Consiglio is a fast-paced card game of subtle influence, calculated risks, and shifting loyalties set in a fictional Renaissance city inspired by Venice at its peak. Players assume the roles of ambitious nobles, guildmasters, and social climbers vying for power within the Grand Council, the Consiglio. In this world of masked intentions and whispered deals, only the most cunning can rise to the top.

Gameplay centres around playing cards in ascending order, with the option to bluff by playing a card face-down and declaring its rank. Players may challenge each other's claims, but doing so comes with risk: expose a liar and they must pick up the stack, but if you wrongly accuse, the penalty is yours. Matching the previously played number unlocks powerful special effects, such as stealing cards, skipping rivals, or manipulating the hand of fate.

The goal is simple: be the first player to play all your cards and emerge as the dominant force in the council chambers. With no tokens, boards, or setup time, Consiglio offers sharp strategic play, social deduction, and elegant interaction in a compact format, perfect for game nights where politics and poise go hand in hand.

Cryptborn is a brutal, souls-like roll-and-write where you take on the role of a long-dead warrior, resurrected by a malevolent force to cleanse a cursed castle of its evils. Each decision is a battle for survival as you navigate the castle’s decaying halls, manage dwindling resources, and face relentless foes. With every roll, you must strategise your attacks, defend against monstrous threats, and uncover the dark secrets lurking within. But time is against you—fail, and you remain trapped in undeath forever. Succeed, and you may finally rest. Cryptborn is a game of risk, strategy, and inevitable doom—unless you can defy fate itself.
