Camp Grizzly is a semi-cooperative survival horror game in which you and your group take on the roles of camp counselors being stalked by Otis, a homicidal maniac in a bear mask. To win, players must collect a set of objectives to trigger (and survive!) one of four available Finales. Along the way, the counselors will find items and weapons to help them survive and fight back, encounter cameos and plot twists, bump into errant campers in need of help, and maybe even sneak off for some foolin' around.
Camp Grizzly Second Edition will include the full game and all previous expansions, and is being created in collaboration with the original designer and artist. Here is what's new:
Double-sided game board with an all-new camp layout
Great quality components and cards
A few rules tweaks including adjustments based on player count
Optional rules to remove player elimination
Updated art & graphics

Venture into the dungeon with naught but your wits and your trusty bag! Satchel Quest is a competitive bag-building dungeon adventure in which every draw shapes your fate. Armed with a bag full of double-sided chips, you'll delve into the dungeon, battling enemies, disarming traps, and unlocking treasure chests while earning gold, experience, and valor.
In Satchel Quest, players draw double-sided chips, choose which side to play, and place it strategically on the current floor of your dungeon map to attack monsters, block damage, trigger ranged effects, or set up for big combos. Exact placement matters as chips interact with adjacent spaces and can chain together for powerful results.
Each round has 6 phases where players build the dungeon, resolve actions, visit the village to heal, upgrade your skills, and buy new chips at the market that expand your strategy. The game ends during the Path Phase when there are no more Path cards to reveal. The player with the most Valor points wins.
With multiple adventure paths, asymmetric heroes, and a wealth of clever combos, Satchel Quest combines the satisfying tension of bag building with a fresh, spatial puzzle twist.

In Meerkat Kingdoms, you step into the role of a Meerkat queen, tasked with securing your family's supremacy in this harsh environment. It's time to prove the strength of your matriarchy. Meerkat Kingdoms is an area control game for with a very light Meerkat placement element. By strategically pairing your dice rolls, you must decide which crucial locations to deploy your Meerkat meeples to. Carefully consider which locations to fight over because if both players have an equal number of Meerkats there, neither will gain control.
The gameplay continues until players exhaust their supply of Meerkat meeples. However, once only one player remains with Meerkat meeples, the game reaches its final round, do your best to position your Meerkats wisely and faster than your opponents!
To secure victory, players must employ their best strategies to claim the most valuable locations and complete secret objective cards. It is through these endeavors that one can attain the most points and emerge triumphant as the ultimate Meerkat family in the Kalahari.
