13 Minutes: The Cuban Missle Crisis

$10.00 SRP

13 Minutes is a card-driven micro game with tough decision. Playing either President Kennedy or Khrushchev, your aim is to exit the Cuban Missile Crisis as the most powerful superpower. During the game you will play five Strategy cards that you use to place Influence cubes on battlegrounds to score majorities, or to manipulate battlegrounds. Played cards turn into new battlegrounds so the world map is ever changing. Be careful, because each decision is important and you may trigger global nuclear war.

Pirates vs. Dinosaurs

$60.00 SRP

Pirates vs. Dinosaurs is a game for 2-5 players by Richard Launius (designer of Arkham Horror) in which players control pirate captains and their cutthroat crews, all with partial knowledge of the whereabouts of buried treasure on a forgotten Pacific island. The catch? They don’t know the island is the final home of dinosaurs, survivors of millions of years, and they aren't happy to let outsiders explore their island. Of course, the pirates also don’t know that the island is sinking or that there are other pirates looking for the same treasure. Who will get away with the most loot and become the pirate remembered by history?

Parsec RPG

$ 20.00 SRP

Parsec is a science-fiction tabletop RPG that sticks close to what is feasible given what we know about the world today - the only big "cheat" is the new technology of faster-than-light travel. The setting is composed of things we can easily imagine in our own future, without any supernatural elements like psionics or magic. It's a simple, versatile game, and you can probably teach the system, create characters and be ready to play in an hour or two the first time you sit down. Through this game, you portray stories of people who are living on Earth or elsewhere in our solar system about 100 years in our future. You tell their stories one scene at a time, focusing on the conflicts they get into, the secrets they know, and what they want most. Meanwhile, around them, neo-feudal corporations and a new world government fight for supremacy on a ravaged Earth while the very first FTL drive-ships change space travel forever. The stories you tell take place in vast post-urban wastelands, the crumbling fringes of great cities, cutting-edge and vibrant city cores or inside vast arcologies - or off-world, on permanent space-stations in orbit around Earth, colonies on Luna or Mars, mining operations in the Asteroid Belt, outposts on Europa or Titan, or on one of the many ships connecting all of them. Whether your character is an urban tribal insurgent or a corporate spy or a space-faring pirate captain, a simple system helps you get your character into interesting conflicts and fight her way out of them.

Pirates vs. Dinosaurs is a game for 2-5 players by Richard Launius (designer of Arkham Horror) in which players control pirate captains and their cutthroat crews, all with partial knowledge of the whereabouts of buried treasure on a forgotten Pacific island.

The catch? They don't know the island is the final home of dinosaurs, survivors of millions of years, and they aren't happy to let outsiders explore their island. Of course, the pirates also don't know that the island is sinking or that there are other pirates looking for the same treasure. Who will get away with the most loot and become the pirate remembered by history?

Before the game, players outfit themselves with a variety of crew, weapons, and gear before choosing the section of the island that they will explore, knowing that the jungle takes longer than the beach as they look for their parts of the map. The search can be interrupted as other players play dinosaur (and other) cards to cause mayhem and carnage. Once the treasure is located, players draw treasures from a bag, looking to avoid the pirate ghost and island sinking events, and return safe to their ship--a question of how far they'll go in pushing their luck.
