Team-Based Game

Laurie Strode needs your help – get her some medicine, or a wheelchair, or... why did the lights just go out?

In this 1-versus-many game based on Halloween II, you'll need to run around the board to accomplish your objectives while Michael stalks you from the darkness. Michael will track his movement secretly on a separate board, revealing his location only when he is seen by your character... or when he attacks! Co-operation is key, so you'd better get moving before it's too late.

Myers wins by killing enough characters (players respawn with a new character but lose their items), or preventing the others from winning for long enough. The other players win by getting the objective cards and escaping in a vehicle, or dealing enough damage to Myers to incapacitate him.

This stand-alone game uses the same core system as Halloween from Trick or Treat Studios, with added optional rules for Michael to harm Laurie. The map, player powers, and most of the cards are new. These elements can be swapped between the games.

A high stakes, 3D heist game!

Everyone at the table is a career criminal eyeing retirement. Whether you’re the mastermind or hired hand, you want to get involved in as many jobs as possible and make as much money as you can. Walk away from a series of jewel heists as the winner with the most money by cooperating with other burglars to break into a vault. Work together to physically move “padlocks” using tiny hands and steal the jewels they’re protecting. The harder the heist, the bigger the payout – whoever ends up with the most money wins.

During each turn of Tiny Laser Heist, a player becomes the Mastermind and selects his team. Players not selected now play against the team to stop the heist. Both teams play action cards to determine the teams abilities and obstacles the team must face during the heist. The team then has 90 seconds to steal the jewels. If the you do, the Mastermind picks up and distributes money cards to his team members. Play continues until all the money is gone.

Secret Hitler is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in 1930s Germany. Each player is randomly and secretly assigned to be a liberal or a fascist, and one player is Secret Hitler. The fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader; the liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it's too late. The liberal team always has a majority.

At the beginning of the game, players close their eyes, and the fascists reveal themselves to one another. Secret Hitler keeps his eyes closed, but puts his thumb up so the fascists can see who he is. The fascists learn who Hitler is, but Hitler doesn't know who his fellow fascists are, and the liberals don't know who anyone is.

Each round, players elect a President and a Chancellor who will work together to enact a law from a random deck. If the government passes a fascist law, players must try to figure out if they were betrayed or simply unlucky. Secret Hitler also features government powers that come into play as fascism advances. The fascists will use those powers to create chaos unless liberals can pull the nation back from the brink of war.

The objective of the liberal team is to pass five liberal policies or assassinate Secret Hitler. The objective of the fascist team is to pass six fascist policies or elect Secret Hitler chancellor after three fascist policies have passed.

Codenames: The Simpsons combines the hit social word game Codenames, while featuring characters and locations from thirty years of The Simpsons.

In Codenames, two teams — Team Homer and Team Bart — compete to see who can guess all of their "field agents" (identified by either a word or picture) correctly first — but those field agents are hiding in plain sight in a 5x5 grid that includes the agents of the other team, neutral words, and an assassin that will cause you to lose the game immediately if you guess it. One person on each team is a spymaster and only these two know which agents belong to each team. Spymasters take turns giving one-word clues that can help their teammates identify multiple agents on the board. Their teammates try to guess agents of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team — and everyone wants to avoid the assassin.

Blockbuster Returns, the sequel to Big Potato’s 2019 The Blockbuster Game, can be played as a standalone or combined with the original game for big-budget fun!

Blockbuster Returns features four brand-new categories of Movie Cards (Heart Warmers, From Another World, Not for Kids, and Remakes & Reboots) and new Head-to-Head Cards. To play, open up your VHS box, flip open the gameboard, and split into two teams.

First, face off in the Head-to-Head Buzzer Round. One player from each team tries to think of a movie title to match the description on the Head-to-Head category card (e.g. “Movies where someone got lost”) before the 15-second timer runs out, hitting the buzzer to put the ball back in their opponent’s
court. The first person to run out of time loses this round.

Next, in Triple Charades Jeopardy, it’s time to see how well you know your movies! Each player gets three Movie Cards and has 30 seconds to get their team to guess all the movies using one of three methods— using just one word, quoting a line from the film, or acting it out. When a team gets one right, they add the card to their collection. The first team to grab two cards from all four categories wins!

The game contains 100 Movie Cards, 30 Head-to-Head Cards, and 1 gameboard. “Big Potato Buzzer”available for free download on the App Store or Google Play.

Can be combined with The Blockbuster Party Game for a mega-game.
