A Game of Thrones LCG:
Tourney for the Hand Chapter Pack
Tourney for the Hand has just released, kicking off the A Tale of Champions cycle of Chapter Packs for A Game of Thrones: LCG. While the cycle focuses on the unique personalities likely to attend tournaments and introduces two exciting new keywords, Joust and Melee, it also includes a number of solid new cards to build into new strategies or reinforce older ones.

King's Landing Cycle Reprint
In this series of reprints of the popular King's Landing expansion cycle for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, each Chapter Pack has been updated to the 60-card format (three copies each of 20 unique cards). This cycle features a feast of fan-favorite cards such as Tyrion Lannister, Condemned by the Council, Robert Baratheon, The Red Keep, Aegon's Legacy, and Rhaenys's Hill. Known for introducing the "Shadows" mechanic, King's Landing also includes "City" Plot cards in each of its Chapter Packs that build off each other - most of these City Plot cards become more powerful the more City Plot cards a player possesses...and the deeper into the city he goes.

Yu-Gi-Oh Gates of the Underworld
The Lost Sanctuary Structure Deck gave Duelists the forces of the heavens to command. Now, in this diabolical companion deck, Duelists can match them with the forces of perdition! First debuting in 2005, the Dark World monsters are the fearsome warlords and armies of the underworld, lurking on the edges of the tournament scene ever since. This Structure Deck gives Dark World monsters a major refit by bringing them up to modern Dueling standards. Reprinting most of the core Dark World cards from earlier sets and introducing five brand-new Dark World cards, each Structure Deck comes complete with 37 Common Cards, two Super Rare Cards, one Ultra Rare Card, a Rulebook, a Game Mat, and a Dueling Guide.

Designed for 1-5 players, this boardgame features multiple scenarios, challenging quests, and cooperative game play.

Harry Potter Hogwarts House Cup Challenge
Hogwarts House Cup Challenge allows 2-4 players to play as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville during their quest to win the House Cup for Gryffindor! Players move their characters around the board encountering Adventure Cards and increasing their Knowledge, Skill, and Honor.

Martian Dice
Your mission, Martians, is to swoop down on the pathetic denizens of the primitive planet Earth, and scoop up as many of the inhabitants as you can manage. The Earthlings might manage to put up a feeble defense, but surely nothing that a small taste of your Death Rays can't handle. Make Mars proud... be the first Martian to fill your abduction quota!
