Deal with unruly peasants and maintain your beautiful summer palace
In Gùgōng, players take on the role of powerful Chinese families trying to gain influence and power by exchanging gifts with Officials. The gift cards you offer as a player have to be of a higher value than the one you receive, forcing you to make strategic choices regarding which actions you want to take each turn. You will travel around China, sail down the Grand Canal, purchase precious jade, help construct the Great Wall, secure advantages through decrees, influence the game through intrigue, and ultimately, receive an audience with the emperor.
Gùgōng: Pànjūn is an expansion for the critically acclaimed Gùgōng. The 4 different modules can be combined however players wish to, guaranteeing a lot of variety and replayability. The 4 modules are:
The Summer Palace: Players travel to the Summer Palace of the Emperor, where they can obtain extra servants, Jade, and even the services of the mysterious Court Ladies… Players will have to score majorities in order to obtain these bonuses, but will also be able to manipulate the results by exchanging specific Gifts with the officials, as word has it the Emperor is collecting a very particular type of Gift.
The Peasants Revolt: During the Ming Dynasty, peasants revolts were common. Although the Ming Dynasty itself came to power through a peasant revolt, this did not mean that the rulers had any more empathy for the peasants than the previous rulers. Players will gain a lot of support from the peasants in this expansion, but if pushed too far, players will have to work together to avoid their wrath.
The Palace Stairs: Moving your Envoy towards the Emperor will not be without consequences with this expansion module. Players will be able to choose a longer or shorter path leading towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The shorter path will require some achievements, the long path will earn players rewards at first, but when they get close to the Palace, they will have to pay certain taxes or risk seeing their Envoy take steps back.
Extra Decrees and Gift Cards: Spice up your game with new Decrees and special kinds of Gift Cards, like the lamp and jade knives, which will add even more variety to your game of Gùgōng!
Additionally, solo mode has now been added to the base game!

Build your own theme park & ensure your guests have the most fun!
Dice Theme Park is a dice manipulation board game, all about creating and running your own park of fairground attractions.
[previewyoutube="4nE2Y9e0Ndg;full"] In Dice Theme Park, you are the park managers, trying to create the most successful theme park in the area, by getting your customers on the most rides possible! The dice in the game represent the customers, with hex tiles representing the rides in your park. Employing a unique “Dice-cascade” mechanic once a customer has enjoyed a ride, their dice value is reduced, but they can still continue to enjoy more rides in the theme park until their value drops to 0 where they exit. This means the more efficiently you can move your dice around to activate the most rewarding rides, the more points and money you receive!
[previewyoutube="7waWV5Mk4G0;full"] Dice Theme Park also features a card-based turn initiative mechanic, decided by your special action role cards (with values 1-6), with players selecting two cards each turn. The lowest total will gain first choice of the customer dice draft and ride tiles that round. At the end of the round those cards will then be passed to the player on your left.
Dice Theme Park is more interactive and slightly more complex than Dice Hospital, so it’s perfect for those looking for a more challenging experience with more ways to score and play, whilst still keeping that same engaging and satisfying feel every time it is played.

In the world of network security, a "black hat" is a hacker who defeats computer systems for personal gain. These rogue data jockeys pit themselves against the most secure systems in the world for the thrill of it (and maybe to make a little money on the side). However, the most skilled hackers know it's not about getting there first; it's about ghosting in and out of the system without leaving a trace.
[previewyoutube="kmNvztZD8N4;full"] Black Hat is a hacker-themed, climbing trick-taking board game for 2-6 players. While trick-taking is the main mechanism used in the game, you can win the game even if you win only a few tricks — as long as you win the ones that make the most for your game. Black Hat features a random and evolving game board that players progress through during the game, and while that progress helps you toward victory, the first player to finish doesn't necessarily win.
Black Hat allows a wide variety of gameplay strategies to be applied, none of them clearly superior over another, as you have to adapt to the situation.

[previewyoutube="bHebNxjr9K4;full"] Adorablins is inspired by the Powered by the Apocalypse system used by tabletop RPGs like Apocalypse World, Monster Hearts, Apocalypse Keys, and Avatar Legends.

In this new dynamic fast-paced action card game, explore forgotten dungeons, keeps and fortresses. Defeat monsters, demons and bandits lurking in the forgotten tunnels through Draggmar and claim fame and riches.
[previewyoutube="q0mZmA69D9s;full"] Dungeons Of Draggmar is a game where you will lose a lot but every victory will make you celebrate and enjoy the next step of your conquest even more.
The game takes place in rounds called Dungeon Runs where a player tries to conquer a dungeon using their Heroes and Items and claim the head of the Boss at the end of the run. Of course, most of the runs end in failure but then there is always a second chance to be successful!

Nail rad trick combos and show off your skills, but be careful — the longer you stay on your board, the more likely you are to bail!
[previewyoutube="xMBZ1S6qgZM;full"] The object of Skate Summer is to score the most points by doing trick combos, collecting goal tokens, and visiting S-K-A-T-E-R locations. The game is played in rounds.
[previewyoutube="5xeIMxmM86M;full"] Each round has the following phases:
1. COMBOS: Players simultaneously play trick cards, earn rewards, and roll dice to check their balance. 2. SKILLS & POINTS: Players simultaneously improve their skills and score points for combos. 3. MOVES: Players take turns navigating the park, picking up goals and gear. 4. ROUND END: Each player resets their board and draws up to their hand size, then the "Pro Skater" first player marker passes to the left.
If any player's score has hit or passed the endgame token at the end of the round, the game ends and players count up their endgame points. The player with the highest score wins!
