Establish your legacy in 1015, as one of Vladimir the Great's children and potential successor to the throne. Overcome a fierce power struggle between the heirs to rule as the next leader of Kievan Rus in Rurik: Dawn of Kiev, an upcoming area control and resource management game by PieceKeeper Games.
Rurik: Dawn of Kiev is a euro-style realm building game with a new mechanic - "auction programming." Players openly bid for actions with their advisors. Stronger advisors earn greater benefits at the cost of performing their action later than other players. Conversely, weaker advisors earn lesser benefits but perform their action quickly. This planning mechanism adds a fun tension to the game. Although deploying your troops for warfare seems to be the easiest path for success, the people value a ruler who leads well in a variety of endeavors. Construct buildings and perform great deeds or pursue your own agenda by ruling large areas of land and collecting tribute. Will you win over the hearts to become the next Grand Prince or Princess of Kiev?
You can support the game's first physical release on currently ongoing Kickstarter!

Become the head of a Great House of Luthadel in Mistborn: House War - a game of negotiation and betrayal set in the world of Brandon Sanderson's novels. Contending with myriad problems plaguing the Final Empire, will you rise to power and prestige or fall in ruin and disgrace?
Mistborn: House War is a resource-management game set during the events of the first Mistborn novel. Players assume the roles of various factions and must work together to solve the "Problems" facing the Final Empire. In order to solve these problems players must expend a certain combination of resources, but in return they receive Favor from the Lord Ruler. If the players are able to defeat Vin, then the player who has the highest amount of Favor wins. If the Unrest reaches 8, then the rebellion occurs and the player with the least Favor (the faction furthest from the Lord Ruler) wins.
In Nosh, players bid their limited allowance on groups of treats available at each day of the fair. Everyone has their own secret favorites, and only certain combinations of treats can score each day. To win the game, a player has to carefully time their biggest bids on the treats they like the most and the ones that score the biggest on each day's Nosh cards.
Dispatch your strongest gladiators and most ferocious beasts to earn crowd favor in Gorus Maximus, an upcoming trick-taking game of gladiatorial combat.
Gorus Maximus can be played "player vs. player" or in teams. Players are dealt a hand of ten gladiator cards and must contribute one gladiator to each bout (trick). There is a preferred school (trump suit) and the strongest gladiator from this school wins the bout. If no preferred gladiator entered the fight, then the strongest initiating gladiator (suit called for) wins. Players must follow the initiating school if possible, or they may "challenge" by matching the strength of the last gladiator played, immediately changing the preferred school to that of their gladiator! Players compete to collect gladiators with positive crowd favour and avoid those with negative favour. The player with the highest favour at the end of the round earns 1 crowd support. The first player to earn 3 crowd support has won the support of the masses and earns the title: Champion of Gorus Maximus!
