 Mice and Mystics: Heart of Glorm Expansion: The Heart of Glorm storybook picks up right after the events of Sorrow and Remembrance, letting you and your friends continue the story of Prince Collin, Maginos, Tilda, Nez, Filch and Lily. Included in this expansion are new plastic figures, cards and counters, as well as a new series of chapters sure to test your mettle! And joining the heroes is Neré, a wild mystic who brings her powerful magic and knowledge of alchemy to the battle.

Takenoko Giant Edition: In Takenoko, the players will cultivate land plots, irrigate them, and grow one of the three species of bamboo (Green, Yellow and Pink) with the help of the Imperial gardener to maintain this bamboo garden. They will have to bear with the immoderate hunger of this sacred animal for the juicy and tender bamboo. The player who manages his land plots best, growing the most bamboo while feeding the delicate appetite of the panda, will win the game.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a special edition of the standard Takenoko game and is limited to a production run of only 200 copies worldwide. Pricing and allocations are not guaranteed.

 Dungeon Twister, the Card Game: a two-player-only take on Dungeon Twister with the entire game converted into cards. As in the original game, players in Dungeon Twister: The Card Game build a team from the characters and objects available to them, then head into the maze to try to navigate the hazards by using their action points each turn to move, rotate rooms, collect items, and combat opponents, making their way to the opposite side of the maze while avoiding – or taking out – the opponent's characters along the way.

Spyrium: Based in an imaginary world where England has been transformed into a Steampunk atmosphere. Your goal? Build factories, using workers who produce a substance known as Spyrium. Producing Spyrium in one factory, then processing it in the next results in victory Points.

Deep Wars: Campaign based skirmish game. Mordheim style. Vertical and horizontal movement because its all underwater. Game designer is or had a marine biologist on staff when he wrote it so the environment has true aspects. Terrain is interactive in that some of it will attack you and grab you or hinder you. The models are fantastic. The best part? There is an easy way to create and build your own models or faction! Someone has apparently sat down and made a Merfolk army with all the reaper Merfolk!

Timeline - Historical Events: JFK’s assassination, the 1st step on the moon, the last crusade ... Can you put all these events correctly on the timeline? The first player to get rid of their cards wins.

Impacy City Roller Derby: A fast paced board game for 2 or 4 players based on flat track roller derby. Game play is done by moving your team of 5 roller derby girls around the board trying to get your Jammer to pass more opposing derby girls than your opponents Jammer.

Hot Rod Creeps: In this customizable racing game, your Hot Rod Creeps team is your ticket to glory! Each team has its own special deck of movement cards and its own strategy. Customize your Hot Rod! Add a new Engine, Weapon, Pit Crew, or set of Wheels at a Pit Stop along the way. Customize your racetracks! Make them as wild and crazy as you want, with more than 50 interlocking track tiles. Everything you need for a race unlike anything you’ve ever see is included with Hot Rod Creeps!

Catan - Explorers & Pirates: The newest addition to the Catan game. You can play with the basic set, you do not need to have the seafarers portion of the franchise. The play concepts of seafarers are introduced as part of the core rules and it comes with five scenarios. In closing I think its a good buy if you are not sure you want to get the seafarers expansion, since it introduces the concepts.

Cosmic Encounters - Cosmic Storm: The newest expansion for cosmic encounters, cosmic storm. It introduces 25 new alien races and space stations which give you a unique power as long as you control it. New and interesting races as well as Space Stations, how can you say no?
