Tief im Reich Talisman begibst du dich auf die gefahrvolle Suche nach einem unermesslichen Schatz, der legendären Krone der Herrschaft. Bestreite als Krieger, Priester, Zauberer oder als einer der elf anderen Helden diese Quest und werde alleiniger Herrscher von Talisman.

Der Weg zur Krone ist tückisch und voller Schrecken.

Doch ein solches Artefakt zu finden, ist keine leichte Aufgabe: Monster, Fallen und dunkle Magie erwarten dich auf deinem Weg. Sammle all deinen Mut! Du wirst ihn brauchen, um gegen deine Gegner zu bestehen, die Krone zu erobern und dein Schicksal zu finden!

Gloomhaven is a game of Euro-inspired tactical combat in a persistent world of shifting motives. Players will take on the role of a wandering adventurer with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for travelling to this dark corner of the world. Players must work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. In the process they will enhance their abilities with experience and loot, discover new locations to explore and plunder, and expand an ever-branching story fueled by the decisions they make.

This is a game with a persistent and changing world that is ideally played over many game sessions. After a scenario, players will make decisions on what to do, which will determine how the story continues, kind of like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. Playing through a scenario is a cooperative affair where players will fight against automated monsters using an innovative card system to determine the order of play and what a player does on their turn.

Each turn a player chooses two cards to play out of their hand. The number on the top card determines their initiative for the round. Each card also has a top and bottom power, and when it is a player’s turn in the initiative order, they determine whether to use the top power of one card and the bottom power of the other, or vice-versa. Players must be careful, though, because over time they will permanently lose cards from their hands. If they take too long to clear a dungeon, they may end up exhausted and be forced to retreat.

The armies of the Abyss have been repelled thanks to the bravery and sacrifice of the intrepid heroes of Modhelm, but an even more dangerous threat marches now towards the Citadel: the mighty legions of the Orc Nation!

To defeat the swift Iron Orcs, the crafty Goblins and the fearsome Trolls, players will need to develop new strategies while preventing the foul acid-born creatures known as Mulfins from breaching the city walls... And beware the fury of Ikomoth, the Dragon, an Avatar of Destruction capable of incinerating all Quarters of the Citadel!

Crossroads is a new series from Plaid Hat Games that tests a group of survivors' ability to work together and stay alive while facing crises and challenges from both outside and inside.

Dead of Winter is the first game in this series, designed by Isaac Vega and Jon Gilmour. It puts 2-5 players together in a small, weakened colony of survivors in a world where most of humanity are either dead or diseased, flesh-craving monsters. Each player leads a faction of survivors with dozens of different characters in the game.

Dead of Winter is a meta-cooperative psychological survival game. This means players are working together toward one common victory condition—but for each individual player to achieve victory, they must also complete their personal secret objective. This secret objective could relate to a psychological tick that’s fairly harmless to most others in the colony, a dangerous obsession that could put the main objective at risk, a desire for sabotage of the main mission, or worst of all: vengeance against the colony! Certain games could end with all players winning, some winning and some losing, or all players losing. Work toward the group’s goal but don’t get walked all over by a loudmouth who’s only looking out for their own interests! Dead of Winter is an experience that can only be accomplished through the medium of tabletop games. It is a story-centric game about surviving through a harsh winter in an apocalyptic world. The survivors are all dealing with their own psychological imperatives but must still find a way to work together to fight off outside threats, resolve crises, find food and supplies, and keep the colony’s morale up.

Dead of Winter has players making frequent, difficult, heavily- thematic, wildly-varying decisions, that often have them deciding between what is best for the colony and what is best for themselves.
