The Magician's Club is a "trick-making" card game. The year is 1921 and the Academy of Magicians has gathered once again at their swanky club to perform their greatest stage tricks. The competition to win the title of World’s Greatest Magician brings out the worst in these rivals who won’t hesitate at a chance to ruin each other’s act. Fortunately, a good magician always has an assistant by their side and a trick up their sleeve…

Scram! is an abstract strategy game for the whole family. In SCRAM! up to 4 players are represented by a color on the game board. Players share from a common pool of tokens - each with their own special ability. Players take turns placing tokens to create chain-reactions that move their tokens into scoring position and send opponent's tokens scrambling away... or make their token SCRAM! by driving it off the game board! The player with the highest value tokens on their own color at the end of the game wins!

Seance is a card game where players are spiritualists trying to make contact with "good spirits" while dispelling "bad spirits" from the mystic circle. Play cards onto the séance circle to “make contact” with Spirits – contact your spirit by matching its incantation or steal another player's spirit by spelling out the word “Séance”. Use special chain cards to "lock" incantation cards in place or scare the other players silly with game-changing "fright" cards. Collect Spirit cards for points.

Spinnenweben is a family game where players are spiders who move around a colorful web eating delicious flies for points. Roll the die to determine the number of action points and play cards to gain advantages and increase movement. The player who has eaten the most flies at the end of the game wins!



A Town Called Showdown is a card and dice game for two players. Steeped in theme, tension builds as the gunslingers pace their way down the street each turn. Players are dealt a hand of cards and each turn, advance down the street, increasing the street's tension level. When both gunslingers reach the end of the street they "shoot" using their pool of six-sided shooters - adding and subtracting for bonuses from bystanders and modifiers. Hit your opponent enough times to remove him from the competition.
