Deckscape: Test Time

An escape room game packed into one single deck of cards. Players are trapped in the Laboratory of Doctor Thyme, in the room full of puzzles that need solving in order to escape the room and secure a job with the famous doctor!

WordSpiel

WordSpiel is a simple, spiraling word game that keeps gameplay quick and turns short. Each round, players are dealt ten cards. The goal of each round is to be the first to get rid of all your cards. Create a new word based off the last card (or cards) play, and watch the spiral grow! 

HOP!
HOP! is a dexterity game about trying to climb your character up a three layered board. Everyone starts by placing their character on level one. The game will end once someone reaches the seventh level or loses all five of her balloons.
 
Martial Art
The goal of Martial Art is to either win twelve land points or three bridge icons. Each player chooses a card from his hand and places it face down on the table. The cards are then flipped and the card with the highest value wins. However, some cards have special abilities which can change the tide of war.
 
Spoils of War
Inspired by the classic dice game Liars Dice, Spoils of War is a game of deception, betting, and press-your-luck.
 
Players roll their dice and keep the results hidden under their dice cups. One by one you bid, trying to guess how many of each number players have collectively rolled. Get it right, and you'll collect Viking treasure, get it wrong and it will cost you gold. 
Agamemnon
A deeply strategic two player game, in which the game board is made up of a series of spaces connected by threads of fate.
 
Players compete to control the most threads with strength, power, and sometimes just sheer numbers.
 
A double-sided board, where one side randomizes where the different threads of fate lie, keeps the game fresh over multiple playthroughs.

 

Super Mario: Level Up!

Played on a 3D game board, each player starts each round with a new Line Up card which lists six characters. Players take turns moving characters up the board, collecting power ups as they go. You score points at the end of each round based on the level of the board the characters from your Line Up card end on.

Family friendly and gamer friendly, the game does Mario proud. 

Hotshots

Choose one of the four firefighters and use press-your-luck mechanics and cooperation to defeat the fire before it burns eight of the nineteen forest tiles.

Beautifully and richly thematic, Hotshots balances nicely between being easy to learn and challenging to play. You face tough choices, have to work together, and won’t find it easy. 

Go Nuts for Donuts

Players are competing for donuts, drafting them simultaneously from the donut row. But if two or more players go after the same donut, no one gets it and it’s immediately discarded.

Each round is fast and the simulations gameplay keeps everyone involved. The rules are also quite simple and easy to teach, and could easily be played by families (though everyone is likely to want a donut afterwards!).

Hafid’s Grand Bazaar

Outbid and outwit your opponents in this game of set collection and player negotiation. Acquire spices, textiles, livestock, and other exotic goods by bidding on caravans from lands across the ancient world. Manipulate the market and each other to acquire the most wealth and become the greatest merchant in Hafid’s Grand Bazaar!
