When an unscrupulous business magnate meets an undignified end, a fierce competition for his estate begins.

In Hoax, three to six players each take on the secret identity of a member of Vargas’ family or household. No matter what your identity, your goal is to eliminate all your competitors by catching them in a lie – but making a false accusation will take you out of the game. If you want to make informed accusations, you must amass resources and spend them to investigate other players. To win, you have to both avoid accusations and judiciously make them, all the while making your opponents believe that all your lies are true. Whoever is devious enough to outlast all the other players wins!

Spyfall is a party game unlike any other, one in which you get to be a spy and try to understand what's going on around you. It's really simple!

Spyfall is played over several rounds, and at the start of each round all players receive cards showing the same location — except that one player receives a card that says "Spy" instead of the location. Players then start asking each other questions — "Why are you dressed so strangely?" or "When was the last time we got a payday?" or anything else you can come up with — trying to guess who among them is the spy. The spy doesn't know where he is, so he has to listen carefully. When it's his time to answer, he'd better create a good story!

At any time during a round, one player may accuse another of being a spy. If all other players agree with the accusation, the round ends and the accused player has to reveal his identity. If the spy is uncovered, all other players score points. However, the spy can himself end a round by announcing that he understands what the secret location is; if his guess is correct, only the spy scores points.

After a few rounds of guessing, suspicion and bluffing, the game ends and whoever has scored the most points is victorious!

Spyfall 2 features the same gameplay as Spyfall with two important changes: (1) Enough location cards are included that the upper player count is now twelve instead of eight, and (2) two spies can be found at each location, giving all of the non-spy players more of a challenge when it comes to tracking down who doesn't belong.

Description from the publisher:

The largest, richest, and most diverse city on Earth, New Angeles is home to the Space Elevator that rises along its buckyweave tether and connects us to Luna and its invaluable Helium-3 deposits. It is here, in New Angeles, that you'll find the global headquarters for the worlds' most powerful megacorps: Haas-Bioroid, Globalsec, Jinteki, Melange Mining, NBN, and the Weyland Consortium. And it is here, in this shining beacon of human achievement and advancement, that these powerful megacorps enjoy a uniquely fertile breeding ground for their projects and their rivalries.

In New Angeles, you gain control of one of these megacorporations, then you use your wealth and influence to create more wealth and more influence. To do this, you cut deals and forge temporary alliances. You leverage your credits and assets to gain financial superiority over your corporate rivals. All the while, you also need to keep an eye toward the masses, striking deals with the other corps as necessary in order to keep a lid on crime, disease, and unrest. If you want to maximize your profit, you need to keep New Angeles open for business!

The death-dodging party game.

When the shit hits the fan you need a plan. Escape from seriously bad situations with the help of seriously useless objects.

Ever wondered what you’d do if you woke up buried alive in an airtight coffin? Or you discover you had an alien parasite in your stomach? Well, we have. And we’ve made it into a delightfully dark party game.

Bucket of Doom is a card based game in a hot pink toxic bucket. Players take it in turns to share their daring escape from impending doom using one of their personal object cards to escape. Players vote for their favourite story, best plan wins.

The game consists of three to 10 players who are randomly paired up by the unique Player Assignment Cards( included in the game). Paired players then argue topics such as "Who would win in a fight, Mary Poppins or Judge Judy?" or "What is more nerve-wracking: a first date or a job interview?" The non-arguing players then vote on who they felt argued best, each vote equaling a point for the arguing players. After every player has argued twice, whoever has the most points wins the game.

"What's fun is that the Player Assignment Cards also determine which side of the argument you must take, even if you do not agree with that side," says White. "So, for instance, if you can't stand rap music, you may be put in the position to argue why you think rap music is great for society. This can be quite entertaining."

Included with Argue is 1,000 topics, a precision timer and 100 optional Distraction Cards. These can be used to make arguing more of a challenge by causing players to perform outrageous stunts, such as arguing "while smelling your left shoe" or arguing "while jumping up and down for 15 seconds."
