Degenesis Rebirth Premium Edition RPG
Core Rulebook
By Sixmorevodka
Mankind is under siege.
The enemies of Homo Sapiens are drawing closer. Day by day, they gain more followers, more territory, more power.
AMSUMO machine men stalk the ruins in preconditioned patterns. Sleepers, elite soldiers from the past awake to bathe civilization in warfare and bloodshed. Marauders, rotting, undying gods wield weapons of mass destruction and wreak havoc across the land.
But man has to face his greatest enemy yet:
Homo Degenesis, spawn of the Primer, rises from the craters, each breed wielding powers that bend the laws of reality.
Shapeshifting, precognition, psychokinesis, these aberrants are the peak of evolution. The insect swarms of the world come to do their bidding. Where Homo Degenesis claims territories, the earth rots and spore fields burst sepsis into the air, tolling the final bell in the Primers plan.
Humanity’s time has come: Raise the weapons, fight back, or be forgotten. Forever.

However, the frenzy of success draws enemies into the orbit of the Neolibyan Raider. They lust for his wealth, his power and his reputation. In their eyes, Hamza bleeds out the land; he is the source of the depletion of Franka and needs to die.
The chainsaws are well oiled, the revolvers are loaded and the rage burns. The smell of an imminent rebellion mingles with the salty sea breeze – one spark, and the time of peace will be over. Forever.
This book reveals the details of the machinations on the southern coast of Franka and leads experienced players even deeper into the world of DEGENESIS.

The Marketplace
Systemless Sourcebook
By Phalanx Games Design
This is a follow-on project from Orbis Mundi2 which covered the real background of the Medieval period, dealing with all the myriad of details pretty much every role playing game to date gets wrong.
The Marketplace is a massive book covering not just what items were available and what they actually (or were likely) to cost it also covers the economic underpinnings of trade and commerce. This allows a GM to tailor the prices (mainly from the 14th century) for a specific period within the overall range covered (the 11th to the 14th centuries).
For example, the nonsense that every RPG since the original D&D has peddled to the effect that Longbows are somehow worth more than a sword when, historically (depending on the 'sword') the reverse was true ... massively so ... is not followed in the book ... the real cost of a Longbow was not the Bow, but the training needed to make a competent Archer. There are even some suggestions as how to deal with this factor in most games.
The book has chapters on Markets, Fairs & Shops, Taxes & Trade, Bullion & Banks, Marketplace Basics, Wages & Salaries, Selected Price Series, Alchemists & Alchemy, The Armoury, Camping Gear, Clothes & Fashion, Farms & Farming, Food, Fast & Otherwise, Hardware & Tools, Home & Furnishings, Learning & Letters, Lighting & Illumination, Travel & Trade, and is rounded off with a Master Price List and appendices on Church & Religion and Manors & Castles.

Uncanny Echo Issue 4: Present
Powered by the Apocalypse Magazine
By Wrecking Ball Games
This game does not teach you how to play Powered by the Apocalypse games. It assumes you have knowledge of the PbtA engine and leverages that information to create a pick-up-and-play, rules-lite one-shot experience.
Issue 4: Present
This issue is more narrow in focus than others because it is based on a novel and movie, Bringing Out The Dead. This source material follows a burned-out nightshift paramedic who struggles with intense personal and spiritual trauma after too many years on the job.
You’ll find one playbook, the Medic; you’ll play someone experienced and trained in this field to the point where their job is habitual. They work with skill and precision but find that, more often than not, the outcome is not something in their purview.
Because this subject matter is intense and beyond my expertise, this issue is not concerned with simulating the actual care of the people medics tend to in real life. Instead, we will focus on the peripheral lives of the protagonists and the city at night, much like in Bringing Out The Dead. This issue interrogates the city, what it is and what it feels, and the altogether different lives and events most people never experience.
A life distinct from the daytime hours and experiences of people not belonging to the machinations of evening and dawn—when the surreal and bizarre feel possible.
----------------
Uncanny Echo is a serialized roleplaying game. It borrows from part of the Apocalypse World engine created by D. Vincent Baker and Meguey Baker. Games using elements of the Apocalypse World engine are often referred to as Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA).
Uncanny Echo contains small, episodic stories rooted in mysterious or eerie events that unravel with each Issue. Something somewhat normal becomes something else: surreal, unearthly... uncanny.
Each Issue is a pick-up-and-play one shot, intended to form an ongoing serialized narrative that has a meta-narrative external from any given session. Within these modular experiences, each game will differ greatly with player input. Each uncanny story is of your own making and unfolds in an emergent manner. You to play to find out what happens with as little cognitive load as possible.

Culture Theory
Systemless Sourcebook
By Dancing Lights Press
Characters, Worldbuilding, and Adventures
In the context of a fantasy world, culture can mean a lot of things. Often people reduce it to what tabletop games traditionally call race. Elves are magical, learned, and like nature. Dwarves are sassy, temperamental, and like to party. It’s not so much a collection of cultural markers, or even ethnic markers, as it is a set of stereotypes. Even fantasy humans suffer from this. Where in the real world humanity is varied in its customs, values, and beliefs, within tabletop settings they become a monoculture, distinguished from elves and dwarves primarily by the shape of their ears, their height, and what sorts of ability bonuses they get.
No, not all settings are like that, but as tabletop storytellers we can do better overall. The way to make your campaign stand out, to be truly unique, isn’t to create more player character races or re-skin existing ones. It’s to get more out of what’s already there. Develop the cultures within your world. Whether it’s the people within a kingdom, an ethnic group spread out across continents, or a distinct species of beings, there should be more to them than stock abilities and numbers. They should be interesting.
The purpose of this book is to help you flesh out the cultural elements of your campaign in order to make it unique. The choices you make about the peoples within your setting will create new background and roleplaying options for your player characters, antagonists, and supporting cast. You will generate new worldbuilding prompts to explore and deepen what your elements say about those cultures. Adventure hooks and story ideas will spring from the people, their traditions, systems of governance, and beliefs. Developing your cultures is an investment worth making.

Avremier: Supplement 0

Avremier is a world said to rest at the very center of Creation. Contested by gods and monsters of outer dimensions, this is the new home of a colonial human race.

The Darkness Beneath Dalentown
Swords & Wizardry / OSR Adventure
By Tim Bannock
The Darkness Beneath Dalentown is a Swords & Wizardry adventure for characters of levels 8-12 that takes a party of adventurers below the surface of Dalentown to investigate a long-abandoned dwarven stronghold. But that's where the familiar tropes end! Spurred by stories of restless spirits, the party soon finds themselves staring down an invading force of oozes, slimes, puddings, and jellies all in the service of demons! Worse still, the ancient dwarven lords that once protected this underground library and mining operation have been horribly transfigured by the infernal powers at work, and linger on as deadly spirits and automated guardians who are tortured by their station and forced to repel the intrepid adventurers!
This module features a fully realized town setting -- Dalentown -- complete with maps, developed NPCs, and above-ground intrigues. In the sewers -- also mapped out -- are the beginnings of the town's troubles, and four levels of dungeons connect to the sewers to create a sprawling dungeon crawl and a threat that could destroy Dalentown completely...by turning its inhabitants into mindless slime zombies! Tons of advice, sidebars, random encounter tables, and other random table generators give Referees the tools to run this adventure as a standalone event, as part of a bigger campaign, or to tear it apart into its component bits and leverage them as tools for their own homebrew campaigns. All maps are built with DM and PC versions, hiding any secrets, and are optimized for easy use in virtual tabletop programs.

Dark Astral
Zweihander Grim & Perilous Setting
By Grim & Perilous Studios
WHAT IS DARK ASTRAL?
The solar system is spread apart into warring fiefdoms, technology has gone by the wayside and become an extreme luxury, education is fleeting and knowledge is reserved for the powerful – meaning science and medicine lag behind. Religion and superstition reign. This is a campaign setting that’s deeply entrenched in superstition and subverted ideals, despite the staggering height of technology.
Dark Astral is the Renaissance era transplanted into the theater of the Vault of Night: foolhardy Shadowbrokers, corrupted Klergists, insane Psykonauts, hedonistic Technokrats, sanguine Manhunters and ravaged Astrotemplars all have their niche, even if their sailing ships are replaced by space arks and bows with laser rifles. In Dark Astral, we don’t use traditional science fiction terms: aliens are called The Other, gravity is called Ætherea, planets are called Dominions, spaceships are called Arks, stars are called Mirrors and space itself is called the Vault of Night. In the uncharted territories in the Vault of Night, there are not galaxies, but Wytch-spirals. Steeped in superstition and living in the wake of lost technology, Characters will struggle against the grim spectre of a corruptive force from beyond - deep within the Dark Astral!
WHAT'S INSIDE?
Within this 32-page PDF, you're going to find a new approach to use Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG at your game table. Dark Astral is the first of a new series of chapbooks, where we've taken the base #ZweihanderRPG rules and cast them through the lens of a Biblically-inspired, pseudo future of 'Spacehander'. Dark Astral is a little bit of Alejandro Jodorowsky's unrealized take on Dune, mixed with a healthy influence of Xenogears and the gritty science fantasy of the first edition of Rogue Trader.
We've included a comprehensive equipment list, including a ton of new weapons, armor, technological trappings and Qualities that apply to them. You'll also find technical ideas around how to use #ZweihanderRPG core Professions in this chapbook, accompanied by Moebius-styled artwork drawn by Ken Duquet! Most importantly, everything you see in Dark Astral is perfectly compatible with Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG.
A CHAPBOOK YOU SAY?
A chapbook is an experiment on how we deliver future supplements for Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG. It is meant as a tasting room; we're setting the table with some new recipes, and we want to hear from you on how you like them. Our chapbooks are intended to be released exclusively on DriveThruRPG in PDF format, and eventually for print-on-demand.
You can also think of our chapbook as a 'skunkworks' of sorts; a place to run with new rules and ideas from our game table to yours. We want to hear about your experiences with Dark Astral on social media (using the hashtags #Spacehander and #DarkAstral). Based on what we hear, we may turn Dark Astral into a full-blown supplement. One of the key components of the chapbook series is to listen to you: what you like, don't like, etc. We will take under consideration community feedback, refactor where needed, blow out new options and provide a more expansive treatment should it prove to be popular with #ZweihanderRPG fans.
So come along with us and join this crazy ride with our first chapbook, which we're calling Dark Astral!

Decrypto
3-8 players, ages 12+, 15-45+ minutes
By IELLO
Players compete in two teams in Decrypto, with each trying to correctly interpret the coded messages presented to them by their teammates while cracking the codes they intercept from the opposing team.
In more detail, each team has their own screen, and in this screen they tuck four cards in pockets numbered 1-4, letting everyone on the same team see the words on these cards while hiding the words from the opposing team. In the first round, each team does the following: One team member takes a code card that shows three of the digits 1-4 in some order, e.g., 4-2-1. They then give a coded message that their teammates must use to guess this code. For example, if the team's four words are "pig", "candy", "tent", and "son", then I might say "Sam-striped-pink" and hope that my teammates can correctly map those words to 4-2-1. If they guess correctly, great; if not, we receive a black mark of failure.
Starting in the second round, a member of each team must again give a clue about their words to match a numbered code. If I get 2-4-3, I might now say, "sucker-prince-stake". The other team then attempts to guess our numbered code. If they're correct, they receive a white mark of success; if not, then my team must guess the number correctly or take a black mark of failure. (Guessing correctly does nothing except avoid failure and give the opposing team information about what our hidden words might be.)
The rounds continue until a team collects either its second white mark (winning the game) or its second black mark (losing the game). Games typically last between 4-7 rounds. If neither team has won after eight rounds, then each team must attempt to guess the other team's words; whichever team guesses more words correctly wins.

Fae
2-4 players, ages 10+, 30+ minutes
By Z-Man Games
In Fae, first released as Clans, each player is trying to achieve victory by scoring as many points for their color as they can. This is tricky as each player's color is chosen at random and kept hidden until the end of the game. Each region of the board contains five areas, each one of five different types. Each area receives one hut each of five different colors. On their turn, a player moves all huts from one area containing less than seven to an adjacent area, all the while trying to hide which color is theirs. After moving, if one or more areas are completely surrounded by empty areas, they are scored. If all colors are present in a scoring, any colors with only one hut present are removed. The epoch track allows a limited number of areas to score before the game ends, and each scoring will either gain a bonus or score nothing depending on the terrain type in which scoring occurred and how far along the track the game has progressed; each scoring advances the track, and each section of the track gives different terrain types bonuses and penalties.
Once at least twelve areas have scored the game ends, then players reveal their colors to find out who was best able to score the most points while keeping their color a secret.

Red Poppies Campaigns: Volume 2 - Last Laurels at Limanowa (LLL), simulates Austria-Hungary's last independent victory against the Russian Empire in World War I. In November 1914, Russia's 3rd Army pressed on Krakow, the center of Austrian Poland, while the Russian 8th Army threatened to break through the Carpathian passes into Hungary.

Korea: Fire and Ice
1-4 players, ages 12+, 3-10+ hours
By Compass Games
Korea: Fire and Ice is the first game in a new system called Operational Scale System. This system will cover large scale combat from World War Two into the modern era. The scale for the system will be 10 miles a hex and weekly turns, with Divisions as the primary maneuver unit.
Using at its heart a system that is from an older but wonderfully conceived game called “Road to the Rhine”, players will be able to move all their units once but can, if they can afford the supply cost, move the still unmoved units impulse after impulse. The opposing player will have to maintain adequate reserves to counter this.
The grand campaign game covers the first year of the war.

World at War #60: Eisenhower’s War
Magazine & Wargame
By Decision Games
Eisenhower’s War (EW) is a two-player wargame covering the final 11 months of World War II in northwest Europe, from D-Day through the end of April 1945, when the Anglo-Allied campaign in the west effectively came to its end. The game is also easily adaptable for solitaire play. The political boundaries shown on the map are those drawn by Hitler prior to his downfall. Victory is judged by measuring the player’s performances against that of their historic counterparts, with the historic outcome reckoned as a draw. If the Allied player does better than Eisenhower, he will be adjudged to have won the game. If he does worse, he’ll be reckoned to have lost the game. Each turn of play equals one or two months of ‘real’ time, depending on the time of year. Each hexagon represents 40 miles (65 km) from side to opposite side.

The Killing Game
Degenesis RPG Sourcebook
By Sixmorevodka
TOULON MUST BURN
Welcome to Franka. It’s the year 2596. Death lurks in the shadows of the swamps and hatred breeds in the hearts of the envious. To the north, spores fall from the sky, to the south, there are rumors of war. For ten years, Lady Luck has smiled on Hamza and inspired the Raider to ever-riskier endeavors. However, the frenzy of success draws enemies into the orbit of the Neolibyan Raider. They lust for his wealth, his power and his reputation. In their eyes, Hamza bleeds out the land; he is the source of the depletion of Franka and needs to die.
The chainsaws are well oiled, the revolvers are loaded and the rage burns. The smell of an imminent rebellion mingles with the salty sea breeze – one spark, and the time of peace will be over. Forever.
This book reveals the details of the machinations on the southern coast of Franka and leads experienced players even deeper into the world of DEGENESIS.

The Marketplace
Systemless Sourcebook
By Phalanx Games Design
This is a follow-on project from Orbis Mundi2 which covered the real background of the Medieval period, dealing with all the myriad of details pretty much every role playing game to date gets wrong.
The Marketplace is a massive book covering not just what items were available and what they actually (or were likely) to cost it also covers the economic underpinnings of trade and commerce. This allows a GM to tailor the prices (mainly from the 14th century) for a specific period within the overall range covered (the 11th to the 14th centuries).
For example, the nonsense that every RPG since the original D&D has peddled to the effect that Longbows are somehow worth more than a sword when, historically (depending on the 'sword') the reverse was true ... massively so ... is not followed in the book ... the real cost of a Longbow was not the Bow, but the training needed to make a competent Archer. There are even some suggestions as how to deal with this factor in most games.
The book has chapters on Markets, Fairs & Shops, Taxes & Trade, Bullion & Banks, Marketplace Basics, Wages & Salaries, Selected Price Series, Alchemists & Alchemy, The Armoury, Camping Gear, Clothes & Fashion, Farms & Farming, Food, Fast & Otherwise, Hardware & Tools, Home & Furnishings, Learning & Letters, Lighting & Illumination, Travel & Trade, and is rounded off with a Master Price List and appendices on Church & Religion and Manors & Castles.

Uncanny Echo Issue 4: Present
Powered by the Apocalypse Magazine
By Wrecking Ball Games
This game does not teach you how to play Powered by the Apocalypse games. It assumes you have knowledge of the PbtA engine and leverages that information to create a pick-up-and-play, rules-lite one-shot experience.
Issue 4: Present
This issue is more narrow in focus than others because it is based on a novel and movie, Bringing Out The Dead. This source material follows a burned-out nightshift paramedic who struggles with intense personal and spiritual trauma after too many years on the job.
You’ll find one playbook, the Medic; you’ll play someone experienced and trained in this field to the point where their job is habitual. They work with skill and precision but find that, more often than not, the outcome is not something in their purview.
Because this subject matter is intense and beyond my expertise, this issue is not concerned with simulating the actual care of the people medics tend to in real life. Instead, we will focus on the peripheral lives of the protagonists and the city at night, much like in Bringing Out The Dead. This issue interrogates the city, what it is and what it feels, and the altogether different lives and events most people never experience.
A life distinct from the daytime hours and experiences of people not belonging to the machinations of evening and dawn—when the surreal and bizarre feel possible.
----------------
Uncanny Echo is a serialized roleplaying game. It borrows from part of the Apocalypse World engine created by D. Vincent Baker and Meguey Baker. Games using elements of the Apocalypse World engine are often referred to as Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA).
Uncanny Echo contains small, episodic stories rooted in mysterious or eerie events that unravel with each Issue. Something somewhat normal becomes something else: surreal, unearthly... uncanny.
Each Issue is a pick-up-and-play one shot, intended to form an ongoing serialized narrative that has a meta-narrative external from any given session. Within these modular experiences, each game will differ greatly with player input. Each uncanny story is of your own making and unfolds in an emergent manner. You to play to find out what happens with as little cognitive load as possible.

Culture Theory
Systemless Sourcebook
By Dancing Lights Press
Characters, Worldbuilding, and Adventures
In the context of a fantasy world, culture can mean a lot of things. Often people reduce it to what tabletop games traditionally call race. Elves are magical, learned, and like nature. Dwarves are sassy, temperamental, and like to party. It’s not so much a collection of cultural markers, or even ethnic markers, as it is a set of stereotypes. Even fantasy humans suffer from this. Where in the real world humanity is varied in its customs, values, and beliefs, within tabletop settings they become a monoculture, distinguished from elves and dwarves primarily by the shape of their ears, their height, and what sorts of ability bonuses they get.
No, not all settings are like that, but as tabletop storytellers we can do better overall. The way to make your campaign stand out, to be truly unique, isn’t to create more player character races or re-skin existing ones. It’s to get more out of what’s already there. Develop the cultures within your world. Whether it’s the people within a kingdom, an ethnic group spread out across continents, or a distinct species of beings, there should be more to them than stock abilities and numbers. They should be interesting.
The purpose of this book is to help you flesh out the cultural elements of your campaign in order to make it unique. The choices you make about the peoples within your setting will create new background and roleplaying options for your player characters, antagonists, and supporting cast. You will generate new worldbuilding prompts to explore and deepen what your elements say about those cultures. Adventure hooks and story ideas will spring from the people, their traditions, systems of governance, and beliefs. Developing your cultures is an investment worth making.

The Darkness Beneath Dalentown
Swords & Wizardry / OSR Adventure
By Tim Bannock
The Darkness Beneath Dalentown is a Swords & Wizardry adventure for characters of levels 8-12 that takes a party of adventurers below the surface of Dalentown to investigate a long-abandoned dwarven stronghold. But that's where the familiar tropes end! Spurred by stories of restless spirits, the party soon finds themselves staring down an invading force of oozes, slimes, puddings, and jellies all in the service of demons! Worse still, the ancient dwarven lords that once protected this underground library and mining operation have been horribly transfigured by the infernal powers at work, and linger on as deadly spirits and automated guardians who are tortured by their station and forced to repel the intrepid adventurers!
This module features a fully realized town setting -- Dalentown -- complete with maps, developed NPCs, and above-ground intrigues. In the sewers -- also mapped out -- are the beginnings of the town's troubles, and four levels of dungeons connect to the sewers to create a sprawling dungeon crawl and a threat that could destroy Dalentown completely...by turning its inhabitants into mindless slime zombies! Tons of advice, sidebars, random encounter tables, and other random table generators give Referees the tools to run this adventure as a standalone event, as part of a bigger campaign, or to tear it apart into its component bits and leverage them as tools for their own homebrew campaigns. All maps are built with DM and PC versions, hiding any secrets, and are optimized for easy use in virtual tabletop programs.

Dark Astral
Zweihander Grim & Perilous Setting
By Grim & Perilous Studios
WHAT IS DARK ASTRAL?
The solar system is spread apart into warring fiefdoms, technology has gone by the wayside and become an extreme luxury, education is fleeting and knowledge is reserved for the powerful – meaning science and medicine lag behind. Religion and superstition reign. This is a campaign setting that’s deeply entrenched in superstition and subverted ideals, despite the staggering height of technology.
Dark Astral is the Renaissance era transplanted into the theater of the Vault of Night: foolhardy Shadowbrokers, corrupted Klergists, insane Psykonauts, hedonistic Technokrats, sanguine Manhunters and ravaged Astrotemplars all have their niche, even if their sailing ships are replaced by space arks and bows with laser rifles. In Dark Astral, we don’t use traditional science fiction terms: aliens are called The Other, gravity is called Ætherea, planets are called Dominions, spaceships are called Arks, stars are called Mirrors and space itself is called the Vault of Night. In the uncharted territories in the Vault of Night, there are not galaxies, but Wytch-spirals. Steeped in superstition and living in the wake of lost technology, Characters will struggle against the grim spectre of a corruptive force from beyond - deep within the Dark Astral!
WHAT'S INSIDE?
Within this 32-page PDF, you're going to find a new approach to use Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG at your game table. Dark Astral is the first of a new series of chapbooks, where we've taken the base #ZweihanderRPG rules and cast them through the lens of a Biblically-inspired, pseudo future of 'Spacehander'. Dark Astral is a little bit of Alejandro Jodorowsky's unrealized take on Dune, mixed with a healthy influence of Xenogears and the gritty science fantasy of the first edition of Rogue Trader.
We've included a comprehensive equipment list, including a ton of new weapons, armor, technological trappings and Qualities that apply to them. You'll also find technical ideas around how to use #ZweihanderRPG core Professions in this chapbook, accompanied by Moebius-styled artwork drawn by Ken Duquet! Most importantly, everything you see in Dark Astral is perfectly compatible with Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG.
A CHAPBOOK YOU SAY?
A chapbook is an experiment on how we deliver future supplements for Zweihänder Grim & Perilous RPG. It is meant as a tasting room; we're setting the table with some new recipes, and we want to hear from you on how you like them. Our chapbooks are intended to be released exclusively on DriveThruRPG in PDF format, and eventually for print-on-demand.
You can also think of our chapbook as a 'skunkworks' of sorts; a place to run with new rules and ideas from our game table to yours. We want to hear about your experiences with Dark Astral on social media (using the hashtags #Spacehander and #DarkAstral). Based on what we hear, we may turn Dark Astral into a full-blown supplement. One of the key components of the chapbook series is to listen to you: what you like, don't like, etc. We will take under consideration community feedback, refactor where needed, blow out new options and provide a more expansive treatment should it prove to be popular with #ZweihanderRPG fans.
So come along with us and join this crazy ride with our first chapbook, which we're calling Dark Astral!

The Forgotten Age
Arkham Horror LCG Deluxe Expansion
By Fantasy Flight Games
We think we know the history of the Earth, but there are secrets that lie beyond our reckoning and truths that could undo our entire understanding of the universe. When renowned historian Alejandro Vela discovers one of these secrets, the ruins of an ancient and forgotten Aztec city, it sets into motion a plot that could unravel the very fabric of time.
The Forgotten Age is the third deluxe expansion for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. Here, your team of investigators embark on a scientific expedition to the rainforests of Southern Mexico in two new scenarios, each of which can be played as a standalone adventure or can act as the beginning of a new campaign for your team. This expansion introduces five new investigators to Arkham Horror: The Card Game along with sixty-four player cards and eighty-seven encounter cards, including an all new exploration deck that presents new challenges for you to overcome as you find yourself falling into The Forgotten Age.

Decrypto
3-8 players, ages 12+, 15-45+ minutes
By IELLO
Players compete in two teams in Decrypto, with each trying to correctly interpret the coded messages presented to them by their teammates while cracking the codes they intercept from the opposing team.
In more detail, each team has their own screen, and in this screen they tuck four cards in pockets numbered 1-4, letting everyone on the same team see the words on these cards while hiding the words from the opposing team. In the first round, each team does the following: One team member takes a code card that shows three of the digits 1-4 in some order, e.g., 4-2-1. They then give a coded message that their teammates must use to guess this code. For example, if the team's four words are "pig", "candy", "tent", and "son", then I might say "Sam-striped-pink" and hope that my teammates can correctly map those words to 4-2-1. If they guess correctly, great; if not, we receive a black mark of failure.
Starting in the second round, a member of each team must again give a clue about their words to match a numbered code. If I get 2-4-3, I might now say, "sucker-prince-stake". The other team then attempts to guess our numbered code. If they're correct, they receive a white mark of success; if not, then my team must guess the number correctly or take a black mark of failure. (Guessing correctly does nothing except avoid failure and give the opposing team information about what our hidden words might be.)
The rounds continue until a team collects either its second white mark (winning the game) or its second black mark (losing the game). Games typically last between 4-7 rounds. If neither team has won after eight rounds, then each team must attempt to guess the other team's words; whichever team guesses more words correctly wins.

Fae
2-4 players, ages 10+, 30+ minutes
By Z-Man Games
In Fae, first released as Clans, each player is trying to achieve victory by scoring as many points for their color as they can. This is tricky as each player's color is chosen at random and kept hidden until the end of the game. Each region of the board contains five areas, each one of five different types. Each area receives one hut each of five different colors. On their turn, a player moves all huts from one area containing less than seven to an adjacent area, all the while trying to hide which color is theirs. After moving, if one or more areas are completely surrounded by empty areas, they are scored. If all colors are present in a scoring, any colors with only one hut present are removed. The epoch track allows a limited number of areas to score before the game ends, and each scoring will either gain a bonus or score nothing depending on the terrain type in which scoring occurred and how far along the track the game has progressed; each scoring advances the track, and each section of the track gives different terrain types bonuses and penalties.
Once at least twelve areas have scored the game ends, then players reveal their colors to find out who was best able to score the most points while keeping their color a secret.

Korea: Fire and Ice
1-4 players, ages 12+, 3-10+ hours
By Compass Games
Korea: Fire and Ice is the first game in a new system called Operational Scale System. This system will cover large scale combat from World War Two into the modern era. The scale for the system will be 10 miles a hex and weekly turns, with Divisions as the primary maneuver unit.
Using at its heart a system that is from an older but wonderfully conceived game called “Road to the Rhine”, players will be able to move all their units once but can, if they can afford the supply cost, move the still unmoved units impulse after impulse. The opposing player will have to maintain adequate reserves to counter this.
The grand campaign game covers the first year of the war.

World at War #60: Eisenhower’s War
Magazine & Wargame
By Decision Games
Eisenhower’s War (EW) is a two-player wargame covering the final 11 months of World War II in northwest Europe, from D-Day through the end of April 1945, when the Anglo-Allied campaign in the west effectively came to its end. The game is also easily adaptable for solitaire play. The political boundaries shown on the map are those drawn by Hitler prior to his downfall. Victory is judged by measuring the player’s performances against that of their historic counterparts, with the historic outcome reckoned as a draw. If the Allied player does better than Eisenhower, he will be adjudged to have won the game. If he does worse, he’ll be reckoned to have lost the game. Each turn of play equals one or two months of ‘real’ time, depending on the time of year. Each hexagon represents 40 miles (65 km) from side to opposite side.
