Hot Sauce Poker is a push-your-luck, bluffing card game where you make spicy decisions! How well can you read your family and friends? Can you outbid them? There's only one way to find out!

Hot Sauce Poker takes place over a series of rounds where players compete in the Hot Sauce Challenge. The first player to gain two victories is the winner.

In each round players start with five sauce cards from which they choose one to keep and pass the rest to the player on their left and repeat this process five times. Then each player chooses three cards they wish to use and places them face down in front of them (the two cards remaining in their hand will be used for their special abilities later). Players in turn state higher and higher challenges (how much heat they can consume) or pass. The player with the highest challenge then has to turn over five face-down cards belonging to any players. If the total heat level of these cards matches or exceeds their challenge value, they take a victory card, otherwise they failed and gain a penalty card.

Luddite is a roll and write style game with a fully integrated graphic novel. In Luddite, one to an unlimited number of players will progress along the story of the novel whilst competing to destroy ever more complex automata. Creating a full campaign style game.

As a Luddite you will be hacking into the neural networks of the NED automata. These bionic, dog-like creatures are capable of performing almost any complex task to which they are assigned and, as such, have begun to replace vast swathes of the human population. As a Luddite, you will work to destroy these infernal machines.

During each game, players will roll three communal dice then use these dice to interact with the various modules of the NED. They will move their Neetle nanobot through the systems of the NED, opening and closing logic gates to enter and destroy key systems of the NED robot. All the while, collecting valuable resources to help them along their way.

Each round players must add one of the dice to the clock module, the higher the die added, the more damage done to the NED but also the less time the player has inside its systems, creating a push-your-luck style tension to each decision.

If players do not get their Neetle nanobot to the exit node of the NED before the clock runs out, their hack will be a failure.

The integrated graphic novel comes with hundreds of complex images from artist Adam Beachey all from within the vast Solar 175 universe.

1. The Draw Phase: Draw six cards from your deck, then pass them to another player. They take these cards, discard one of their choice, then separate the remaining five cards into two piles, one containing two cards and one containing three. You do the same for another player, then take your two piles, discarding one of them and playing the other.
2. The Collect Phase: Collect items and bonuses indicated on the cards in your hand. You may also pay time tokens to perform extra actions in the next phase.
3. The Action Phase: Simultaneously take actions based on your cards in hand and those that you chose in the collect phase. Disputes caused by the simultaneous nature of these actions are resolved using the influence track, where the player at the top of the track chooses the outcome; choosing in your own interest, however, drops you to the bottom of the track.
