Sea of Legends!

Ahoy, adventurers! It is time to jump into the high seas in Sea of Legends as you fight against legions of enemies and plunder this magical Caribbean world filled with treasure and glory! Dive in deeper into the action with two new expansions, Vengeance of the Empires and Rise of the Ancients!

In the base game, each player gets to choose one of four different captains to lead their ship. Each captain has their own special abilities, actions, and enemies. There is Captain Kahlina, the keeper of secrets; Captain Cesare, the old guard of the seafaring world; Captain Spell, the arcanist of the ocean; and Captain Ton, the warrior of the tides. Build your crew by choosing special Lover & Nemesis cards to gain unique special buffs from a Lover, or debuffs from a Nemesis. But be careful – each Lover or Nemesis can switch sides through the course of the game!

Each player will also have their own unique enemy on the open sea: The Spanish Armada, The British Empire, the Atlantean Usurpers, the Children of Tlaloc, and the Dread Tide! You will need to defeat your adversarial faction while you search for treasure and magical boons in order to become a true pirate legend.

Each expansion will grant you four new captains for you to play as, and new factions to fight against. Take on the ship of Cursed Souls, the French Empire, the Writhing Maw, the demonic Ordo Nocturnus, and more!

Sea of Legends re-releases with the Vengeance of the Empires and Rise of the Ancients expansions in May, 2024! Back your copy here!

NANOLITH!

The world has fallen to the Sulu alien empire… but they haven’t faced you yet. In NANOLITH, save the world from aliens and super-corporations as you attempt to destroy the corrupting artifact known as the Nanolith for good!

Choose one of four powerful heroes as you trek across the last human city, Neo-Eden:

  • Ada has everything you need to heal up your allies, whether you need a band-aid or a heart transplant!
  • Wielding his blade and his courage, Ashitaka can cut through any opponent, man or machine!
  • If you need a door cracked open or a computer to reveal its secrets, Cora is the hacker for you!
  • Once a great warrior for the alien Sulu, the warrior Vaa-Lith is now ready to take the fight against the invaders!

Work together as you explore the open world, investigate mysterious events, and fight against alien oppressors! Discover the dark secrets behind the mysterious object known as the Nanolith, and purge yourselves of its influence. Level up your character to gain more and more powerful abilities, and take Neo-Eden back from Sulu clutches!

But be careful out there – you never know who may be secretly working with the invaders…

NANOLITH comes out in June, 2023! Back your copy here!

Doomensions: Pop-Up Mystery Manor!

It is time to get your ghost investigation team together! Doomensions: Pop-Up Mystery Manor is a group escape room game. Explore and escape eight different rooms inside this mansion, facing off against different dangers through each doorway!

You and your friends are the newest additions to a paranormal investigation team. All of you will require all of your wit, intelligence, and determination to solve each case. Explore the 3D model of each room carefully, and use the supplied case files to explore what really happened in this ancient manor.

Whenever you complete a room, you can consult your answer wheel to determine if all of your deductions have been correct. Each completed room will lead you to another, letting you further explore the building, leading you closer to the dark secrets within the halls of this house.

But don’t think that every case will be solved just by completing a room. You will need to complete multiple rooms within the house to fully solve each and every case. If you are feeling lost or unable to get to the next room, perhaps there is another clue that slipped beneath your nose in the room past. You never know what may be hiding in plain sight…

Are demons and devils involved in this sinister site? Or is it nothing more than superstition?

Doomensions: Pop-Up Mystery Manor comes out in February, 2023! Back your copy here!

Barbaric: After the Apocalypse!

Barbaric: After the Apocalypse is a semi-cooperative/competitive miniature board game where you and your friends attempt to steal the Atomic Core from a monster known as ‘The Queen’. Each player will take turns exploring the board with their Rider and Gear, discovering resources, new abilities, and new monsters to defeat!

Each player gets to choose one of the mutated characters (known as Riders), as well as one of the traversal beasts (known as Gears) to play as. Combine the Rider/Gear boards and cards to prepare your game state. Each turn, players will be able to move across the board or start salvaging for resources to upgrade your Rider and Gear. You can expend resources to learn new skills and further grow your character deck.

But don’t wait too long – The Queen and her minions are growing ever stronger as time passes. You will need some help if you are going to face these monsters head on… but only one of you can be the victor. Whoever is able to get the Atomic Core and pull it off the board wins the game, regardless of alliances.

Don’t think you can win by facing off against The Queen? Then go about destroying your opponents. If you are able to successfully defeat each of your opponents twice in combat, you immediately win!

Very few get out alive in this world. No matter what, you just got to make sure you’re one of them. That Atomic Core is everything. Go get it, adventurer.

Moonrakers: Titan!

The night sky is the limit, adventurer! The stars are waiting in Moonrakers: Titan, an deluxe edition of the award-winning board game Moonrakers. Build shaky alliances, gather resources, and betray your friends in this game of intergalactic domination!

In Moonrakers, you and your friends play as individual mercenaries out to make a name for yourselves. But by the end of the game, only one of you can have the respect and money to be able to become the leader of the Moonrakers. You will need to complete contracts, either alone or with your tenuous allies, to gain Prestige and Credits. Upgrade your ship and build your deck to gain special actions and explore the galaxy!

But watch out for hazards! Otherwise you may find yourself losing some of that precious Prestige!

In the Titan Edition, players will gain access to a number of extra bonuses to spice up your game. It will include three game bending expansions: Binding Ties introduces factions, allowing players to perform favours and ask for them in return; Overload will expand the deck building rules, ship parts, powers, and contract types; and Nomad entirely changes how you explore the board, allowing you to visit places that have the contracts you want and need with ease!

The Titan Edition also comes with a huge board game box to fit the base game and the related expansions, and beautiful holographic game cards! Not only that, but there is also a free digital game co-op game mode called Luminor. Instead of using your opponents to your advantage, welcome them into the fold as you make your mark on the galaxy together!

Moonrakers: Titan comes out in March, 2023! Back your copy here!

Silver Coin: Age of Monster Hunters!

An age of adventurers is upon us! Silver Coin: Age of Monster Hunters is a solo/competitive/co-op game where players hunt down monsters, learn magic and combat, and claim contracts for gold and renown!

Inspired by monster hunter works such as The Witcher, Silver Coin throws you into the continent of Atosia, a land ridden with monsters and fiends. Start the game by bidding Victory Points to play as one of the five different characters: The Shapeshifter, The Natural Chaos, The Mercenary, The Chronomancer, or The Seeker. You will also need to bid on starting locations across the board, letting you either start in the monster infested countryside, or the contract fuelled cities.

Once your character and starting position are determined, each player will take turns exploring the continent, learning new spells or abilities, and taking monster hunting contracts. If you are playing competitively, each completed contract will award you Victory Points and coins that go towards your final score. If you are playing cooperatively, then each dead monster is another success for your party.

For cooperative play, there are also additional rules for each game. These different scenarios give you and your party special win and lose conditions. You will need to utilize every opportunity you have in order to claim victory over the game board.

Silver Coin: Age of Monster Hunters comes out in November, 2023! Back your copy here!
