LORE!

LORE is a upcoming storytelling board game all about creating legends, defeating monsters, and protecting your kingdom! Get up to four of your friends together to tell a story filled with adventure, romance, and mystery!

Your home is under attack. Monsters hide in every corner of the realm, ready to strike travellers and townsfolk alike. The world is in need of heroes… and that’s where you and your friends come in. Once you save the realm from danger, there will be songs and legends written about your adventures. The only question is: who will you become?

Choose one of four different characters to play as, each with their own alternate form: The Knight/The Paladin, The Enchantress/The Wizard, The Prince/The Princess, or The Rogue/The Bandit. Next, set up the Field Boards to discover what your world looks like. Each Field Board has its own resources and abilities. Use these to your advantage to score extra points, get bonus resources, and more!

Once the game begins, players will have three days to save your home. Each day, a player will take four turns to perform actions, draw cards, and move across the realm. Create beautiful tapestries, go in search of treasure, take on quests, and more!

The game ends at the conclusion of the third day. Whoever has the most points wins!

LORE comes out in December, 2023! Back your copy here!

From The Moon!

From The Moon is a worker placement game all about saving humanity and exploring the vast reaches of space! Play with up to four players and shoot for the moon as you look to harvest resources, gain power, and save the world… literally.

Earth has been wrought all of its resources. Now, on the verge of collapse, humanity has sent your factions to the moon to harvest any last materials you can find in order to build ships to travel to the planets Mars, Europa, and Titan for resettlement. However, there may not be enough resources to go around for everyone. You will need to move quickly if you don’t want to be abandoned on this rock forever.

Each player begins by choosing one of four factions, each with their own unique starting resources and abilities. Choose from either the Biofarmers, the Pioneers, the Cyborgs, or the Workers. Once your faction is chosen, take turns building up your moon base by creating astronauts, building and developing greenhouses and laboratories, and so much more! Need more actions? Then upgrade your Battery to perform multiple actions in one turn.

Once you have enough harvested resources, use them to complete construction of massive spaceships and send them back to Earth to collect as many people as possible. The players who has completed construction of all of their ships, or completed the most ships when time runs out, wins!

From The Moon comes out in February, 2024! Back your copy here!

An Age Contrived!

An Age Contrived is a competitive resource management game where players will take on the role of the gods! Have your followers build monuments in your honour, upgrade your action engine, and become the most powerful god in your pantheon.

As a god, there is nothing more resplendent than worship. You and your fellow deities may be young, but that just means you have nowhere to go but up. It is time to explore the mortal world, spread your influence, and take on as many followers as you can. If you can gather the most influence in the mortal realm, then you will be unstoppable… including against your fellow gods.

Each player begins by choosing one of five different deities: Aureon, The Traveler, a wandering god looking to collect stories both near and far; Rusne, The Bulwark, a protection deity who manages all dangers that appear across the land; Multanec, The Crafter, a inventor who inspires all they meet; Freyith, The Orchestrator, the keeper of the pantheon and faith; and Ignotas, The Keeper, he who manages the powers and magics of the pantheon.

Each turn, players will be able to use energy tokens to begin building monuments. Your god piece will then be able to move across the board, gathering believers, and increasing your worship. The more worship you gain, the more energy tokens you gain, which can be used to build other monuments.

Once all the monuments are constructed, players will be able to tally up their points from their monuments, as well as their additional tokens. Whoever has the most points by the end of the game wins!

Once you have your soldiers on the field, lead your fighters into battle and claim the various regions on the map as your own. Destroy your opponents strongholds, and claim Candleabria for yourself.

Eye of Zamrock: Invasion!

Eye of Zamrock: Invasion is a high fantasy resource management game where you must balance the needs of your kingdom while you fend off a demonic invasion. Pull in five of your friends to kick off a politics game where only one kingdom can come out victorious!

Begin by choosing one of the six different nations to play, each with their own unique abilities.

  • The Dragon Kingdom can accelerate resource acquisition and reduce magic recovery times.
  • The Horee Kingdom can build massive defences for their cities and quickly stealth when danger is on the horizon.
  • The Construct Kingdom can look at the cards across the numerous resource decks and get what they need.
  • The Giant Kingdom can quickly gain access to money and deal extra damage to demons.
  • The Human Kingdom can control some aspects of the demon summoning circles, and quickly dash to assault demonic armies.
  • And The Ork Kingdom can interrupt other players to take resources, purchase resources first in the turn order, and always have the advantage when demons attack in their territory.

Once your kingdom is chosen, you then choose a hero who will explore the world and lead your armies to victory! There is:

  • Belein Sinkvor, The Demon Hunter
  • Miriam Rhugh, The Spatial Knight

While you set out on your military campaign, expand your territory and prepare to ambush enemy pieces.

However, just because you are able to bring the hammer down on the demons doesn’t mean that’s the only way to win. You will also need to obtain as many Medals as possible, granting you points by accomplishing different kingdom objectives. Whoever ends the game with the most medals wins!

Stonesaga!

Stonesaga is a prehistoric co-op survival game where players attempt to survive in a prehistoric world, facing off against disasters at every turn. Whether you are facing off against floods, drought, war, or any other bringer of destruction, players will need to work together to stay alive. Explore the world, harvest resources, and craft tools to ensure your survival!

Players begin by choosing one of four different leadership roles – The Mantle of the Seeker, The Mantle of the Wanderer, The Mantle of the Protector, or The Mantle of the Storyteller. Each of these roles have their own health scale, abilities, and resource access. Make your character truly yours by customizing your character sheet with your characters name, age, and more!

Once you have chosen your character, players will be able to explore the board and start building the world as you see fit. Every round has its own goal, requiring you and your friends to work together in order to survive. Whether it is making stories to keep up moral, or gathering food to fight off starvation, each goal must be met. Make sure to utilize your abilities carefully so that you are able to complete as many tasks as possible in a turn.

But be careful about running around the board trying to do too much. The night brings its own dangers, whether it be raiders or wild beasts, and you don’t want to be left alone. Stay together to stay alive!

While you juggle your round goal and your night time survival, you will also need access to plenty of resources. Explore the edges of your known world in order to find rich springs of food, water, and other natural wonders. But beware – behemoths linger near, and will destroy you without hesitation.

Stonesaga comes out in April, 2024! Back your copy here!
