Enchanted Labyrinth (working title)

Players lay cards to build a Renaissance-style hedgerow maze one space at a time, aligning entrances and matching variable occupants of each space – people, animals, or structures. Wild card commands like “Skip” or “Play Again” shake things up from time to time. The first player to empty their hand wins. Easy to understand rules. Perfect for casual play for families, at a party, etc.

ULTRAMASSIVE

Far beyond the Milky Way Galaxy, in the uncharted depths of space, a black hole looms just outside a vibrant galactic cluster. This black hole is enormous, by all standards of the universe, and entirely ungovernable. But its daunting size and power is not unmatched. Other black holes tear through the expanse, fulfilling their one purpose: consume. Like this looming mass, their consumption leads to growth, and growth leads to power. As they expand, they will inevitably confront one another and adopt strategies for overtaking their unruly adversaries. Ultimately, one black hole will emerge as the most powerful, and more importantly, largest: the "king" of the universe. Or, as the infinitesimally small creatures on Earth call it, ULTRAMASSIVE.
