Village Pillage: A Game Of Risk & Betrayal
In Village Pillage, you're racing your neighbours to acquire 3 relics and prove your right to rule. Each turn, everybody simultaneously plays cards against both their neighbours. It's rock-paper-scissors meets the prisoner's dilemma...with turnips!
If you think your opponents are planning to farm, raid them! If they're planning an attack, man the walls! And if they're putting up defenses: it's farming time.
Buy more powerful cards to improve your hand, and start building up your turnip collection! Once you have enough, you need to send your vulnerable merchant to buy a relic. And your neighbors know that. But you know they know that. But they KNOW you know they know that...
Highways & Byways Board Game
Highways & Byways is a casual family game for 2-4 players. Race across the United States in your first used car. You’re on a mission to explore all places beautiful and forgotten before your vacation is over!

Ponyfinder - From the Ashes
When the war between the fey races and the humanoids reached a fever pitch, it boiled over in the unleashing of the very power that gave Everglow its name. Disrupted and set free, The Blaze tore the world of both sides apart.
Fire, Ice, Lightning, Acid, and more worked to reduce the past age to a fading memory. Even the sky seemed burnt with the fury of it, and the Ashen Age began, or so those that survived to see it called it.
The old dividing lines faded away. What did it matter if those you lived with had two legs or four, so long as you knew them. Friends were beyond precious, and strangers were a constant source of danger. The world was dashed, but hope lived. People are putting themselves back together. This generation may have been born in the ash, but it will rise from the same.
It is time to marshal your skill, resources, and determination. It is time to rise From The Ashes.
This will be a setting book for 5th edition and Pathfinder.
Maze of Minos
Maze of Minos is a turn based strategy board game with two phases of play: Maze Construction Phase and the Maze Exploration Phase.
During maze construction each player will place tiles and walls, in turn, to challenge the other players during the second phase where the players will utilize the Powers of the gods through cards to navigate the maze, avoid Minotaurs and collect Victory Stars. The game is for two to six players.
Rebels of Ravenport - Upgraded
Rebels of Ravenport is a light card drafting game for 2 to 6 players. Take back your town from invading monsters, and recruit new rebels to join your guild.
The game is won by the first player to defeat The Overlord, or whoever has the most points when time runs out!
Maximum Apocalypse: Gothic Horrors Expansion
Gothic Horrors is our first deluxe expansion and adds two new apocalyptic scenarios, the Cthulhu Mythos and Classic Monsters.
Face off against life draining vampires, ghouls and werewolves in a classic monster set or try and stop a bunch of cultists from summoning Cthulhu or other unspeakable Lovecraftian horrors. Each apocalypse brings with it new gameplay mechanics such as the Insanity deck or the new night/day cycle.
This expansion also adds two new survivor classes, the Priest and Ronin. The Priest is a persistent believer in humanity who offers protection from unspeakable evils. The Ronin is a new close range combatant with dual purpose cards that change based on her combat stance.
GW are going to have field day when they find out about this.
Yeah. It’s a shame, as a lot of work has gone into the model.
This might be interesting :
Familliars of Terra :
Players are ‘seekers’ with their own unique familliar.
The rpg uses poker cards instead of dice. One of the stretch goals will unlock a custom deck.

It’s a shame as there’s a lot of talent in the sculpting and painting so why do such a blatant ip ripoff? Why not their own idea?
I know GW legal has gotten a little less heavy-handed, but this is just begging for it.
Or it a great way of getting new job…
I’m not sure if the industry looks kindly on people who rip off existing ip as obviously as that one though.
Audio soundtrack for ‘Vikings 878’ :

It will probably fit other games set in that same era (Saga ?) as well low magic fantasy games set in a similar region/time period …
