The Guardians Explore
(1-5 Players/90 mins.)
$39.99
The Guardians: Explore is a card drafting, deck refinement adventure game for 2-5 players, running eight total turns, and games lasting approximately 45-90 minutes long. It's broken down
into two chapters; Warm Up and Battle.
Players begin their Warm Up with a card draft that shapes their strategy for the battle to come. A unique super card is selected in secret to give each player their own special strength and two unique missions provide optional goals.
Now fortified with equipment, skills, and familiars, the players begin the Battle! By drawing and cleverly playing cards from the top of their deck, players build the power needed to defeat monsters and acquire trophies with each turn.
During play, unneeded cards can be thrown away and powerful locations can be fortified with blanket forts to prepare player's for the final showdown. Work together to defeat the mighty boss at the heart of the monster invasion and save Arthursburg!

Wrath of Dragons
(2-6 Players/90 mins.)
$59.99
In Wrath of Dragons, each player assumes the role of a dragon that, over the course of many centuries, flies into different regions of the Old World to lay waste to settlements, scorch fields, snatch livestock, take gold, and capture nobles.
After six centuries have passed, the devastation, destruction, and fear that the dragons have caused is scored, and the dragon that earns the most victory points wins!

Necronomicards
(2-4 Players/30-40 mins.)
$29.99
Match magic symbols to summon elder gods, demons, and mythological monsters, then use them to attack your opponents.
You start with two decks of cards: SPELLS and SUMMONS. Spell cards each have 4-6 different magic symbols on them. Each player starts with 2 Spell cards and then draws 1 new card every turn. You can never have more than 6 Spell cards in your hand at once though. The goal is to pair up matching symbols across your Spell cards to create hands, sort of like a weird, alternate universe version of poker. Once you've matched up a complete Spell hand, you trade it in to draw Summon cards. How many Summon cards you can draw in a turn depends on the complexity of the hand you trade in for it.Summon cards depict a deity, demon, or monster from a variety of mythological, religious, literary, or just plain made-up sources. Each Summon card has an ability that you can play against your competitors to make them lose turns, discard spell cards, or other nefarious setbacks. Each and every Summon card you play puts you one step closer to victory, until...
For a 30-45 minute game, the first person to play 7 Summon cards wins! Want a longer game? Really challenge yourself and play to 13 Summon cards. That's the basics. Pretty simple, huh? Oh, one little twist I forgot to mention...
Included in the Summon deck are the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They're extremely powerful cards by themselves, but if by some unholy fluke you manage to draw and play all four of them in a game, you win instantly, no matter how many other Summon cards you've played.
And... shuffled into the Spell card deck are also Curse cards, which can totally throw off even the best player's strategy. They can make YOU lose turns, give other players cards, or other setbacks, so watch out! The tables can turn at any time and nobody is ever safe for long.

Saboteur: The Duel
(1-2 Players/30 mins.)
$14.99
Saboteur: Duel is a standalone version of the famous card game Saboteur for one and two players. When playing alone, you want to collect as much gold as possible by digging new tunnels in the mine; when playing with an opponent, you'll just want to collect more than that player, but naturally your opponent will try to block your progression by all means.
In this card game, you play path or action cards. The path cards form a maze in the direction of the six goal cards, which contain a variable number of gold stones. The action cards are used to hinder your opponent or to help you to repair broken equipment. A greedy troll also lurks in the mine, and you will have to pay him to progress and he doesn't give back any change!

Dark Mages
(2-8 Players/20-60 mins.)
$24.99
In a distant land covered in lush forests and bordered by hills and mountains, magicians battle mercilessly on the plains of Thärin. The end goal: to defeat all adversaries and become the Northland continent's most legendary magician.
Dark Mages is a 120-card game that can be played by 2 to 8 players. It is a game of both luck and strategy that can last anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes.
This game contains 8 character cards, 112 playing cards, rules and instructions, 7 polyhedron dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 and d00), and a velvet pouch.

Portal Heroes
(2-5 Players/45 mins.)
$17.99
The portals of Molthar have opened! The players travel through the portal into a world of a type that you know only through folklore and fairy tales. By collecting magic pearls and trading them in a timely fashion for fantastic and powerful character cards, you draw ever closer to victory - but only the one who first manages to gather twelve insignias of power will save Molthar and win the game.

Eclipse
(2-6 Players/60-200 mins.)
$99.99
The galaxy has been a peaceful place for many years. After the ruthless Terran-Hegemony War (30.027-33.364), much effort has been employed by all major spacefaring species to prevent the terrifying events from repeating themselves. The Galactic Council was formed to enforce precious peace, and it has taken many courageous efforts to prevent the escalation of malicious acts. Nevertheless, tension and discord are growing among the seven major species and in the Council itself. Old alliances are shattering, and hasty diplomatic treaties are made in secrecy. A confrontation of the superpowers seems inevitable - only the outcome of the galactic conflict remains to be seen. Which faction will emerge victorious and lead the galaxy under its rule?
A game of Eclipse places you in control of a vast interstellar civilization, competing for success with its rivals. You will explore new star systems, research technologies, and build spaceships with which to wage war. There are many potential paths to victory, so you need to plan your strategy according to the strengths and weaknesses of your species, while paying attention to the other civilizations' endeavors.
The shadows of the great civilizations are about to eclipse the galaxy. Lead your people to victory!

Rock Paper Wizard - $19.99
In this brand new Dungeons and Dragons edition of Rock Paper Wizard, your adventuring party has just defeated a fiery dragon in a treacherous cave. Now you and your fellow wizards argue over how to distribute the shares of treasure left behind and do what every self respecting wizard does, initiate a spell battle.
Each player competes against a powerful wizard
Choose your wizard's spell and cast some magic by repeating one of the hand gestures found on the cards in front of you. Everyone says 'Rock, Paper, Wizard' aloud, and upon saying 'Wizard', forms a hand gesture and points it towards a target. Each card describes the spell's effect, which can push an opponent towards the exit, advance yourself towards the hoard, or manipulate the coins each wizard must collect to win.

Seven Dragons - $14.99
Seven Dragons is based on Aquarius, also from Looney Labs. Players start with a secret goal color from the seven colored dragons, and a hand of three cards. The Silver Dragon is laid on the table as the starting card - at this stage it is a wild card. The playing cards feature domino-like colored panels in the same manner as Aquarius. On a players turn they draw one card and play one from their hand. Cards are laid so as to connect matching colored panels. The winner is the first to create a connected territory of seven panels matching their dragon color. The deck also includes Action Cards such as Move a Card, Zap a Card, Trade Hands, etc. The used Action Cards form a discard pile and the top card of this pile dictates the color of the starting Silver Dragon - once the discard pile has started, the Silver Dragon is no longer wild.

(W) Gabby Rivera (A) Joe Quinones
At last! Everyone's favorite no-nonsense powerhouse, America Chavez, gets her own series!
Written by critically-acclaimed YA novelist Gabby Rivera (Juliet Takes A Breath) and drawn by all-star artist Joe Quinones (HOWARD THE DUCK), Marvel Comics' brand new AMERICA series shines a solo spotlight on the high-octane and hard-hitting adventures of the one and only America Chavez!
America has always been uncontestably awesome, and as the newly appointed leader of the Ultimates, she's now officially claimed her place as the preeminent butt-kicker of the Marvel Universe! But while leading a team of heroes and punching out big bads is great and all, it doesn't really leave much time for self-discovery... So what's a super-powered teenager do when she's looking for a little fulfillment? She goes to college!
She just has to stop an interdimensional monster or two first, plus shut down a pesky alien cult that's begun worshipping her exploits!
