Deadfall is a new bluffing game that uses a very simple deck: just the numbers 1 to 10, with 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, and so on. (It’s the same deck as PAIRS.)

How it works: each Anaxi word card has a different word on it – these words are commonly used in everyday life. Each round, draw 3 Anaxi word cards and overlap them.

Feed the Shoggoth! is a devious and fast-paced card game, in which players each control a different cult faction, facing a very angry and hungry Shoggoth in the middle of the table.

Players earn points and win the game by sacrificing Minions from their cult to the Shoggoth. However the Shoggoth is indiscriminate in whom it eats; if you can’t feed the Shoggoth on your turn with a Minion, it eats you, and you’re out of the game!
