Free Luna is a cooperative deckbuilder for 1-4 players in which you lead a revolution on the Moon. The Terran government thins your deck quickly by arresting your recruits, but arrests more powerful cards as you move closer to victory. Dynamic deckbuilding means you move cards between players’ decks by assigning them to missions like Sabotage, or by breaking cards out of Prison. Work together to occupy locations, move public opinion, and inspire an uprising before Terra quashes the revolution.

In Robots: Design and Destroy, everything is customizable. The board: built by die rolls. The robots: designed through choosing technology. The vehicles: built like robots. Even the destruction is customizable. You need to make your robots do tasks, to build vehicles, and to dominate the enemy. Robots: Design and Destroy is a game based on customization and creation, so you will never play the same game twice.

Slasher is a heavy hidden-movement horror game designed by Jackson Murphy. Players take on the role of innocent camp counselors or villagers, depending on the game board used, and must escape the cultches of the Killer, taken on by one of the players, who sets out to kill all of the innocents. This game’s most fun moments come from the natural tension that builds with each Killer turn searching for the hiding counselors and the dramatic face-offs that could mean the life of the counselor.
