Hey there folks! Something huge is in the pipeline - or hyperspace lane. Based on forwards intelligence, it looks like the Star Wars Armada Executor-class star dreadnought will be arriving in-system before the end of the year.

Drop by our 244 swanston st store or send us a message on Facebook if you have any questions or want to pre-order your copy

Yamatai is a strategy game for 2-4 players, with modular board and rout building mechanics at its core. Players sail their ships, collect resources from nearby islands, claim territories on the archipelago, and employ specialists with unique abilities – all to build palaces and Torii for the glory of Yamatai’s new capital city, and for the beautiful Queen Himiko’s smile!
