Legacy of Thracks - The Awakening is an epic, competitive asymmetric fantasy game with semi-coop elements. You control one of the three clan heroes (Warrior, Mage, Engineer) and tries to enter the legendary Dimara in time, or control the Shadow hero and prevent the other heroes from reaching Dimara. Beside your hero you (and anybody) can control the common Lost Souls too.



During the Awakening people started to change and the 3 clans were established based on their different abilities. But the Awakening has a purpose...it always had, and there is a dark secret behind it. After the long war between the clans the real brutal enemy appeared: the Shadows, whose goal is to eliminate humankind. The final battle is lost, and the world is in fire. The only hope is the ancient and mysterious Anduril race.

As a clan hero you have 9 days to reach the Anduril's capital, Dimara otherwise it will be too late and the Shadows will be unstoppable. You need to work together with other clan heroes against the Shadow, but be careful because only one hero can enter Dimara!

As a Shadow hero you must prevent the clan heroes from reaching Dimara in time.



During your journey you need to overcome as many magical barriers within 9 days as many you are able to, and also conquer castles, villages, fortresses and build roads.

To complete the magical barriers, you need to fulfill numerous secret missions, collect the ancient relics and increase your glory! To complete missions, you can use the Lost Souls to mine precious crystals. But be careful, the Lost Souls can be led by the other players too! During your adventure you can learn and improve special skills and can battle other heroes to increase your glory further.



As a Shadow hero activate the Sources of Darkness and your special shadow abilities, use black magic and your Metamorph skill to copy clan Heroesm and prevent them from reaching Dimara!

Panic has spread through the fantasy land of Brumancia. Gloomtail the Eternal has emerged from her sea lair. The Gnome Union, seizing this opportunity, have revolted, captured the throne at DragonKeep and halted the production of beer.

Rise of the Gnomes is an area control game where you manage one of the brewery empires in Brumancia. Defeat the Gnomes and claim the regions of Brumanica by winning the loyalty of beer customers. Use your gold to pay tributes to Gloomtail the Eternal, preventing her from eating your customers and burning your breweries to the ground. Earn points by expanding your regions, building breweries, recruiting allies and pleasing the powers of Brumanica. The player, or Gnome Union, with the most points at the end of five rounds is the winner.

Rise of the Gnomes uses worker placement and card drafting to perform actions. The order of the chosen actions dictates how well players do in the game. Player strategy and not luck determines the success of actions.



Rise of the Gnomes features the Gnome Union, an automated competing player. All players lose the game if the Gnomes have the most victory points at the end of the game. Players must both compete with other players for control of Brumancia and work together to keep the Gnomes in check.

The Red Dragon Inn is an award-winning series of games in which players play as colorful adventurers (well, mostly adventurers) who are drinking, gambling and roughhousing to celebrate their latest dungeoneering exploits.

If you're new to The Red Dragon Inn, welcome! The Red Dragon Inn 8 is a standalone expansion that contains everything you need to play!

RDI 8 includes the Pub Crawl Variant, which may be played with any characters (not just the ones in RDI 8). When playing with the Pub Crawl Variant, the party travels around to other taverns, sampling new and interesting drinks, and doesn't return to The Red Dragon Inn until they've had everything those other taverns have to offer!

In fact, it is fairly common among Deep Space Miners (5th class), and some say that it is almost unavoidable. And, well, it is. Especially since the Crystals that you seek happen to be inside giant space Beasts. To mine them, you need to, well, be eaten.



In So, You've Been Eaten..., the Miner and the Beast face off against one another. The Miner earns points by collecting crystals, and the Beast earns points by developing immune responses and by its bacteria attacking the Miner.

Should you achieve your objective and mine enough Crystals to meet your quota, it is then cost-effective for the company to activate your jetpack and extricate you from the proverbial belly of the Beast.

In the event that the Bacteria present in the Beast overwhelm you and you are digested, do not despair. Your non-organic parts will certainly be useful in the mining exploits of future Miners. In fact, you may encounter some such pieces of equipment in your expedition, remains of less-than-qualified recruits from past attempts.

Finally, it could transpire that you do not collect the necessary Crystals by the time you reach the end of your adventure, without the Beast having digested you.

In this case, you will then exit the Beast from the other end than the one you entered. Alive... and yet forever changed. In this case we will have to evaluate your performance against that of the Beast’s efforts to consume you.
