ARCHEOS SOCIETY

Guide your team in Archeos Society as you explore legendary sites! Form small expeditions for quick progression, or larger expeditions that are more efficient but slower to assemble.

On each of your turns, recruit a new explorer or launch an expedition by playing your cards using a group of matching colors or roles. Choose your expedition leader wisely, as they determine which region you explore and provide a special ability for that expedition. When you launch an expedition, unplayed cards in your hand are made available for your opponents to recruit!

DEEP DIVE

Deep Dive is a press-your-luck set-collection game where your waddle of penguins dives deep into the ocean, amassing a bountiful collection of food!

Flip over an ocean tile, and see what you reveal. You can take what you find in the shallows or dive deeper, hoping for a larger catch. Watch out though! The deeper you go, the more plentiful the predators become. As you surface with food, you build sets of three colors. Target the colors you need to complete sets and score the maximum number of points.

When one of the depths of the ocean has been fully explored, the game ends and the penguin waddle with the best sets of food wins!

LITTORAL COMMANDER - THE INDO-PACIFIC

Littoral Commander Is a hybrid of standard wargames and card-driven games for 2-6 players. Action points activate stacks (formations) or single units. Ground units have ground and anti-air capabilities, naval units have missile and anti-air capabilities, while air units have strike and anti-air capabilities. LC also features logistics units which are critical for supply since modern forces will run out of ammunition quickly on a battlefield.

In addition to the 'usual' means of battlefield victory, the game also includes an Influence track which monitors public opinion and can lead to extra resources from home or allied nations. Influence fluctuates through the play of cards/outside events, but also from where combat takes place--fight in urban areas where there will be civilian casualties, and your influence will decrease.
