Risky treasure hunting in the depths of the sea…

Ages: 8 + | Players: 2 – 6 | Playtime: 60 Mins

In this powered-up Deep Sea Adventure, players roll 3 dice, boost and move their pieces deeper into the sea, trying to return safely with more treasure than anyone else.

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?

Inspired by the peaceful elegance of Japanese gardens, Koi invites players to create a beautiful ornamental pond filled with the colourful carp known in Japan as “swimming flowers.” In Japanese culture, koi are seen as living jewels and symbols of perseverance, virtue, luck, and success. Your goal is to design the most harmonious environment for these stunning fish while building a pond that is both beautiful and strategically rewarding.

1 – 4 Players | Ages 10+ | 45 Minutes

In Koi, players construct an authentic three-dimensional pond using layered tiles and decorative elements. As the game unfolds, you’ll carefully shape your tranquil environment, adding koi and ornamental features while making the most of the actions available to you. The challenge lies in balancing strategy and creativity to craft the most impressive and serene pond.

Each turn revolves around two key actions. By choosing to Meditate, you can draw cards, earn coins, and acquire new koi from the market. Alternatively, you can Work, using your Sensei’s unique abilities to place tiles and develop your pond’s layout. As the game progresses, you’ll complete evolving objectives, unlock additional features, and enhance your pond with striking 3D elements such as bridges and lanterns.

From the creators of Bonsai, Koi offers a calming yet strategic tabletop experience where no two ponds will ever be the same. The game also includes a robust solo mode, allowing players to enjoy a peaceful session of mindful planning and design on their own.

Fakin’ It brings the hit Jackbox Games party favourite off the screen and onto the table in a fast, hilarious card game all about bluffing, deception, and reading your friends. One player in the group is secretly chosen as the Faker and must try to blend in, even though they don’t know the task everyone else is responding to. The rest of the players know exactly what to do and must work together to spot the lying liar in their midst.

3-6 Players | Ages 14+ | 15 Minutes

Each round, a task card is passed around the table and read in secret using special wallets. Most wallets clearly reveal the task, but the Faker’s wallet shows nothing at all, forcing them to improvise and fake their response without giving themselves away. After everyone completes the task, players debate, accuse, and vote on who they believe is faking it before the truth is revealed.

The game features five different types of challenges to keep every round fresh and unpredictable. Players might raise or lower their hands, show a specific number of fingers, point at someone (or themselves), pull a facial expression, or answer a question out loud as truthfully as possible. Success depends on how well the Faker can read the room and how observant the group is at spotting inconsistencies.

Designed for 3 to 6 players, Fakin’ It is an energetic party game that rewards quick thinking, social deduction, and shameless bluffing. The box includes 300 task cards, 18 voting tokens, six secret wallets including one special Faker wallet, and a reveal wallet, making it perfect for game nights, parties, and groups who love to laugh, accuse, and outsmart one another.

Star Realms – 10th Anniversary Edition

Celebrate a decade of interstellar domination with the game that started it all! Star Realms has earned over a dozen awards, inspired more than ten expansions, and boasts an app with over 1,000,000 downloads. This 10th Anniversary Edition elevates the experience with extended artwork, a travel-friendly box accommodating sleeved or unsleeved cards, and high-quality components, making it a must-have for both new players and long-time fans.


Game Overview:

  • Players: 2 (expandable up to 6 with additional copies or expansions)

  • Playtime: 20–40 minutes

  • Ages: 12+

  • Designer: Darwin Kastle & Rob Dougherty

  • Game Type: Deck-building / Trading Card Game style combat


Contents:

  • 136 extended-artwork cards

  • 80-card main deck

  • 16 Explorer cards

  • Four 10-card personal decks

  • 4 compact score disks


Gameplay:
Star Realms combines the strategic depth of a deck-building game with the speed and interactivity of a Trading Card Game. Players take on the role of fleet commanders, acquiring Ships and Bases to generate Trade (to acquire new cards) and Combat (to attack opponents). The objective is to reduce your opponent’s Authority to zero, thereby winning the game.

Cards belong to four factions, each with unique abilities. Many cards include Ally effects, which reward players for combining cards of the same faction strategically.

Key mechanics include:

  • Trade & Combat: Use Trade to purchase new Ships and Bases; use Combat to attack opponent Authority or destroy their Bases.

  • Base Management: Bases remain in play and can be used each turn, while Outposts must be destroyed before directly attacking opponent Authority.

  • Deck-Building: Newly acquired cards are added to your discard pile, later shuffled into your deck for strategic long-term planning.

  • Tactical Decisions: Players constantly face choices such as whether to take the most powerful card for themselves, deny their opponent, or pursue faction synergies.


Replayability & Expansion:

  • Star Realms is easy to learn, yet offers deep strategic choices for advanced players.

  • Supports multiplayer formats (free-for-all or team play) with multiple sets or expansions, including Colony Wars and Frontiers, allowing up to six players.

  • Offers a variety of strategic paths: focusing on Trade, Combat, faction synergies, or Base destruction, providing endless replayability.


Whether you’re a veteran Star Realms commander or a new recruit in the galactic battlefield, this 10th Anniversary Edition delivers stunning visuals, strategic depth, and the ultimate deck-building experience.

Mind Games is Australia’s favourite destination for games, toys, and collectibles – make this anniversary edition part of your collection today.
