Open Drafting

Inkwell

The abbey at Iona is famed for its illustrious manuscripts, replete with gold leaf and remarkable calligraphy. In fact, through talent and discipline, you have joined their ranks as a master illuminator!

In Inkwell, each player will either take supplies from a shared mat, or choose to score and move on to a new page of their own codex. Supplies include colored ink cubes, gold leaf, and technique cards with special powers and effects. Everything you take must fit on your manuscript card, and if you empty the last inkwell of a certain type, the abbot ticks down the game time towards ending the game. If you choose to turn the page, you score for all your completed work, and collect your ability cards on the side to benefit you the rest of the game, building an 'engine' of learned skills. You also get a reward of gold leaf and a chance to pick your next page to work on. Just beware that if the abbot becomes upset, he may force you to move forward before you are finished.

A strategic and tactical game with few rules and lots of choices, Inkwell is designed to celebrate beautiful historical manuscripts and surprisingly tricky gameplay for groups or even solo play.

First Giants

Dive into First Giants, a race to create the most prestigious prehistorical animal exhibit!
Build your engine by collecting cards with powerful effects OR score points by playing your cards in the exhibit area.
But beware! Once displayed, you’ll lose their beneficial effects.
Timing is crucial to win!

First Giants is a game of set collecting and combinations in which players recruit cards representing dinosaurs, flying reptiles, giant mammals… of various sizes.
These cards have many different powers and you can create powerful combinations to earn amber, victory points and the ability to exhibit your fossils.

Tenby

Tenby is one of the most beautiful towns in Wales. Wander our colourful streets, walk along our piers with some scrumptious fish and chips, and relax on our stunning beaches with a nice cold ice cream and a warm feeling in your heart.

The aim of Tenby is to create the best town you can using the available cards. On your turn, you will draft and place cards to add terraces, piers, and Tenby town’s landmarks into your streets. If you can persuade a hard working local resident to help, you might just pick up some extra points! Whoever has the most points at the end of the game is the winner!

Each round consists of 3 phases: Day, Night, and Cleanup. The Day cards and Night Cards are closely connected to each other. The Night Cards provide the order in which players will select Day Cards. The Day Cards provide the order in which players will take their actions that round, and will also set the Night Card player order for the next round. The game ends immediately after the last player has taken their last available action at the end of the tenth round.

Portals is an abstract game akin to chess. If you enjoy spacial reasoning puzzles and visualizing spacial sequences, you will enjoy Portals!

Sagrada (Revised Edition)

Draft dice and use the tools-of-the-trade in Sagrada to carefully construct your stained glass window masterpiece.

In more detail, each player builds a stained glass window by building up a grid of dice on their player board. Each board has some restrictions on which color or shade (value) of die can be placed there. Dice of the same shade or color may never be placed next to each other. Dice are drafted in player order, with the start player rotating each round, snaking back around after the last player drafts two dice. Scoring is variable per game based on achieving various patterns and varieties of placement...as well as bonus points for dark shades of a particular hidden goal color.

Special tools can be used to help you break the rules by spending skill tokens; once a tool is used, it then requires more skill tokens for the other players to use them.

The highest scoring window artisan wins!
