The sleepy, Colorado tourist trap looks plum peaceful in its postcards, but there’s a darkness about the town you can’t quite put your finger on. Some even say the town has an “other side” where the crazy roams unchecked, but I can’t speak much to that. By the 1980s, things had gotten especially weird--at least until a bunch of kids started snooping around trying to get to the bottom of the town’s supernatural goings-on. While the adults were worried about their Tupperware parties, these youngsters were out tracking down clues and finding trouble before it found them. And rumor has it they found some kind of creature in the woods too which might explain all them FBI fellers around here asking questions. And here they come now, riding around town on their bicycles. I just hope they figure things out soon. Looks like some kind of dark cloud is rolling in right behind them. Overview:Take on the role of a group of kids and their newfound alien friend, and explore Wode Ridge looking for evidence of the town’s supernatural happenings. But be wary, the Darkness knows you’re on to it, so it’ll be trying to get you before you get it. Find enough evidence to figure out what monster is currently ailing the town and then defeat it before time runs out and the Darkness overtakes you.

But it is not that easy, as they need to identify who shares their convictions in order to partner against the other players...whilst keeping a look out for those only looking to fatten their purse.There are four roles that are dealt each turn:The "Consul" decides who plays in the round by assigning the other roles. The Consul is passed in clockwise order at the start of each round.There are two "Edils" who vote, secretly, whether Caesar should live or die.The "Praetor" sneaks a peek at one of the two Edils’ played vote cards and may then force them to exchange their card.These two votes are then shuffled, revealed and their results will either move the ‘kill’ or ‘save’ caesar token up the track. The game ends once everyone has played the Consul twice. Then players reveal their role card, total votes are tallied and Caeser either lives…or dies.But the decisions are not that easy. At the beginning of the game, players are dealt two faction cards (either in favour, against or neutral to “magnicide”) and must discard down to one mid-way through the game… keeping all players on their toes!

  Play as trolls rebuilding your abandoned kingdom under the mountain in In the Hall of the Mountain King. With muscle and magic, you'll unearth riches, dig out collapsed tunnels, and carve out great halls as you raise the toppled statues of your ancestors to their places of honor at the heart of the mountain. Gameplay is driven by the innovative cascading production system. Timing and tactics are key as you work to restore your home to its former glory and win the crown! Working on the same game board with the other players (but beginning at your own entrance), you'll dig a competing network of tunnels by spending increasingly valuable materials to lay polyomino tiles onto the map. You want to extend your tunnels to connect with buried gold and materials, with workshop locations that can transform resources, and especially with toppled statues. Statues are key to scoring, and you'll spend carts to move them through the tunnels to prime scoring locations near the heart of the mountain. A major aspect of the game is the cascading production. You begin with a line of four trolls, and every troll shows the combination of resources — gold, stone, iron, marble, carts, runes, and hammers — that it produces. When a new troll is hired, place it above two other trolls, forming a "pyramid". The new troll activates, gaining its resources, and any trolls beneath it ALSO activate, gaining any resources that they have room to carry. In this way as you hire more trolls, you gain bigger and bigger windfalls of resources as the end of the game nears. The timing of your hiring turns versus your building turns is important as you try to maximize your cascades while making sure you get the trolls you want from the shared market and also stay competitive on the map. The game ends shortly after the last player hires their sixth troll, then the player with the most honor (earned for digging tunnels of increasing quality, for excavating great halls, and for moving statues closer to the heart of the mountain, especially onto matching pedestals) is crowned the Mountain King and wins!

Each turn, a card is turned over that increases the gold found in a temple or shows a hazard. Players can attempt to escape, keeping the loot that they've acquired, or stay in the temple, hoping for increased profits. As players escape, those in the temple will acquire bigger shares of each pile of gold found, but also run the risk of dying if the same hazard card is drawn twice. Up to eight people can play this game, so it works very well at parties and other gatherings, as players decide whether or not to stay or leave the temples. With quality components and a compelling theme, Incan Gold will be the first choice of large groups looking for a fun filled game.GRYPHON BOOKSHELF SERIES #6Components:5 Temple Cards to make the game board8 Custom Player Meeples (NEW)30 Quest Cards (15 Treasure Cards,15 Hazard Cards)5 Artifact Cards110 Treasure Pieces (60 Turquoise, 30 Obsidian, 20 Gold)

Dates and product details are subject to change as new information from the manufacturer is updated. As Agents, you must work together to expose and eliminate all of the Traitors before it’s too late… Infiltraitors is a cooperative deduction game for 2 to 5 players. Each mission there will be Traitors (cards) in the center of the table that the Agents need to identify before time runs out. As Agents begin to collect Suspects, they need to strategically share information about them so others can deduce what number and suit they are. They’ll do this by playing cards next to their Suspects, and orienting them either: vertically (vertical cards have something to match the Suspect) or horizontally (horizontal cards do NOT match the suspect at all). A card matches the Suspect when: it’s the same suit as the Suspect, it’s the same number as the Suspect, or its number is a multiple or factor of the Suspect’s number. If an Agent is ready to guess they may attempt to Eliminate the Traitor, but beware — you have a limited number of bullets each mission! TEAMWORK AND STRATEGY: Dive into the world of espionage with Infiltraitors, a cooperative deduction game where 2-5 players work together to uncover and eliminate hidden traitors using clever clues and strategic card placement. DYNAMIC GAMEPLAY: Engage in 20 unique missions that challenge your deductive reasoning. Use vertical card placement to indicate matches and horizontal placements to signal non-matches, adding layers of strategy to every decision. ENHANCED INTERACTION: Utilize clue boards and dry-erase markers included in the game to share information and develop strategies effectively, ensuring a high level of team interaction and cooperation. ACCESSIBLE AND ENGAGING: Easy to learn yet challenging to master, Infiltraitors offers a streamlined experience similar to The Crew but simplifies mechanics to make it accessible for both new and experienced players. LIMITED RESOURCES, UNLIMITED FUN: Manage your limited ammunition wisely across various missions, enhancing the thrill of the game as you decide when to risk an elimination attempt against suspected traitors. Contents: 75 cards 12 bullet tokens 9 number tokens  4 arrow tokens 1 cardboard gun 1 gun tray (insert) 5 clue boards 1 dry erase marker 1 rulebook/mission book
