Roll the dice and move your pieces. If you enjoy boardgames, we've got them . . . some hobby classics, and some fun new ones too!
Car Wars is the classic game of highway combat, first released in 1980, and winner of many awards. The Fifth Edition (!!) came out in 2002. Play a two-player duel or a multi-car free-for all . . . where the right of way goes to the biggest guns.
Ogre and its sequel, G.E.V., are tactical ground combat games set in the late 21st century. In 2085 A.D., armored warfare is faster and deadlier than ever. Hovercraft, tanks and infantry slug it out with tactical nukes. But the most feared weapon of all needs no human guidance. It's the giant cybernetic tank called the Ogre.
In Tribes, the players are cave men and women. They hunt and gather food, make their tribal laws, and deal with natural disasters. But the object of the game is simple: Look after the children! The way to win is to have the most kids, and do whatever you have to do to make sure they survive. The players must know when to cooperate, and when to cut their losses and protect their own families.
Illuminati is the Game Of Conspiracy. Secret conspiracies are everywhere, and now you can take control of one of them and try to . . . yes . . . take over the world! This game has been one of our most popular since its 1982 release (it won the Game Designers' Guild Select Award and the Origins Award for Best Science Fiction Boardgame, which is a good trick since it's more of a card game, but the Illuminati work in mysterious ways).

In GreedQuest, three to six players race to the bottom level of the dungeon to grab The Hoard. Now all you have to do is get out of the dungeon with it . . . and everyone else is between you and the exit!
This is a fast, unpredictable game, easy to learn and fun for all ages, with lots of quick replay value. And it's illustrated by Phil Foglio!
Kill the monster, grab the treasure, stab your buddy. That's what it's all about. Now, Munchkin comes to the boardgame.
Cooperate with the group or strike out on your own. Battle monsters for power and treasure. Reach Level 10, and then get out alive if you can!
Strange Synergy is built around 100 different Power Cards . . . superpowers, mutations, skills, gadgets. Each warrior starts with three different powers. You choose the combination! Can you create the unbeatable team? Can you win against superior powers? This game is as much fun to watch as it is to play. No two games are the same!
Hacker is the Computer Crime Card Game. It was inspired by the 1990 Secret Service raid on SJ Games. Players compete to infiltrate and take over various systems on the Net. This one won the Origins Award for Best Modern-Day Boardgame of 1992. (Again, even though it's a card game. Go figure.)

The following games are out of print . . . that is, we are completely out, and have no current plans to reprint them. The best way to find a copy of an out-of-print game is to check eBay or contact a dealer in out-of-print games.
Frag is a computer game without a computer. It's a "first-person shooter" on a tabletop; up to six can play. Move your fighter and frag your foes; draw cards for weapons, armor, and gadgets; move through the blood spatters to restore your own health! If you die, you respawn and come back shooting!
Fans of Pinnacle's Deadlands game will enjoy Frag Deadlands . . . a stand-alone game that uses the Frag rules for
Old West steampunk shootouts.
The Awful Green Things From Outer Space is a wacky two-player game. One player controls the crew of an exploration ship . . . the other becomes the hungry, multiplying Green Things. The crew, frantically tries weapon after weapon (pool sticks, fire extinguishers, cans of Zgwortz) in hope of finding something that kills the monsters.

Dork Tower is a fantasy game set in the world of John Kovalic's award-winning gamer comic. Or, rather, in the fantasy world where Kovalic's characters roleplay. You can take the parts of Matt, Igor, Gilly, and their friends as they quest to (of course!) defeat the evil wizard. This fast, fun game has the most beautiful components that we.ve ever released, complete with sparkly dice and a central 3-D tower that turns to tell you whether it's night or day.
X-Bugs is quick and fun . . . it's been called "tiddlywinks on crack." Yes, really. It combines luck, strategy, and skill . . . Your armies are microscopic mutated monsters, each represented by a plastic chip. Flip the chips to attack! Each bug has a special power . . . each army has a different strategy! Eat the enemy's bugs, destroy his bases, and win!
Snits! is two great Tom Wham games in one box. You get both the two-player Snits Revenge, in which the tiny Snits invade the body of the monstrous Bolotomus to destroy him from within, and the multi-player Snit Smashing, in which we see how the Snits got so upset at the Bolotomus in the first place. Fast, wacky, and fun, as only Tom Wham can do them!
