Rick & Morty: The Rickshank Rickdemption Deck Building Game
$40.00 SRP

You want to know more about Rick and Morty: The Rickshank Rickdemption Deck-Building Game? We can tell you everything you want to know … for money.

Nah bro, this is the sequel to Rick and Morty: Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind Deck-Building Game. We know the blemflarck just tanked, so we won't even force you to buy the original to play this game. You can play this one standalone or mix the two together for a concoction almost as tasty as the Szechuan Sauce card you’ll find in this set. You know who really digs the Sauce? Gromflomites. They are a new card type in the set.

This new game also features a set of Council cards that will cause voting among the players to enact new rules, dramatic one-time effects, and other mysterious situations. Access Tokens give you votes (and a shot at devaluing the Galactic Federation currency from 1 to 0), so get them before they’re all gone! And if they’re gone, scratch and claw them away from your foes!

Pantone

$30.00 SRP

When we are children, there is a feeling of wonder and accomplishment that comes from visual recognition, being able to identify someone or something with just a look. PantoneTM: The Game recaptures this feeling in a competitive and fun game in which players try to recognize characters from pop culture who are represented only by abstract arrangements of colors. The colors are inspired by Pantone™, the world’s leading color expert.

When you are the Artist, you choose one of your Character Cards and design a representation of that Character using only color swatches. When one of the other players guesses your creation, you both score points! If no player can guess the Character during a round, a Hint is given at the start of the next round. Each Character Card lists four Hints, with each one reducing the number of points awarded to both the Artist and the player who guesses the Character. The winner is the player who has the most points after each player acts as the Artist three times.

DC Deck Building Game Crossover Pack 7 New Gods
$13.00 SRP

The New Gods are a race of ultra-powerful beings who inhabit two warring planets in a far away galaxy, with Super Heroes living on New Genesis and Super-Villains residing on Apokolips. Play as Orion, Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Kalibak, Granny Goodness, or Darkseid in this newest expansion for the popular DC Deck-Building Game series. No teams to be found here—it’s every God for him or herself!

Instead of the usual Super-Villain stack, there are two stacks of HOMEWORLD cards. Each Homeworld has a special ability that all players can take advantage of, as many of the New Gods have spent time on both sides of the conflict. If you are Darkseid, you seek to conquer New Genesis … but so do your fellow Super-Villain players. The Super Heroes, conversely, compete to conquer Apokolips. When either Level 3 Homeworld is conquered, that ends the game and the player with the most VPs wins!

Once the cards and oversized Characters in this expansion get going, they reach heights unheard of in the series until
now. For instance, Orion’s game text is: "Once during each of your turns, if you have 9+ Power, draw two cards." All of
the Hero and Villain cards in the set also feature a new keyword: Protector. By simply revealing a Protector from your
hand, you may be able to thwart an invasion of your Homeworld. It’s up to you to save the your world!

  • 32 Game Cards

DC Spyfall

$25.00 SRP

In this exciting variation on the social deduction game Spyfall, 3-8 players take on the roles of DC’s greatest Super Heroes as they have a secret meeting at an iconic location, such as the Batcave, Daily Planet, or the Fortress of Solitude. The problem? One of them is secretly The Joker in disguise! In the intense 8-minute rounds, the non-Joker players ask questions and give answers to deduce which one of them is the Clown Prince of Crime without giving away the location, while The Joker player tries to figure out the location before his or her identity is revealed! Players have to exhibit subtlety to deflect suspicion and help their side win.

Where The Joker goes, Harley Quinn usually follows! Each round, one player may have a Location Card with a Harley image, meaning he or she should try to feed The Joker player information, even without knowing that player’s identity! If The Joker player guesses the location, the two collaborators each score points. But if Harley was too obvious, the Super Heroes can turn the tables on them...

The game offers several innovations to keep things fresh for experienced players. Ability Cards can give a player an ability for a round, such as being able to dodge a question, or simply require a player to modify their behavior; for example, Super Speed forces a player’s answers to be three words or less.

In each of the game’s two Multiverse decks, there are eight different locations rather than just one, so players will be rather confused with some of the questions and answers. Keep in mind that no one at the table knows whether or not they are playing with a Multiverse deck!

Finally, the all-Joker deck gives each player a Joker card, so all of the questions and answers are based on absolutely nothing, since there is no location to reference at all. A crazy twist on an already crazy game!

Contents:
  • 160 Location Cards (20 packs, each with 7 Location Cards and 1 Joker)
  • 16 Multiverse Cards (2 Packs, each with 8 different Location Cards)
  • 8 Additional Joker Cards (1 Pack with all Jokers!)
  • 12 Ability Cards
  • 24 Storage Bags
  • Rulebook





$60.00 SRP

Gather your Priests and chart your path towards victory. Will you Summon your God, build five Altars to your God’s greatness, or rouse four Fanatical Mobs to dominate the Eternal City? 

Your first Summoning awakens your God. Your Cult grows stronger as your God nears, but finishing the ritual will prove no easy task. Your opponents will be there to delay you at every turn! 

The Eternal City holds many secrets and powerful magiks for you to discover. Send your most trusted Priests to do your bidding, bribe officials, and compete for influence with your fellow players. Each God has unique strengths and weaknesses that will affect your strategy. So, choose your God wisely!

The Ricks Must be Crazy
$20.00 SRP

Take on the roles of Rick, Morty, Zeep, and Kyle and introduce wondrous Power-making technology to the worlds you’ve created ... and then steal most of it for yourself. That is, if your opponents don’t get to it first!

This is an engine-building game (of sorts) that takes place in the four locations ("`Verses," we call them) from the popular episode "The Ricks Must Be Crazy": the Rickverse, Microverse, Miniverse, and Teenyverse. Due to time dilation and other pseudo-scientific malarkey, the lower you travel in the `Verses, the greater number of Actions you’ll have each round. But some of those lower `Verses are a bit primitive, so the Contraptions you build to use all that sweet Power might not work so well!

During your turn, you’ll spend your Actions to build Power Supplies and Contraptions and even move to a new `Verse to take advantage of some excess Power there. At the end of each round, the Power generates from the bottom ’Verse up, and players can use that Power as it travels from `Verse to `Verse to play One-Shot abilities, use Character Abilities, and power-up their Contraptions. Player order matters in each `Verse, so hopefully your opponents left you some Power to use!

Walking Dead: What Lies Ahead

$35.00 SRP

What Lies Ahead is an exciting expansion to The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary, taking players from the grim streets of Atlanta and its surrounding environs to the rustic and secluded landscapes of the countryside. However, peace will not be found easy.

Walking Dead: Killer Within

$35.00 SRP 

Killer Within is a deadly expansion to The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary, giving survivors the keys to the iconic prison featured in season three of AMC’s The Walking Dead television show.

Included in Killer Within are even more challenging scenarios, pitting survivors against new armored walkers, crumbling fortifications, a deadly plague, and dangerous new neighbors!













CTZ02583
The Arrival

$40.00 SRP 

Famed game designer Martin Wallace's (Age of Steam, Brass) acclaimed new game transforms players into tribe leaders in ancient Ireland―back when it was known as Erin―who have arrived to fight the demon-like Fomori that rule the island. As they vie for control over territories with the other tribes, players utilize actions that let them build and protect fortifications and repel and spread the Fomori, choosing how ruthless they wish to be.

The unique mechanics of the game include two different tracks that will determine victory: the Fame Point Track and the Corruption Track. Players must make decisions on how to gain resources, either gaining more resources (spreading their tribes more quickly) and more Corruption Points or gaining fewer resources (risking losing ground to the other tribes and the Fomori) and more Fame Points. The winner is either the one with the highest amount of Fame Points or the one with the fewest Corruption Points, the path to victory depending on whether the tribes or the Fomori control more locations at the end of the game.

After an initial release at Spiel 2016 in Essen, Cryptozoic is releasing The Arrival to a wider audience with updated art and game components, rule refinements, and additional new content.

Walking Dead: No Sanctuary Base Game
$80.00 SRP

The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary—designed by the award-winning team of Adam and Brady Sadler—is the game fans of The Walking Dead have been waiting for! Cryptozoic is proud to introduce this intense new 1-4 board game based on the hit AMC TV show. The game redefines the survival horror genre with gameplay that emulates the group dynamics from the series, as one player takes on the reins of Leadership and the other players can decide whether or not to support his or her choices. With stunningly detailed miniatures, get ready to play as your favorite characters: Rick Grimes, Glenn Rhee, Andrea Harrison, Merle Dixon, Shane Walsh, Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas, and—of course—Daryl Dixon.

This isn't your typical survival horror game in which you attempt to eliminate each other and take out as many of the undead as possible. In The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary, you have to work together to win. One player becomes the Leader and tries to get the others to follow his or her Approach. If the other players defy their Leader, Trust falters and Stress builds. This can result in a new Leader taking over and in Group Tension, which can reduce Morale. If Group Morale hits zero, you all lose. Likewise, if one of the survivors dies, the entire team loses. In other words, you better find a way to work as a team!

Teen Titans Go! DBG
$25.00 SRP

When there's trouble, you know who to call ... the Teen Titans! In this two-player game based on the TV series, players new and old to deck-building will find something exciting. Novice players will enjoy the easy gameplay, while veteran players will find fresh challenges with every turn of the cards. 

While this is a two-player competitive game, all of the Teen Titans get to join the fun. Both players start with one Super Hero, but are able to recruit other Titans to help them out. This creates an additional level of battling, as you try to steal away allies from your foe. The Titans are a team, sure, but they aren't above a little one-upmanship!

The new "Wonder" keyword brings a childlike sense of, well, wonder to the game as the ability allows players to play a card off the top of the main deck. You never know what you'll get … except for a fun time and lots of surprises! The card you play goes straight to the Line-Up, so if you liked the effect, you can buy the card immediately. The more cards you have to choose from, the better!

Spyfall 2

$25.00 SRP

The hit social party game of 2015 & 2016 is back with more of everything you loved about the first game! More players, more spies, more locations, and more terribly vague answers to half-baked questions!

SPYFALL is an easy-to-learn card game of bluffing, probing questions, clever answers, and suspicion. At the start of each round, players receive a secret card letting them know where they are—a vineyard, jail, coal mine, gas station (20 unique locations!)—Except that one player receives the SPY card instead of the location. The spy doesn't know where he is, but wins the round if he can figure it out before he blows his cover!

New to this expansion:
Now games might feature TWO SPIES! When one tries to guess the location, the other one takes a guess as well. Now up to 12 players can play at once! Bigger games means more finger-pointing and shenanigans. 20 new locations adds tons of crazy new fun!

Batman Almost Got 'Im

$20.00 SRP

The villains of Gotham City have gathered for a poker night and to share stories about the time they nearly dispensed with that troublesome caped crusader, Batman. Little do they know that the Dark Knight is in their midst, disguised as one of their own. Will the rogues be able to suss out the bat in their belfry before he clandestinely subdues them?

This variant on the popular Werewolf-style deduction game, inspired by the memorable Batman The Animated Series episode "Almost Got 'Im", adds a poker element to the proceedings, requiring participants to craft poker hands to activate their special abilities when the lights go out. Take on the personas of classic Batman baddies in a game where everyone has something to hide and no one is safe.

With Poker hands guiding the action players have something to talk about. Everyone has an important role. No bystanders in this game! Too often, social deduction games begin with random accusations just to get the ball rolling. Not so here. Players can request Poker cards from other players, and often see what cards other players are taking. Enemies are made when someone takes the card you wanted now you have a reason to be suspicious of another player!

Attack on Titan: The Last Stand - Tactical Board Game

$35.00 SRP

It's all come down to this. Titans have broken through Wall Maria and are heading for the supply depot in Trost. If the depot falls, all the resources needed to continue fighting off these monstrous aberrations will be destroyed and all hope for the last remnants of mankind will be lost. It's up to you and your team to fend off and fell the Titans before they can succeed! Are you ready for the last stand?

Play as your favorite Attack on Titan Character... or as the Titan!

During each round of the game, the Titan player chooses two Attack cards to play: One face up and one face down. The other players then roll their dice and try to avoid these Attacks, but knowing only what one of them is. The other will be a surprise, so players will have to use their wits to figure out what they need to avoid it. Protect your very lives and the castle walls to save the day!

Positioning is key! The Titan and the castle walls create a vertical playing surface. Move your character up and down as you see fit to avoid Attacks, or tactically position yourself to land a devastating blow on the Titan. Tactics Cards can be revealed and utilized or passed on until later. Your goal is to weaken the Titan so that it's susceptible to a kill shot. But watch out! The Titan has lots of tricks waiting for you.
