Role Playing

Havana, December 29, 1955: At the end of the meal offered at his "faithful" henchmen, don Alessandro evokes the "business" in progress. Suddenly, the phone rang in the back room of the restaurant. The Godfather is convened to the office of President Batista. He entrusted his precious cigar box to his henchmen. It must be said that the cigar box has a false bottom, under the first layer of cigars, the box is filled with diamonds!

In Mafia de Cuba, each player will take the cigar box, open it and choose to:

Betray and steal some diamonds,
Remain a faithful and "honest" mafioso, be a driver, or act as an undercover CIA agent.

In the evening, the Godfather recovers his cigar box. He blows a fuse when he finds the disappearance of diamonds. He must find his treasure and punish offenders by providing them cement shoes before throwing them in the bay. After heated debates and perilous deductions, The Godfather, with the help of is faithful henchmen will try to find all his stolen diamonds.

Does he lose his honor by accusing wrongly?
Do the most cunning thieves win?
Or is it the CIA that will send these thugs behind bars?

Funemployed is a card-based party game in which everyone's trying to become employed.

Apply for real jobs, like astronaut, lawyer or priest, with unreal qualifications, such as a dragon, the ability to speak panda, or a DeLorean. In the game, each player uses his qualifications to convince the other players that he's the best qualified for a job. To do this, players tell the story of why their qualifications make them the best fit for a job by role-playing and acting like they are on an interview. Find innovative ways to use your qualifications and become the most "funemployed" player at the table!

Beyond the Supernatural™ Two builds on the bones of the classic BTS game to create a modern world of horror and magic unlike any before it.
The supernatural is real. Psychic abilities and the paranormal are real. Magic is real. Yet science and authority figures dismiss them as hysteria, hoaxes and madness. However, special individuals gifted with special abilities or cursed with firsthand encounters find themselves inexorably linked to the paranormal and forced to deal with the consequences.

Some of our heroes are gung-ho psychics and sorcerers who see themselves as humankind's hidden protectors. Others are drawn into the realm of shadows through quirks of fate, or fueled by feelings of revenge. Still others are reluctant heroes and even victims, but all have been touched, in some way, by forces beyond human comprehension - Beyond the Supernatural.

BTS-2 has really come together and will surprise people with its depth of character, background and new direction.
A contemporary horror setting that makes sense and challenges the players.

New P.C.C.s (Psychic Character Classes) include the Firewalker, Night Hunter, Psychic Medium, Diviner, Autistic Psychic Savant, ordinary people and others, all with new and unique abilities.

Many of the characters, psychic abilities and magical powers are unlike any Palladium Books has presented before. Characters and powers that will challenge players and bring a new level of strategy and role-playing to the surface.

Even familiar characters like the Psychic Sensitive, Healer, Nega-Psychic and others are more evolved and unique.

Character background and the world setting is bold, clear and sinister.

I.S.P. (Inner Strength Points) and P.P.E. (Potential Psychic Energy) interact with the characters and the supernatural in new ways.

The secrets of the supernatural, ESP, and magic are revealed.

Victor Lazlo and his lasting legacy: The Lazlo Agency is described.

The world background serves as a guide to adventure.

Dragon Strike has similar game play to Milton Bradley's HeroQuest.

One player acts as the "Dragon Master" (i.e., the DM) and controls the placement, movement, and action of the villains. The rest of the players control one of five different hero types (Warrior, Wizard, Thief, Elf, or Dwarf) and attempt to complete various adventure goals. Dragon Strike takes the HeroQuest game play and goes a step further in a few directions:

1) The Wizard and Elf have more spells at their disposal and a greater variety to choose from,

2) Dragon Strike comes with 4 different game boards (vs. HeroQuest's single board), one of which is outdoors,

3) a slightly more advanced combat system which uses different polyhedral dice (instead of all six-siders) and has concepts like flying creatures which can only be hit with spells and missile weapons, and

4) a (cheezy) 30 minute VHS video tape which introduces players to the game and sets the "mood" for playing.

Note: This game is available by request only and requires having a membership to play.
