Join Anthony and Frances as they play through a 2 player game of the Halls of Hegra board game.

From an abandoned mountain fortress you command a group of Norwegian volunteers fighting numerically superior German forces in the early days of WW2.

Halls of Hegra is a solitaire-only wargame in the same vein as "Robinson Crusoe", "This War of Mine" and "Dead of Winter". The mechanics are worker placement, bag building, and area control/ tower defense.

You play as the commander of the Norwegian forces during the three stages of the game.

Join Anthony and Frances as they play through a 2 player game of the Drop Drive board game.

Drop Drive is a lightweight sandbox game for 2-4 players (5 with extra add-on pack), featuring a "drop-style" mechanic that assures no two games could possibly be the same. Drop Drive blends strategy with a novel spatial element that will challenge casual and hardcore gamers alike!

THE BIG BANG! At the start of each game, objects of all kinds are dropped onto the table from a height of 4 to 5 inches. This creates a galaxy layout with infinite possibilities. You will then assume the role of an alien starship captain, exploring space, upgrading your ship, mining asteroids for precious resources, and landing on mysterious worlds to sell your cargo, pick up passengers, and collect strange alien specimens!

Join Anthony and Frances as they play through a 2 player game of the Capital Campaign board game.

Lead Your Nonprofit on a 2-Year Fundraising Mission

Capital Campaign is a heavy worker placement/tableau-building game featuring variable abilities, unique worker roles, a rapidly-escalating scale of play, and many paths to victory. The signature mechanism that drives the game is gathering and planning out your resource management within a limited number of turns before they are gone and you start the next year fresh. Capital Campaign allows players to immerse themselves in a deep, rich world of philanthropy and doing the most good to come out on top.
