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?

Your hard work in Micro Dojo drew the eye of the Shogun, but also gained the attention of two rival clans that now try to claim the town for their own.

The Shinchoku clan bring progress and prosperity, whilst the Tsuyo clan cultivate power and corruption.

Pledge your loyalty, earn support, and help your chosen clan come to power.

In Micro Dojo, you represent one of two Daimyos who have been tasked by the Shogun to bring prosperity to a small town. Carefully use the town’s retainers to complete the Shogun’s tasks and win favour. The most prosperous Daimyo will be granted the title to the town.

Micro Dojo is a 20 min tactical euro game for two players, intended to fit comfortably in a pocket or purse. In Micro Dojo, players take control of the Ninja, Samurai, Sumo and Geisha meeples to generate resources, develop the town, and score points by achieving the Shogun’s tasks.

Each turn players move one of the four meeples to an adjacent space and take the action there - either gathering resources, taking a building, or activating a scoring objective. The catch? You can't move the last meeple either you or your opponent moved. The games end when the last objective is triggered, or a player reaches 7 points.

Movement is tight, requiring you to second guess your opponents plan. Timing is crucial, triggering objective scoring only when it benefits you. Like a sparring match, every move should be chosen with precision and efficiency, or your opponent will strike.

Four unknown descendants of the Emperor have deciphered the forgotten legends and called upon the powerful guardian spirits of Oshra. Their ritual unearthed new treasures but also brought greed into the hearts of many. Will the new guardian leaders take over the land, or will the established powers prevail?

This expansion for Hidden Leaders comes with 3 new modules:


A new faction, four leaders, and 20 new heroes. The guardians are a powerful race. Everyone can use them, but use them sparingly or you might make the Guardian Leaders win. This adds a new layer of deduction, a new winning condition and many powerful new abilities to the game.
Artifacts will upgrade your leader character. Each artifact gives the respective player a unique ability that can be used 2-3 times during the game. This gives every player a unique play style and exclusive strategic options.
A bag full of nasty corruption tokens. Two times during the game, a wave of corruption allows you to secretly change the alliance of your heroes or the heroes of your friends. But be careful: some of these changes are dangerous traps that players can use to protect their heroes from attacks of their friends.

Easter is finally here and the annual egg-hunt is a long-awaited favourite for both young and old. Sharpen your sight, be the fastest egg hunter and above all - loot the most candy. Let the adventures found in Easter Quest begin!

In Easter Quest, each turn begins by revealing a card that depict an egg that matches an egg token somewhere in the forest (on the game board). All eggs appear to look the same but they actually differ slightly. The faster you locate the right egg token, the more likely you are to reach it before anyone else.

The game comes with both a basic and an advanced variant.

In the basic variant (children's variant) you will also need luck with the roll the dice and choose smart paths to be successful.

In the advanced variant (family variant) you need to find the shortest path AND count the correct number of steps, before anyone else, to be successful. Do not forget that you can "warp" by leaving the game board at one end and enter it at the other side.

The first player to reach the egg gets to loot it by drawing a candy token from the bag. The player with most candy win (as in real life).

The perfect game to play during Easter, or on any other day of the year.

Thousands of years ago, near the end of the ice age,
humans once again dwelt on fertile land. But a new challenge awaits!
The ice is still melting, and that fertile land will soon be flooded. All living creatures must escape to the mountains.
Your engravings and cave paintings will stand the test of
time, and the skills you have honed will be passed on to your descendants. It's up to you to leave your "footprints on the ground" for the generations to come.

Maneuver your clan through difficult terrain, improve your skills to advance more efficiently, gather needed resources, make cave paintings and engravings at important sites, and use your leader to inspire your clan beyond their limits, while trying to reach the cairns on the horizon before time runs out...

Footprints is a competitive game with asymmetric player powers (each player has their own clan deck) and variable setup through a modular game board. Your abilities in route planning, skill improvement (engine building), and hand management will increase your chances of winning the game.

The game can be played solo.
