Tower of Madness
Investigate Unspeakable Horrors, Without Losing Your Marbles! Literally. A three-dimensional clock tower, stands over a foot tall, filled with marbles. Thirty otherworldly tentacles push through the tower walls in every direction, in this high-tension, push-your-luck dice game of Lovecraft inspired horror. Each Location card has its own unique dice challenge. Fail and you may slip into insanity - or summon Cthulhu and end the world itself. But not all marbles that fall are bad. Some unlock further discoveries, including forbidden knowledge in the form of Spell cards. You win, either by saving the world as the best Investigator with the highest discovery total - or by being the Insane player who actually caused Cthulhu to rise! Tower of Madness is a cool dice game for 3-5 players, featuring unique characters and abilities, a pool of tokens that can be earned conferring Unnatural Influence, Spell cards with both Sane and Insane utility and an assortment of interesting dice rolling challenges at every location. It is a light-hearted casual game, with dramatic tension added by the tower and pulling out tentacles from the tower (much like the use of the Jenga tower in Dread the RPG).

Cheating Moth
Cheating is forbidden? Not in this naughty game of cards – in fact, you'll probably have to cheat in order to win. In Mogel Motte you want to get rid of all the cards in your hand before anyone else. Each player starts the round with a hand of eight cards, with one player (the oldest) receiving the guard bug – which stays on the table throughout the game – and one card being turnd face-up to start a discard pile. The cards are numbered 1-5, with the majority of them having only numbers; some cards have special abilities that come into play when added to the discard pile or in a player's hand. On a turn, a player places one card from her hand onto the discard pile; that card must be numbered exactly one higher or lower than the card on top of the discard pile. (The numbers wrap, so a 1 can be played on a 5 and vice versa.) If a player can't play a card, she draws one from the deck and her turn ends. There's another way to rid yourself of cards, though: cheating! Throughout the round, you can make cards disappear by dropping them on the floor, hiding them up your sleeve and so on. You must keep your hand of cards above the table at all times, you can't vanish more than one card at once, and you can't rid yourself of your final card this way. The player with the guard bug – and only him! – can call out other players for cheating, and no one can cheat while the accusation is being resolved. If the accusation was false, the Guard must draw a card; otherwise the cheating player takes back the card she tried to lose, is given a card from the Guard's hand as additional punishment, and becomes the new Guard. Cheating is a necessity as the "Cheating Moth" cards can't be played onto the discard pile, but must be disappeared via cheating. (The Guard, however, can play these cards as the Guard is not allowed to cheat.) The action cards work as follows: Ant: After an ant is played, everyone but the active player must take a card from the draw pile. Cockroach: After a cockroach is played, everyone races to play an identically-numbered card on top of it. Only the fastest player gets to leave her card in place. Mosquito: After a mosquito is played, everyone but the active player must slap the pile of cards. Whoever is slowest receives a card from the hand of all other players. Spider: After playing this, give a non-Cheating Moth card from your hand to another player. When one player has no cards in hand, the round ends. All other players score 10 points for each Cheating Moth in hand, 5 points for each action card, and 1 point for each number card. After a number of rounds equal to the number of players, the game ends and the player with the lowest score wins.
