Ancient Terrible Things : Reawakened EN
Ancient Terrible Things: Reawakened is a pulp-horror tabletop game for 1-4 players.
You play the role of an intrepid and foolish adventurer exploring a dark jungle river for Secrets.
Each turn you must travel to a Fateful Location and face an Ominous Encounter.
If you overcome the Encounter (using a combination of dice, tokens and cards) you gain Secrets.
The object of the game is to be the player with the most Secrets when the game ends at the Inexplicable Event.
Game play involves rolling dice to achieve combinations: runs, pairs, three or more of a kind, and single die showing a particular number or higher. Dice combinations are spent to overcome Encounters and to acquire the four resources used in the game: Focus, Courage, Treasure and Feat tokens.
Focus tokens are used to activate Swag cards to better manipulate dice results.
Courage tokens are spent to overcome any Encounter when visiting the Yawning Chasm.
Treasure tokens are spent to purchase useful Swag cards from the Trading Post which give you a permanent game effect.
Feat tokens are spent to play one-shot Feat cards from your hand.
Ancient Terrible Things: Reawakened is the third implementation of the Dicequest game system as previously used in Ancient Terrible Things (1st/2nd Edition) and Konja.
The third edition incorporates edited and revised content from all previous iterations and expansions of the game, new renovated art and language-independent graphic design into a single definitive edition of ATT.

Elevenses : The Guilty Party EN
Mrs. Lansdowne has been murdered! And at her very own morning tea party, too! One of the players around the table must be the guilty one!
Elevenses: The Guilty Party is a 2-5 player card game that has each player setting their tea table with delicious foods, all the while casting suspicion cubes on other players in efforts to assist the constable in their arrest for murder!
With each turn, players will choose to either snack on a card and get its special ability, adding it to their tableaux, or rearrange their tableaux to set up for future turns. The player with the best meal when the game ends gets the most suspicion cast on their fellow guests. The least suspicious innocent guest wins the game… unless the murderer got away with it, then the murderer is victorious.

The last shall be first...
Make sure to be the last!!!
The game is separated into two phases.
Phase one is a trick-taking game with simultaneous card selection. First we check for ties. The tie numbers are gone and then the highest card wins. Cards are 1 to 6. Four times per card.
If after the first check we have a 1 card and a 6, then the 1 card wins the trick.
So now all keep the winning trick cards and we are ready for phase 2.
Phase 2 is Russian roulette, a game of chance. We have 6 cards (bullet cards) in the middle of the table, as a revolver. 5 empty chambers and one with a bullet.
On your turn (beginning with the player with the most cards from phase one):
You can draw a card (pull the trigger) or you can discard one card from that you collect before, to shuffle all open bullet cards back together and then draw one, you just spin the cylinder of the revolver, (no point to do it if you have to draw the first bullet)
or you can discard as many cards as alive players in the game to pass your turn to the next player.
When you draw we check if you die or live from the bullet card.
If you stay alive the game continues to the next player. If you die we shuffle the bullet cards and continue with the player with most cards.
Last man standing is the winner.

REVIVE: The Call of the Abyss
EILIF SVENSSONKRISTIAN A. ØSTBY
The glacial meltwater forms giant lakes. And from minuscule spores that have resided in the deeper layers of the ice, a new life form emerges. And the lakes become home to the Scyphoz.
The Scyphoz harbor vast knowledge and wisdom. We will settle near their lakes to learn from them. We will bend to their will to honor them. Complete the journeys they prepare for us. We will serve and be gifted.
That is the call of the abyss

Rankster EN
Rankster is a wildly different co-operative quiz game where you have to agree how you would rank famous people (and your friends). Simple but hilarious -
1- Turn over three character cards.
2- One player is the Judge who takes a question card, reads it to themselves, and secretly decides how they want to rank the characters on the basis of the question. They then read the question aloud to the other players.
3- The other players chat and have to all agree how they think the Judge has ranked the characters. Reveal the answer. If the players guessed the correct ranking everyone wins the round; if not everyone loses.
EXAMPLE:
Q: Who would you choose as the drummer in your rock band?
—Hermione Grainger
—George Washington
—Shrek
Start a new round, reveal three new characters and the next player becomes the Judge. Play until all players have been the Judge. You all win if you have succeeded more often than failing. It leads to hilarious arguments but it's not easy!

Hibachi EN-FR
In Hibachi, players are Japanese teppanyaki chefs who must use their hibachi grill to please hungry customers. To do this, players take turns each round throwing discs (poker chips) onto the board. Where the chips land determines which ingredients the chefs can buy or sell and which special actions they might be able to take. One at a time, the locations on the board are resolved as the chips are turned over to show their hidden values.
You must collect the correct ingredients to cook the required dishes, and if you're the first to complete three orders from customers, you win!

Key Points:

- You're in the directors chair!
How to play:
- 3 players: 5 rounds
- 4 players: 4 rounds
- 5+ players: 3 rounds
Pitches:
During a player's turn, they are a Screenwriter, using the cards in their hand (2-4 cards) to pitch a movie idea to all of the other players, who are called Producers. The player have to come up with a title for the movie they are pitching and convinced the other players to produce the movie.
Now, the Producers individually decide whether to vote for the movie to be made or to vote against it being made by putting a Vote card (yes, yes!, no) facedown. Once all Producers have revealed their Vote cards the votes are tallied. Here are the possible results:
- No: If there are No votes greater than the number of Yes votes, the movie is not made. The Screenwriter discards all of the cards in the movie. All players that voted No now draw 1 Popcorn each and place it facedown in their play area.
- Yes(Yes! Tokens count as 1 Yes vote): If there are Yes votes greater than or equal to the number of No votes the movie is being produced! The Screenwriter gathers up all of the title cards in their movie and places them in order in a pile in front of them, making sure to keep it separate from their other movies. All Producers that revealed a Yes
Vote card, now draw 1 Popcorn token and place it facedown in front of them. All Producers that revealed a Yes! Vote card, now draw 1 Popcorn token for each Title card in the Screenwriter’s movie pitch.
Regardless of the outcome of the vote, all players that voted Yes! remove their Vote card from the game. All other players return their Vote cards to their play area facedown.
Final Cut (end of the game):
All players now total their final score. Players turn all of their Popcorn tokens faceup, gain points equal to the sum of their Popcorn tokens and also gain 1 point for each card in their movies that were made. The player with the most points wins!

CURATORS
Curators is a Euro-style, tile-laying game for 1-4 players in which players build museums and their collections to attract visitors.
Your job as curator is to expand the museum and its collection. With help from your employees you will build new wings and collect objects to put on display in the museum.
The employees are represented by five chips that are used to determine what different actions you may take in the game. Select your action from the face up chips, flip the chip over to show you have used it. This will reveal a different action on the other side which you can use at a later time.
On the other hand, if you ever have two of the same action available on your turn you may choose to double up. This means that on a single turn you can flip two chips and do double the amount of work.
During play you acquire loan contracts for famous objects, like 'the dice tower of a Roman soldier' or 'the skull of the neanderthal man', from other museums. To score the points for these objects you need to complete a tetris like puzzle of color and space matching.
When the game ends only one museum will stand as the victor and take home the 'Museum of the Year Award'.

Recipe for Disaster EN
Are you cool as a cucumber under pressure? Is your games night a bit of a dog’s dinner? Now is the time to put your eggs in one basket with the card game of culinary chaos.
Recipe for Disaster is a new set collection card game with a twist where you will be collecting the necessary ingredients for a dish by any means necessary - Even a hectic, timed dumpster dive!
Once all your ingredients are collected and the bell its rung, its time to get your snake oil pitch on, as each player takes turns to describe which ingredients they've used and why their dish is better than everyone else's!
Once all dishes have been presented, players rate their opponents dishes 1-5 stars, and whoever has the most points is awarded the coveted Golden Turnip Award!
The first player to collect 3 Golden Turnips Wins!
