40-card Ecosfera Expansion. Face unpredictable situations that will change the rules of the game.

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.

A family blackjack in the Kyoto No Neko game universe.

Illimat has the style and flavor of a classic card game with a dynamic twist. As you play, you combine cards and collect them, trying to gather more than your opponents. But hidden Luminaries and changing seasons can alter your plans. Featuring a cloth board, metal tokens, and illustrations by Carson Ellis.

Illimat supports two to four players and a single round takes approximately fifteen minutes. The cloth board is divided into four fields, and the box the game comes in is also a component of the game: it sits in the center of the board and sets the seasons for each field, which affects the actions that can be performed in each field. Turning the box and changing the seasons is a critical part of the strategy of the game.

Illimat has been playtested with devoted gamers and people who haven't played a game in years. The result is a game that's easy to learn, dynamic, and just a little bit addictive.

When hungry Numbsters form a line, arrange them well and you’ll be fine. But when they all begin to munch, avoid the Mouth or you’ll be lunch!

Numbsters is a solo game that can be played in your hand or on a table. Each of the hungry Numbsters features a number and special ability. Starting with a stack of 6 random Numbsters (plus the Mouth card) you’ll need to eat, move, and manipulate your way to victory. If you can get down to just one Numbster and the Mouth remaining in your hand, you win!

HOW TO PLAY

Each turn, draw a new Numbster into your hand, placing it at the top of the stack.

Next, you may move one card to a different position in the stack OR swap any two cards’ positions.

Lastly, it’s feeding time: one Numbster must eat another one.

Typically, this requires two sequential Numbsters (for example, 16 and 17) separated only by the Mouth card. The smaller Numbster in the sequence can eat the bigger one, discarding it and starting a new turn.

Of course, these Numbsters are odd creatures. Each one has an optional special ability that changes how the other Numbsters eat, allowing for powerful plays and big bites!

The ability on the top Numbster in the stack is considered active while showing; when it’s used, that Numbster slides to the bottom of the stack. But be careful – if at any point the Mouth card reaches the top of the stack, it triggers its game-ending special ability…and eats YOU!

It was supposed to be an easy job, investigating this abandoned mansion. Suddenly a shot rings out in the darkness, the bullet shattering the plaster behind you. Turns out someone is here as well, and only one of you is leaving alive.

Revolver Noir is game for two players that puts you in the shoes of a private eye stuck in a dark mansion with an unknown hostile. Using a combination of detective work and calculated shots in the dark, your goal is to track down your enemy and put an end to them – before they do the same to you.


Finalist (top 3) of Button Shy's 18 Card Challenge: Design a game that doesn't use a table or surface.


Setup

Give one player all the John Doe cards, and the other all the Jane Doe cards.
Each player chooses one room in which to start, then places the rest of their cards behind it in their hand. The visible card is your current location.


The turn alternates between players. On your turn, you have Action Points, which you can spend to perform actions like moving, shooting, listening, setting traps, and use the room effect.

Use Room Effect
Most rooms in Revolver Noir have a unique effect, which can be used only while you are in that room. To trigger this effect, reveal your location, then follow the instructions on your room card.

Winning the Game
The objective is simple. To win, you’ll have to hit your opponent twice.

Slay the Spire: The Board Game is a co-operative deck-building adventure. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and finally become strong enough to slay the Spire!

You are an amateur dracologist in the world of Wyrmspan, a place where dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors roam the skies. Excavate a hidden labyrinth you recently unearthed on your land and entice these beautiful creatures to roost in the sanctuary of your caves.

During a game of Wyrmspan, you will build a sanctuary for dragons of all shapes and sizes. Your sanctuary begins with 3 excavated spaces—the leftmost space in your Crimson Cavern, your Golden Grotto, and your Amethyst Abyss. Over the course of the game, you will excavate additional spaces in your sanctuary and entice dragons to live there, chaining together powerful abilities and earning the favor of the Dragon Guild.

Wyrmspan is inspired by the mechanisms of Wingspan, though its unique elements make Wyrmspan a standalone game (not compatible with Wingspan).
