The Clock Strikes Midnight is a puzzle game for 1-2 players. Swap and rotate cards to get the hours in the correct place on the clock.

Use magical items, such as pumpkins and glass slippers to create combos to help fix the clock before time runs out!

You know the story, Cinderella goes to the ball and has to be home before the last stroke of midnight. Now, it is really easy to get swept up in the commotion of the ball and lose track of time. Can’t have that now, can we? Thanks to modern technology, Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother provided her with a watch to keep track of time. Only one problem, it’s broken! All the numbers are in the wrong places. Cinderella needs to fix the watch by getting the numbers into the correct place on the clock face, in order to ensure she heads home in time.

Alice's Unbirthday Party

Print and Play and Tabletop Simulator Version Available.

Alice’s Unbirthday Party is an 18 card, two-player, worker placement game. In Alice’s Unbirthday Party, play as the Mad Hatter for either the Red Card Guard team or the Black Card Guard Team. The goal of the game is to be the first player to get Alice to come to their Unbirthday Party. To get Alice to come the party, players must have the right gifts (resources) to entice her to join their party over their opponent’s party.

Party guests will bring the required gifts, but are also picky themselves. In order to invite a guest to your party, some guests require the you to have their favorite teas, while others require a gift too. It’s an unbirthday party after all, so lots of partiers will be getting gifts throughout the game!

Players will use their worker cards to take actions such as collecting resources, inviting guests, and crashing their opponent’s party to steal their resources or guests.

Be the first to get the guests with the right gifts to your party and you can collect Alice. Collect Alice and win the game!

Tiny Tipsy Towers is a two player game focused on dexterity. Players have two minutes to build the tallest tower, while following set a 5 rules that change every round.

Players stack blocks to form a tower following written rules or pattern rules as fast as they can.

Pack the Essentials

Undergoing updates. Play first version on Tabletopia.

Pack the Essentials is a family-style, abstract strategy game about packing cats in suitcases.

Throughout the game, players work to score as many points as possible can by packing item and cat tiles in the suitcase, hiring Moovers (helpful cows who allow you to remove an opponents piece and replace it with your own), collecting Pack Rats (friendly creatures who help you pack more efficiently), and completing To Do List goals for bonus points.

The more essential items (aka cats) you pack, the more points you score. The game ends when all players can no longer make a move. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
