You just discovered the map to the most famous lost treasure of all time! But are you brave enough and clever enough to unlock its secrets?

Once every century, the dragons of Underwing return to their ancient brooding grounds for a Great Hatching. Whelps, drakes, wyverns, and wyrms alike dart through the air as the world's most daring tamers try their hands at capturing and training these wondrous, winged beasts.
Armed with an array of colored Elements, players hatch a horde of dragons by strategically placing gemstones within nesting sites. Of course, different eggs thrive in the presence of different elements, so would-be tamers must optimize the use of their dragon handler underlings to stake claim, add gemstones, and fetch more resources. At the end of the Great Hatching, the tamer with the most Dragon Points is proclaimed Underwing's next great Dragonlord.
Do you have what it takes to become a champion, or are you doomed to become dragon flambé? Join the egg-hatching fray to find out!

An as-yet-unpublished game by second-generation game designer Griffin Lauretta! Each player controls a village where they can build houses, farms, ships, and walls. Their meeples defend the village from rampaging monsters which spawn regularly from interdimensional portals. Battles are resolved with dice rolls. Each monster has varying strength represented by the die they roll (d8, d10, d12, d20). Meeples fight with d4 but can upgrade one die at a time by spending resources. The player who captures the most monsters wins the game.

Dante Lauretta, game designer and principle investigator of NASA's OSIRIS REx space exploration mission, teaches you to play Constellations. In this game, players are stargazers, exploring the night sky and collecting stars to define constellations. They compete to find the right stars to fit the needed pattern -- are B-type stars or F-types required to complete the constellation? Players compete with each other to strategically collect the right stars, reserve patches of the sky for observation, and explore the universe. Once you have your constellation, add it to the map of the night sky being assembled right in front of you. The closer you get to putting together the actual map of the heavens, the more points you score!
