There’s gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and you’ve come to find (or steal) your share. You’re staying at one of the three major establishments in Deadwood where you and your associates are working together to steal some of the gold-filled safes floating around town. But you suspect that the “friends” you’re working with are secretly plotting to keep all the gold for themselves. Will you be ready to turn on them before they shoot you in the back? In Deadwood 1876, you use cards from your hand to try to win Safes from other players. Safes contain Badges, Gold, or Showdown Guns. Near the end of the game, players with Badges get extra turns. After the final turn, the team with the most Gold will advance to the Final Showdown. There, teammates will have to fight each other to the death using Showdown Guns. The last person alive is the winner! The game is a balance between teamwork and selfishness. If a player uses all of their best cards to hunt down Gold for their team, they’ll be defenseless to fight against their teammates if they go to the Final Showdown. But if a player only goes after Guns and saves all of their best cards, their team might not have enough Gold to actually reach the Final Showdown. If someone on your team doesn’t seem to be pulling their weight, they might be plotting to steal your gold after using you to get to the Finals! There may come a point where you need to gather Showdown Guns instead of Gold, or attack, mislead, frame, abandon, or banish your own teammates. Deadwood 1876, volume 3 in the "Dark Cities" series from Facade Games, can have 2-9 players. Learn in 20 min or less, play in 20-40 min or less.

  New expansions bring deeper strategy and enhanced deduction to a game that asks one not-so-simple question—can you hide in plain sight? The Tribunal expansions elevate every aspect of a strategic deduction game that already stands apartWhen Veiled Fate first launched in 2020, it didn't fit in any genre—and still doesn't. It requires social deduction, but that's not how you win. You win through strategic decisions that are informed by the deduction. Hence strategic deduction. The Tribunal expansions supercharge both the strategy & deduction in Veiled Fate—further elevating a game that already stands apart. HADRIA EXPANSIONA being to be feared, Hadria mercilessly annihilates any demigod found ahead of her on the score tracker at the end of the game—meaning having the most points isn't always a winning strategy. Use new powers to move Hadria and create all kinds of new quandaries for your opponents. The Hadria Expansion is focused on introducing more strategic variables to the game and adds a new miniature, renown tracker, and favor cards. CELESTIALS EXPANSIONEach of the seven celestial beings bestows one player with an asymmetric win condition & abilities. All other players will have to adapt their strategies around the Celestial's win condition to ensure their own victory. The Celestials expansion is focused on introducing more deduction and misdirection to the game and adds a new miniature, renown tracker, spell cards, and 7 celestial cards. SERVANTS EXPANSIONEach servant influences the quest in its region, so players must consider their effects when determining where to move their Demi. Moving the servants introduces new strategic and tactical options towards victory. The Servants expansion adds 3 new miniatures and cards. Servants can be commanded by all players. RENEWAL EXPANSIONEvery time a demigod enters The Pools when being moved out of the Abyss, the player moving them activates the current modifier on the Renewal Dice. That play then re-rolls the renewal dice, resulting in a new modifier for the next player to move a demigod from the Abyss to the Pools. The Renewal Dice replaces the permanent 'refresh card' effect that normally activates in the Pools, creating more dynamic gameplay and ever-shifting strategies surrounding how players use the Abyss.

World War II is ongoing. Germany broadly uses Enigma rotor cipher machines. The breaking of the Enigma code gives the Allies an advantage in the war — but this is just one side of the coin because the Enigma code is based on chaos, a non-measurable force lurking beyond the boundaries of our world and eager to consume all its flesh. The code decryption would stop the chaos invasion into our world. An "Agency" operates in a secret heavily-guarded Victorian mansion somewhere in London suburbs; it has been opposing the supernatural for centuries. To break the Enigma code, the Agency has gathered the world's best decrypters together. You are one of them. Your mission is to break the Enigma code as soon as possible while wandering inside the mansion with an ever-changing layout. At least, you tell others so. In fact, you might pursue completely different goals... Enigma: Beyond Code is a game of deduction. Victory depends on your ability to understand the motives of other players and locate the cards you need — while keeping others away from the cards they are looking for. Each play takes 5-10 min or less, and it is best to play Enigma: Beyond Code up to three victories. In the beginning, each player receives a character card featuring a cryptology expert who has arrived at the Agency's mansion to break the Enigma code. But only one of them is the true decrypter; the others are just masterfully posing as cryptologists. Each of them has a unique secret mission. To accomplish the missions of their characters, the players view mansion cards in turns; each of these cards represents a room or an object inside the mansion. The invited experts work as a team, which means that upon looking at a mansion card, you must tell others what is there. You may either lie or tell the truth — that depends on your goals. Lying is always a risk, while telling the truth may allow your opponents to win. The player who first accomplishes their character's mission wins the game. If no one does so within the game's time limit, chaos breaks into our world, and all players lose!
