Western Legends

Western Legends is an American Wild West open-world sandbox tabletop adventure driven by multi purpose playing cards.
The game is for 2-6 players, in which players assume the role of historical figures including Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Doc Holiday and many more.
During the game, players will take a number of actions either following the path of law or that of an outlaw. The actions available include mining for gold, fighting bandits, visiting the store, robbing the bank, rustling cattle, and more.
Reef
(Now In Stock)
2017 felt like the year of the abstract game. So popular that titles such as Azul, Sagrada and Santorini were sold out world wide. Reef, the latest in these beautiful abstract games, is expected at our shores in August.
In Reef, each player starts by taking an empty reef board. On your turn you can do two things, either take a card from those available or play a card from your hand.
When you play a card simply resolve the top and then bottom section of the card. The top of the card tells you which coral pieces to take and place them on your reef board. They can be placed anywhere and even stacked. The bottom of the card indicates how you will score points. Scoring is done by matching the coral patterns on the card to those placed on your player board.
Reef is a 2-4 player game and plays in 30-40 minutes.
