Stonk Market
3-6 Players - 20 min - Age: 9+

Will you be left with the most valuable stocks after a chaotic day of exchanges? Stonk Market is a real-time trading game where you YOLO into company stocks like Blammo or Chatterfly. At the same time, watch out for the ever-shifting Stonk Exchange, which will dictate the stock that’s worth negative points at the end!
Will the Glitch & Co stock take you to the moon or will you FOMO into a negative company? This game for wrinkly brains only!
Jibber Jabble
3-10 Players - 15 min - Age: 8+
Jibber Jabble is a cooperative, word-association party game. Spell letter-by-letter with your teammates without discussing the clue!
Your goal each round is to convey a secret word to the round's guesser. You and your team gets to spell three words in order to do that.
Players spells one letter each. The catch? They aren't allowed to discuss what clue they're trying to spell. The first time you have a perfect clue in mind, but the person next to you says a letter you weren't expecting at all... well, that's Jibber Jabble.
Phantom Ink
2-10 Players - 20 min - Age: 11+
In Phantom Ink, your team stops the clue giver when they think they know the answer, so that the other team doesn't get too much information.
Play as rival groups of Mediums holding a séance to most quickly decipher a mysterious message from the Spirits beyond. Each team of Mediums takes turns asking their Spirit Questions about the secret message. The Spirits answer their question one letter a time until strategically stopped by one of their teammates. The other team sees the opposing team Spirit's answers, but not the questions! The game ends when a team has successfully deduced the Spirits' secret message.
Can you use the other team's half-finished answers to discover the answer?
Enchanted Ivy
1 Player - 15 min - Age: 10+
Expand your inn, place guests based on their preferences, and connect the magical ivy to have the perfect stay!
Many of you already know the joys of solitaire. If solo isn't your thing... you may want to revisit that opinion with Enchanted Ivy. Take on the role of Ivy, the courageous new owner of a magical inn. Build your bewitching B&B to best suit your eccentric guests while cultivating the ivy covering your walls.
In Story Mode, earn rewards for meeting point goals and completing unique challenges.
Mountain Goats Legacy
2-5 Players - 25 mins (per session) - Age: 7+
Roll and combine dice to race up the mountain. Get to the top to score, but don't get knocked off!
As your story progresses, you'll unlock special ability and face tougher challenges. The mountain itself might even transform beneath your hooves.
Mountain Goats: Legacy combines dice rolling/combining and events into a longer version of Mountain Goats. But, after the first session, more and more hazards and gameplay tweaks show up. The dice now have a goat symbol - when rolled, you’ll get to use one of the unlocked player powers. These can change with every session! There’s also a new system called “Courage” that greatly affects your ability to mitigate luck and refine your dice rolls.
This game can be played as either a single session or a legacy game. As a legacy game, it is fully replayable and resettable. You will not be asked to destroy or modify components. The first session can also be combined with the original Mountain Goats game.
