RISING STORM - THE STARBORNE

A Sci-Fi themed card game. Points are earned by winning challenges, capturing enemy cards, and earning credits. Governments use military and civilian abilities to achieve their objectives. This game features a "hand-building" mechanic. Draft cards into your hand (not into a discard pile) at the beginning of each round; unused cards are rolled over to the next two rounds.


Players will play four cards per challenge (trick). The most powerful card will win the hand, but there are exceptions. Military can combine power, diplomats prevent military from winning, cards can be captured or eliminated. Assassins, Diplomats, Mechs, Merchants, Emissaries, Sappers and Spies are just some cards you will encounter. A complete game consists of 3 challenges.

A TOUCH OF EVIL: DARK GOTHIC

A Touch of Evil: Dark Gothic is a deck-building game set in Flying Frog's A Touch of Evil game series.  Each player represents a particular monster-hunting hero in the game, and that hero determines the player's starting deck and grants a special ability. The heroes work together to some degree to defeat villains and monsters as they collectively lose the game if ten cards land in the shadows during play. That said, the game has only a single winner - the player who has the most investigation points at the end of the game. (Villains come in three levels of difficulty, and at the start of the game, you create a villain stack with one card of each difficulty level being chosen at random.)  The game uses three currencies - combat (red), cunning (green) and spirit (blue) - with some cards having a silver cost that can be paid with any currency. Players can acquire cards from a row of six that are available from the main deck or from piles of cards that are always available. If you fight the "Hungry Dead" - an always available card that costs one of each color - you can remove a card from your deck or from the central row.  "Dark Secrets" are a special type of card that get added to your deck through various means. The card is worth negative points at the end of the game, but should you draw it during play, you remove it from the game, then draw a "Shocking Discovery" - which will affect you or all players with some kind of pernicious effect.

HUES AND CUES

What hue do you think of when we say “apple”? Hues and Cues is a vibrant game of colorful communication where players are challenged to make connections to colors with words. Using only one and two-word cues, players try to get others to guess a specific hue from the 480 colors on the game board. The closer the guesses are to the target, the more points you earn. Since everyone imagines colors differently, connecting colors and clues has never been this much fun! Gather around with three to ten people to play a quick and simple game with a prism of possibilities! First, a “cue giver” hides a specific color they’ve chosen out of a deck of cards. There are 480 shades on the board in front of you! After getting one- and two-word cues, everyone places their marker on which color they think is being described. “Coffee.” Is it dark brown, as in freshly brewed? “Au lait.” With milk. That means I should pick a lighter shade! Use examples from everyday life, from nature to pop culture, or materials and moods. Everyone around the table gets a turn to give cues and guess. The better your hints or guesses, the more points you earn. Play off others' experiences to narrow down what they have in mind!
