- The Monarch, not the butterfly, but a king of the hill style crown that gives all sorts of goodies, but gets taken away whenever another player takes a successful shot at ya.
- Kill Dr Lucky:
The exact opposite of Clue, this stylish classic self describes as “The Family Game of Cold Blooded Murder” I played it with it’s creator, who had been fighting for years to get it back from a publisher that let it sit unprinted all that time, and it was great fun. The turns bounce around as players try and put themselves in the right room that the wandering Dr. Lucky will come to when none of the other players have line of sight to see them do the dirty dead. There’s more, and even a variant with Dr. Lucky’s dog(or cat) wandering around to mess things up, but in general…Thumbs up big time for this one.$39.99 and great for the whole family who doesn’t mind getting their hands on the candlestick in odd drawing room. 😉 
Brix: The best Tic Tac Toe variant since Niya. Think Connect 4 with pieces that contain one of each color glued together. Good two player game…simple to understand…tricky to play. $19.99- Dr. Eureka: Simple 2-4 player game where pattern matching meets dexterity as you compete to rearrange colored balls in 3 different test tubes to match the next revealed pattern first. Surprisingly addictive and can work with all ages. $19.99
- Fuse–Ben’s new fav.—A 10 minute high speed coop puzzle game for 1-5 players. Very, very fun. $29.99
- Here Kitty Kitty. a 2-4 player game of kitten acquisition from the same couple who created perpetual favorite, Castle Panic. $25.99
- Star Wars Rebellion-2-4 player game. Basically Star Wars hide and seek with Battle Stars. $99.99. (also very fun.)
- Halo Fleet Battles–Extremely highly rated miniature battle game great for any serious Halo fan. We only have two of these in stock. $129.99
- Firefly Flux….we have special bonus promo cards for the first 10 copies sold.
