A witch named Hester was hung, burned, and buried under a tree. Some time later, the family of Hester come to Harrow County to destroy it, but standing in their way is eighteen-year-old Emmy who mysteriously has powers of her own.

In the asymmetric combat game Harrow County: The Game of Gothic Conflict, players can play as one of the Protectors, trying to rescue townsfolk, or as one of the family, trying to destroy Harrow County. You can instead play as a third faction that originates from the surprise return of Emmy's twin sister, Kammi, who wants to rule Harrow County. Players activate mason jars to move their haints (undead creatures) around the hex-based board as they try to accomplish their missions. Combat is resolved using a never-before-seen cube tower that's built into the actual box.

Finally, a third player can enter the game: Hester, the dead witch buried under the tree. She controls the roots of the tree and using the cube tower, Hester can infect haints on her roots, which causes a snake to be placed into its ear. That player can still control this haint, but now so can Hester. If Hester comes back to life, then she needs to eat the other legends to gain all her power back to win.

In short, Harrow County is a thematic, tactical game of territory control and enemy elimination to determine the fate of Harrow County.

From the creators of Cyanide & Happiness comes a card game where players compete to finish an awful comic strip.

The creators said:

"Someone on the Internet once told us that making stick figure comics is easy as hell, and that we were ugly and stupid.

They were right on all counts. So, after crying for a few hours, we created the Random Comic Generator which since its inception in 2014 has entertained millions with its computer-generated comedy.

After a few weeks of playing with the Random Comic Generator, we started to wonder if its hundreds of random panels might lend themselves to a card game, where you compete against your friends to finish a comic with a funny punchline. So we printed out all of the RCG panels and started playing with them."

Alors que l’ancien empire sombre dans le chaos et la ruine, ses armées gigantesques se sont dissoutes en d’innombrables compagnies de mercenaires. Craignant pour leur sécurité, les seigneurs et les chefs déclarent leur indépendance et fortifient leurs possessions.

Aujourd’hui, les terres impériales sont à nouveau déchirées car chacun de ces royaumes naissants se bat pour avoir la priorité sur son voisin.

Poussé par une envie de richesse, d’influence ou de pouvoir, vous prendrez la tête d’un de ces clans, engagerez de vastes armées de mercenaires et prendrez d’assaut les murs des forteresses de vos ennemis !

The King is on vacation. He entrusted the city and its treasure to the prince. The brigands know it and intend to fill their pockets.. or at least try! Will you play prince or brigand?

Brigands is an asymetrical game of deduction and trickery that pits a prince against rival bands of brigands. The prince must protect the coffers of the city against brigands. If no brigand succeeds in stealing 50 Ducats from the kingdom at the end of the 6 game turns, the prince is victorious! Otherwise, the richest bandit wins.

On a turn, each player will send their 3 crew members to the districts of their choice. The choice is secret and simultaneous. When everyone has set their mind, it's time to reveal choices and place every crew member in the city. If a prince's crew is on the same district as a brigand's crew, thieves are arrested before they could hope to get richer. Otherwise, they will be able to plunder the district. Each district allows looting the treasure in a unique way. Be careful, if someone has played an action token on the district in the beginning of their turn, they will be able to steal or push other player's crew, or maybe to run to another district at the last minute. Once in jail, thieves can choose to await trial or attempt to escape.

The prince player will improve their skills during the game to better recover their treasure or better trap brigands.

On the day when the last snowflake of winter has melted away, all of the critters emerge from their cozy homes to celebrate...and that day is today! Maple Valley's annual Spring Festival is a gathering of friends welcoming the warm months ahead, and you don't have a lot of time to prepare!

While the adults get the village into shape, the youngest (and swiftest) forest animals from each den are sent scrambling through the blossoming woods, completing the last-second tasks that will make the Festival a success. The trails aren't always clear; you'll need to climb, swim, and dig your way to the most bountiful groves, forage for fresh spring ingredients to help villagers complete their errands, and unearth curiosities that will attract skillful scouts to your growing team. The sun will set before you know it; will it be your hard work that makes this year's Festival the best one ever?

Set in the delightful world of Creature Comforts, Maple Valley is a game of traveling trails, finding friends, and celebrating new beginnings for 1-5 critters.

PARTY GAME RIKKI TAHTA BGG

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!

Micro Bots is a strategic duelling game where you must outmanoeuvre, and outwit, your opponent. Card effects (attacking, moving, etc.) become more powerful based on the number of cards you have previously placed. So the order you play your cards determines your strategy - do you hold back your big attacks for maximum firepower, or deplete your opponent’s defences with a first strike?
