Smirk & Dagger Games

This fully cooperative game, for 1-4 players, features a dice tower as an oil platform, which randomly drops dice onto the game board. In this respect, this is a reverse tower defense, where players try to push back and contain the oil, retrieve dice from the water and save marine life. At the end of a given turn, if the team can complete all three objectives and overcome any losses on the board, they win. Otherwise, the game ends when the 60 dice from the bag run out or they are unable to correct any of the three losing conditions.

A deceptively cute, deceptively challenging & creepy abstract strategy game for two players. Every time you place a kitten on the bed it creates a "boop". That means it pushes every other kitten next to it one space away. Line up 3 kittens to get them promoted to cats... and then you have to get 3 cats in a row to win. But that's not easy with both you and your opponent constantly "booping" kittens. And with this new version, things just got boopier and spookier - with new ghost cats floating between the spaces. Those cats are so scary that other cats just jump over each other to get away!

A unique trick-taking game about flying, flipping cards, and trying not to get too close to the sun. Icarus and his friends have built handmade wings. Day and night they fly, overjoyed with their new freedom, higher and higher. But whoever gets too close to the sun might just fall out of the sky. In this trick-taking game, winning tricks sends you higher into the air. At some point, you'll want to start losing tricks to avoid flying straight into the sun. That's easier said than done, because every played 5-card turns day into night or night into day. This causes you to flip your cards, turning high values into low values, and vice versa. If your opponents can force you to fly too high, they might be in a better position to win. Trickarus contains double-sided cards with one value for daytime and another for nighttime. Both values together always equal 10, so a 3, for example, flips to a 7. Additionally, Sun cards are trump during the day, and Moon cards are trump at night. Completely rethink your trick-taking strategy: mediocre cards can suddenly seem hopeless, while 1s and 2s become particularly powerful when they flip to 8s and 9s. Japanese card games like Trickarus are loved worldwide by trick-taking fans for their simplicity and clever twists.
