Chronicles of Crime is cooperative game of crime investigation, mixing VR experience and board gaming.
With the same physical components (board, locations, characters and items), players will be able to play plenty of different scenarios and solve as many different crime stories.

They will start the app, choose the scenario they want to play, and follow the story. The goal being to catch the killer of the case they have been given in the shortest short time possible.

Using the Scanechnology, each component (locations, characters, items, etc.) has a unique QR code, which, depending on the scenario selected, will activate and trigger different clues and stories. That means players will be able to get new stories way after the game is release simply by downloading the app's updates, without any shipping of new physical components involved.

The VR experience only requires a mobile phone. Players simply put the VR glasses provided inside the game onto their mobile device, and put the VR glasses on their nose, holding their mobile device in front of their eyes, to immerse themselves in the game's universe and search for clues in a virtual world.

Each session will last around 60-90 minutes and many scenarios are connected to each others in order to tell a much bigger story.

Futuropia & Kitchen Rush: Piece of Cake from Stronghold Games

Order by Date: January 1, 2019
Release Date: January 2019

Futuropia
$69.95 SRP 

In Futuropia, Friedemann Friese's big utopian economic game for 1-4 optimizers, players live in a future Utopian society that possesses desirable lifestyle qualities for all of its citizens. Too bad this is not today's reality...

In this Utopian society, we all will work much less. Our robots can do nearly everything already. There is no need for great envy. It is simply about equality, justice, and the fair allocation of the complete and still necessary work, which then gives us ALL more leisure time.

Success means we will have time for the activities we like the most: fishing, farming, fencing, flying, ..., as well as gaming, building, painting, traveling, composing, and more. If somebody wants to work more than needed, they should do that. This is about the freedom! So let us rethink this: joblessness is not a disgrace, it is the new goal!

We are members of a team striving to realize this utopian ideal. We try to develop completely self-sustaining homes that function as efficiently as possible. They must generate enough food and energy to allow the residents the greatest possible freedom (thus, leisure time). The more people in our development who no longer need to work, the closer we are to reaching our goal! The player who builds the best development will win the game, and their development will become reality!

Futuropia is a luck-free economic game. To ensure you always encounter new challenges, we offer multiple game set-up variations, which create a variety of gameplay situations, ensuring new experiences and replayability. The solo game offers you an option to learn the mechanisms and processes of Futuropia before you play it with other players. See our hopeful future in...Futuropia!

An extension to the game's board introduces additional actions for the players, and there is also a 60" hourglass for a specialist worker who can perform improved versions of the available actions.

K'uh Nah

K’uh Nah (Mayan for divine house) is a quick, push-your-luck style game where players are attempting to build the most perfectly shaped pyramid by avoiding the blocks they do not want and obtaining the ones they do want! Be careful, because you must always place a lighter block on top of a heavier block, unless you are able to match the icons. The player who builds the best designed pyramid that will last the ages wins the game!
Each card has two icons and a number. These are available to get and put in your pyramid. If you do not like any of the cards available, then you must put a jade token on one of the cards. (If you do not have any jade tokens, then you must take a card).

At the end of the game you will score the value of your cards not supporting other cards minus the jade tokens you have left. The player with the least points is the winner.
