Centuries after a famous story featuring three little pigs, the Swine family has learned a precious lesson and become the greatest landlord in the world. (They love houses!) The Wolf family, however, has become the best architects of all time. (They hate lousy houses!) The three little wolves now work for the Big Bad Pig to build all kinds of houses. Can you help the wolves build the highest house and find the best home for them?

Three Little Wolves is a family game in which each player needs to build three houses by playing cards from small numbers to large. The higher you build, the better the chance you can score points — but your fellow players might send their little wolves to live in your nice house for big points! Plans, disguises, and a pinch of luck in your hand are all you need to win the game!



In more detail, players take turns playing one card from hand to build one of the three houses — blue, green, and red — in front of themselves, then refill their hand to four cards. If the Big Bad Pig (BBP) is drawn, it rewards the tallest house at that moment, but if you can't keep the house tall enough at the end of the game, you will get punished. If you don't want to play a card, you can discard a card and send one of your three wolves to live in other players' houses for a chance to score points!

The third time the BBP rewards the tallest house triggers the end of the game. All players compare the height of their buildings, and the shortest of each color is knocked down by the BBP! Whoever scores the most points wins!



Three Little Wolves was originally published by Poki Design in Chinese, but is now coming to English regions thanks to Renegade Games Studios!

King Henry VIII’s trip to India cannot successfully conclude until he gets a taste of the best Indian food the King of India has to offer. The Indian King has commissioned some of the finest chefs to compete for a chance to cook at Henry’s Feast. He has asked his Head Chef to arrange the competition.

Henry's Feast is a competitive, family-friendly, appetizing, cooking board game for the hungry. A deep strategy game where players are constantly challenged to think ahead and work with limited resources to cook King Henry's favourite dishes.



The game consists of a personal kitchen in the form of a player board that each player will use to cook their dishes. The kitchen also has a pantry with limited space and can only store so many ingredients. Players are forced to choose between using their stations to start cooking, and therefore, revealing the dishes they want to cook or store them in the pantry for future use.

However, the empty space in the pantry will determine how many ingredients you can take in the next round. In the middle of all the players, lies the Stockroom that is quicker to get to, but has a lower probability of finding the ingredients you need. The Market has all the ingredients but is farther and requires more time (an extra round) to utilize.

A century from now all that remains of Earth is the detritus that humanity left behind. The races of a neighboring solar system have a penchant for artefacts left behind by extinct races. In Excavation Earth, you lead one of these races of alien explorers on their quest to excavate rare human artefacts and curate the ultimate art collection to sell off.

Excavation Earth is divided into three rounds, each of which starts with players drafting a hand of multi-use cards that will be used to perform actions. Players then take quick turns playing actions that allow them to move their explorers around the world map, excavate for artefacts, and deploy traders to bazaars and influencers to affect prices and wheel and deal on the black market.

The artefacts you dig up can be either sold to the bazaars housed on one of the aliens' ships that landed on Earth or added to a collection that will be sold off as a coherent art collection to museums back home. Excavation Earth ends after three rounds and the player who makes the most money during the game wins.

Excavation Earth: It Belongs in a Museum is the second expansion for Excavation Earth. It introduces two new alien races, mysterious artefacts, a deck of technology cards and a whole, new museum board. It Belongs in a Museum adds new ways of scoring that create new paths to playing and winning the game.

In the vast realm of Backyardia, the Bug Council convenes to discuss important things like picnics, how to ruin picnics and, of course, income tax reform. The different factions of bugs- ants, flies, bees, mosquitos and cockroaches- find themselves in an ever-shifting balance of power and only those who ally themselves with the most powerful will seize the day.

Bug Council of Backyardia is a trick taking game that utilizes a mancala mechanism to dynamically shift which suits are powerful throughout the game.

The game is played over 3 rounds. Each round, players will receive 11 cards to play 10 tricks. During the tricks, the leader will play a suit and the rest of the players will follow (if possible). The player to play the strongest card of the strongest suit wins the trick and collects it for scoring! Meanwhile, the player to play the lowest on-suit card gets to visit the Council. This player chooses a faction tile, collects its strength cubes and distributes them in a clockwise fashion around the council, thus, altering the strength of the suits.

At the end of the 10 tricks, players will use their remaining card to claim their allegiance to the faction matching its suit. If you play your cards right and manipulate the council to your favor, you can get a nice allegiance bonus to add to the tricks you've won!



The player with the most points at the end of 3 rounds is the winner of the game and will be forever remembered in the annals of Backyardia history!
