Root: The Marauder Expansion is a upcoming set expansion for the classic strategy game Root! Take on two new factions to conquer the Woodland either through destruction or relic hunting!
The Marauder Expansion introduces two powerful new factions into the battle for the Woodlands – The Lord of Hundreds and The Keepers in Iron. The Lord of Hundreds uses a vast army to burn and pillage the Woodlands. Destroy buildings, set fires to various sections of the map, and claim crafted items from players. But be careful – the more powerful the Lord becomes, the more he becomes monomanical.
The Keepers in Iron are relic hunters. Reminiscent of the Vagabond, the Keepers in Iron are in search of lost ancient items that are scattered throughout the Woodlands. This faction utilizes trade routes and alliance craft to control the board, but they will still have plenty of enemies. Be careful going head to head in combat with this group – their armor is particularly hard to bite into.
Also coming to this set are Hirelings! These small bands controlled by the game can add additional challenges at any player count. Add in the new upcoming draft mechanic, and you can make your upcoming casual or competitive game of Root one to remember.
Root: The Marauder Expansion comes out in Q2 of 2022!

Viscounts of the West Kingdom: Gates of Gold and Keeper of Keys are two brand new expansions for Viscounts of the West Kingdom! Claim your place as a Viscount and save your city from poverty and suffering!
In Gates of Gold, distant travellers have decided to make home in your great city. Welcoming these outsiders could grant great boons to your nation, but some may have devious intentions. The King has his declarations, but it is the Viscounts who will make the big decisions.
This set will introduce two brand new card types: King’s Orders and Outsider cards. Both of these cards can grant you boons, but also restrictions if you are not careful. This set will also give everyone Manuscript Boards to unlock new abilities, and will also introduce new Heroes, Townsfolk, and Manuscript cards.
In Keeper of Keys, the name of the game is treasure and secrets. Some of the Viscounts are loyal to the King to his last breath. Others are not so dedicated, instead searching for gold and power throughout the castle. The choice is up to you: either remain devoted to the crown, or make your own destiny.
This set introduces new player boards with card slots for holding new chest tiles. Compete against other Viscounts to construct new buildings, collect chests, and obtain new Townsfolk Hero cards. Develop alliances to help obtain powers you never thought possible. Just be careful – you never know who is ready to stab you in the back.

From one of the creators of Magic: The Gathering, SolForge Fusion is a brand new deck building game! Become a Forgeborn and take your rightful place across the land of Solace!
Years ago, the planet of Solace faced a cataclysmic threat. To save the world from total destruction, the four factions of Solace covered the planet in ice with powerful elemental magics. To ensure the survival of the inhabitants, the SolForge was built. This forge holds the power of the sun, able to warm the interior of the planet, as well as the peoples who were forced beneath the surface.
But the forge has done more than just keep its new denizens warm. Some people have developed incredible powers from its influence. These individuals are known as Forgeborn.
But the time of hiding is nearly over. The ice around Solace is beginning to melt, allowing the people of the world to reclaim old territories. Armies are being gathered, weapons crafted, and Forgeborn recruited – now it is time to take on the world.
SolForge is a hybrid deck building game, allowing you to mix and match decks of any of the four main factions of Solace. You can choose to play as the Alloyin, the magic and metalworkers; the Uterra, the underforest keepers; the Tempys, embracing the brutal elements of the world; or the Nekrium, who embrace undeath. Choose two factions, mix their main decks and boom – you are ready to play!
SolForge Fusion is currently only fulfilling physical copies of the game throughout the USA. However, they will be expanding! Keep up to date about everything SolForge here!

It is time to transcend, adventurer! Bitoku is a hand-management game all about ascending to become the next great spirit of the forest!
You play as a Bitoku forest spirit, looking to take your next step in the spirit world. To become a higher spirit, you will need some help. You win points by utilizing various resources, including using yokai cards, helping lost spirits known as mitamas, and managing pilgrims who will follow your wisdom.
Yokai cards offer you special abilities that you can play throughout the game, but each one has their own conditions for play. Make sure to play them at the right time to get the most out of their abilities. You also have three yokai guardian spirits that can obtain new resources for you to use. These can include building structures, obtaining soul crystals to gain extra actions, and more!
Helping mitamas requires completing certain tasks and utilizing fireflies in order to help these wandering souls find their homes. Each saved spirit will give you addition points to add to your final score. Finally, pilgrims will follow the will of your Bitoku, seeking your wisdom through contemplation. They will then travel back home, and potentially find new pilgrims for you to add to your roster!
At the end of the game, tally up the points you gained from utilizing all three of these resources, and claim your title as the great forest spirit!
Bitoku comes out in 2022!

They are out there – bloodthirsty monsters scouring the world for their next feast. Ancient Blood – The Order of Vampire Hunters makes it clear who you are and what you are up against. The only question is if you will survive.
In this co-operative campaign style game, you work as a team to hunt down vampire clans across the world. Travel throughout the land, learn more about your targets, and face difficult choices. Resting will help replenish your abilities and attacks, but will leave you vulnerable to attack. Do you risk being prey, or do you act as an exhausted predator?
For every vampire slain, there is gold to be earned. Gather your wealth to buy new weapons, equipment, food, and cures to survive the next fight. Level up your Hunter to gain more and more powerful class abilities to destroy your next undead foe.
But to be a Hunter does not mean you just use silver weapons. To use your special abilities, you will need to inject yourself with Vials of vampire blood. You can only activate these special abilities when you have matching cards set down on the board. But be careful about how many you use – if you abuse these abilities too much, you may find yourself becoming the very thing you hunt.
Ancient Blood – The Order of Vampire Hunters comes out in February of 2023! Back your copy here!
