In Dark Dealings, players take on the roles of Dark Lords. You've managed to annoy the locals just enough for them to muster heroes bent on evicting you from your dark tower. Now you must impress your Dark Masters, beings not meant to be known by ordinary man, by taking on the most fiercest of heroes. Doing so will get you mighty defenses you'll use to hopefully evade eviction. Last longer than your fellow Dark Lords (other players) and you will win Dark Dealings.

Cosmic Kaboom is a dexterity flicking game in which players fly around space collecting energy to power up space bombs which are used to eradicate the planets of their enemies. The dynamic play area allows you to play on any size surface.

Each player controls three planets in their color scattered throughout the board. One of these planets houses an energy crystal that supplies players with an energy cube of that color when their ship is flicked into this planet. After an energy cube of each player color is collected, you may toss the space bomb onto the board in an attempt to blow up the other player's planets. Each planet is worth points (shown on the back of the planet) that you earn when blowing it up.

Advancement cards that provide player powers or bonuses to aid in your conquest are given to players throughout the game. The game continues until either one entire color of planets has been destroyed, or the majority of the planets have been destroyed. Whoever has the most points becomes the ruler of the universe!

Zombicide: Black Plague is a standalone cooperative boardgame for 1-6 players that brings the relentless zombie-killing action of Zombicide into a brand new fantasy setting! Players control a party of survivors as they fight to rid the land of an invasion of zombies controlled by the game itself. Survivors find weapons, learn spells, battle zombies, and gain experience. The more experienced they get, the more powerful they become, but the more zombies rise to face them!

HOPE features a multi-dimensional board (an optical illusion) with an ever-shifting frame of reference, asymmetric player powers, and semi-cooperation between players. (Only one player will win, but if the universe collapses, all players lose.) As an elite member of the Human Organization to Preserve Existence (H.O.P.E), you are tasked with saving the universe by jumping to the far reaches of space, terraforming hostile planets into habitable worlds, and seeding new civilizations with life.

Sheep happens is a brand new card game about the endless war between sheep and goats. The game is quite simple, but despite the simplicity of the game rules, the strategies that can be used to beat your enemy are really varied.

MONSTROUS is a tactical dexterity game. Every turn you need to choose the best monster card to throw and combine with location powers — and the monstrous mayhem on the table. Can you spot the best combinations? Do you go for that long shot worth more points, or play it safe with an easy throw? Do you lay a Gorgon as a trap in the thick of the action or punch through a scrum of monsters with your Hydra to reach the mortals beneath? Then you hurl your mythic monster down at the mortals. The fate of the Pantheon is in your hands.

Mare Nostrum is all about the expansion of one's lands, the construction of new cities, and the dispatching of caravans to take advantage of rare commodities that can either be traded or exploited to build constructions and eventually wonders of the world.

Diplomacy and trade are but one path to greatness. The expansion of your navy and armies can take what should be rightfully yours. Hiring great leaders will further expand your boundaries in quick time.

Controlling a combined total of four Wonders and/or Leaders or being the first to build the Pyramids will assure victory — but there are many hurdles to overcome to achieve such heights.

Apotheca is a 30-minute, potion-crafting strategy game for 2-4 players ages 14 and up.

Only clever folk can navigate this mysterious market. Can you master the world of Apotheca?
