Try the River & Stone playing cards by Beth Sobel



Beth Sobel is one of the hardest working illustrators in the tabletop space right now. If her name isn't familiar to you, her artwork certainly is, as she's responsible for the gorgeous Wingspan player mats, multiple box covers (including Calico, Cascadia, & Between Two Cities), and has even worked on IP games such as the Lord of The Rings Card Game.



Beth is now bringing her River And Stone playing cards to Kickstarter later this year, and to give you a taste of what they look like, she's made a version of the traditional game Cribbage that uses her playing cards!

The king is throwing a party! (Free during July)



The king is throwing a party and inviting all the neighbors! The Secrets & Soirees expansion to Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig expands the game up to 8 players with two new room types (activity and secret rooms), a new specialty room type (ballrooms), more bonus cards, and a new throne room.

Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig is a competitive tile-drafting game in which each tile is a room in a castle. You work together with the player on your left to design one castle, and with the player on your right on another castle. On each turn you select two tiles from your hand, reveal them, then work with your partners to place them. To win, you have to share your attention and your devotion between two castles.

Would you rather party alone? This box also includes an Automa solo mode for the base game and the expansion, as well as optional rules for a new mode of play for 2-8 players in which you build your own castle instead of sharing one with your neighbors.



Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig is published by Stonemaier Games as part of a collaboration with Bezier Games.

A somewhat cooperative expansion to On Mars lands 👽



On Mars: Alien Invasion is the much-anticipated Somewhat Cooperative Expansion to Vital Lacerda’s best-selling and highly-rated On Mars base game. Though this expansion was originally going to be named Surviving Mars, Eagle-Gryphon Games made the decision to change the name to On Mars: Alien Invasion to better reflect the theme and content of this expansion. The game narrative is contained in four chapters of a story written by Nathan Morse.

Gameplay contains four new and different ways to expand upon and play the base game. You will play one versus many; completely cooperatively; and even solo if you wish, depending on the chapter. Included are four fresh and completely replayable ways to establish colonies On Mars!



On Mars: Alien Invasion is a short story expansion to On Mars made in 4 chapters with 4 different modes of play.

The short story is called Alien Invasion and contemplates the following Chapters and modes of play:

Chapter 1 - Invasion - 1 vs All - 3 to 5 players
Chapter 2 - Outbreak - Co-Op - 2 to 4 players
Chapter 3 - Blackout - Co-Op - 2 to 4 players
Chapter 4 - Monolith - Solo - 1 player
