Runewars Miniatures Game
(2 Players/90 mins.)
For years, the armies of Waiqar the Undying have stayed within their borders, launching only minor raids across the border. But now, a nameless threat stirs within the Mistlands, and legions of undead cross into the realm of Terrinoth under Waiqar's command! The Daqan Lords have sounded the call to war, and their finest generals lead armies of warriors and golems to take up defensive positions in the border territory of Roth's Vale. The first battles of the next great war are about to begin.
Runewars: The Miniatures Game is a two-player miniatures game of battles between the great powers of Terrinoth. In each game, you and your opponent will gather armies of miniatures and lead them into battle-blocks of infantry will maneuver for position, cavalry wings will wheel and slam into a weakened flank, and monstrous rune golems or carrion lancers will smash through formations of lesser warriors. Innovative command tools, two distinct factions, and countless ways to customize your experience combine to offer an unparalleled miniatures gaming experience in RuneWars. Finally, with forty-eight beautifully sculpted, unpainted figures, you'll be able to paint and customize your armies to bring an entirely unique touch to your games and enter the hobby of miniatures painting!

Arkham Horror LCG: Blood on The Altar Mythos
Blood on the Altar is the third Mythos Pack in The Dunwich Legacy cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
In the scenario from Blood on the Altar, your investigations lead you to the village of Dunwich, where you suspect a series of recent disappearances may be related to the events in Arkham. But the more you explore, the more you get the impression the townsfolk aren't exactly pleased to see you. There are secrets in this town that its inhabitants don't wish to share...
With its sixty cards (including a complete playset of each new player card), Blood on the Altar challenges you to delve the secrets of Dunwich. You'll need to travel throughout the town in search of clues, stopping to investigate many of the locations infamously identified in H.P. Lovecraft's classic tale, The Dunwich Horror.

Booty! (Mayfair Games)
(3-6 Players/60 mins.)
Treasures of all types - yet the hard part is not capturing the ship's bounty, but dividing it fairly among the pirates! Players take turns splitting each round's booty into shares for the other players. Different types of treasures have different values, and of course there's the hidden items to keep people guessing. Will you be the quartermaster to give everyone their fair share - but giving yourself the best share?
Each round in Booty, cards representing treasures are revealed. Some are worth points immediately, some items cancel others, some give you a chance (but not a guarantee) for a big payday. The quartermaster, a job that travels from player to player, divides the treasures into shares and also includes the order of picking treasures in the next round. Balancing what you need, what others might want, and trying to get a little extra into your treasure pile is the key to success!
The building cards provide many special benefits that allow for a broad range of strategies every time you play.

The second edition, published in 1995, features an expanded card set.
The third edition, published in 2012, features multiple changes, including new artwork by Omar Rayyan, a new card set, and a simplified rulesheet.

Spider Gwen Bishoujo Statue
The Marvel Bishoujo collection, bringing you new interpretations of familiar superheroes and villains, returns with one of the most popular characters to debut in the last few years, SPIDER-GWEN! On a parallel Earth it was Gwendolyne "Gwen" Stacy, not Peter Parker, who was bitten by a radioactive spider and given superpowers, and in turn she became a heroine first named Spider-Woman but better known as Spider-Gwen. She has all of the same abilities as Earth-616's Spider-Man but with her own flair and a costume that instantly made her a hit. Kotobukiya brings you that fantastic design in a Bishoujo Statue based on a new character interpretation by Japanese illustrator Shunya Yamashita! The web-slinging hero of her world, Spider-Gwen is captured in the middle of the action as she swings through the air. The daring heroine comes in for a landing on one outstretched leg while she reaches out to launch a new web from her left hand in the classic web shooter pose. Gwen wears her immediately recognizable costume, the amazing black, white, and pink skintight bodysuit with web designs on her arms and torso along with bright blue footwear. Best of all, you have two very different options for displaying Spider-Gwen thanks to included interchangeable parts.
Use the hooded head to keep her identity secret behind the sleek pink and white mask or choose the bare-headed look to show off Gwen's beautiful Bishoujo-styled smiling face and long blonde hair! Spider-Gwen stands 8 ¾ inches tall (1/7 scale) on a specially designed display base. Get the hottest new arachnid-inspired heroine for your collection before Spider-Gwen swings away!

Barbara Gordon is no stranger to secrets. She's the daughter of GCPD Jim Gordon, the vigilante known as Batgirl and was once Oracle, the most powerful hacker on the planet.
