Team-Based Game

Welcome to the wild, weird world of FANTASTIQA!

Fantastiqa is a deck-building board game set in a fantastical landscape of dark forests, mist-shrouded highlands, and frozen wastes. As you and your foes journey around the board, you will subdue strange creatures and fulfill fabulous quests.

Each creature you encounter has both an ability and a vulnerability. By playing card symbols to which a creature is vulnerable, you can subdue it and recruit it as an ally. Each creature you defeat is added to your expanding deck of cards, making its special ability into an ability of your own! A defeated Enchantress will wield her beguiling charms to help you overcome wandering Knights. Knights in turn subdue Dragons, adding their fiery breath to your cause. By combining the powers of different creatures you can fulfill curious quests, for example:

Send forth your Rabbits of Unusual Size to Nibble Through the Violin Strings of the Violent Vampire Volnar!
Deploy a party of web-slinging Spiders to String a Bridge Across the Chasm of Chaos!
Send your Dragons and Vampire Bats together on a mission to Ignite the Whisker-Wick'd Candle Guarded by the Ice Cats of Kituviel!

Some of the creatures you encounter carry precious gems, which you can spend to purchase powerful artifacts or to summon mythical beasts to your aid. You begin with a handful of household items, but you will grow in power as you adventure and gather allies! By completing quests you score victory points and claim other special rewards. The board changes every time you play, so prepare for a new, exciting adventure each time you enter the world of Fantastiqa!

Fantastiqa is easy to learn but challenging to master – a game for families and gamers alike. Additional simplified rules are included for beginners and children.

The components are lavishly illustrated with fine art by Caspar David Friedrich, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Arthur Rackham, John William Waterhouse, John Bauer, Edward Burne-Jones, Francisco Goya, and others.

Playing Nemesis will take you into the heart of sci-fi survival horror in all its terror. A soldier fires blindly down a corridor, trying to stop the alien advance. A scientist races to find a solution in his makeshift lab. A traitor steals the last escape pod in the very last moment. Intruders you meet on the ship are not only reacting to the noise you make but also evolve as the time goes by. The longer the game takes, the stronger they become. During the game, you control one of the crew members with a unique set of skills, personal deck of cards, and individual starting equipment. These heroes cover all your basic SF horror needs. For example, the scientist is great with computers and research, but will have a hard time in combat. The soldier, on the other hand...

Nemesis is a semi-cooperative game in which you and your crewmates must survive on a ship infested with hostile organisms. To win the game, you have to complete one of the two objectives dealt to you at the start of the game and get back to Earth in one piece. You will find many obstacles on your way: swarms of Intruders (the name given to the alien organisms by the ship AI), the poor physical condition of the ship, agendas held by your fellow players, and sometimes just cruel fate.

The gameplay of Nemesis is designed to be full of climactic moments which, hopefully, you will find rewarding even when your best plans are ruined and your character meets a terrible fate.

The game is played over 15 rounds, where players will simultaneously answer one question at a time.

There are three types of questions: Fill in the Blank, This or That, and Multiple Choice. To set up the game, randomly choose 5 cards from each type and shuffle them.

Everyone will be asked the same question, then writes down their responses at the same time. All players with the winning answer join the Green Team and score points. If your answer is not the most popular among the other players, then you join the Orange Team and score zero points for that round. Players joining the Green Team from the Orange Team will score one point. Players who are on the Green Team and stay on it will earn two points.

But it's not about having the best answer, or the smartest answer, or the funniest answer. Only the most popular answer wins - the one that the most players at the table wrote down.

To win, get on the Green Team, stay on the Green Team, and win - because that's what the Green Team does. They win.

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.
