Our organisation is thriving more than ever! And credit where credit’s due, your exceptionally "stern" methods has not gone unnoticed! As we’re branching out we want you to establish a new network and lead your gang...ehrm.. ambitious team to prosperity! The most successful of the lot will become my successor! Well, you know, ”eventually”... After a few years, once you've learned the ropes by fetching coffee and mastered the art of foot massage... BUT first things first! Let's write the future and get going with this soon to be EMPIRE of yours!

In Write the Future, all the players will create their own thriving criminal empire in a crime-infested cyberpunk future by cleverly filling their Player Sheet with beautifully (or less so) drawn agents, intel, weapons and money! Not only will you take on a big variety of missions, unlock different bonuses and create spectacular combos, you will also be able to manipulate the value of the resources at the black market!

In every round dice are rolled and randomly placed on Neighbourhood Cards. Players will then draft a combination of dice and card in turn order (or play simultaneously in the traditional mode, choosing 1 of 3 combinations). Players will then decide what to do with the dice. The color of the dice dictates what resource it is and the number in which row & column of your District Sheet you're able to draw it. When you complete full rows and columns, you'll unlock different Bonuses allowing for neat combos!

As soon as a player has completed 4 rows/columns or maxed out 3 Black Market resources it signals the end of the game, and game proceeds until everyone has been the first player an equal amount of times (if playing the traditional mode, the players will just play one final round).



Players will then score points for the Mission Cards, their row/column Bonuses and from the Black Market! The player with the most Victory Points wins the game!

Leave no stone unturned! Nine mystical tiles lie before you in a grid of rocky ruins. Rearrange the tiles to match one or more of the patterns in your hand. The catch is that you must sacrifice a card every time you swap or flip a tile. Carve out the most points in Shifting Stones, and your victory will be set in stone!

On your turn, you can do any of the following actions (as long as you have enough cards to pay for them):

• Shift stones (swap the positions of two stones)
  
• Flip stones (turn a stone to its opposite side that contains a different pattern)
  
• Score a card (reveal a pattern card from your hand that matches the current layout)
  
• Skip your turn (draw 2 additional cards for your next turn)
  

When you end your turn, draw back up to 4 cards.

The central tension in the game comes from figuring out when to execute your best set of moves. Do you have enough cards to pull off all your scoring in one turn, or has the grid moved too far from where you needed it?

Welcome back to Hanamikoji! In Hanamikoji: Geisha's Road, a 30-minute two-player, competitive strategy game full of implicit intentions, veiled messages, and hidden actions, players represent rival but friendly patrons supporting Yoko, Tomoyo, and others along their journey from apprentice (maiko) to full geisha (artist) and perhaps even the owner (okaasan) of their own establishment.

To do so, players help their favored geisha advance and build prestige through performing their art at different teahouses. Geisha start as apprentices (maiko) but become full geisha and score prestige points after accruing the necessary patronage to return to their original teahouse (ochaya) for the graduation ceremony (erikae). Some geisha may continue their path further and eventually inherit the teahouse (upon a second return) to become the new okaasan, recognized with more prestige points.



At the end of the game, the player who provides the most support to each geisha is recognized. The player who has supported the most prestigious group of geisha wins the game.

TRANGLAR is an abstract strategy game for 2 players with various, multi-shaped, colored pieces that players are trying to play onto the board. It is a straightforward yet intelligent game, created to challenge both new and experienced gamers. It plays in around 15-25 minutes, ideal for a quick and challenging gaming experience. Each piece is made up of triangles and has a different color on each side, one for each player, while neutral pieces have the same color on both sides.



Each player has to place as many of their pieces on the board in order to take over as much space on it as possible. To achieve this they must place their pieces on the board in such a way that they are protected and as to take over their opponents’ pieces by encircling them and flipping them to their color.



The player with the most triangular slots on the board with their color wins.
