Tag Team is back with 6 new Fighters inspired by the legends of King Arthur!

Arthurian legends come to life in the Tag Team arena! Play as Morgan, Merlin, The Dragon, Perceval, The Green Knight… and even Excalibur! In Tag Team, we don’t sit around telling stories, though, we FIGHT!

Who will dominate the arena as these legendary characters engage in epic battles?

Tag Team is a cross between a tactical auto battler and a deckbuilder, inspired by the greatest classic arcade games, featuring awesome and charismatic Fighters, each with their own fighting styles and signature moves. Build your team of 2 and put together the ultimate synergies by combining their 2 unique decks!

Round 2… FIGHT!

— All Tag Team expansions are compatible with the base game and each other. —

In more detail, in Tag Team, you start with a deck of only two cards, and the fight unfolds automatically: Flip your cards one at a time and apply their effects. At the end of each round, you get to turn up the heat on the opposing team by strategically adding new cards to program your deck — but without reordering the cards already present. Determine what makes your tag team tick, play devastating combos, and dominate your opponent by deftly blocking their attacks. Timing is everything if you want to emerge victorious and knock out your foe!

Tag Team: Arthur’s Legacy is coming in 2026.

Details:

Players: 2-2
Playtime: 15–20 Min.
Ages: 10+

Greedy explorers are riding in a submarine together, searching for treasure in the deep sea. With their diving suits on, and brand new boost capability, the explorers eagerly begin their search for treasure. However, their beat-up submarine has only a single air tank for which they all must share. All it takes is one reckless explorer to endanger the lives of everyone else.

Can the explorers make it back safely to the submarine with their lives and treasure intact?

The Networks – Primetime

1-5 Players | Ages 13+ | 60-90 Minutes

Originally released in 2016, Gil Hova’s The Networks returns in a streamlined, redeveloped edition that’s sharper and more engaging than ever! Players compete as up-and-coming television networks, drafting cards to build a lineup of Shows, Stars, and Ads over four intense rounds to become the top cable TV boss.

Shows need Stars and Ads to succeed. Stars boost your viewers (points), while Ads bring in extra money. But resources are limited, and timing is critical—grab the hottest shows before your rivals do! Some Stars have specific preferences, like appearing only in certain genres or being the sole Star on a show, and Ads earn the most when placed in optimal time slots.

Shows age, and audiences lose interest, so keeping your lineup fresh is key. Canceling shows sends them into reruns, earning additional viewers, and bonuses are awarded for building a cohesive genre strategy. Network Cards add special powers, offering game-changing opportunities—but deciding when to use them is part of the challenge.

After five seasons, the player with the most viewers wins! The Networks – Primetime blends strategic drafting, resource management, and clever timing for a highly competitive and replayable experience.

Zombie Fluxx is the chaotic, ever-shifting zombie uprising edition of the award-winning game Fluxx — now featuring Ungoal cards, which introduce doomsday conditions where everyone loses. Just like in classic Fluxx, the rules are constantly changing as players put new cards into play, altering how many cards you draw, how many you can keep, how many you play, and even the way victory is achieved.

The game begins simply: each player starts with three cards and, on their turn, draws one card and plays one card. From there, everything unravels delightfully. New Rules twist the flow of the game, Goals redefine what you need to win, and Keepers and Creepers hit the table to either help—or completely ruin—your plans. In Zombie Fluxx, the undead appear as Creepers that cling to you and stop you from winning, unless you can blast, hack, or outmaneuver them using the weapons and helpful items among your Keepers. You might even have some trusty friends to assist you… until they turn into zombies and need to be taken out.

Wild, unpredictable, and packed with personality, Zombie Fluxx captures the spirit of survival horror while keeping the gameplay quick and light.

PROTTACK is a pocket-sized battle card game of strategy, sabotage, and sheer dumb luck.

Every Royal comes with spicy powers to shake up the battlefield, keeping each round unpredictable and wildly replayable.

Easy to learn and perfect for any group, PROTTACK plays in 15–40 minutes depending on how focused—or easily distracted—your players are. All you need is the 100-card deck, making it ideal for 1v1 duels, big group showdowns, family gatherings, after-work drinks, or date night strategy battles. Compact, energetic, and endlessly cheeky, PROTTACK blends party-game chaos with light, clever tactics for a fiercely fun experience wherever you play.

Rebel Princess
3-6 Players | Ages 8+ | 30-40 Minutes

Step into the shoes of your favourite fairy tale princess in Rebel Princess, a whimsical trick-taking game where independence is key! Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and other beloved princesses are celebrating a five-day party, but beware — uninvited prince charmings are trying to sneak in to propose marriage. Your goal? Stay single and independent by avoiding proposals while using your wits and special abilities.

Over five rounds, each with its own unique rule, players play numbered cards in the classic trick-taking style. The highest card in the lead suit wins the trick, but collecting prince charmings isn’t always a victory — each prince brings one marriage proposal, and the enchanted frog brings five! The player with the fewest proposals at the end of the party wins.

Each princess has a special ability that can be used once per round, adding strategy, variety, and a touch of fairy tale magic to every game. Perfect for family game nights or gatherings with friends, Rebel Princess combines clever card play, humor, and enchanting storytelling.
