Tabletop Magic

Chilliwack, BC | http://mageofrune.com | Mage of Rune is a tactical fantasy board-and-card game where each player commands four powerful Mages, soldiers, summons, and buildings across a modular hex battlefield. Players fight for control of mana, build spell decks, unleash combos, and use positioning and terrain to outplay their opponents. It blends the strategy and interaction of a competitive card game with the movement and tactical depth of a miniatures game. Easy to learn, endlessly tactical, always epic.

Vault Breakers

Bellingham, WA | https://www.vaultbreakersgames.com/ | Vault Breakers is a social, semi-cooperative game for 3-5 players of negotiation, gambling, combo-building and reactions. Players seek to earn victory points through loot cards they acquire using actions or by breaking the vault. Actions and vaultbreaking both require skill tokens, which players generate by combining training cards. Each time the vault breaks and loot cards are taken, the difficulty increases, but so do the rewards.
