced by the Mass Mutation set for KeyForge. You and your fellow players may be out doing a job and discover that Bad Penny is after the same item as you. Or, you may find Fandangle the witch seeding dark æmber to cause mutations in the local wildlife. Your explorations may even lead you across a tribe of niffle apes, a niffle queen, or the gigantic, mutated Kong. These NPCs may work with the players, or they may stand in their way, but either way, they bring new life to the allies and adversaries on the Crucible. Finally, Game Masters will uncover a host of adventure seeds in this pack. An easy adventure builder takes Game Masters through a simple process of developing an adventure, from the hook, through the escalation, to the climax of the plot threads earlier established. As an added bonus, three location cards help Game Masters bring some of the most common locales on the Crucible to life with additional plot seeds, special rules, and examples! Mutate Your Adventures The onset of dark æmber is about to change the Crucible forever. Unlock the next chapter of your adventures with the Mutant Invasion! roleplaying supplement pack for Secrets of the Crucible
