Having joined the Red Suits, you and others dressed in potentially fatal fashion have formed Away Teams and are already beaming down to the Flat Planet. As Events are revealed that combine to create a mission timeline, it is now up to each of you to take Actions in the hope that you will be the one to land a Red Suit on the final Event. Do this and earn yourself a promotion out of the Red Suits and into a colour that's not only flattering... but also comes with a much higher life expectancy.Or, you could be the only Red Suit left alive, as the planet is fraught with potentially deadly Attacks. You don't want to be going home in carbonite, do you? Then you'd better keep a Teleport close at hand.A card game for those of us who know better than to step onto an alien planet while dressed in red. And especially for those who don't.Congratulations on becoming a Red Suit - it's a job for life!

The Faerie Queen has decreed that flowers must be planted on the World Bloom, promising the champions of the effort a handsome reward. Unable to settle on a single best approach for the task, the Faerie Guild fractured into several sects, each of whom believe their own magic is best suited for the task. In Chrysanthemum, you will learn the magic of the guilds as you travel across the World Bloom, gathering and planting seeds in pursuit of the Faerie Queen's reward.

  Fathom is a tile-laying, pattern-building game of deep-sea exploration in which you take on the role of marine biology teams competing to uncover the secrets of an uncharted, underwater ecosystem around a fictional island. The depths are vast and time is limited, so savvy decision-making under pressure is crucial to a successful expedition. Choose wisely which creatures to investigate as those you don't pursue may be discovered by your opponents. Over six rounds of simultaneous play, guide your team's boat and submersible across the ocean. Scan the unmapped depths, and place tiles representing signs of marine life. Descend into the darkness and reveal these tiles to discover remarkable creatures. At game's end, you gain points based on the scoring criteria of species you've discovered. Some thrive in a homogenous environment; others fare better surrounded by diversity. The solitary life may suit certain creatures, but straying from the safety of a group spells disaster for others. Discover the most synergistic ecosystem to win!
