Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale
Queen Gimnax has ordered the reclamation of the northern lands. As a cartographer in her service, you are sent to map this territory, claiming it for the Kingdom of Nalos. Through official edicts, the queen announces which lands she prizes most, and you can increase your reputation by meeting her demands. But you are not alone in this wilderness. The Dragul contest your claims with their outposts, so you must draw your lines carefully to reduce their influence. Reclaim the greatest share of the queen’s desired lands and you will be declared the greatest cartographer in the kingdom.

In the roll-and-write game, Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale, you and your fellow players compete to earn the most reputation stars by the time four seasons have passed. Each season, you’ll draw on your map sheets and earn reputation by carrying out the queen's edicts before the season is over. The player with the most reputation stars at the end of winter wins!

Cartographers supports 1 to 100 players, ages 10 and up, with a playtime of 30 to 45 minutes. In stock now at Here Be Books & Games.

Infinity Gauntlet: A Love Letter Game - The Mad Titan Thanos seeks the Infinity Stones to bend the universe to his indomitable will, but courageous heroes are assembling to stand in his path to ultimate power. Based on the beloved Love Letter card game and set in the Marvel Universe, Infinity Gauntlet: A Love Letter Game features the elegant mechanics of the original, re-imagined in a one-vs-many twist for thrilling team play. While one player takes on the role of Thanos on a crusade to change the universe as we know it, one to five other players must deploy iconic heroes to defeat him before he can achieve his aims.

Throughout the game, players take turns drawing a card and playing a card, then executing its effect. Hero players can call upon the likes of Iron Man, Spider-man, Thor, and Scarlet Witch for their abilities to battle and gather intel about their opponent’s schemes. Worthy adversary, Thanos, plays with a two-card hand, drawing from his own deck of minions and powerful Infinity Stones.
The heroes will have to use their abilities in strategic combinations to knock his health down to zero before he can do the same to them or find all six Infinity Stones and win with a snap of his fingers. Who will prevail in this battle for the universe?

Infinity Gauntlet supports 2 to 6 players, ages 10 and up, and plays in about 15 minutes. In stock now at HBB&G.
