A quick two player game of drafting and strategy! Cards are drafted as players aim to collect as much points as possible by building up their kingdom.

Codenames

One of the world wide sensations to hit us last year, codenames is a party game cum word game that is very popular with almost anyone! Players are split into two teams and one spymaster from each team is appointed. The spymasters will give clues for the words that are associated with the team’s goals and the first team to guess all their words first wins! But watchout! There are trap words that will cause you to lose the game as well.

Suitable for: Almost everyone! Gamers and non-gamers alike, if you have at least a small amount of vocabulary…

Complexity: Low

Living Card Games

A Living Card Game® (LCG®) offers an innovative fixed distribution method that breaks away from the traditional Collectible Card Game model. While LCGs still offer the same dynamic, expanding, and constantly evolving game play that makes CCG’s so much fun, they do away with the deterrent of the blind-buy purchase model that has burned out so many players. The end result is an innovative mix that gives you the best of both worlds!

 

Android: Netrunner Kala Ghoda

Android: Netrunner finally kicks off its next cycle, the Mumbad cycle, as it explores the political turmoil and clone rights in the Indian Union. Kala Ghoda introduces several interesting cards such as a high risk run that is high risk high reward, introduces new alliance cards and consumer grade hardwares. Jesminder Sareen also appears in this pack together with her console, Maya. Mirrormode On!!

 

Warhammer 40k: Conquest Boundless Hate

Blood for the Blood God!!! That about sums up what this pack is all about… Fight for Khorne in this war pack as it introduces Ba’ar Zul the Hate Bound as he joins the fight in Sacaellum. As war ravages the area, Archon Salaine Morn swoops in with her raiding party to capture new slaves in the chaos of battle. The Orkz also received a much needed boost in more beefy units and their reinforcements arrive in style as rok bombardments…
