Ironwood is a rules-light, highly asymmetric, card-driven tactical game for 1-2 players. Each round, you and your opponent take turns playing a total of three faction-specific cards to use their action effects. These effects include positioning battlegroups, initiating combat, gaining crystals, applying temporary passive effects, and more. When combat occurs, you’ll use those same cards for their combat values, in a simultaneous bid to gain combat bonuses, inflict or deflect casualties, and increase your battlegroups’ dominance to win the battle. Ironwood also offers a solo mode against the Ironclad or the Woodwalkers. Each faction is controlled by a unique deck of 30+ action cards. On your turn, you select a card from your hand and resolve the action to progress toward victory. However, when a player initiates combat, you use the same cards in your hand to fight. Instead of resolving the action on the card, you and your opponent simultaneously bid a card with their combat values. With faction-specific decks, unique victory conditions, and very different playstyles, each faction feels completely different. The Ironclad represent the established, defensive faction that favors long-term development. The Woodwalkers have limited access to crystals, and their more aggressive playstyle focuses on sabotage, pillaging, and surprise attacks. As Commander of the Ironclad, your main goal is to lay the foundations of your forges and, once you have collected enough crystals, build these forges on the foundations. As Leader of the Woodwalkers, your mission is to find the ancient Totems of your people and secure them in the outer woods, out of reach of the Ironclad.

This booster pack contains 14 new cards and has been redesigned by Johannes Goupy and illustrated by artist Sylvain Trabut. Thanks to this expansion, you can now play the game with 2 to 6 players. Two simple rules have been added that significantly change the way you play and the scoring.

Furthermore, at the end of the round, each face-down card scores at least 5 points. It might seem like a small detail, but you'll find it makes a big difference. Go ahead, admit it: you suddenly feel like whistling and rolling around in the grass, don't you?

The seas are no longer safe, especially when the Kraken lurks beneath the waves! Captain Flip: In the Jaws of the Kraken is a mini-expansion for the award-winning game Captain Flip (Spiel des Jahres 2024). This expansion adds a new set of five adventure boards featuring the deadly Kraken, challenging players to collect treasure while evading the monster. The Kraken's presence adds tension and tactical twists. Players must carefully weigh risk and reward as they attempt to fill their columns with crew members, earn coins, and potentially retrieve the Treasure Map. Completing identical or varied crew columns yields new bonuses, allowing for bolder strategies. For those who prefer to sail alone, the Solo variant offers a scoring challenge where you try to earn as many coins as possible to climb the ranks from Landlubber to the legendary Legend of the Sea. The expansion adjusts the way columns are scored and introduces a race against time, with the Kraken's shadow growing with each move.

Here's the Carousel token pack: a must-have collection for Blood on the Clocktower fans looking to expand their games with all the experimental tokens released so far. This set includes all the experimental characters we've released to date, allowing you to delve deeper into the ever-expanding world of Blood on the Clocktower . It also includes three token boxes, providing ample space to keep everything organized and ready to play. What is the Carousel? The Carousel is an experimental token set , a collection of physical tokens containing every experimental character released so far. This includes all the experimental characters from the Kickstarter Edition (with potentially updated abilities), but excludes characters from the base game, as those are not experimental. The term "experimental" means just that: we expect most abilities to be in their final form and will eventually appear in planned expansion scripts, but some are still subject to change. Many other experimental characters have not yet been publicly revealed. What is the Carousel not? The Carousel isn't an expansion in the sense of composite character sets released with their own scripts and design goals. This is different from the three core sets you already know and love, or the sets teased in the final pages of the main rulebook. The Carousel bundles all the current experimental characters into a single physical product. This allows personal players to access the same set of experimental characters available in Blood on the Clocktower Online . This way, everyone gets the same Clocktower experience while we continue developing the expansion scripts. What's in the Carousel? This product has been kept simple to create an affordable option for those who want these tokens sooner rather than later. There's no fancy display box, no scripts (as this isn't an expansion), and no physical almanac. What you do get are seven punch boards filled with all those shiny new tokens, including memory tokens and a few extra night tokens. There are also three specially designed token boxes, which (with a little careful planning) fit neatly inside the Grimoire. Note: We assume you know this, but the Blood on the Clocktower game is required to fully utilize the Carousel tokens. Unless, of course, you just want to look at the beautiful icon graphics.

Explore the undiscovered regions of Arnak! Twisted Paths is the final major expansion for Lost Ruins of Arnak. It adds a new double-sided map larger than the base game; each side has its own layout, research track, and temple, plus brand-new mechanics and components (such as new temple tiles and a new resource: Dark Tablets). You can explore the day side of the map and ascend the Owl Temple, or brave the night and venture into the dark caverns of the Spider Temple. The highlight is the large, double-sided board with two new research tracks, each with unique rules and components. On the day side, you climb the white stone of the Owl Temple. This side uses new temple tiles that, when combined, can create additional idol spaces, and introduces a third research marker, a lantern, which unlocks even more powerful research rewards. On the night side, you'll explore the dark caverns of the Spider Temple. Here, a new resource, dark tablets, will appear, allowing you to summon mysterious altars and place artifacts directly on the research track to use during your ascent. Beware: dark tablets offer powerful rewards, but can also cost you points if you become overly ambitious. Besides the two new maps, the expansion also includes new guards, locations, and assistants. For solo play, there's additional content: Rival tiles for the new boards, plus Purple Rival tiles and Rival Objectives—two mini-expansions previously released online as print-and-play.

King of Tokyo: Origins is a standalone game in the King of Tokyo series that is intended as an entry point for new players, as it is a smaller, more affordable set. The game features four new monsters, an assortment of new power cards mixed with older ones, energy cubes and green dice with yellow characters. The gameplay remains the same as in the original game: to win, you must be the first to score 20 points or be the only creature left. During a turn you roll six dice, which show the following six symbols: 1, 2 or 3 points, energy, healing and attack. Over three consecutive rolls, you choose whether to keep or discard each die to gain points, gather energy, restore health, or attack other players. When you attack and are outside of Tokyo, you hit whoever is in Tokyo; if you're in Tokyo, you'll hit everyone outside of Tokyo! If someone's health drops to 0, they are out of the game. (You can't repair damage while in Tokyo, and the only way to leave the city is to be attacked... which may bring you to the brink of death.) When you collect energy, you store it in cubes, which you can use to purchase power cards, which have a permanent or temporary effect.
