In Japanime Tactics, you can assemble a team of your favorite Granblue Fantasy characters like Gran and Lyria by combining their ability cards into a deck, then battle your opponent's team on a modular board of interlocking map tiles.

Each round, players use their cards to attack and defend with their characters. Any card can be used by any character to provide bonuses for matching colors and action types, but characters can perform powerful unique abilities by using their specific cards.

During a battle, each player has a unique objective such as rescuing a hostage or destroying supplies and must use their team to attack their opponents and interact with the terrain to score the most points before all players run out of cards.

Japanime Tactics: Granblue Fantasy – Gran Starter Set contains the characters Gran, Lyria, Rackam, and Noa, and it's playable on its own in a simplified 2v2 mode. By combining this set with other Japanime Tactics sets or boosters, you can play the full 4x4 game.

Welcome to the Big Apple, a city rotten to its core. A high-profile politician has just been murdered, and only the Worminators can solve the case. You’re one of the hotshot detectives that have earned the title of Worminator, and you’ve been ordered by the chief to investigate this murder. If the media frenzy around the case weren’t enough to throw you off your game, the mayor’s office seems to be blocking you at every turn. Rumors run rampant that this might be… an inside job.

Worminators: Inside Job is a game Born at PAX. What does “Born at PAX” mean? We at Lynnvander Studios teamed up with the PAX team to run a panel called Design a Board Game Live. Worminators: Inside Job was conceived by the crowd at PAX West 2022. They came up with the combination of buddy cop worms, and we refined their ideas into the board game you’re holding now!

In Worminators: Inside Job, each player is a worm detective assigned to the case. You will build your own deck of Detective cards as the game advances, using them to gather evidence and bring it to the courthouse. Will you be able to assemble the clues and solve the murder before the city becomes overrun with corruption or drowns in criminal activity? Get your badge and let’s find out.

Welcome to the high-paced world of turtle dating! Your goal is to run the most successful turtle dating company, helping to romance turtles and sweep them right out of their shells. But you’re not the only one vying for their attention; you might find yourself at odds with a rival company as you attempt to woo these reptiles. You better make sure you have just the right gifts to make the best impression. If that doesn’t work, you could always donate the gifts and write off the expenses. After all, it’s not just about the love; it’s also about the money.

Shell Company - Don’t Write Me Off is the first in a series of games Born at PAX®. What does “Born at PAX” mean? We at Lynnvander Studios teamed up with the PAX team to run a panel called Design a Board Game Live. Shell Company - Don’t Write Me Off was conceived by the crowd at PAX East 2022. They came up with the combination of turtle dating sim and tax evasion, and we refined their ideas into the board game you’re holding now!

Shell Company is an auction-style bidding game with a touch of bluffing where players will need to manage their finances in order to acquire gifts. These gifts can either be used to romance potential clients, or they can be donated and used as a tax write-off. Both of these things are important because players are scored based on their weaker area.

Snap Ships Tactics is a revolutionary miniatures battle game you play with modular, fully customizable ship models.

In the future, humanity is under constant attack from a brutal alien hive mind known as The Komplex. Facing them are the pilots of the Forge: commanders of spacecraft known as Snap Ships. Fast attack craft, interceptors, armored bombers, dropships, and support craft - Snap Ships are constructed from modular components allowing ships to be outfitted on-the-fly for the specific mission at hand.

In Snap Ships Tactics, each player builds a custom miniature ship (or a squadron of them) and commands them in intense tactical combat over a series of rounds. Ships are completely modular and built from a library of hundreds of unique plastic components. Ships maneuver across a freeform battlefield, as players allocate power to their ship's unique systems to move, evade, and fire many different weapons. They can take advantage of battlefield hazards and terrain to gain the upper hand and seek to destroy the ships in their opponent’s squadron.

Game Features:

BUILD a ship from scratch and equip it to fit your play style
DETAILED miniatures using the quick-to-build yet high fidelity Snap Ships system
BATTLE across a configurable play space using an innovative movement system
HUNDREDS of components to choose from across multiple ship and unit sizes
VS, CO-OP and SOLO modes with a card driven AI system that lets you dogfight against the game

Snap Ships Tactics: because the best ship is the one you create!

Shadowrun: Sprawl Ops is a competitive game for 2 to 4 players that can be played in 60 to 90 minutes. In this cyber-punk worker-placement game, each player controls a team of Shadow Runners that they can send on missions, loan to other players (for a fee, of course), and upgrade with new tech and equipment. Missions are resolved by rolling combinations of custom dice. A diverse team of Shadow Runners gives you access to more combinations of dice, and your upgrades add even more dice to your pool. Take on smaller missions to earn creds. Then, put those right back into more experienced runners, and better gear. Once you think you've got what it takes, send your runners out to attempt to collect one final score. If you fail, don't worry, your doc-wagon contracts will keep your runners in the game. The first player to successfully complete the final mission, and collect that last big score wins the game!

From the publisher:

In this strategic, dice-rolling skirmish game, you help either Peter Pan and his allies or Captain Hook and his crew to assault their rivals on Hook's pirate ship or in the lost boys' camp respectively. At the start of the game, you'll choose which faction to play as and then set up the appropriate location to attack. Whether you're playing as Peter and his allies or Hook and his crew, you'll then assault your foes' base of operations, drawing cards to search every nook and cranny for lost boys, fairies, and pirate treasure, while positioning yourselves around the board to bypass or fight off your enemies. Combat and actions are resolved through a dice system that determines what you can accomplish each turn. As the Peter and his allies, the game is won when you rescue all of the lost boys aboard Hook's ship. As Captain Hook and his crew, the game is won when you capture all of the lost boys hiding in their camp. In either case, the game is lost when your foes defeat enough of your characters!
