A witch named Hester was hung, burned, and buried under a tree. Some time later, the family of Hester come to Harrow County to destroy it, but standing in their way is eighteen-year-old Emmy who mysteriously has powers of her own. In the asymmetric combat game Harrow County: The Game of Gothic Conflict, players can play as one of the Protectors, trying to rescue townsfolk, or as one of the family, trying to destroy Harrow County. You can instead play as a third faction that originates from the surprise return of Emmy's twin sister, Kammi, who wants to rule Harrow County. Players activate mason jars to move their haints (undead creatures) around the hex-based board as they try to accomplish their missions. Combat is resolved using a never-before-seen cube tower that's built into the actual box. Finally, a third player can enter the game: Hester, the dead witch buried under the tree. She controls the roots of the tree and using the cube tower, Hester can infect haints on her roots, which causes a snake to be placed into its ear. That player can still control this haint, but now so can Hester. If Hester comes back to life, then she needs to eat the other legends to gain all her power back to win. In short, Harrow County is a thematic, tactical game of territory control and enemy elimination to determine the fate of Harrow County.

  We all remember and love the stories we discovered as kids — especially when they’re just as rewarding to revisit as adults. And their original literary form isn't the only way to enjoy them. What if classic tales were reimagined as thrilling detective adventures? Winnie the Pooh: Serious Detective is a narrative-driven board game in which players take on the roles of beloved childhood characters — now turned detectives — to solve challenging and often peculiar mysteries. Inspired by the works of A. A. Milne, Lewis Carroll, and Arthurian legends, the game’s three scenarios are rich with literary charm, layered storytelling, clever wordplay, and just the right touch of whimsy. You’ll revisit the Hundred Acre Wood, Wonderland, and the court of Camelot — but not as you remember them. Something strange is afoot, and only a keen mind can uncover the truth. Each case was illustrated by a different artist in their unique style. The mysteries unfold across a beautifully illustrated map of interconnected location cards. Players use both shared and personal action dice to explore scenes, uncover clues, and reveal story cards — including testimonies, observations, puzzles, and more. Every discovery adds depth to the story and brings the group closer to cracking the case. Though designed with adults in mind, the game is also accessible and engaging for younger players — making it a perfect choice for a family game night with a touch of mystery.
