Protect your sheep from bhaaaad wolves!!

In Wolf & Hound, you become a shepherd in French Alps where wolves are becoming a problem, chasing your sheep away from your pasture. It is up to your reliable hound to go find your lost sheep and bring them back!

The game is played as a 2 versus 2 partnership game. Your goal is to protect you and your partner’s sheep from being chased away by the hungry wolves. You will win the game if one of your opponents loses all his or her sheep first.

How it works: each Anaxi word card has a different word on it – these words are commonly used in everyday life. Each round, draw 3 Anaxi word cards and overlap them.

All players work at the same time and have 1 minute to write down as many people, places, or things that share overlapping qualities. Players with original and unique answers score points.

Imhotep. The legendary architect of the Egyptian monuments. His awe-inspiring structures and brutal tactics earned him divine status among ancient Egyptians. Can you match his ruthless determination to build the most revered monuments? To do this, you will need to transport stone blocks on ships from your quarry to different construction sites. But you alone do not choose where the ships go. Your opponents have monumental plans of their own and want to prevent your success.

Feed the Shoggoth! is a devious and fast-paced card game, in which players each control a different cult faction, facing a very angry and hungry Shoggoth in the middle of the table.

Players earn points and win the game by sacrificing Minions from their cult to the Shoggoth. However the Shoggoth is indiscriminate in whom it eats; if you can’t feed the Shoggoth on your turn with a Minion, it eats you, and you’re out of the game!

It’s time to build the… best treehouse ever! You’ve got 3 weeks to make your childhood dreams come true in this fast-playing, easy to learn game.

The Law and the Outlaws finally confront each other, and their shootout will be full of surprises! Each side has two gunslingers in the field at a time: one on the frontlines and one as the rearguard. If you're careful how you position them, and use their abilities wisely, you'll be the winner of the duel... when you make your enemies bite the dust. 

Many are the paths to power: brute force, subtle deception, cunning trickery. You hold the cards… but you can’t keep them all. What will you collect for personal gain? And what are you willing to give up in order to destroy? The Ravens are gathering, many of whom used to be rivals. Will you rise to power or simply be “Nevermore”.

J.F.K. died after Joan of Arc, that’s for sure. He probably had the chance to see the original King Kong movie in theaters… but was he able to see Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, or eat fast food?
 
These are the kinds of questions you’ll be faced with in Timeline. Each turn, you’ll play one of your cards. There is only one goal here; to correctly play all of your cards.

Armadöra is a magical land, known for its abundance of treasure and peril. It’s plentiful Dwarven gold mines are frequently targets of raids from the neighboring factions of Elves, Wizards, Orcs, and Goblins. So, if you want to take your share of treasure, you will have to lay claim to the land by placing your palisades and warriors so that your forces outnumber those of your opponents.
