Dates and product details are subject to change as new information from the manufacturer is updated. A Game of Shifting Allegiances for 3 to 5 Players This is a fractured and wretched realm. Six once-great Houses can hardly stand, yet are at each other’s throats. Their armies decimated, they turn to you - the Dogs of War - to break their stalemate in exchange for fame and fortune. You and your most treacherous friends will compete, each wielding a unique and powerful advantage over the others. You will raise armies to do these rulers’ dirty works, fight their endless wars, and win at any cost. Allegiances - only as deep as your pockets are lined. Every turn a single play might sway an entire battlefield to victory, acquire new armies, tactics, and gold, turn a hard-won skirmish into a crushing defeat, or hollowly divert attention from your true motives. At the end of three long years of bloodshed, only the Dog of War most steeped in battlefield trophies and influence with the prevailing Houses will stand victorious.

Grifoni: Blades for Hire is a competitive eurogame for 1–4 players that blends worker placement, resource management, and branching narrative. Each player assumes the role of a commander in the legendary Grifoni Company, guiding their mercenary band through the bustling markets, backroom deals, and perilous missions of Renaissance Italy. Over a series of Acts, the game alternates between a story phase, using the Book of Adventures to present narrative choices that influence future events, and a management phase, where players recruit mercenaries, obtain equipment, and assign missions. A unique Glory/Supremacy system rewards different playstyles: pursue honor and prestige through noble deeds, or enforce your will through ruthless tactics, unlocking distinct objectives and rewards. At the end of the game, the commander with the most Victory Points earns renown as the most influential leader of the Company — but their choices will determine whether they are remembered as a hero or feared as a tyrant. Be Social To Be Solo (Social Stretch Goal): All tasks have been completed and the mission accomplished; thanks to you, Captains, Solo Mode is officially unlocked!

Idus Martii is a hidden role game for 5 to 8 players.According to Plutarch, a seer had warned that harm would come to Caesar no later than the Ides of March. On his way to the Theatre of Pompey, where he would be assassinated, Caesar passed the seer and joked, "The Ides of March are come", implying that the prophecy had not been fulfilled, to which the seer replied "Aye, Caesar; but not gone."Players are members of the Senate who must plot in favor of or against the magnicide of Julius Caesar. 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!

The weekly market has begun, and eager customers swarm everywhere—unfortunately, even at the stalls of your competitors. How fortunate that, with all the hustle and bustle, the odd bit of sabotage is unlikely to be noticed as rival guilds conspire against each other? In Tricky Traders, two players compete against each other by moving customers, rats, and characters amongst seven stalls in an attempt to manipulate the market to their advantage and win the game. Over three days, each divided into three phases, players influence the activities in the marketplace with the goal of causing one stall to flourish and another to fall in ruin. The challenge is that each player’s goals are secret! In each day phase, the opponents play two influence cards which are used to move the characters or trigger their various actions. Depending on where they are located, this can mean fame or sabotage for the surrounding stalls. The presence or absence of customers and rats also influences each day’s scoring of fame. At the end of the third day, players reveal their goal cards and calculate how effectively they have supported and sabotaged their target stalls. The player with the greatest total score is the winner.
