OrcQuest Warpath!

It’s time to join in the warpath! OrcQuest Warpath is a co-operative dungeon crawler game that will throw you against men and elves and dwarves. Choose your character, your class, and save your brethren from the maniacal and bloodthirsty humans!

Your home is under siege. Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Undead have reached your home in a quest to destroy your orc colony. It is your job to save it and kill everything in your way. You will need to complete numerous missions, each as harrowing as the last, to keep your community safe. The only way to survive is with each other – stick together, stay alive.

Every game of OrcQuest will always look a little different. Every dungeon crawl is randomized, having different weapons, creatures, and items in each room every time you play. Work with your team to utilize your special abilities each combat and chain powerful attacks.

Whenever you are in doubt, claim some power from the great Orc god, Badass, in order to bolster your strength. Use Badass points to trigger special attacks, perform additional actions, or granting your allies new skill cards.

Once you have won the fight, loot the place, craft new items and abilities, and keep moving! Your enemies will not hesitate to put an end to you all, so don’t give them the chance!

OrcQuest Warpath comes out in October, 2023! Back your copy here!

Oros!

It is time to achieve enlightenment! In Oros, play as a demigod making your way across an ocean in search of knowledge and  divine wisdom. Use this simple rules puzzle game to explore volcanoes, islands, and mountain tops!

Each player begins by choosing their demigod and taking their appropriate game pieces. Each game board operates the same way, but there are multiple strategies to win. Use your turns to create a variety of different physical landscapes – build volcanoes to make more land, smash the land together to make mountains, and study on sacred mountain sites to gain more divine knowledge! As you move tiles across the board, move your congregation of worshippers across the ocean as you search for more land to settle.

Just make sure you keep an eye on where you place land and build sites. Otherwise, your opponents might get as much help from your moves as you do!

Every sacred site you study at will bring you and your followers closer to the truth of the divine. Gain bonus points and wisdom by performing special actions on your character board. Once you have travelled to the top of your enlightenment board, you win!

Oros comes out on January 15th, 2023!

Sol: Last Days of a Star!

It’s time to harvest our star, adventurer! In this reprint of Sol: Last Days of a Star, players fly into the void of space as they attempt to save their solar system from the death of their star. Work together to harvest the last remaining pulses of energy from your dying star to fuel your starships and escape to a brighter world!

Your solar system has lived in a utopia for centuries. By directly channelling the energy of the sun, your planets have been able to revolutionize their power infrastructure, becoming worlds of renown. However, solar harvesting has come with its consequences. These once mighty worlds have found their power waning, plunging them into darkness. The sun, left without resources, has begun to self-destruct.

Humanity has collected into Ark ships, waiting at the edge of the solar system to travel to nearby safe worlds. However, to do so, they will need one last kick of solar energy to get there. Will you collect it in time?

You and up to four of your friends will have to traverse the board, spending energy to build small space stations and ships to collect more energy to send to your Ark. Spend and save energy as you see fit, but know that the more you build, the longer you will take to send resources to your Ark, and the closer you become to annihilation.

Construct your solar gate to enter light speed, and jump to the nearest habitable world! Play in either competitive to race your friends to the solar gate, or play cooperative mode to all win together!

This special reprint will also include a special set of wooden inserts to keep your game organized! Every insert is labelled to make every set up and tear down that much easier.

Sol: Last Days of a Star comes out in September, 2023! Back your copy here!

SAS – Rogue Regiment!

Stay quiet, stay alive! SAS – Rogue Regiment is an upcoming WW2 stealth game where players move quietly across the game board, assassinating Nazi soldiers, and destroying outposts. Work together to get out alive!

Each character starts by choosing their own operative. Each operative has their own special ability, such as being able to use disguises to slip past guards. Gather your equipment and head into battle!

There are two main modes of operation during each session of gameplay: stealth and combat. During the stealth sections, players will need to use all of their abilities and ingenuity to enter the battlefield and complete as many objectives as possible.

While you are sneaking around, enemy forces will be traversing the area. Their movements will be determined by event cards drawn every turn. Make sure to approach your enemies quietly and cover your tracks. Take down as many soldiers as possible before all hell breaks loose.

But don’t lose hope if you trip an alarm – you have a gun after all. Once you are detected, you will need to run and gun your way out of the area. But be careful – the place will be swarmed with soldiers very quickly. Make sure to set up a defensible position on your way out in order to keep all your allies alive. When all of you are at the extraction point, hop in your jeep and get out of there!

If you are able to complete all the objectives before leaving the area, you win the encounter! Complete numerous missions all over Europe to win the war!

SAS – Rogue Regiment comes out in August, 2023! Back your copy here!

Pest!

The contagion is here! Take on dangerous diseases in Pest, a competitive euro board game where players take on the roles of city leaders trying to save their people. Gather your herbs and medicine – this isn’t going to be pretty.

The empire has fallen. The country is in shambles due to a rampant plague that is taking the world by storm. Those who should be leading on the Empire’s Council are either cowards or dropping like flies. Only those who remain in the Great Houses may be able to save their home from further tragedy…

Each player chooses a House that their leader represents. Each turn, players will have to face a new Pest card that will dictate where the infection has spread across their nation. Players will then have to respond, both by stopping the plague, but also trying to build infrastructure and defences for the following rounds.

Once you have cured a section of your population from the plague, assign members of your workforce to perform important tasks, such as gathering resources, working as emissaries, and rebuilding city structures. Take the best and brightest to research new tactics and techniques to deal with the plague, leading you to become a powerful political player.

Once you have completed your three eras of play, tally your scores. Whoever has the most points will be deemed the Hero of the Empire, and win the game!

Pest comes out in May, 2024! Back your copy here!

Elden Ring: The Board Game

Welcome back to the world, Tarnished. Plunge back into The Lands Between in Elden Ring: The Board Game! Explore the world, face off against dangerous monsters, and gather resources in order to complete this massive campaign!

Since The Shattering, The Lands Between has become a place of chaos. The Great Runes have been claimed, turning their god-like wielders into nothing more than corrupted madmen. Only one can return all the Great Runes together in order to re-form the Elden Ring, and ascend to the role of Elden Lord… will it be you?

Choose your Tarnished from eight different options, each with their own starting quests and equipment: the Hero, the Samurai, the Astrologer, the Prophet, the Bandit, the Vagabond, the Confessor, or the Prisoner! Choose to either go the adventure alone, or travel with up to three other Tarnished. Traverse a modular world, discover side quests, and defeat dangerous monsters, from Rotten Strays to the Grafted King himself!

Will you take your place on the throne as the Elden Lord? Or will you be corrupted by the Great Runes yourself?

Elden Ring: The Board Game comes out in May, 2024! Back your copy here!

The Last of Us: Escape the Dark!

It’s time to escape quarantine! In The Last of Us: Escape the Dark, up to five players will need to travel far and wide in order to find resources, craft new items, and find a new home…

Play as a survivor making your way from a FEDRA quarantine zone to Jackson, Wyoming, within twelve days. Travel across the board to different important locations to scavenge for food, supplies, weapons, and other useful crafting materials. Make sure to choose your path carefully, as every location will trigger different story beats and events you will need to overcome.

But resource management is far from the only consideration you need to make out in the wild. There are numerous enemies you may come face to face with, including Hunters, FEDRA agents, and/or Infected. Use item cards to make attacks and add dice to weapon damage.

The win condition for the game is that all survivors must live and be in Jackson by the end of the twelfth day. Your strategy to get there is all up to you. No matter what you face, whether you could maybe save another survivor or find a stash of goods, there is only one rule.

Survive.

The Last of Us: Escape the Dark comes out in December, 2023! Back your copy here!
