Designed by Flavien Dauphin and Benoit Turpin with artwork by Vincent Dutrait, “Umbrella” accommodates 1-4 players aged 8 and up and has a playtime of 30 minutes. The game involves arranging colorful umbrellas on a 4×4 grid to match patterns and score points. It features a solo mode that does not require an AI opponent, providing a puzzle-like experience for individual and group play.

“Infiltraitors,” created by John and Liam Kean with artwork by Man-Tsun, is designed for 2-5 players and lasts 20-30 minutes. The game is a cooperative deduction experience where players work together to identify traitors in their midst. It includes 20 missions with varying levels of difficulty and employs clue boards and dry erase markers for tracking information, aiming for high replayability and engaging team dynamics.

Don’t Skip Leg Day: Fitness-Themed Card Game

“Don’t Skip Leg Day,” by designer Alex Cutler with artwork by Joshua Leonard, is a quick, fitness-themed card game for 3-6 players with a 15-minute duration. It uses a pick-and-pass mechanic and is packaged in a shaker bottle. Players select exercise cards over two rounds to build their bodybuilder persona, balancing strategy and humor.
