Damaged games

On the day the last snowflake of winter has melted away, all the critters come out of their cozy homes to celebrate... and that day is today! Maple Valley's annual Spring Festival is a gathering of friends welcoming the warm months ahead, and you don't have much time to prepare! While the adults get the village into shape, the youngest (and fastest) forest animals from each den are sent through the blooming forests to complete the final tasks that will make the festival a success. The paths are not always clear; you must climb, swim and dig your way into the richest groves, search for fresh spring ingredients to help villagers do their shopping, and unearth curiosities that will attract skilled scouts to your growing team. The sun will set before you know it; Will it be your hard work that makes this year's festival the best ever? Set in the delightful world of Creature Comforts, Maple Valley is a game of travel, finding friends and celebrating new beginnings for 1-5 critters.

Stars of Akarios is a story-based, cooperative campaign game set in the Akarios Galaxy. Throughout Stars of Akarios you will fight in epic space battles, upgrade your ship and explore the reaches of space. The game is built on four core pillars: Space Combat, World Exploration, Space Exploration and Player Progression. Each pillar works together to create a cohesive and epic, sci-fi board game experience. You and your fellow cadets are almost done with your pilot training at the Akarios Institute when an unknown enemy attacks your home planet Medellia. You must fight back with the war hero Captain Soma and her ship, the Sparrow. You'll have to step out of your fighter planes to explore hostile worlds and ships, testing your cunning as you seek a new home for your civilization. Use your pilots' skills to complete the challenges you encounter in the limited time. Manage your ship's resources as you explore new areas of space and undertake missions to survive in the unknown. Even if you run out of resources, you can continue exploring, but you risk starting your next encounter at a disadvantage. Your pilots' skills will grow as you test your resolve against the enemies in Stars of Akarios. Upgrade your characters' unique abilities and skill trees to customize your playing experience. The 200-page screenplay book unfolds as a “choose your own adventure.” Every choice, success and failure will shape your story. It will take several playthroughs to see the entire Akarios galaxy. There are 8 different pilots, each with their own unique progression sheet and skill set. The campaign starts with 4 pilots available and the others are unlocked by the choices you make. There are 10 pilot ships, each with their own set of skills and class. The ship class determines what type of upgrades the ship can equip. Equip a combination of upgrade and skill cards from over 55 weapon cards, 55 engine cards, 55 tech cards, many copilots, ship skills and pilot skills. Place each upgrade on your dual player board where everything has its own place.

Set in the world of Cthulhu: Death May Die and inspired by the books of HP Lovecraft, Dark Providence is a competitive game in which players take on secret roles as Explorers and Cultists from the most influential cities in the United States during the Great Depression. As the Cultists explore the vulnerability of the nation with the aim of remaking it, the Researchers take the opposite side, standing against this dark prophecy. Each player's secret role determines how they will score points at the end of the game, however, this is not a cooperative game. Throughout the game, players use influence to bid for the right to claim asset cards, control cities, and collect myth cards. Each newly acquired asset card improves the players' deck and thus the resources and actions they can perform during a turn. In an effort to keep their identities secret and avoid madness, players perform a multitude of actions, such as persuading hired agents to their side of the battle, assassinating other players' agents, gathering additional help from myth- cards, blocking other players from claiming cards, and sealing or protecting gates, among others to gain victory points. At the end, only the player with the most victory points from the dominant side of the battle wins the game!
