Bonjour, and welcome to Postcards, a board game about exploring the beauty of France — one postcard at a time!
Hop on your bicycle and set out on a picturesque adventure, as you compete with your friends to enjoy the most unforgettable holiday! Designed for 1-4 players, Postcards is a family friendly game that takes you on a journey across France, filled with inspiring culture, stunning landscapes, and delicious local cuisine.
The aim of the game is simple: cycle through the 13 different regions of France, visit as many iconic locations as possible, and share your travels by sending postcards back home. Each postcard you send brings you one step closer to victory, so grab your friends, get pedaling, and let the adventures begin!
On your turn, you'll be playing Travel cards to perform the different actions available: take a new Postcard, set up Camp, put a Stamp on one of your Postcards, or Move to a new region.
Postcards are the main way you'll be scoring points during the game, so be sure to look out for postcards from areas which match your travel itinerary objective! Certain Postcards are worth more points than others, but be careful: the higher its point value, the more stamps you'll need to send it off.
Stamping your Postcards uses up your precious Travel cards, limiting what you can do on your turn, so choose wisely… To send a Postcard, you have to be in the region it's from, so make sure you have enough Travel cards to get there!
All that cycling is hard work, so be sure to spend some time relaxing! The Camp action allows you to enjoy local attractions in the regions you visit, collecting souvenirs as you go, which give you extra points and bonuses during play.
The game ends when one player has sent their fourth postcard, and the winner is the player who’s collected the most points through their travels.
Are you ready to set out on a journey of a lifetime?
Postcards is a simple game that whole family can enjoy, but has plenty of strategy to keep you thinking as you play! Lovingly designed and illustrated by a team of self-professed francophiles, Postcards is sure to make you want to plan your own trip to France.
A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players.
Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes “boop”. Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten next to it one space away. Line up three kittens in a row to graduate them into cats… and then, get three cats in a row to win.
But that isn’t easy with both you AND your opponent constantly “booping” kittens around. It’s like... herding cats!Can you “boop” your cats into position to win?Or will you just get “booped” right off the bed?
Approachable but challenging abstract game. Plays in 20 to 30 minutes.
Features a quilted, fabric board that lays over the back of the box, completing the miniature bed playing surface. 8 wood kittens and cats per player - 32 adorable cat pieces in all!
A mysterious wanderer has arrived in Magoria, and with him, the rules of illusion are changing. The Arcanist’s power grants new ways to perform, with supernatural workers aiding magicians and Enchantments transforming tricks into something far beyond mere sleight of hand. Arcane Shards provide an untapped source of power, while the Arcanist’s shifting influence brings dynamic challenges each round. Those who dare to embrace the unknown will rise above the rest.
Trickerion: Arcane Arts expands Trickerion: Legends of Illusion with new worker types, new ways to prepare Tricks, and a twist to the game's Action economy through Arcane Shards. The Arcanist, a wandering master of forgotten arts, moves between the Downtown, The Market Row, and the Dark Alley, and wherever he stops, players gain access to a set of Arcane Actions. Through the Arcanist, magicians can now recruit four new Supernatural Workers - the Specter, Golem, Trickster, and Shapeshifter - each with unique abilities. These workers follow special assignment rules, making them efficient but requiring careful planning.
The expansion also introduces Enchantments, a new mechanic that allows players to modify their tricks permanently. By spending Enchantments instead of owning certain components, players can enhance their performances with lasting magical effects. Each Enchantment grants a bonus whenever its trick is performed. Additionally, players can now acquire Arcane Shards, an advanced resource that functions similarly to Trickerion Shards but offers increased action efficiency, even in the Theater.
With its' new action economy, customizable tricks, and powerful supernatural allies, Trickerion: Arcane Arts offers a fresh, dynamic experience while seamlessly integrating with the base game and its expansions.

The great and forgotten Kami have returned from the underworld, displeased with the affairs of the Empire’s present Shōgun. At the start of spring in the Great New Year, the Kami have gathered their sacred clans with one quest: reclaim the lands of Nippon and return them to their honorable, spiritual traditions. However, each clan is bound by their own proud traditions to a unique vision for this great return and must wage a powerful diplomatic war across eight provinces. Alliances must be forged, betrayal is inevitable, honorable standing rises and falls. Political mandates must be navigated and devastating war must be fought, each won by expert skill and cunning negotiation. And only one may stand victorious at the coming of winter. You, honorable Shōgun, lead one of these great clans. Do you have the strength of honor, virtue, and spirit, as well as the mastery of steel necessary to deliver on this ancient promise?
Rising Sun is a board game for 3 to 5 players set in legendary feudal Japan. Each player chooses a Clan and competes to lead theirs to victory by accumulating Victory Points over the course of the Seasons. Each Clan possesses a unique ability and differs in Seasonal Income, Starting Honor Rank, and Home Province.Over the course of the game, players will forge and break alliances, choose political actions, worship the gods, customize their clans, and position their figures around Japan. In the process, Honor is a palpable element in Rising Sun: Having high Honor gives several advantages, while having low Honor may grant the allegiance of the darker elements of the world. But above all, Honor settles all disputes: Whenever there is a tie, the tied player with the highest Honor wins.
In Rising Sun, players are encouraged to use diplomacy, negotiation, and even bribery to further their cause. Players can make deals at any point in the game but no deals are truly binding.Victory Points can be gained in several ways, from winning battles, to harvesting the right provinces, to playing to the Virtues accumulated by your Clan.
The game is played over the course of 4 rounds or Seasons: Spring, Summer, and then Autumn; when Winter comes, the game draws to a close and players calculate bonuses to decide who is the winner.Each Season is divided into five phases:1) Seasonal Setup because every Season has a certain Season deck with different cards,2) Tea Ceremony in which players sit down and negotiate their Alliances for the Season,3) Political Phase during which players will select Political Mandates to prepare their Clans and position their forces,4) War Phase, during which players battle over several Provinces, and5) Seasonal Cleanup.
As already mentioned, the start of the Winter Season signifies the end of the game. Peace falls over the land as it gets covered in white snow, and a new Emperor will rise under the power of the great Kami.
Moonrollers is a push-your-luck dice rolling game for 2-5 players where you compete to hire new crew for your starship.
Roll dice and commit them to cards, earning prestige and unlocking new abilities. Push your luck! Roll again to complete cards before your opponents or attempt hazardous missions for bonus end-game points. But risk losing all progress on a turn when you bust and risk losing all bonus points if you have the most hazards.
The game ends when one player acquires a matching set of cards, and the player with the most points wins.
The Moonrakers are on the brink. They have thrown off the oppressive yoke of the Utopian Alliance, but they are in a constant struggle to stay independent and find their identity. Alliances are formed and factions arise as the Moonrakers agree to turn their focus outward instead of squabbling over what little they have. Captains push out into unknown corners of the system in attempt to gain resources, influence, and power. The tenuous alliances will only last so long and soon someone must emerge to lead or they will fall.
Brink is a worker placement, trading, and hidden voting game that brings the world of Moonrakers to a new genre. It combines the strategy and planning of a worker placement game with the negotiation and “above the table” play found in Moonrakers and Fractured Sky.
Each turn, players will place one of three different sized ships (workers) onto a grid of hexes. Each hex will gain the player resources and actions, but even more importantly, it will give them power within a faction based on the color of the hex. At the end of each round, players will vote on which faction will score points, which is then multiplied by the amount of power each player has in that factions color on the board.
Players will upgrade their ships, hire ambassadors, explore new systems, and spend influence to complete faction objectives, granting them new abilities. Each game, the map will reveal in a totally new way as regions are explored, presenting new strategies as well as strengths and weaknesses to existing strategies. The player with the most prestige points at the end of 3 rounds wins!
Pillars of Fate is a 2-player lane battler with a twist of deduction, misdirection, and asymmetric powers, set in the Veiled Fate universe.
Send your champions on quests by playing cards in three lanes, until each player has played three cards in each lane. Each quest has two possible outcomes — gaining or losing points — that are determined by the suits of the cards played in that lane. Play your cards wisely to win (or purposely lose) quests.
Hide your intentions with one face-down card per lane. Use your divine abilities at the opportune time to gain the upper hand. Only one will emerge victorious at the end of three rounds!
TAKE A DEEP BREATH, AND RELAX...
You have come to the lake hoping to see a rare and beautiful sight. The lilies of the lake only open their blossoms in the rain, and only rarely do all eight kinds of lily bloom at once. The goal of A Gentle Rain is to place the lake tiles in such a way to cause all eight types of lilies to bloom before you run out of tiles and the rain ends.
Place each new tile you draw next to a tile already in play, making sure to match the colors of all the tile edges touching the tile you are placing. Each time you manage to complete a square of four touching tiles, a blossom opens between them.
Keep Score, or don’t.
In Tea Witches, tea vendors from across the land must summon and serve lines of witches in order to gain their loyalty, all while sending out magical TeaPups to entice Celebri-Teas and find ways to further enhance their prestige. By growing their loyal fan base, upgrading their hut to maximize service, and collecting all the right tips and toppings they can prove that their tea reigns supreme.
The game lasts four rounds, each representing one day of the Teaquinox Faire. Each day has two phases. In the summoning phase, players simultaneously draw a crowd of witches to their tea hut, being mindful not to push their luck too far as any identical witches will cause a hex, which results in witches leaving the queue.
In the service phase, players take turns sending their adorable TeaPups to various Bootiques in the city to gather toppings and collect tea from the rotating crystal fountain in order to serve witches waiting at their hut. Additionally, TeaPups can help players collect powerful upgrades, attract Celebri-teas, and brew up Special-Teas with bonus abilities. Clever TeaPup placement can also help you complete to-go orders for witches out and about in the city center.
Completing tea orders, attracting celebrities, earning money, and upgrading your tea hut will earn players prestige, and at the end of the fourth day, the player with the most prestige will be declared the greatest tea witch of the Teaquinox Faire!
