CRAFTING THE COSMOS BY DAVID GORDON GAME DESIGN


You are an architect of galaxies, competing to make the most beautiful galaxy in the universe. Change universal parameters, such as gravity and the speed of light — bend them at your will, as you add stars, supernovae, and nebulae.

 

DICE MINER BY Joshua DeBonis and Nikola Risteski

The Dwarves once lived beneath three mighty mountains. After centuries of war they defeated their age-old enemies the Dragons. Moving to the surface, the Dwarves built magnificent cities and won renown for their heartening beer.

But now the Dragons have returned. The Dwarves must remember their roots, clear old tunnels, and return to ancient caverns while fighting their primeval foes.

 

BARK AVENUE BY TErreDice GAMES

Bark Avenue is a competitive route optimization pick up and deliver game centered around a day in the life of a dog walker in upper Manhattan. Players balance walking several dogs at once with competing needs - including walk length, preferred activities, bathroom breaks, and compatibility with your other dogs.

You will be challenged with solving the puzzle of returning dogs on time and determining which dogs to walk next! In between walks, use public transportation to your advantage to position yourself for the best walks.

As you progress in your dog walking career, your good ratings will unlock new abilities, such as walking more dogs simultaneously, going off leash at the dog park, and taking more end-of-turn actions, including pickups and activities like visiting pet shops. Be wary of returning dogs late, because you could lose out on most the pay!

 

LACUNA by Mark Gerrits

Lacuna is an abstract game of mystical geometry. Two players compete to draw imaginary lines between flowers on a beautifully illustrated cloth mat. It takes seconds to set up and doesn't involve math or numbers—just making spatial connections in your mind.

 

SPOTS BY Jon Perry, Alex Hague, & Justin Vickers

Dogs have spots. Dice have spots. That's it. That's the game.

 

RATS: High tea at sea By Josh DeBonis & Eric Zimmerman

A banquet on a sinking ship can't last forever, but there's just enough time to prove yourself the most fabulous rat aboard! Each round you’ll be scavenging for supplies and competing with your honorable host in a most delightful competition of dishes and decorations - all the while forgetting that the ship is sinking beneath you!

 

PUNCH BOWL By Runaway Parade Games

No one knows when the giant fruits started growing, but everyone agrees they make a legendary punch. Become the head of one of four factions—orange, lemon, grape or strawberry—and lead a band of rollicking revelers to victory.

Compete with the other factions to bring the most desired ingredients to three massive punch bowls before they serve. Fish out your opponents’ fruits, add droves of your own, and introduce special ingredients to tip the balance. When each punch is served, the winner adds some to their punch cup, along with coveted ice cubes for varying bonuses.
Punch Bowl is easy to learn and quick to play, with beautiful watercolor artwork and deluxe components. It includes elements of area control, as well as a unique deck curation mechanic where players manage an ever-diminishing deck. Outmaneuver your opponents to win eternal glory and an overflowing cup of punch!

 

Procession West BY Hankins Feichter

The procession from this life to the next is not to be taken lightly. As we are seen and judged in life, so too are we in death. Play as one of 3-6 Arbiters in this game of guilt and innocence set on a ghost train headed west as you judge the souls of the dead. Are they innocent? Guilty? Tangle with the selfish desires and conflicting interests of your fellow Arbiters as the scales tip to one side or another. Good judgin', partner.

 

KÖ-OP BY OffCut Games

A co-operative card game about assembling flat-pack furniture with your partner, and definitely not about your collapsing relationship.
