Multiple players may survive the fight, but only one may claim the glory of purifying Sanctum.

Gameplay is brisk, with the possibility for overlapping turns. The four characters all have unique skill sets, and you’ll level up fast, giving you frequent opportunities to choose new skills. Every decision counts.

Though the game is competitive, the goal is to destroy the Demon Lord, not each other. So player interaction is a race rather than a fight: Who’s furthest along the board? Who will get to choose first when an equipment draft gets triggered? Who will gain the benefit of reaching the Demon Lord first? Who will get to that group of blue demons everyone wants? Who will unlock that achievement and claim the bonus?

On your turn, you choose one action:

1) Move: Advance along the path toward the Demon Lord, and engage some demon minions to fight later.
2) Fight: Fight all the demon minions you’ve engaged. If you kill any demons, upgrade Skills and acquire Items.
3) Rest: Equip some of the loot you’ve won, recharge the resources you use to fight, and buy potions with extra Items you don’t need.

The choices you’ll be balancing and weighing against each other as you go include:

– What demons should you fight? Demons come in three colors: Blue, red, and green. The color of the demon determines which of your character’s Skills you’ll be able to choose to upgrade if you win the fight. Plus, each Demon drops a specific piece of gear when you beat it. What kind of gear do you need — a chest plate? Footgear? A weapon? Finally, since killing demons requires you to roll dice to match the die face showing on the demon’s card, which demons can you kill based on your current gear and skill setup?

– Which Skills should you unlock? Each character has 9 skills. Which ones you choose to gain in a given game drastically changes how the character functions.

– What gear should you equip? Some gear helps you block damage. Some helps you modify dice rolls. The better the gear, the harder it is to equip.

– When should you Move, Fight, and Rest? You’ll want to Move and Fight as many times as possible between Rests, but wait too long to Rest and you may take more damage than you can afford. Rest too often, though, and you’ll fall behind the other players and miss out on some kills.

– Should you do what is most optimal for your character at any given moment, or should you sometimes put that aside in order to claim competitive achievements before other players can?

The final battle with the Demon Lord is tough. Even surviving can feel rewarding. But only the player with the most health at the end of the boss fight can truly claim the glory of his defeat!

Our story begins with a tight-knit group of teenage friends who have recently discovered a remarkable ability – the power to traverse into Dream City during their sleep!
In this tabletop roleplaying game, you will embark on a unique journey that intertwines the challenges of adolescence with the mysteries of a fantastical dream world.

Everything’s not all fun and games though. A haunting presence looms over Dream City – the enigmatic Tower. Its imposing silhouette dominates the skyline, visible from every corner of the dream world. Yet, despite its omnipresence, the Tower remains an elusive enigma.

As the players carve their own path through the dream world, they’ll grapple with the looming mystery of the Tower, the ever-changing landscape of Dream City, and the delicate balance between the ordinary challenges of their waking lives and the extraordinary responsibilities thrust upon them in the dream world. Will they succumb to the influence of the Tower, or will they rise as defiant knights, challenging the very foundations of the dreamscape?

Miskatonic Tales: Journey to Innsmouth is set in the universe known from the award-winning Call of Cthulhu horror and mystery TTRPG. The box contains three stand-alone sandbox adventures that can be played separately, yet share one large story arc. This cooperative game does not have a strict turn order, but emphasizes solving the case together as a group. Every move you make while exploring the map is accompanied by a paragraph from the book that reveals yet another piece of your story. Each time you play, the story can be different, and trying to solve the scenario several times eventually reveals the full picture.

Combining strategy, storytelling, and cooperation, the game offers an engaging experience where choices matter, teamwork is crucial, and the story’s path is as unpredictable as it is thrilling.

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.
