44 BCE is a strategy-betrayal board game where you and four of your friends attempt to conquer the recently fallen Rome. You will need to scheme and back-stab your way to the position of Imperium Maius, and declare Rome under your dominion!
Julius Caesar has just been assassinated. Rome is now up for grabs, and people are ready to take the throne as their own. Play as Agrippa, Brutus, Cleopatra, Mark Antony, or Octavian, and take power one senator at a time. Create temporary alliances, assassinate senators, and gather your legion of followers to bolster your claim as the new Emperor.
Aside from intimidation and fear, there are other ways to gain allies. Construct statues to figures of old and build massive structures to inspire the populous. Do favours for members of the social elite, the military, or other political figures to gain boons and assistance. Once you have assisted each faction enough, they will pledge allegiance to your cause. The more allegiance you have, the harder it is to take you out.
But be careful who you help and who you double cross – you never know who is levelling a blade at your back.
44 BCE comes out in August, 2023! Back your copy here!

The galaxy is yours for the taking! Arcs is an upcoming release by Cole Wehrle, Kyle Ferrin, and Leder Games. Explore planets, battle against other ships, and build a galactic empire to unite the stars!
The old imperium is dying out. You and the other players are the last remaining imperial agents, now responsible for trying to rebuild this fallen empire. With disease and violence overwhelming every planet in the known universe, it is up to you to achieve peace – or is it? Perhaps there is more that you can obtain if you disavow the empire entirely and set out on your own…
There are a number of actions you can perform over the course of your turn. You can travel between planets and zones; build structures on inhabited planets; excavate for resources; fight other players for territories; repair broken units or locations; and much more. Each action has a corresponding card that you can play to your board. Every player gets to play one card per turn, allowing either multiple actions for a low power card, or a single action for a high power card. Whoever has the highest power card at the end of the turn goes first the next round.
Gain the initiative, build your fleet, and take over the galaxy one planet at a time!
Arcs comes out in December 2023! Back your copy here!
