Motor City is a strategic roll-and-write game about running a car factory during Detroit's heyday. In Motor City you have two player skins, each with multiple areas. These areas are represented by tracks that you check off as you progress. Many of the tracks connect to other elements in the game, giving you bonuses and opportunities to unlock more points along the way. Progressing on all of these tracks earns varying amounts of points, progress and bonuses. The game lasts eight rounds. Each round you roll colored dice based on the number of players and place them on spots on the blueprint table based on value and color. Each player chooses a die and uses it. Once everyone has chosen a die twice, all players may use the remaining die on the blueprint table. After eight rounds, you score points for your progress in engineering, assembly, testing and more. The one with the most points wins. Motor City has a solo mode where you try to beat your own score against an auditor who chooses dice and blocks off areas on your sheet. The difficulty level can be easily adjusted by changing the colors of the dice during setup, without any additional rules. Motor City is game 3 of the Motor City Gameworks Loaded Roll and Write series.

Resist! is a fast-paced solitaire game in which you take on the role of the Spanish Maquis, fighting against the Franco regime. As you go through the rounds you take on increasingly difficult missions and by completing missions you earn the points needed to win. If you don't beat missions and enemies, you can lose. At the end of each round you must choose whether to end the resistance or take the risk and undertake another mission. At the start of the game you assemble a team of twelve Maquis, who are represented by a deck of cards. The core of the game is the tension between keeping your Maquis hidden from Franco or revealing them to unleash their full potential. Unfortunately, public Maquis are removed from your deck and you probably won't be able to use them for the rest of the game.

Players then score sticker points on completed boards, lose points for incomplete boards, and score bonus points if they have the longest completed board(s) or if they complete any of the four random goal cards in play at the start of the game brought.
