Azul Duel -- Play Head to Head!

The tile-laying favorite is back in a duel version! Players will have to show the king in a tile-laying duel, who is the best among the best artists of all Portugal! Experience the famous tile-drafting mechanics with a new stacking twist. Now with pattern plates to choose from, which allow to build the iconic player board for a unique layout each game. Azul Duel focuses on confrontation and provides the players with new choices that give a deeper Azul experience for a more tense gameplay.

MonsDRAWSity -- Perfect for your next game night!

One of our favorite drawing party games by local game designer Eric Slauson is back! There are monsters everywhere! Players must draw the monsters described by the witness who will choose the sketch that matches the monster the closest. One player, known as "the Witness," has twenty seconds to examine a picture of a bizarre-looking creature, then they must describe it to the rest of the players, known as "Sketch Artists." At the end of the round, the witness awards points to the artist who was able to most closely match the monster seen by the witness!

MonsDRAWSity: My Lil' Monsters -- For the whole family!

There is a new version as well! This is a smaller, faster, and easier version of MonsDRAWsity, perfect for up and coming junior agents! Enjoy the same great, monstrous gameplay with prompts and enhanced rules that make MonsDRAWSity: My Lil' Monsters perfect for your next family game night!

Through the Desert -- Reissue of a Reiner Knizia classic! 

In Through the Desert players each control a tribe of nomads vying for control of the desert. By establishing caravans and taking over oases, the players gain points as their tribes increase in power. Strategy is essential in deciding how and where to build your tribe's caravans. There are multiple ways to gain points and several ways to win. Should you try to build the longest caravan? Or should you dominate the desert's oases? Don't forget to keep an eye on your opponents' caravans, or you may find your own tribe cut off from valuable water holes. This was one of the games that helped to create the great and long-standing Labyrinth axiom that games are better with camels, and luckily, this reprint from AllPlay kept the fantastic camel figures!

In store, we also have a few copies of the new expansion for the game, Bazaar, which offers 4 modular expansions that tweak the original game rules.
