Calico is a puzzly tile-laying game of quilts and cats.

In Calico, players compete to sew the coziest quilt as they collect and place patches of different colors and patterns. Each quilt has a particular pattern that must be followed, and players are also trying to create color and pattern combinations that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also able to attract the cuddliest cats!

Turns are simple. Select a single patch tile from your hand and sew it into your quilt, then draw another patch into your hand from the three available. If you are able to create a color group, you may sew a button onto your quilt. If you are able to create a pattern combination that is attractive to any of the cats, it will come over and curl up on your quilt! At the end of the game, you score points for buttons, cats, and how well you were able to complete your unique quilt pattern.

In Pendulum, each player is a powerful, unique noble vying to succeed the Timeless King as the true ruler of Dünya. Players command their workers, execute stratagems, and expand the provinces in their domain in real time to gain resources and move up the four victory tracks: power, prestige, popularity, and legendary achievement.

Players must use actual time as a resource in managing their strategy to best their opponents, using time on different action types and balancing it with time spent planning and analyzing. The winner will be the player who manages and invests their time most effectively and who builds the best engine, not the player who acts the quickest.

Pendulum is the highest-rated prototype in the history of the Stonemaier Games Design Day.

You awaken in the dark, your skin cold, your mind blank. You have nothing but your fear, a flickering candle, and a question: How long will your light last?

Trapped and crawling your way through a pitch-black labyrinth, equipped with nothing but dim candles, you must work together to explore the maze and escape. Unfortunately, your weak candlelight illuminates only your immediate surroundings. Worse still, horrifying Wax Eaters — monsters who despise the light — lurk in the suffocating darkness for their opportunity to strike.

The Night Cage is a fully co-operative, horror-themed tile-placement game that traps 1-5 lost souls within an unnatural labyrinth of eternal darkness. To win, players must each collect a key, find a gate, and escape as a group.



Escape won't be easy as each player's visibility is limited by the weak light of their candle. They illuminate only tiles directly connected to their own, and when players move, tiles that fall into darkness are removed from the game. Doubling back the way you came only opens new paths, the old ones being lost forever with critical keys and gates vanishing if your light move away from them...

In Twinkle, the boundless universe comes to your table as you build your own constellation. Having the role of a stellar creator, your task is to decorate the night sky using colorful dice as stars and win the competition among other creators who share the same goal. Choose your star-dice carefully, foresee your opponents’ moves and take risks at the right moment in order to claim victory.



A complete game is divided in 7 rounds. During the 7 rounds of the game, players gradually form their own constellation by adding one die per round. Each player’s dice combine to score victory points according to the scoring cards. The player with the most victory points at the end of the game is the winner.

The board has 8 Starting Stars, where 2 Stars of the same color correspond to each player. From these Starting Stars, players will begin to form their constellation, eventually placing a total of 7 dice and collecting victory points. In each round, every player in their turn selects one die and attaches it either a) to one of their Starting Stars or b) to one of their already placed die, adding a connector between them.



When adding and connecting a die, the following two conditions must be satisfied:
1) Every die which is placed and connected to an already placed die must have a strictly lower result.
2) Each Starting Star and each die may have at most 2 connectors attached.

The game ends once all players cannot perform any more actions. Thus, all constellations are considered completed. To calculate the final score, flip the board to its back side where the scoring track is located. Then, each player’s score is calculated according to the scoring cards. Players advance their cubes according to the points scored for each card. The player with the most points is the winner.
