SUPER SHOW THE BACKLASH
The Supershow is a tabletop dice and card game for 2 - 6 players. Supershow is the worlds first UCG, or unpredictable card game that takes place in the underground wrestling word of the Legendary Fighting Federation. The goal of the game is to hit your FINISH card for a chance to defeat your opponent.
When competing in the Legendary Fighting Federation competitors use the Lead - Follow up - Finish game engine, which makes the game easy to pick up by impossible to put down.
The LFF Engine is simple, on a players turn; they may play 1 card, that card can be; a FINISH card if they have a FOLLOW UP in play. A FOLLOW UP card if they have a LEAD in play. Or they may play a LEAD card. After each card is played, all players roll their Skill dice; the player who rolled the highest Skill draws a card and starts his turn. When a FINISH card is played a player has a chance to defeat his opponent with a dice roll, if he does not all cards in play are discarded, the Crowd Meter is raised to the next level and the game continues. The Crowd Meter increased the effectiveness of the FINISH cards as the game progresses.
When a FINISH card is played, a player attempts to PIN or SUBMIT his opponent with a FINISH ROLL. They roll their Skill dice to decide the FINISH ROLL. Their opponent has 3 dice rolls, called BREAKOUT ROLLS, to beat or tie the FINISH ROLL. This simulates beating the referees 3 count, or grabbing the ropes before the lifeless arm falls for the 3 time.
The Skill dice correlates with the Skill chart on the Competitor card you have selected. Each Competitor has a Gimmick, a unique effect that affects the game play, and 3 Finish cards. The 3 Finish cards are added to your Supershow Deck at the start of the game, and are also unique to that competitor.
Currently there are 7 playable competitors, each with their own unique backstory and interaction in the game. Additional characters can be won at our events, downloaded for free off our website, are handed out at live shows, or can purchased which each new set.
Each deck in The Supershow is comprised of 30 cards and 1 Competitor card that have a Skill chart. These pre-constructed 30 cards are 15 Lead cards, 12 Follow Up cards, and 3 Finish cards. Your Finish cards are unique to your Competitor. These cards can be different colors, making them Strikes, Grapples, or Submissions. Your Strikes, Grapples, and Submissions can become harder or easier to stop depending on your Skill chart and the Skill chart of your opponent.
Stop cards can be used to stop your opponent’s moves.
The Supershow also has mechanics that for multiplayer formats, triple threat, four way, 2-4 player tag team, tornado tag team, each format can be elimination style, or first to Finish. This is on top of different match types that are played with no additional purchases, such as escape the cage or submission match.

BARRAGE
In the dystopic 1930s, the industrial revolution pushed the exploitation of fossil-based resources to the limit, and now the only thing powerful enough to quench the thirst for power of the massive machines and of the unstoppable engineering progress is the unlimited hydroelectric energy provided by the rivers.
Barrage is a resource management strategic game in which players compete to build their majestic dams, raise them to increase their storing capacity, and deliver all the potential power through pressure tunnels connected to the energy turbines of their powerhouses.
Each player represents one of the four international companies who are gathering machinery, innovative patents and brilliant engineers to claim the best locations to collect and exploit the water of a contested Alpine region crossed by rivers.
Barrage includes two innovative and challenging mechanisms. First, the players must carefully plan their actions and handle their machinery, since both their action tokens and resources are stored on a Construction Wheel and will only be available after a full turn of the wheel. The better you manage your wheel, the earlier your resources and actions come back to you.
Second, the water flow on the rivers depicted on the board is a shared and contested resource. Players have to intercept and store as much of the water as they can, build dams (upstream dams are expensive but can block part of the water before it reaches the downstream dams), raise the dams to increase their capacity, and build long tunnels to channel the water to their powerhouses. Water is never consumed — its flow is just used to produce energy —, it is instead released back to the rivers, so you have to strategically place your dams to recover the water diverted by you and the other players.
Over five rounds, the players must fulfill power requirements represented by a common competitive power track and meet specific requests of personal contracts. At the same time, by placing a limited number of engineers, they attempt to enhance their machinery to acquire new and more efficient construction actions and to build and activate special unique-effect buildings to forward their own developing strategy.
