Munchkin
Turned Based
War Game
Ogre and its sequel, G.E.V., are tactical ground combat
games set in the late 21st century. In 2085 A.D., armored
warfare is faster and deadlier than ever. Hovercraft, tanks
and infantry slug it out with tactical nukes. But the most
feared weapon of all needs no human guidance. It's the
giant cybernetic tank called the Ogre.

Go down into the dungeon. Kill everything you meet.
Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the
treasure and run.
Admit it. You love it.
If you're new to Ogre, here's a bit of fiction that will serve as
an introduction.
Ogre was Steve Jackson's first design. It was originally
released in 1977, as the first Metagaming Microgame. Since
then, it has appeared in Pocket Box and "Deluxe" largeboard editions, as well as a miniatures version and a
computer game from Origin Systems (now long out of
print).

Paper RPG
In the 13th Age of the world, adventurers seek
their fortunes in the Dragon Empire while
powerful individuals known as Icons pursue
goals that may preserve the empire from chaos,
or send it over the edge.
Players decide which Icons their characters ally
with, and which ones they oppose. These
relationships, along with a personal history and a
unique trait chosen during character creation,
help define an adventurer’s place in the world of
13th Age and lay the groundwork for epic stories
that emerge through play.
There are also fun new rules for hitting orcs and
making them go splat.

Something strange is happening at my school.
My teacher is acting like she’s been possessed.
The entire swim team has gone missing. There’s
some kind of monster hiding in the locker room.
There’s even an unauthorized club that meets
after school to hunt demons! And… I don’t know
if I can keep this a secret much longer… I think I
may have psychic powers!”
This is the game of psychic school girls but there
are plenty of very cool skins for the game my
favorite is Sky High. But there are X-Men, Harry
Potter, and Jedi Academy.

Game Name
Card Game
Mobscenity is a hilarious new adult party game
where players compete to turn innocent words
into the most outrageous definitions imaginable.
Mobscenity is incredibly easy to play: every
round of Mobscenity, the round's "Master" picks
2 innocent words from their hand to create a
Mobscenity Phrase. Each player then tries to
come up with the best definition for the phrase
and then use it in a sentence. The Master picks
their favorite response and the winning player
gets a point. Not for the faint of heart, the
results are frequently side-splitting.

In the Gloom card game, you assume control of
the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and
misanthropes. The goal of the game is sad, but
simple: you want your characters to suffer the
greatest tragedies possible before passing on to
the well-deserved respite of death. You'll play
horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or
Mocked by Midgets on your own characters to
lower their Self-Worth scores, while trying to
cheer your opponents' characters with marriages
and other happy occasions that pile on positive
points. The player with the lowest total Family
Value wins.
