A baking competition card game for 2-6 players, where players race to collect the right ingredients for their recipes before other players sabotage them.
Each player has 7 cards in their hand. These cards will be either ingredient cards that are used to complete their recipes, or strategy cards that the player can use to sabotage other players by stealing ingredients, spoiling ingredients, etc. Each player gets a recipe card laid on the table in front of them. When an ingredient is placed on the table, it becomes in play and vulnerable to other players actions.
On each players turn, they can do 2 actions. Those actions can be putting an ingredient in play, playing a strategy card, or replacing a card in their hand. At the end of their turn, they draw back up to 7 cards.
Each completed recipe is worth 1 point but there are "Blue Ribbon" cards and "Double Batch" cards that can give the player bonus points when a recipe is finished.
The first player to 5 points, wins!
The game includes 110 ingredient and strategy cards, and a collection of 24 recipe cards. The number of recipes could vary based on Kickstarter exclusive recipes, etc.
Saboteur: The Lost Mines is a board game inspired by the famous Saboteur card game. While it uses ideas of the basic game, the expansion, and the two-player game, it is also very different.
In this game, players are divided in two clans; each clan contains loyal dwarves, selfish dwarves, and a saboteur, secretly working for the opposite clan. Players have their own pawn, and the dwarves must move over the paths in order to physically reach the four goal cards, one of which contains a sleeping dragon that you don't want to wake, so try to avoid that one, if possible. The (non-dragon) goal cards yield a variable number of points, depending on the displayed, but secret, treasure cards.
Sabotage isn't performed against a specific player, but directly on the board by playing blocking path cards or adding tokens. In this way, the sabotage affects always all players, including yourself. As opposed to Saboteur: The Duel, path cards you play don't have to be linked to your own start card, which offers many more sabotage options. Even so, no player is ever out of the game, either temporarily or permanently.

5211 is a fast-playing card game with a unique scoring method that rewards clever play!
This game has cards 1-6 in five colors. Each player starts with a hand of five cards. Players play two cards face-down, then simultaneously reveal them. They refill their hand, then repeat this process two more times, but only with one card.
The cards of the majority color will score — unless too many are present, in which case the color busts and the second most color scores. In case of a tie for majority, the tied colors are also out. These rounds are repeated until the deck runs out. The player with the most points wins.
5211 is a new edition of 5 COLORS that has all new art.
