Faith: A Garden in Hell Starter Set
(3-5 Players/7-10 sessions)
Faith: A Garden in Hell is a campaign for 3-5 players and 7-10 sessions. Everything needed to play the game is included in the box.
Background. The fragile truce between the Iz'kal and the Corvo had been compromised by a series of murderous attacks on far away settlements. Mutually Assured Destruction was days away as both species laid blame on each other... when the Battle of Izuan Tai shook the groundwork of the known Universe. It was the first big blow the legendary species of the Ravager would deliver to civilisation, but it wouldn't be the last. A new menace had awoken from a long sleep.
A Garden in Hell takes place 23 years after the Battle of Izuan Tai, where the rival Iz'Kal and Corvo species joined forces to stop the mutual threat and formed The Coalition. This entity has now become a "third state" independent of both the Iz'Kal and the Corvo, with emergency powers over all areas threatened by the Ravager.
On its last military council, the Coalition high command agreed it was time to leave their defensive stand and strike back in full force to capture a Ravager Queen. At first, the attack was a thundering success, but when the injured Ravager Queen entered the Labyrinth only your group was able to chase her unscathed deep into Ravager territory...

Dungeons and Dragons: Rise of the Dungeon Master (Novel)
HACHETTE BOOK GROUP USA
Rise of the Dungeon Master tells, in graphic form, the story of Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, one of the most influential games ever made. Like the game itself, the narrative casts the reader into the adventure from a first person point of view, taking on the roles of the different characters in the story. Gygax, an imaginative misfit, escaped into a virtual world based on science fiction novels, military history, and strategic games like chess. In the mid-1970s, he co-created the wildly popular Dungeons & Dragons game, determining the rules and inventing the signature 20-sided dice. With D&D, Gygax created the kind of roleplaying fantasy that would fuel the multi-billion dollar video game industry, and become a foundation of contemporary geek culture.

Android Netrunner: Earth's Scion
Who will control Mars? Every day, the Big Four insinuate more of their products, services, management, and agendas into every aspect of Martian life, and in Earth's Scion, the third Data Pack in the "Red Sand Cycle" for Android: Netrunner, we watch as they spread more fully across the whole of the red planet. This leads to heightened tensions between Martian Corps, Runners, and Clans, and the sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) from Earth's Scion reveal just how far they may go in order to see their competing visions come to pass.

Shahrazad: Stories Unfurl
(1-2 Players/10 mins.)
タロットストーリア (Tarot Storia) is a game for one player playing solitaire or for two players playing co-operatively. The game is published in a Japanese / English edition.
In the game, the player starts with one hand card, then draws a second. From these two, they play a card to the tableau. Cards are played touching, in columns left or right but shifted halfway up or down. In the one payer game, a column is restricted to 4 cards, in the two player, the limit is 3 cards. Alternately, you may exchange a played card with a hand card. But next turn, after drawing, you must play down two cards so your hand is back down to one before drawing.
Once all the cards are played, cards are turned face-down if any card on its right is of a lower number. Then the player tries to find paths in the tableau from the far left to the far right side. Think of this as telling the story. Any cards that are not part of a valid path are also turned down.
Now you score for colour groups, and deduct points for face-down cards and gaps in the tableau. After keeping a column, shuffle the deck over and play a second round to get your final score and the King's opinion!
For two players, it's the same with both players working a hand of two each. You cannot consult about which card to play, but after choosing, you may confer about placing. The final score this time reflects a test of your friendship.
Publisher's summary:
"You shall be rewarded if your tale amuses me."
The eccentric king issued the edict to all over the country. You are a bard who is willing to take up that challenge. You have to make up a tale by mixing stories in the world and enchant the king with the tale.
With beautifully illustrated 22 tarot cards with four background colours, this card game demands you make a succession of tough decisions. You will be excited to see how the storyline barely keeps consistency.
Basically, you play a card from two cards in your hand each turn. When you have played all cards, the first round ends and you score according to the card positions. With some of these cards remaining in play, the game proceeds to the second round in the same way. The total of two rounds is your final score.

Rush & Bash
(2-6 Players/30 mins.))
Rush & Bash is a fast-paced game about a crazy race set in the same world of games like Vudù, GodZ, and the Super Fantasy series.
Players take turns by playing a card from their hand, and the card will grant them an optional special effect (launching missiles, dropping bombs, repairing the car, changing lane, charging a special ability) and a movement value in a straight line. Players can also unleash their special abilities, that may allow them to play more cards or activate special effects.
There are two types of cards, and players draw them according to their position on the racing track, keeping the game always balanced and uncertain until the end.
There is also a "championship mode" that allows players to customize their cars and play multiple races.
The board is modular and is made by twelve cardboard terrains, all with unique effects and obstacles, including various 3D elements like bridges, volcanoes and wild creatures.

Steam has started emerging from one of the test tubes, and they've all gotten dizzy to the point of passing out. When they awaken, they discover that the door is locked and no other way out seems possible. Only a notebook and an enigmatic spinning code dial seem to offer any clues for how to escape the lab...
In EXIT: The Game - The Secret Lab, players must use their team spirit, creativity, and powers of deduction to crack codes, solve puzzles, collect objects, and earn their freedom bit by bit.

One Deck Dungeon
(1-2 Players/30-45 mins.)
One Deck Dungeon is a card game "roguelike" - a dungeon delve that is different every time, difficult to survive, with a character you build up from scratch. The deck consists of various foes to combat and other perils from the dungeon. Each card, though, depicts both the obstacle to overcome and the potential rewards for doing so. When you defeat a card, you claim it as either experience, an item, or a skill, tucking it under the appropriate side of your character card to show its benefits.
The longer you take exploring the dungeon, the deeper you'll delve, and the difficulty will scale up quickly! If you make it far enough, you'll have to fight the dungeon boss. Survive, and you'll be a legend!
One Deck Dungeon is designed for 1-2 players. With multiple sets, you can add more players.
