The game challenges you to use genuine detective abilities to solve each case. To solve a mystery, you have to interrogate the suspects, question the household staff, examine the crime scene, search for clues around the Walton Mansion, and consult the police reports. You will do all of this while exchanging information with your opponents or hiding it from them, so get ready to use all your gumshoe skills!

WHO killed Mr. Walton?
HOW did the murderer end his life?
WHY did the murderer kill him?
Was there an ACCOMPLICE?

The heart of Awkward Guests is simple: Players have a hand of six cards, and each card has a value (1, 2 or 3 points, according to the amount of information that it provides) and several references (i.e., the subjects of the card information). During a turn, you ask for information about two different references in which you are interested. The rest of the players can offer you cards that contain the requested references, and you can trade for those cards by giving the offering players the same number of points they have offered via cards in your hand.

After each round ends, players can try to solve the mystery. If the mystery is not solved, players discard part of their hands and receive three new cards. The player or players who solve the mystery first win.

In the box 3 additional cases:

One last hit for the Hitman.

Blast from the past.
A decorated police Captain is nearly obliterated in a suspicion explosion, but with a list of enemies as long as the L.A. River it will be nearly impossible to determine who pressed the button.

The game has 6 asymmetric suits ranging from 1 card through to 6 cards, with values 1-7 spread across the suits. Gameplay includes trick-taking, publicly visible suits, and simultaneous bidding.

Played across 6 rounds, each round players are dealt a hand that increases by 1 card (1x card in round 1, 2x cards in round 2, etc.)

With all suits openly visible to all players, everyone must try to predict how many tricks they will win in the round – they bid simultaneously by revealing a number of fingers.

The bids are recorded and the trick-taking phase commences.

Everyone plays their cards using standard must-follow trick-taking rules, however, the highest card wins the trick, regardless of suit. BUT… if cards of the same number are played, they cancel each other out and the next highest card wins the trick. This often leads to surprise outcomes and plenty of laughs and groans.

Points are awarded based on whether players correctly predicted their bids or not:

• If your Bid and Tricks match EXACTLY, score points equal to the Current Round
• If your Bid and Tricks DO NOT MATCH, score -1 point per Difference

The dealer moves clockwise. Gather all the cards, shuffle and deal again.

Play 6 rounds. The winner is the player with the highest score.

In this 1 vs. many game, most of the players will run around the board, searching through houses for useful items and for the kids – Tommy and Lindsey. They can win the game by either causing enough damage to Michael Myers, or by finding Tommy, Lindsey, and a set of car keys so they can escape to safety! Meanwhile, the player controlling Michael Myers will stalk them – and because he is only visible when someone is looking directly at him, he will be an ever-present danger throughout the game. The Myers player can win by killing enough characters, or by preventing the players from escaping for long enough. (If a player’s character is killed, they lose anything they’re carrying but will come on the board with a new character from the movie).

You’ve worked hard to earn your spot in the Adventurers Guild, but one last obstacle remains. You must square off with a cunning rival guild hopeful in an exam of precarious paths that will test your skills at building a devious dungeon…and exploring one. To pass, you have to complete the tricky labyrinth your opponent has created full of dead ends, traps, enchanted monsters — oh, and if you can find it, valuable treasures. You enter their dungeon with your own set of skills and over the course of this challenge, you’ll grow as an adventurer. Will it be enough to map the right path, defeat the monsters in your way, and escape with the most valuable collection of treasure? Your spot in the Adventurers Guild depends on it!

Lairs is a two-player game for ages 10 and up that plays in about 35 minutes. Players begin with a set of walls, traps, treasures, and monsters, then use them to create a challenging catacomb for their opponent to explore while at the same time attempting to navigate their opponent’s dungeon using guile, deduction, and a little bit of luck. The stakes are high! Only one player can make it into the Guild!

You are the silent hand. One of 8 unwitting pawns will be your key to securing ultimate power. But your rival hides their own machinations to challenge you. Can you deduce their identity and eliminate them? Remove three key political targets? Or simply waltz in undetected and seize the throne?

ENTHRONE is an abstract, two-player deduction game. The roughly octagonal, diecut board is ringed by 8 beautifully crafted figures, busts representing the potential heir to the throne; the reigning King, the Priestess, the Knight, the Jester, the Demon, the Assassin, the Archer and the Wizard.

Each player is dealt three identity cards, each showing one of the above pawns. You will choose one whom you intend to Enthrone. You also know the other two identities you did not choose – are not the identity of your opponent. They have the same knowledge – and two identities are left forever unknown by any player.

You win if you can advance your pawn to the throne space at the center of the board. OR you can win by deducing who your opponent is and capturing and eliminating their pawn. OR you can have the three target identities listed on the bottom of your card eliminated from the game (by you or your opponent’s handiwork).

But the magic of the game is which pieces can be activated each turn – and what they are capable of, based on their position on the tile track. Hex Tiles on the bottom three positions are locked and cannot be moved. The top five can move by placing the tile on the bottom of the Hex tiles and pushing all tiles above it up one notch. Tiles in the top two spaces are the only ones capable of capturing and eliminating a piece. Tiles in the top three positions are the only once who can be moved to the Throne space (so long as it is YOUR pawn). Manipulating and strategizing how to move and position these tiles to suit your agenda is critical. Keeping your identity secret, while unveiling your opponents is the tension.
