COURTISANS

Tonight, the queen holds a banquet that everyone will attend. Will they leave a good impression? Backstabbing is fair game, and no trick is too dirty if it allows you to place your favorite families in the spotlight.


HOW TO PLAY:


In Courtisans, you receive and play three cards on each of your turns. One is played at the Queen's table to sway a family's influence, which can be influenced positively or negatively. The two other cards are played in your domain and in an opponent's domain, and they can be worth positive or negative points, depending on their family's status - either Esteemed (+1) or Disgraced (-1) - at the end of the game. Additionally, some Courtiers have special powers when played and each player begins the game with a secret scoring objective. 


Choose where best to place your three cards if you want to end up with the most points and win.

FINAL GIRL: MADNESS IN THE DARK EXPANSION - SERIES 2

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE GAME. YOU MUST HAVE THE FINAL GIRL CORE BOX TO PLAY!The Ratchet Lady is in a mood. She’s performing her own brand of therapy on the victims, turning them into bloodthirsty maniacs. You’ll have to decide if you want to try to calm them down or kill them before they can kill you. But the only way to really stop them will be to put down the Ratchet Lady herself. Wolfe Asylum seems harmless and like a typical mental institution to outsiders. Inside lies something very different. There’s medicine and other drugs inside that can, shall we say, amplify your abilities. But at what cost? When the choice is death or a potential side effect, it really isn’t a choice at all. Down the hatch! These Feature Film Boxes - when combined with the Core Box - have everything you need to play the game. Each Feature Film Box features a unique Killer and and iconic Location, and the more Feature Films you have, the more killer/location combinations you can experience! Each Feature Film Box is double-sided, with amazingly illustrated covers on the front AND back. Not only that, but the magnetically attached box covers are removable, with the reverse of each functioning as the Killer and Location boards respectively.

BETWEEN TWO CITIES: ESSENTIAL EDITION

Between Two Cities is a 30-minute tile-drafting game for 1-7 players in which each tile is part of a city. You work with the player on your left to build one city center while simultaneously working with the player on your right to build a second city center. On each turn you select two tiles from your hand, reveal them, then work with your partners to place one of your selected tiles into each of your two cities. At the end of the game, each city is scored for its architectural grandiosity. Your final score is the lower of the scores of the two cities you helped design, and the player with the highest final score wins the game. To win, you have to share your attention and your devotion equally Between Two Cities. The Essential Edition combines components from the original game and the Capitals expansion into one cohesive whole. While it features a bigger box than the original game, different art on some tiles, and a scorepad instead of a board, there are no new gameplay elements (i.e., if you own Between Two Cities and the Capitals Expansion, you already have everything).
