DarkHyve Assault
Based on a one-inch grid system, DarkHyve will have you printing modular and buildable structures and cities. And perhaps best of all, they print with no support material. This set works as a stand-alone, but is also compatible with previous Assault Series Terrain sets, and add-ons will only let you add more variety and customization to your builds.
DarkHyve Assault: Second Wave expands upon the hugely successful Assault Series Terrain Range. It uses the same 3D printable, push-fit system, to combine your own combination of walls, pillars, junctions, platforms, doors, accessories and themed inserts. This release includes many community requested features, upgrades and integrated FX such as animated turrets, LEDs, smoke effects and more!

Gates of Krystalia is an RPG unlike any other. And if you’re looking for an anime-inspired TTRPG, it may just isekai your entire party to another world.
The anime TTRPG that plays like a TCG returns with the definitive core book of its central world. No dice, only cards, devastating combos, and tactical battles that reward smart play. New races, new classes, and an entire planet to explore.

Gold Country
We’d all like to come into a little extra gold. And now you can… In board game form. Players will develop mining companies, search for gold, and strategically pivot around the game board and other companies to find the most shiny rocks in the mountainside.
Eureka! Gold flows like an endless sea in the rich hills and forests of California, and countless would-be prospectors have flocked to the lush landscape to stake their claim and make their fortune. Gather your pickaxe and pan, scout the land, and invest in the richest mines to collect the most gold!
AdvertisementGold Country is a new California Gold Rush strategy game created by Reiner Knizia and gorgeously illustrated by Beth Sobel. While the design is inspired by a cult-classic Knizia game called Spectaculum, it has undergone extensive redevelopment by Reiner Knizia (closely collaborating with Bitewing Games) to become the ultimate stock market manipulation game. It features a completely reworked core game, all-new maps, exciting tactical abilities, and the lush landscapes of California.
Logic & Lore
Dragons and mice work together or organize the cosmos, and players organize have to figure out how to organize and solve all of this information. This game is unique, beautiful, and highly strategic as you try to figure out what your opponent’s and the entire cosmos’s next moves will be.
Logic & Lore is a cozy but competitive deduction game for 2 players. Rivals race to be the first to align their hidden stars. Work quickly and pay attention, as your rival knows how close you are to completion and they may risk it all to claim victory.
Each player has dragons and mice working together to organize the cosmos: they send their dragons out to gather information and the mice stay back to take notes and make conclusions based on the knowledge brought back by their dragons.
