A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players. Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes "boop." Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten next to it one space away. Line up 3 kittens in a row to graduate them into cats... and then, get 3 cats in a row to win. But that isn't easy with both you and your opponent constantly "booping" kittens around. It's like... herding cats! And now things just got boopier and spoopier with NEW Ghost Cats that float between spaces. And so scary, cats will leap right over each other to get away

Creative critters from the Mosaic Forest have gathered at the annual art festival being held at Gallery Grove. The famous Bianca Blanco (well, infamous really, but no one would dare say that within her considerable earshot) is curating a new show at the gallery and only the best pieces will earn the privilege of being displayed in her highly exclusive showcase gala. Do you have what it takes to stand under the critical eyes of Bianco Blanco or will your creative works fall flat? Let the judging begin! In this party-style game, 2 to 6 players draft multi-colored, animal-shaped, meeples to create the most eye-catching mosaics based on the theme chosen by the Curator for that turn. Players secretly receive ribbons from the Curator at the end of each turn, awarding them secret points. Once each player has had a turn as the Curator players flip over their ribbons and the player with the most points wins! 2–6 PlayersPlay Time: 15–30 MinAge: 15+

Säännöt valmistajan sivuilta. The updated and revised version of our award-winning, infamous game of backstabbing goodness. Without Teamwork, Youʼll Never Survive. Without Betrayal, Youʼll Never Win! Cutthroat Caverns, one of our most critically acclaimed titles, is a devious, semi-cooperative, emotionally-charged game of betrayal and “kill stealing” in a classic fantasy setting, where you decide how hard or light to strike to assure you land the killing blow. But mess with each other too much and the whole party will die, without a winner. This Anniversary Edition is a beautifully envisioned reboot, upgrading the art, materials and rules set - and is fully compatible with all 5 existing expansion games. Game Enhancements include: streamlined rules & keywords, a new Epic Finish mechanic, variable game lengths (30, 60 and 90 minutes), enhanced Encounter stats, the addition of all new Relic cards to the base game, 2 new Encounters, and materials improvements including dual layer player boards and upgraded art and graphics. The real joy of the game is the delicate balance between helping the party (and staying alive) vs working towards your own selfish goals (and risking the welfare of everyone). There are no dice. Each Turn, you will choose how much damage you are willing to do to the monster- or won't do - as you jockey for position to land the killing blow. And when characters can make that kind of decision, things get very funny & very deadly - very quickly. With 27 encounters, all requiring a different group strategy and separate individual strategy, game play is always challenging. Only 9 random encounters are used in any game, so the experience is always different. With fresh new mechanics built into each expansion and a creature pool now over 100 strong - there is always a new adventure ahead. And they become deadlier as we go. GAME COMPONENTS: 27 Encounter Cards 6 Initiative Cards 94 Main Deck Cards 8 wood counters 6 Dual Layer Character boards 1 Dual Layer Encounter board token sheet rules Game Design: Curt Covert, Additional Development: Justin Brunetto & Curt Covert, Cover Design: Justin Brunetto Players: 3-6 Ages: 14 and Up Playing Time: 30 / 60 / 90 minutes

Truly an expansion of the fans, for the fans, with everything people have asked for in the game's long & successful history! New, unique characters and a drafting mechanic to customize your own.

Stay Alive! Gain a Fortune! A `social collusion` game of shifting alliances, betrayals, and murder for profit, players in Dead Last must conspire and vote upon whom to kill each round. Any means of overt or covert communication is allowed - a glance, a nod, pointing under the table, flashing their card, anything - but, make sure you don`t tip off the target or they could ambush you instead!

GREED, PRIDE, WRATH... just three of the 7 Deadlies you will encounter in this devious little card game, themed on the 7 Deadly Sins. Do your best to rid yourself of them all, as soon as you can - while your opponents do their damnedest to fill your hand with more. Empty your hand three times to WIN - and become the ENVY of all your friends! Object: Play as many cards as you can each turn, of the same Suit, Number value or a Straight of any length, trying to empty your hand as quickly as possible, while at the same time preventing your opponents from doing the same. The top most card of the set you play activates that suit's ability, either helping you further or sandbagging your opponents. Each time you successfully empty your hand (and manage to keep it empty until the end of the turn), your new starting hand will be two cards smaller than the previous time, as tracked by your Wickedness token. (6, 4, 2, 0) Empty your hand three times, and you WIN! A nasty little card game for a hell of a good time. 3-5 Players 30 Min Age: 10+

The Butler did it... and so did everyone else! In J’ACCUSE!, everyone at the table is guilty of murder, but only one of you need pay the price. For this is a game of implicating others, passing around incriminating evidence and accusing one another of doing the old man in. In the end, enough evidence will be forced upon a single player to make a solid case against them… one loser and a table full of winners who got away with MURDER! This is a light, approachable card game for 3-6 players that requires players to vote, in the blind, on where evidenced will be passed each turn or try to catch others with a well timed, “J’ACCUSE!” This defining moment is often a shouted out accusation, drawing laughter, roleplay-esque denials from the players as well as a crowd of onlookers. 3–6 Players 30–60 Min Playing Time Age: 14+

A Dragon is born of Determination and Persistence. As a Koi fish, you spend your days (turns) swimming to and fro by playing a number of movement cards, with the goal of gobbling up as many dragonflies and frogs as you can every day. Each movement card has from two to four programmed moves, straight, turn, rotate any direction and leap over a space, with some moves being mandatory when played, and others being optional. Your tranquil Koi Pond begins with some decorative stone and a few lily pads, but you will also receive Natural Beauty cards in your hand that allow a player to add more lily pads, cherry blossoms, ornamental stone and frogs – which both enhances the beauty of the pond, while at the same time, causes turmoil beneath the still waters for the other Koi. Lily pads are great, as they spawn dragonflies every turn, each of which is worth 3 Victory Points when eaten. Cherry Blossoms ripple the surface of the water as they land, causing all living things to scatter in the opposite direction – and if you play them wisely, right into your mouth! Stones prevent fish from entering a space and are best placed to block an opponent’s path to a meal. Frogs are delicious 1 VP meals all their own, but… they also eat dragonflies in adjacent spaces, so often they are placed to deprive opponents of their dinner. As the weather changes, and a new event card is revealed for the day, so must your strategy. At the end of seven days, the game comes to an end, with the best-fed fish being declared the winner. Be wise, be quick, or go hungry. Persevere and you shall succeed. * A beautifully themed, light strategy game for 2-4 players. * Tactical movement, a touch of 'take that' as you outmaneuver opponents, yet a remarkably 'zen' experience. 2-4 players 40-60 minutes Ages 14+

Nevermore is a casual-style, card-drafting game, where you quickly build your hand each round, collecting cards you want and poisoning your opponent's hand by passing along cards you think they can't use. Whoever holds the most of a given suit, gains the power of that suit - to Attack, Heal, Acquire White or Shadow Magicks and Score Victory points. Will you transform all your rivals into ravens - or can they regain their human form in time to score enough Victory to win? Nevermore can be taught in less than five minutes, making for easy in-store demos, yet hides a surprising amount of depth in strategy, as players try to outwit and outmaneuver their opponents. Player "transformation" replaces player elimination, keeping everyone in the game until the last moment, yet still rewards players who have performed better during the game. Short game length encourages multiple plays per session and appeals to players of all skill levels – with plenty of underhanded plotting and backstabby goodness.

The Night Cage is a cooperative, horror-themed tile placement game that traps 1-5 lost souls within another wordly labyrinth of eternal darkness. Equipped with nothing but dim candles, you must work together to explore the maze and escape. To win, players must each collect a Key, find a Gate, and escape as a group. But escape wont be easy.The weak glow of your candle sheds light on only a small area of the maze at a time. As players move, new pathways are revealed while old ones disappear forever into the darkness, creating an ever-changing play space that requires teamwork and collective strategy to navigate. 1–5 Players 40–60 Min Age: 14+
