Tanks: Panther vs Sherman is an easy-to-learn, quick play, small-scale game in which you take command of a tank platoon, seeking to destroy your opponent's tanks and secure victory.

Android Netrunner Data Pack:
Quorum
$14.99
The Flashpoint Cycle of Data Packs for Android: Netrunner has been full of desperate and violent Corps. Now, at the end of the cycle, as the U.S. government threatens to strip New Angeles of its privileges as a special commerce zone, Quorum gives us sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) that focus on getting back to business as usual. That means you'll find the Corps investing in their futures, deploying advanced new economic operations, bribing powerful and highly connected politicians, and layering their servers with brand new ice.
It's not just the Corps that are eager to end the violence and get back to business. Still, what you want to do and what you need to aren't always the same thing. In the wake of the Twenty-Three Seconds incident and the ensuing devastation, you'll still find the game's Anarchs looking to burn things down, even as the Criminals double their efforts to work undetected and the game's Shapers show off their newest tricks.

Veritas (from Cheapass Games)
(3-6 Players/60 mins)
$14.99
Veritas is a Euro-style board game about the preservation of truth in Dark Ages France. Each player represents some "truth" that's trying to be preserved for posterity by diligent book-copying monks. Players place and copy book tokens in monasteries, then pick up stacks of books and spread them around France. Each turn, a monastery will burn down, and the books in it may be destroyed. After the monasteries have burned down, players can move through them, so travel on the board gets faster as the game progresses. When scoring chips are drawn, each player whose ideology dominates a region scores points. The first player to score 100 points wins, becoming the dominant truth as the Dark Ages
end.
AND THEN COLOR THE BOXES AND ENTER IN THE CONTEST!

Captain Treasure Boots
(from Cheapass Games)
(2-6 Players/40 mins)
$14.99
Captain Treasure Boots is a fast-playing pirate-themed board game. Players gather treasure from islands around the board, and bring the treasure home to port. Treasures are worth points, but they also give you special abilities, so you'll have to decide how much to keep, and how much to cash in.
Of course, treasure is never safe aboard your vessel! Players can attack each other and steal treasure - and the board is home to a few "Privateers", extra pirate ships that can be controlled by anyone.
AND THEN COLOR THE BOXES AND ENTER IN THE CONTEST!

Conan (2016)
Finally Back in Stock!
(2-5 Players/60-120 mins.)
$119.99
Conan, designed by Fred Henry and based on the Conan universe by Robert E. Howard, is a scenario-based semi-cooperative asymmetric miniatures board game. One player is the Opponent, playing the Opposition forces, and the other players (1 to 4) play Conan and his companions: Shevatas the thief, Hadrathus the Priest/Sorcerer, Belit the pirate queen, Valeria the warrior, etc. The game is based purely on Robert E. Howard's novels and short stories (and not the movies or other non-Howardian material). The publisher has hired Patrice Louinet, a Howard expert, to make sure the art and the scenarios are compatible with Howard's vision.
Each game is a scenario, played on a map. There will be several maps - Pictish Village, Underground temple, Tavern, Pirate ship, etc. - and each map can have several scenarios set on it. The game is fast, one hour approximately. It's possible to play several scenarios in a campaign, but you can also play each scenario individually. There will be a dozen playable scenarios in the base box.
