Three Sisters – A roll-and-write game themed on the three basic crops from early America: corn, beans & pumpkins. Select dice from the action rondel in order to take actions in your backyard. The value of the die determines where you can plant or water in your garden, and the location of the die determines which other action you can take. The different areas of your scoresheet are interconnected so as you progress you earn bonuses, free actions, and more. – – 1 to 4 players – – 30 to 60 minutes
My Shelfie – This game has simple rules, strategic choices, and a nice 3D touch. Players are competing to completely fill their empty bookshelf in a manner that scores the most points. There are personal goals and common goals. Tiles are selected according to selection requirements from a central living room board that gets replenished throughout the game. The tiles you select must all be dropped into the top of only one column of your bookshelf. The goal is to get your columns to match the pattern on your personal goal and on the common goals in order to maximize your points. – – 2 to 4 players – – 25 minutes game time
Hickory Dickory – A scavenger hunt using 4 different mice to move around on the minute hand of a clock to gather tiles in order to fill your 4X4 hunt board. Each mouse has a special ability. They will be able to jump on and off the minute hand as it rotates around the clock. There is only so much room on the clock hand. You can always get on, but you may force someone else off. Each of the 12 hours on the clock have randomly placed tiles and abilities to use when you jump off there. After 5 rounds scoring will be based on sets of tiles of the same color and sets of tiles with the same symbols. There will also be points for filling rows and columns on your hunt board. – – 1 to 4 players – – 60 to 120 minutes

For The King (and Me) – A family set collection and auction bidding card game with colorful artwork. The deck is comprised of title cards worth points depending on their color, gold/money cards, and cards that allow you to manipulate the value of the various colors. There are two distinct phases to the game. In the first phase – the collection phase – the active player will draw a number of cards one at a time and decide whether to keep it, place it face down in a to-be-auctioned later pile, or place it face up in the center for the other players to draft. You may only keep one card so each draw can be a tough decision. Play passes to the next player and continues in the same manner until all the deck is depleted. In the second phase – the auction phase – the cards in the auction pile will be auctioned one by one. When this phase is complete, players will add up their points and determine a winner. – – 2-5 players – – 30 minutes
Undaunted: Battle of Britain – A 2-player campaign-driven deck-building game of tactical World War II combat played in 45 to 60 minutes.
Monikers – A simple party card game where you try to get your team to guess as many weird, sometimes inappropriate names as they can in 1 minute. Over 3 rounds, you’ll have different rules about how to give clues—but don’t worry, the same cards are used in each round, so by the end, you and your friends have all made up a bunch of hilarious jokes together. – – 4 to 16 players – – 30 to 60 minutes
