Tales of War is a competitive, skill-based strategy board game that places players in the roles of the two generals whose armies clash in a campaign of battles for The Cross of Eternity.

Players' progress carries over from battle to battle until the end of the campaign as their armies develop and their heroes learn new skills. As the campaign progresses, their initially small force expands to include units, such as Elves, Dwarves, Fire and Ice Sorceresses, Giants, Hydras, Fire Elementals or even Vampires.

Players alternate between being the Attacker and Defender in each battle and pass the Attacker token before each encounter. The Attacker plays first and draws an Objective card, which shows victory conditions. The first player to complete them wins the battle. The card also shows the number of Terrain tiles each player must secretly draw from the bag. Players alternate placing terrains on the game board and then discreetly pick the units they want to take to battle and alternate deploying them on the board.



Tales of War is a turn-based game, and when it's their turn, the player selects one of their units and opts to either move it or attack with it. Making a move is mandatory. The encounter finishes when a player completes its objective.

After the battle, players draw Reward cards, reinforce their armies and either play another one or save campaign progress.

Amongst Reward cards are Special units, Hero Skills and the Cross of Eternity. The player who finds The Cross of Eternity card and wins the consecutive battle achieves campaign victory and wins the game.

The place: Ancient Rome.
The year: 44BCE (Before Common Era).
The date: March 15.

In a bid to end power being in the hands of one person, you (as an acting Roman Senator) have conspired to end the reign of the current dictator and leader of the Roman Republic – Gaius Julius Caesar with the intent of placing power in the hands of a collective group.



To overcome your rivals and win the title of "Citizen One," you will be forced to deploy devious tactics - such as changing the direction of your rivals’ roads (causing their journeys to lengthen), demolishing (sabotaging) their constructions, or ultimately fighting them for access to Rome.



The player that successfully negotiates their way back home, raises an army, promotes themselves to Commander, and avoids the pitfalls. Roll dice, play tiles, and make sure you obey the Fatum cards!

Super Team is a highly-tactical football game featuring a unique deck of cards for each team and captain, containing offensive and defensive tactical moves along with amazing skills to create a fast and exciting match.



On a turn each player simply plays 1-3 cards from their hands, resolving each card’s actions by rolling dice. The number of dice a player can roll for each action relates to that action’s stat set by the player at the start of each half of the game.



Super Team is also a game of resource management: each team gains morale (stars) by performing tactic cards and can spend those stars on critical events such as a perfect pass through, saving a chip shot or simply an extra movement!

Shy Monsters (Mutlose Monster) is an asymmetric bluffing game for two players in which a player builds a dungeon and their opponent tries to escape from it.

The Dungeon Master leads a band of shy monsters. Make sure to respect their favourite places in the dungeon, otherwise they will not attack the Hero. The Hero must properly decipher the dungeon’s structure and use its special actions soundly to escape from it alive.
