Wilderfeast™ is an RPG about becoming part of the natural world by making it part of you! In Wilderfeast™, players take on the role of Wilders, the mutated rangers who roam the land trying to stop the frenzy, an eldritch virus which makes kaiju-esque monsters violent and self-destructive before leaping to stronger hosts. You hunt monsters, with your trusted pack of other wilders, and an oversized cooking utensil in your hand. You cook monsters, using the secret techniques to purify the frenzy. Each monster you eat mutates you further. You feed monsters, healing and comforting those you can. Gameplay alternates between Journeys (high-intensity, travel and combat) and Downtime (low-intensity, rest and roleplay). In both phases, you resolve conflicts with a simple but flexible dice pool system, built around a central idea: Humans use d8, monsters use d20. Wilders are both, so they can choose which of their sides to embrace when taking Tests: will you focus up, and stay true to your human side, or go wild, and unleash the monster in you? The Wilderfeast core book is a hardcover book of 316 pages, with full-color art throughout. It includes: - Fast and robust character creation, with 6 Tools (each with their own set of unlockable Traits), 8 Specialties, and suggestions for your three-course backstory. No matter how you build your character, you start with connections to the One Land and your fellow players. - A core loop that involves following the monster s trail, hunting it down and cooking it to gain permanent mutations, interspersed with free play that encourages creativity. - 40 different Monsters, each with its own Traits, body Parts and Behavior that make every hunt unique. - A travel guide, exploring the One Land and the Sen Coast, with detailed maps and extensive tables of cooking ingredients. - The Last Chamig, a set of four standalone scenarios also playable as an overarching campaign. These accessible and easy to set up scenarios are designed to introduce Guides and Wilders to the game system and come with full-detailed maps, stat blocks, pregenerated characters, and a set-list of events. - Essential advice for running the game, including recommended safety tools, tips for creating your own monsters and regions, and player-empowering mechanics to help the group define the adventures they want to have. Do you want to steward the wild, get stronger, protect your community, or explore ruins from the ancient past?

Dragon Castle (2017) Draft Mahjong-like tiles and place them carefully to create the best castle. 2-4 Players 30-45 Min Playing Time Age: 8+ Abstract, Family Layering Open Drafting Pattern Building Pattern Recognition Tile Placement Dragon Castle is a game freely inspired by Mahjong Solitaire. During your turn, you take a pair of identical tiles from the central "castle" (known as the Dragon Castle) and place them on your own realm board to build your own castle. From time to time, you may sacrifice these tiles to acquire shrines in their place. Every time you create a set of tiles of the same kind, you "consolidate" them, i.e. flip them face down to score points. When you consolidate a set, you may also build shrines on top of the consolidated tiles: Shrines allow you to score more points, but they also limit your building options. You may also take advantage of the available spirit card and its game-changing powers...but this will come at a cost! Finally, don't forget to check the dragon card in play, and to follow the building requirements to score bonus points. When the Dragon Castle has been reduced to only one floor, the end of the game is triggered. After one final round, the player with the most points is the lord of the new Dragon Castle...and the winner of the game!

Railroad Ink: Blazing Red Edition (2018) Build a network of rails and roads throughout a fiery landscape. 1-6 Players 20-30 Min Age: 8+ In the multiplayer puzzle game Railroad Ink, your goal is to connect as many exits on your board as possible. Each round, a set of dice are rolled in the middle of the table, determining which kind of road and railway routes are available to all players. You have to draw these routes on your erasable boards to create transport lines and connect your exits, trying to optimize the available symbols better than your opponents. The more exits you connect, the more points you score at the end of the game, but you lose points for each incomplete route, so plan carefully! Will you press your luck and try to stretch your transportation network to the next exit, or will you play it safe and start a new, simpler to manage route? Railroad Ink comes in two versions, each one including two expansions with additional dice sets that add special rules to your games. The Blazing Red Edition includes the Lava and Meteor expansions. Try to confine the lava coming from the erupting volcano before it destroys your routes, or deal with the havoc brought by the meteor strikes and mine the craters for precious ore. These special rules can spice up things and make each game play and feel different. Each box allows you to play from 1 to 6 players, and if you combine more boxes, you can play with up to 12 players (or more). The only limit to the number of players is the number of boards you have!
