Adventure

Beautiful glow-worm, shimmer, shimmer!
Shine your light brightly through pain so glum,
Follow love's arrow along the thum,
Ne'er mind life's sorrows, lest you succumb
For dear friend would you become?
Oh, glow-worm getting dimmer, dimmer.

Prince Collin and his friends defeated Vanestra and thought evil had been banished from the castle forever. But deep within those scorched and shadow-haunted halls, something is moving that should not be. A malicious presence has taken root, and it has hatched a scheme that will ensnare the Prince and his friends and will forever change the course of history for the mouse-town of Barksburg.

The storybook in Mice and Mystics: Heart of Glorm picks up right after the events of Sorrow and Remembrance, letting you and your friends continue the story of Prince Collin, Maginos, Tilda, Nez, Filch and Lily. Included in this expansion are new plastic figures, cards, and counters, as well as a new series of chapters sure to test your mettle! And joining the heroes is Nere, a wild mystic who brings her powerful magic and knowledge of alchemy to the battle.

You are an explorer making your way along the darkened passages of a pyramid in search of treasures from ancient Egypt. However, no attention has been paid to the tales of Ammut, also known as the "Eater of Hearts", of "The Devourer". Will you be able to make your discoveries before being caught by this creature - whose body was a dreaded combination of crocodile and hippopotamus? It needs skill, as well as a little luck to collect the treasures and exit the pyramid alive!

Based on the popular web-comic, Order of the Stick.
Why just read about foolish and incompetent adventurers when you can be one yourself? Dive head first into the world of the inexplicably popular fantasy gaming webcomic. Take on the role of one of the six daring adventurers as you explore each room of the mysterious Dungeon of Dorukan in this hilarious satire of the fantasy genre. But beware, for the evil undead sorcerer Xykon awaits you at the bottom of the dungeon, and he has nothing better to do than focus on wiping the floor with your sorry butt.

The deluxe version released September 2011 supersedes the base game, Dungeon of Dorukan (no longer published) and contains both the base game and the expansion the Shortening in one box.

It is the early 20th Century, and the great museums of Europe and America compete for artifacts from around the world in order to fill their museums with the most prestigious exhibitions. In Artifact, players are archaeologists researching sites around the globe to search for artifacts, which are then shipped back to the museums in order to produce exhibitions that increase funding for future digs and earn prestige to win the game. Actions and funds are limited, however, and competition is fierce. Sometimes it is even necessary to deal on the black market in order to generate extra income or to acquire the one artifact that will complete a valuable exhibition.

The player who earns the most prestige points through producing exhibitions and managing his budget best wins the game.

Artifact is a rich gaming experience that provides players with many options to think about. In order to make it easier to learn the game, the rules have been separated into the Base Game, followed by rules for the two expansions that, when added, make up the Complete Game. The game can be played and enjoyed as the base game or by including any one of the expansions, but the complete game is highly recommended for experienced players.

The universe is about to collapse, and your final hope lies in an ancient mysterious artifact, the Ovoid. Whoever controls this "cosmic egg" can shape the birthing of the next universe according to their own agenda. Players are secret agents from a handful of surviving worlds, zipping from planet to planet in special “amnion suits” that allow for interstellar travel, space combat and planetary landings.

Each planet has its own envelope of cards. When you arrive on a planet, you decide which cards you want to take and which to leave behind. Knowledge is the most powerful resource in the game, and being able to predict the cards your opponents possess at any given time is a powerful advantage as you build up a handful of weapons, tactical gear, vaults and traps, as well as cards that counter your opponents' cards. The best players will keep their hand fluid, constantly changing tactics while they search from world to world for the Ovoid or find a safe place to stash it.

Balance your hand of cards, spend your turn actions wisely, and cleverly use your special alien powers to stay one step ahead of your opponents. When the Chaos Clock reaches zero, only the player who possesses the Ovoid will become master of the new universe.

Per the Website: "A hand-management strategy game of spying, hoarding, deceiving, stashing & sneaking, all as the last seconds of the universe tick away."
