Bear Necessities is a competitive tableau‑building game featuring simultaneous drafting with a reserve, in‑game scoring, and honeypots!

During each round, players draft two cards from their starting hand: one to add to their tableau and one to save for the next round, then pass the remaining cards to the player on their left.

The card you add to your tableau must be placed orthogonally adjacent to an already placed card, and it activates immediately, granting you victory points. It also triggers all of its adjacent neighbors, creating powerful combos and cascading effects.

The cards you receive from the other player are combined with the one you saved from the previous round, and you draft again until your hand is empty.

At that point, you replenish your hand and repeat the process until everyone has completed a 4‑column by 3‑row grid: after 12 rounds, the game ends and the player with the most points is the winner!

In this social deduction game, players act as elite crime analysts solving a murder, unaware that one among them is the actual culprit with a warped memory. Most players hold matching Location Cards showing the true crime scene, while the culprit holds a different number. Non-culprit analysts must cooperate and share clues to identify the odd one out. Meanwhile, the culprit must hide by mimicking others' opinions and try to deduce the real crime scene. The game relies on a tense psychological balance of sharing enough information to find the killer without exposing oneself.

1. Setup: Players secretly receive one Location Card, where the majority number represents the true crime scene and the unique number designates the hidden culprit.
2. Gameplay Structure: The game proceeds through three consecutive rounds, each consisting of an Opinion Phase followed by a Suspicion Phase.
3. Opinion Phase: An Opinion Card with a 1–4 scale question is revealed, and all players simultaneously choose and debate a number based on their crime deductions.
4. Suspicion Phase: Players vote clockwise using Suspicion Tokens to mark the most doubtful player, who then gets a brief chance to defend themselves.
5. Confrontation Phase: After three rounds, players draw Confrontation Cards to target suspects with direct questions, which the suspects must answer (lying is allowed).
6. Final Vote: Players simultaneously vote for the culprit; if correctly accused, the culprit can still win by guessing the true crime scene number and its matching Weapon Tile.

The Dwarven King has issued an order to the houses of each clan. It is imperative to reclaim Karrak-cüm-Kazar, the sacred mountain, ancestral home of the Dwarves since the first Age of the Beard.

At the end of the game, the clan that has accumulated the most glory will take the recognition of the monarch and the victory.

In Drillers, players explore an abandoned mine using their mechs, trying to find and excavate anything useful or valuable left behind by a forgotten mining corporation. Each level of the mine brings new opportunities and new challenges—as fuel runs low and decisions become tighter.

Flame & Forge is a new and completely standalone game from 1 to 4 players. It’s a Worker placement, deck-building, push-your-luck full of interesting choices and really fun meeples! This time we will be dwarfs marching into a city on flames to raid resources, forge powerful weapons and challenge monsters — and maybe convince them to join your side of the fight!

Will you save the city… or rule it? in Flame & Forge you choose your path before the game begins — cooperate or compete, the forge is ready for both. So you may join forces to take down the mighty red dragon before your city goes up in flames, or if your friends are feeling bold (and maybe a bit greedy), storm the castle to see who will slay the beast and rise as the next Dwarf King.

-

In your turn pick one of your dwarf meeples from your campfire and place them on the outskirt city tiles in the first spot to the left of the chosen tile and take ALL visible actions in this tile AND take damage to remove fire tokens, if another player places their dwarf in the same tile they may perform less actions than you. In your next turn, your options will be reduced: the next tile must be up by one line closer to the dragon's castle and adjacent to the tile your previously placed your dwarf. Once all of your dwarfs are out you retrieve them all and start from the bottom again.

• Get a Gem
• Spend Gems to forge a weapon card
• Spend Gems to advance in the knowledge track
• Perform a ranged attack
• Fight a monsters on the same tile
• Grant a success hit on a attack
• Retire a card from your deck
• Heal 1 damage

In the knowledge track you can also upgrade your dwarf workers to special meeples that give you actions, and also give special abilities to be used when they all return to you after they are all out.

A big element of the game is the battling system that allow for you to hit cards (in a push your luck) where the damage you deal and the damage you take comes from your own deck. Weapons you forge and monsters you defeat also go to your deck along with cards that will allow for the most varied actions (as long as you survive the fight) so many times you need to decide to either flee and perform the actions or risk it all to try and defeat the monster.

There are some arcade - boss battler - elements and the dragon fights back putting fire to the city and if any tile has 3 fire it will be destroyed and players will lose the game if 7 city tiles are destroyed.

The game ends when the dragon is defeated by one of the players. If you are playing coop then you will all win together, if before the beginning of the game you decided for the competitive game then you will count points to decide the new king.

The beautiful peninsula of Greenwood is run by a circle of druids and advertised as a sanctuary for magical animals and ideal vacation spot. But that version of Greenwood is a lie.

In Greenwood, you play as Primal Spirits and lead your companions to save Greenwood.

On each turn, you face the difficult decision of whether to use the abilities of your own companions, to use the abilities of other players’ companions, or to send one of your companions into the forest to improve your wayfinding and rescue mystical creatures.

In the advanced game, each clan has a unique ability – a small additional rule that has a major impact on the game. What makes this special is that players can use the unique ability of any clan currently in play, not just their own.

The game is played over the course of 3 nights and whoever scored the most victory points wins.

In Hire or Fire?, players take on the roles of headhunters who are looking to fill their own job openings while simultaneously applying for their own dream jobs. Over four rounds, each representing one week, everyone plays simultaneously.

Each week, every player chooses a job card from their hand as the position they are offering. At the same time, each player applies for another player's job by secretly assembling an application consisting of a previous job, a strength, a weakness, and a salary expectation. Job and skill cards used in an application are discarded after the round, and each salary expectation can be used only once during the game.

Once all applications have been submitted, they are shuffled and presented anonymously. Players then simultaneously choose the applicant they consider the best fit for the job they are offering. If you are selected for your designated dream job, you earn your chosen salary, while the player who hired you receives a bonus. Being selected for a different job earns you a smaller compensation, while receiving no job offer earns you nothing.

After four weeks, the game ends. Players add together the salaries, hiring bonuses, and compensation they have earned. The player who has earned the most money wins. Ties are broken first by the number of bonuses and then by the number of compensation payments received.

The 25th century. After discovering the coordinates of a planet erased from all official charts, you assemble an expedition aboard the ZAROFF and set course for Artemia.

The first surveys look promising: a Class M world, lush and breathable. But as you enter the atmosphere, a magnetic field tears through the ship's systems. Crash landing. Distress signal sent. Now you wait for rescue on an alien world that may not want you here.

Something is watching from the jungle. Something ancient. Something territorial.

You are not alone.

Not Alone is an asymmetric card game pitting one player against the rest of the table. The Hunted use Place cards and Survival cards to explore Artemia and hold out until rescue arrives, advancing the Rescue counter each round. The Creature hunts them, pushing the Assimilation counter forward with every successful catch. Whoever's counter reaches the Victory space first wins.

Each turn, the Hunted secretly choose a Place card from their hand and place it face down. They can talk freely, but each survivor must choose alone. Then the Creature places up to three Hunt tokens across the ten locations of Artemia. All cards are revealed: survivors on safe locations trigger powerful place abilities, while those caught lose Will counters or suffer Hunt card effects. Lose your last Will counter and the Assimilation counter surges forward. At the end of each round, the Rescue counter advances one space.

Managing your hand is key. Place cards accumulate in a visible discard pile, making your next move predictable. Spend Will counters to Resist and reclaim discarded cards, or Give Up to fully reset at a heavy collective cost to the whole team.

This Remastered Edition also includes Frozen Lands, an alternative version for 4 to 7 players. It introduces 55 new Place cards and 14 Contamination tokens. Giving up or losing your last Will counter now risks drawing a hidden Contamination token. When rescue finally arrives, every survivor must be clean. One infected player means defeat for the entire team.

As the wealthy flaunt their valuables, with their infinite money and privilege, the less fortunate of us are left to scheme on how to skim a bit off the top. You are not wealthy. You call your esteemed profession: “Wealth Redistribution” or, in layperson’s terms - burglary, ah - but burglary is such a harsh word - pinching, merely, and you're darn good at it. Unfortunately, so are your “friends”.

Each turn, one player (burglar) becomes “The Mastermind”, planning their perfect, infallible Heist. In the meantime, the other burglars in town have been busy trying to guess where the break-in will be. If The Mastermind manages to go alone, they will take all valuables in that location for themselves, but if the other burglars guess correctly, and show up in the right place, they will be able to pinch some Valuables from The Mastermind’s Heist! The player who steals and sells the most Valuables, and hence “Redistributes” the most wealth is the winner.

Underhaven takes place in the near future. Extreme weather has made life challenging: vast floods due to hurricanes, El Niño & rain storms, severe heat resulting in huge wildfires & droughts—catastrophic, continuous events on a biblical scale. Since humanity has not yet evolved the technology for intergalactic space travel, the only solution is to go Underground.

The players take the roles of one of 4 corporations tasked with building an underground society. This society will serve as a model for future underground dwellings, but only one corporation will prevail.

This trial period is overseen by a global entity called The Corp. Since currency has little value in this impending euphoria, they will evaluate the process based on the only metric they value: reputation.

Each corporation has its own specific speciality & abilities, assets that other corporations might need to hire to fulfil their own goals. The corporations explore the underground to find the most suitable terrains, where they will build their society. From this society they aim to build up their reputation with The Corp, fulfil their production & building needs, streamline production with interconnected tunnels, and complete tasks.

The core aim is to gain the highest reputation within this trial period in order to gain the sole-monopoly!

Game Type: Worker placement and engine-building game for 2-4 players, ages 14 & up.

Setting: Near-future Earth, deep beneath the surface.

The Premise:
In a bid to safeguard humanity from the harsh surface environment, specialized corporations, controlled by the players, are utilizing advanced technology to drill deep into the Earth's core.

Your task as a Corporate Leader is to establish and manage a thriving subterranean society.
Dig underground, find suitable terrain to build up your ideal society based on your strengths & unique abilities. Players must secure the favor of The Corp by diligently completing assigned tasks and delivering necessary goods and resources. The Corp's valuable perspective is crucial for the society's success.

Failure to meet The Corp's demands will result in irreparable damage to the player's reputation.

Core Gameplay & Objectives:
Corporate Specialization: Each corporation possesses unique expertise in certain environments, as well as unique abilities. Partial collaboration is essential; you may need to hire the specialized skills of rival teams to successfully build some buildings.

Resource Management: You must efficiently manage your resources to fund your workforce, keep them fed, and maintain high morale to build the most successful society.
Executing Orders: Each turn, The Corp issues a set of orders for you to select from, often accompanied by small bonuses. Success depends on your ability to strategically prioritize these tasks within your managing console.

The Corp Relationship: Occasionally, you'll need to "send gifts" to The Corp. Some call them bribes, but we prefer to view it as a demonstration of your exemplary leadership, designed to gain extra resources or boost your reputation.

Hidden Agenda & Victory: The Corp has given each team some secret, specific objectives to complete. In the end, only one corporation will emerge victorious, earning the exclusive rights to all future subterranean development. Will your leadership prevail?

Multiple quests, using different board layouts, are included in the game; quests can be played either independently, or as a continuing campaign, ending in a final climactic confrontation to avoid Ragnarok.

Welcome to WHACKTOWN - the city where chaos rules and only the toughest survive!

Hit the streets and build your gang. It’s all about influence, respect, and striking first. Some strikes boost your reputation; others bring you trouble. Sometimes they do both.

WHACKTOWN is fast, ruthless, and fiercely competitive. Every game is different, every turn matters, and the balance of power can shift in an instant.

The game is easy to pick up. Each round follows three simple steps:
1. Move: Move your gang and trigger the effects of the target location.
2. Hustle: Play any number of hustle cards; to play a hustle, you must discard other cards as a cost.
3. Chill: Draw cards and pass to the next player.

Locations are access-controlled: Some require money, information, reputation or health to enter. So your positioning and timing matter as much as your muscles.

Sudden reversals are common: if you slack off, someone might literally drop a bomb in your living room. As damage effects hit all rivals, make sure to build up enough armor to protect you.

You win by becoming the most feared gangster boss in WHACKTOWN: either eliminate every other player or be the first to hit 10 Reputation.

If you like quick, confrontational games with tactical depth, player interaction, and a heavy dose of gangster humor (and you don’t mind getting whacked a few times), WHACKTOWN is the perfect late-night brawl.

Wild World is a dynamic 1–4 player strategy game that blends worker placement, multi-use cards, engine-building, and tactical monster combat into one seamless, combo-driven experience. Set across five elemental realms — Forest, Ocean, Fire, Frost, and Magic — players gather fantastical creatures, explore vivid regions, evolve their champions, and brew powerful potions as they race to score the most points over three rounds.

What makes Wild World stand out is the freedom and flexibility baked into every turn. You may perform a number of different free actions — placing cards to strengthen your engine, traveling through realms for rewards and prestige, or discarding for resources — allowing each turn to unfold as a meaningful puzzle. Every card has multiple uses, and clever sequencing often triggers reward chains that lead to explosive, satisfying combos.

At the heart of the game are the mighty monsters guarding the world. Defeating them will give you permanent abilities, immediate bonuses, scoring conditions, new workers, and prestige, but reaching them requires smart planning: evolving creatures, upgrading your potion-brewing, unlocking stronger foes, and assembling the perfect moment to strike.

With multiple strategic paths, escalating tension, and thrilling bursts of synergy, Wild World offers a richly re-playable adventure in which every decision matters — and every turn can become something special.

In Wildscape, you will restore barren lands in Africa with rich habitats -- woodlands, wetlands, savanna, deserts, and rivers -- to create areas for a diverse animal ecosystem to return and to thrive.

Each player must expand their land and fill it with specific habitat tiles based on the needs of both common (but variable) objective cards and personal goal cards acquired throughout the game. Your habitats' size and type will attract various herbivores that grant end-game points and will support predators and primates that give powerful bonuses. You will hire specialists for their on-going effects to accelerate your revitalization effort in unique ways. The backbone of all of this is an action selection system on the community roundel where each space contains a unique combination of possible actions. Driven by this choice, action tokens cascade around the roundel creating an ever-changing strength for these actions throughout the game.

The winner will be the one who develops the most valuable ecosystem of herbivores, predators, primates, birds, and indigenous fauna.
