Silver Dagger is the fourth standalone game in the Silver series of fast and engaging card games. Designed by Ted Alspach - the creator of Ultimate Werewolf and Suburbia.

In Silver Dagger, as in the other Silver card games, everyone starts the game with five face-down cards, with everyone being able to see two cards of their choice. Cards are numbered 0-13, with the number showing how many werewolves the character on that card attracts, and each character (number) has a different special power.

On a turn, you draw the top card of the deck or discard pile, then either discard it to use the power of the card (but only if it came from the deck), discard it without using the power (ditto), or replace one or more of your face-down cards with this card; you can replace multiple cards only if they bear the same number, and you must reveal the cards to prove this, being penalized if you're wrong.

Silver Dagger contains 14 new roles and abilities not seen in the previous titles, some of which allow you to strategically switch the direction of gameplay, the #4 zombie in particular! As might be expected, zombies are tough to get rid of; in game terms, you can't place them on top of the discard pile, and they need to be face up in order to pass them to the previous player. The game also includes helpful roles such as the debt collector, which subtracts a point for each card held by your opponents, and the halfling, who has the power to divide your entire score for the round in half.



As in other Silver games, call for a vote when you think you have the fewest werewolves circling your village. Your opponents will then have only one more chance to save themselves — or to sabotage you!

The Silver series is made to mix and match! Pick out roles to fill the 0-13 slots from Silver Amulet, Silver Bullet, Silver Coin, or this title to create your very own custom deck.

From time beyond memory, a great evil overlord has plagued the land, his ruthless cruelty matched only by his ruthlessly poor decorating taste. That evil overlord has died, and numerous pretenders are vying to take over his throne. And everyone knows that the first step on the journey to becoming a legendary evil boss is to set up a nefarious lair.

That’s where you come in.

You are a dungeon decorator who specializes in setting up cozy underground spaces with just the right “lair-y” feel for your clients. You will compete against your opponents to build the best dungeon with all the right accoutrements, so that your villainous clients can move in, feel at home, and get right down to evilling.



Dungeon Decorators is a competitive “light euro” tile-drafting strategy game for 2 to 4 players. Select tiles that give you the right combination of chilling chambers, harrowing hallways and dire decorations, then play goal cards to score points. The player who scores the most points achieves victory by impressing the client and setting them on their path to becoming the next legendary evil!

Penny Dreadfun (2nd Edition) will take you to the year 1888, to Victorian England, full of occultism, British humour, and more or less historical characters. You play as one of many unusual heroes, who – driven by various motives – set off to the city to find the source of disaster and save the world, which is becoming more and more taken over by forces of hell.



The gameplay itself combines classic elements of adventure games with modern solutions, such as an RPG-like system of choices and their consequences, or a vast freedom in planning your actions, including building your own deck, which is reponsible for character development, executing actions, and even the fast-paced combat.

Note that this scenario is the first introductory scenario of the base game – It doesn’t use all the cards that are in a base game, but give a glimpse of all game mechanics. It helps new players to know the rules of the game – the deckbuilding, resource management and fighting system.



Every scenario in Penny Dreadfun 2nd Edition is different, has it’s own story and needs different approach! Players wins every scenario as a group, but also score points for themselves, that are noted on a Campaign Sheet – after the full Campaign one player will emerge as a hero of the Penny Dreadfun story, while others will be just merely sidekicks!

Misty

It’s raining outside. The windows are misty, but covered in drawings. Players receive cards with different designs and keep only one for their window. They then give the other cards to their neighbor.

After 12 turns, each player has a magnificent window filled with drawings that will come to life in front of them: the balloons float up, the vehicles drive out and the leaves fall down. Only some of the drawings can earn you points. The most beautiful and valuable drawing is the flower, but watch out for the monster who keeps on trying to eat it.

Misty is a tactical draft game, in which to win, one must anticipate where the cards will move and watch the other players’ windows.

The new moon is a symbol for a new beginning, the perfect time to start something new and to plan your future — and that is what Nova Luna (lat. for new moon) is all about. In each round of this abstract tile-laying game, you have to plan your future anew, developing a new strategy to cope with what the moon wheel has to offer you.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
On each turn, you have to decide which new tile from the moon wheel to place in front of you. Every new tile brings a new task you have to fulfill. In order to do so, you need to place tiles of the correct color adjacent to the task you want to complete, but these of course again bring you new tasks. Each time a task is solved, you may place one of your markers on it. So decide wisely and be the first one to place all your markers.

Nova Luna is made by acclaimed designers Uwe Rosenberg and Corné van Moorsel, and was nominated for the 2020 Spiel Des Jahres. In the committee's words: "A game of “Nova Luna” seems to be an almost spiritual experience. From deep within a meditative trance, players contemplate their display of tiles. But behind this is a highly attractive intellectual challenge. “Nova Luna” arrives without any bells and whistles, it brings the game back to basics, just as how an unadulterated view of the night sky can bring more joy than the showiest firework."
