TICKET TO RIDE: GHOST TRAIN
Ticket to Ride: Ghost Train takes the gameplay of the Ticket to Ride series and scales it down for a younger audience.
In general, players collect parade float cards, claim routes on the map, and try to connect locations such as the Mad Scientist's Lab, the Gingerbread House, and the Lonely Barn that are shown on their tickets. In more detail, the game board shows a map of a city with certain locations being connected by colored paths. Each player starts with four colored parade float cards in hand and two tickets; each ticket shows two locations, and you're trying to connect those two locations with a contiguous path of your trains in order to complete the ticket.
On a turn, you either draw two parade float cards from the deck or discard parade float cards to claim a route between two locations by placing your ghost trains on it; for this latter option, you must discard cards matching the color and number of spaces on that route (e.g., two yellow cards for a yellow route that's two spaces long). If you connect the two locations shown on a ticket with a path of your trains, reveal the ticket, place it face up in front of you, then draw a new ticket. (If you can't connect locations on either ticket because the paths are blocked, you can take your entire turn to discard those tickets and draw two new ones.)
If you create a route all the way from the Dark Forest region to the Seashore region, you collect the "trick or treat" bonus.

SCHOLARS OF THE SOUTH TIGRIS
Scholars of the South Tigris is set during the height of the Abbasid Caliphate, circa 830 AD.

Players will need to increase their influence in the House of Wisdom, and hire skilled linguists to translate the foreign scrolls into Arabic. In this Golden Age of wisdom and knowledge, be mindful not to neglect one in pursuit of the other.
The aim of Scholars of the South Tigris is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at the game’s end. Points are gained by translating scrolls, increasing knowledge in various areas of science and mathematics, influencing the 3 guilds, and by retiring translators after their years of faithful service.

PALACE OF MAD KING LUDWIG
King Ludwig II of Bavaria has called all great architects to design his greatest achievement: a world-renowned palace. Only the best will do! Gorgeous appointments, white stone, surrounded by water, with swans everywhere. Oh, and the Ludwig touch? All the architects must design the palace together. The designer who shows the strongest influence will receive the order to build it.
In The Palace of Mad King Ludwig, each player builds rooms one at a time in a single gigantic palace. As rooms are completed, a moat slowly forms around the outside. Once the ends of the moat connect, the palace is finished, and the player who has contributed the most to the palace wins!
This sequel to Castles of Mad King Ludwig shares a few similarities to its predecessor, such as tile-laying, room rewards, and the magic of watching a unique palace take shape through the course of the game, but the gameplay is entirely different, with no auction, a clever endgame timer that graphically builds pressure for players as the moat slowly closes in around the palace, and a twist on resource management with multi-colored swan tokens being used as currency, points, and the keys to new abilities.

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.
