First Things First
Thank you all for joining our email list.
When I approached Rob about this crazy idea I had for a game company, we were cautiously optimistic that we might have something somewhere down the road. We hoped there were enough of you out there who were as passionate about these old games as we are. But the response was immediate and overwhelming. Thousands of you made thousands of game suggestions. Clearly, we tapped into something. Please know: We appreciate the support you’ve already shown us, and we will do our best to pay it back with great games. In short: Thank you. So let's get down to business.
The first three games we are releasing are:

This is our restoration of 1981's Dragonmaster, now re-themed as a game of papal intrigue in the Italian Renaissance. This trick-taking game was known for using variable contracts—the new version has 20. Like its predecessor, Indulgence features quality cards and stellar artwork, with illustration by newcomer Chelsea Harper. It suits casual play while chatting with friends or more cutthroat sessions for people who take their tricks seriously. Indulgence is for 3 to 4 players, ages 14 and up, and takes 40-60 minutes to play.

In the 1980s, Wolfgang Kramer released a series of card-driven racing games, including Top Race. Years of play and multiple versions have honed the design to perfection. For Downforce, we culled through the many rules modules to create the most fun version possible. More importantly, the game will feature component quality befitting its pedigree. It is family friendly but offers deeper play for more strategic gamers as well. Downforce is for 2-6 players, ages 10 and up, and takes 20-40 minutes to play.

Stop Thief was designed by Dr. Robert Doyle in 1979. It featured an electronic device that let players track down an invisible suspect by the sounds they make while escaping. We are replacing the electronic device with a free companion app, which offers better sound quality and a more dynamic platform for different modes of play. Also with asymmetrical movement decks, variable suspect effects, and fresh art. This “audio deduction” game offers a unique experience for all kinds of players. Stop Thief is for 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up, and takes 30-60 minutes to play.
