Floksmen of Fugloy
Vikings. Goats. Chaos!
Trouble is stirring in the Faroe Islands! The Floksmen are on the run from the Danish crown, and all just for starting one teensy little rebellion… Høgni Nev, Rógvi Skel, Hálvdan Úlvsson, and Sjúrður við Kellingará flee to the island of Fugloy and must harvest enough goat cheese before winter sweeps in off the North Sea, no small feat with so many Norse Landspirits haunting the island!
Floksmen of Fugloy is a goat-centric Viking strategy game for 1-4 players with both cooperative, competitive, and solo play modes. Inspired by a rousing blend of Faroese history and Scandinavian folklore, this game will delight medium-weight gamers with its deceptively simple puzzle mechanic and its playfully dark mythological elements.

Mage of Rune
Mage of Rune is a tactical fantasy board-and-card battler where players command Mages, summon powerful creatures, and shape the battlefield using modular 3D hex tiles. Players collect Crystal Shards to level up abilities, maneuver soldiers across shifting terrain, and try to outwit rival Mages in fast-paced tactical combat.

Warlord Protocol
Become a warlord and lead your faction to victory in this asymmetrical sci-fi/fantasy deck-building game for 2-4 players. To succeed, you will need to recruit new cards to grow your army and expand your influence over the war-torn world of Nevir. But beware, you will also need to defend yourself from enemy warlords and the monstrous chimera that dominate the planet’s surface. With 6 factions to explore and over a 130 unique cards to encounter, no two games will feel exactly the same!
