Board Games
Ethnos
The land of Ethnos contains twelve tribes of fantasy creatures, and in each game you choose 6 of them , 5 in a 2/3 player game, then create a deck using only those creatures in those tribes. The cards come in six colors, which match the six regions of Ethnos. Place three glory tokens in each region, arranging them from low to high. Each player starts with one card in hand, the 4-12 cards are placed face up in front of you. On a turn, a player will recruit an ally or play a band of allies. In the former case, you take a face-up card (without replacing it from the deck) or the top card of the deck and add it to your hand. In the latter case, you choose a set of cards in your hand that match either in tribe or in color, play them in front of you on the table, then discard all other cards in hand. You then place one or more tokens in the region that matches the color of the top card just played, and you use the power of the tribe member on the top card just played. The player with the most glory tokens wins!
Unfair
Over the course of 8 rounds, build the best theme park whatever it takes! You can combine your favorite themes from pirates, ninjas, robots, and many more. Watch out though, competitors may pay off the safety inspectors to close your rides or hire hooligans to vandalize your park! You can play event cards to help yourself or hinder your opponents, building and upgrading using park cards, and match your park to blueprints. Your goal is to build the highest-scoring park at game end by either: matching your park to the blueprints, build tall attractions with lots of upgrades, or old fashion cash.
Quartz
You belong to a group of dwarves who just discovered a new mine on their land, and in the excitement of the discovery, you make a bet. Everyone will explore the mine for five days. At the end of each day, you will sell in the city the crystals you extracted during this day. At the end of the fifth day, the dwarf who earned the most money will become the only owner of the mine, the winner. Each turn a player has three actions: extract a crystal (pull a crystal from the bag), play a card that either aids you or hinders your opponents, and leave the mine and cash in. This is new to us.
Dalek dice
You are a dalek invading Earth to EXTERMINATE the humans! Each turn, you roll the 10 custom dice. The number of humans you roll is how many points you’ll earn at the end of the turn, but only if you roll as many dalek dice. You can push your luck and re-roll some of the dice to try to roll more Humans or more Daleks, but all the time you must be careful not to roll too many Doctor symbols – if you accumulate too many you’ll lose the game and score nothing! This is new to us.
Batman dice
Based on the award-winning TV show, Batman: The Animated Series Dice Game’ lets you become a Super-Villain in a press-your-luck game for the whole family. Roll the dice and take advantage of each villain’s diabolical abilities to scheme your way to victory before getting busted by Batman! This is new to us.
Spoils of War
The raid is over, and the victorious Vikings gather in the chieftain’s tent to divide the spoils of war! Each round, 3-5 players roll dice, the cleverly bluff and bet to outwit their fellow Vikings. The winners of each round gets to claim the fantastic treasures to add to their collection. No one knows who will win until the last treasure is claimed and the spoils are counted!
Purrrlock Homes
Help Purrrlock get closer to the bewhiskered baddie that’s been bullying all of Baker Street! Each player draws a hidden suspect card. Payers take turn making guesses using a “clock” mechanism about their unknown suspect’s identity. Figure out enough leads to deduce the suspect’s identity, and you get to snag a clue that leads to Furriarty. Each clue is labeled with a variable number of victory points. Every round, Furriarty pads his way closer to escape, putting tension on the players to guess to solve the case. If you can deduce enough suspects and collect enough paw print tokens, you may be able to overtake Furriarty before he scrams.
Magic the Gathering

Harbour
A worker placement game where players move their worker from building to building, collecting and trading fish, livestock, wood, and stone.Players cashing those resources in to purchase buildings which are the worker placement spots. Once a building is purchased, it is replaced from the deck thus making the game different every time. After a player places their fourth building, that will be the last round and the person with the most points wins! Each time a player purchases a building, the value of the resources they used drops, while the value of the other resources rises. This is new to us!
Dragon Farkle
To play, you gather an army of loyal soldiers or steal them from your opponents, hire suspicious-looking companions and gain allegedly useful items (most of which aren’t even cursed), then fight that dragon you’ve heard so much about! To play Farkle, you roll 6 dice to recruit an army or brawl against your enemies. After that, you can use the magic items that you have picked up and the army you recruited to fight that big and mean dragon! This is also new to us!

Board Games
Welcome to the Dungeon
A game that is a push-your-luck dungeon delve. 2-4 players take turns essentially daring each other to go into a dungeon with less equipment than they start off with while filling the dungeon with monsters. Each player has a 2-sided players card that has a white side and a red side. The first win taps the player card and the 1st loss flips the card over to the red side. A 2nd loss will have the player turn the card back into the box. Each round, the start player (the person who challenged the dungeon last or the last player to be in a dungeon) can choose to draw a card from the monster deck or pass their turn. The game ends when someone has won twice or one player is the last man standing. The Cool Part: This was first released as Dungeon of Mandom. The difference between the two is that Welcome to the Dungeon includes four different sets of character cards whereas Dungeon of Mandom has only a single character.
Star Trek: Five-Year Mission
This cooperative dice placement game for 3-7 players has you take the roles of crew members of either the USS Enterprise or the USS Enterprise-D.

Players try to cooperatively solve a series of blue (easy), yellow (medium) and red (difficult) alerts to score points, attempting one of 6 different difficulty levels to win before failing five such alerts, or the Enterprise being destroyed. The Cool Part: You get to choose with series of Star Trek you play as while other games like to choose which one you are.
Between Two Cities
A partnership-driven tile-drafting game in which each tile represents part of a city: factory, shop, park, landmarks, and so on. You work with the player on your left to design the heart of one city, and with the player on your right to design the heart of another city. On each turn, you select two tiles from hand, reveal them, then work with your partners separately to place one of those tiles into each of your two cities before passing the remaining hand of tiles around the table. At the end of the game, each city is scored for its livability. Your final score is the lower of the livability scores of the two cities you helped design. To win, you have to share your attention and your devotion between two cities. The player with the highest final score wins the game. The Cool Part: This game features play for 3-7 players in 20-25 minutes, a 2-player variant for head-to-head competition as well as a solo variant.
Tomb Trader
You and your friends have joined an archaeological excavation simply in the hopes of lining your pockets with the best treasures and take them back to civilization for profit.

The game consists of 6 or 7 rounds in which players select a section of the tomb to explore and have one minute to divide the treasure between everyone else in the same section.
