  • This is sort of the game Bang and that meets the Werewolf theme.
  • This takes the Nemesis universe into a full legacy campaign with interconnected scenarios, irreversible decisions, character customization, narrative twists, and consequences that carry from one session to the next.
  • This is an epic strategy game based on Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive with asymmetric factions, heroes, diplomacy, card play, and battles for control of Roshar.
  • The movement and puzzly nature of pattern creation makes this a unique game in the two-player space, and the alien ally cards create cool new combos to explore from game to game.
  • This tabletop adaptation is being designed by David Gordon and Tam, with players battling it out in the arena using the characters and troops from Clash Royale.
  • If you like smaller, quirky games that don't require 3-hour commitments, then Gatera is one worth checking out.
  • This is a remastered version of the classic 2005 Arkham Horror second edition with updated artwork, graphic design, components, and some rules clarifications, and quality of life improvements.
  • You're exploring the western wildlands, frontier in our own world, but so far in the future that the world we know has been completely transformed.
  • If you're a fan of collecting fossils, building a paleontology exhibition, and turning that theme into a strategic board game, this is definitely one to put on your October watch list.
