The Goblin King is dead and the Crooked Crown is up for grabs! As custom dictates in the forest goblin tribe of Snark, any goblin treacherous enough to seize power for themselves will be crowned the Goblin King.
But the Crooked Crown has disappeared, suspicions are at boiling point and every goblin wants to find and steal the precious object. Power, glory and wealth awaits the new Goblin King!

Players maintain a hand of cards for 8 rounds of play. One of them is hiding the Crooked Crown within their hand. Players can spy on each others' hands, boost their own hand, weaken other players' and steal from each other. Whomever holds the Crooked Crown at end of the final round wins the games.

Shadow Ninjas is a hidden movement game of one versus many for 2 to 5 players. All the Ninja players are allowed to move any of the shadow tokens, some of which hide the Ninjas of individual players. This means players can accidentally - or not so accidentally - move other players’ tokens into danger or away from victory. To be a Ninja player you will need a good poker face and an ability to bluff so that no one can guess which shadow hides your Ninja. To be a Guard player you must be prepared to be outnumbered, but not overwhelmed, by all of the shadows that need to be investigated to protect the Shogun’s prized koi carp.

R'lyeh is a terrible and ancient city, risen from the depths of the Pacific by a great curse. There, Cthulhu lies both dead and dreaming, waiting to consume any who venture near.

In Lost in R'lyeh, players are trapped in H.P. Lovecraft's short story, "The Call of Cthulhu". From the mysterious discovery of a profane idol, to dreams of a dark cult, to landfall in a cyclopean metropolis and Cthulhu's horrific emergence, no player can truly win...although the last player to escape will be the ultimate loser for that player will be forever lost in R'lyeh!

In terms of the gameplay, each turn choose to play either event cards and horror cards. Play the largest card sets you can to unlock ever-mightier powers. When the time is right, transition from playing cards from your hand to eliminating your array of escape cards. What's more, decide each turn whether picking up the whole stack will help you win, even though you're ultimately trying to get rid of cards.
