Undaunted: Stalingrad – Two-Player WWII Campaign Wargame Undaunted: Stalingrad is a two-player, card-driven wargame set in Stalingrad in 1942. One player leads German forces and the other leads Soviet forces in a branching campaign played over a series of linked scenarios. The game uses deck-building mechanics to represent units, command, and tactical options on a modular map of the city. Each scenario in the campaign affects the ones that follow. Casualties suffered in battle reduce the strength of a force for the rest of the campaign, and damage to locations changes the map in later games. Players make decisions about movement, combat, and objective control while managing their decks to balance risk and flexibility. Despite the persistent effects, the game can be fully reset and replayed to explore different paths and outcomes. Undaunted: Stalingrad is a standalone entry in the Undaunted series and significantly expands the scope of the system. It includes more than 300 unique ill...

 Eclipse: 2nd Dawn for the Galaxy – 4X Space Strategy Board Game Eclipse: 2nd Dawn for the Galaxy is a science fiction strategy board game in which players lead different civilisations competing for dominance in a modular galaxy. Combining exploration, technological development, resource management, and ship-to-ship combat, it sits firmly in the “4X” genre (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate) and is aimed at hobby gamers who enjoy longer, more involved sessions. Each player controls a faction with its own starting position and abilities, managing resources to research technologies, build structures, and assemble customisable starships. The modular hex-based map means each game can unfold differently, as new systems are discovered and contested. Combat is resolved using dice and ship upgrades, while diplomacy and timing can influence how and when conflicts occur on the board. Eclipse: 2nd Dawn for the Galaxy is a revised and streamlined edition of the original game, updating t...
