ThemeFantasyGloomhaven
As head of a Mercenary Company, it's your job to find the best recruits the city has to offer. Or at least the most promising ones. Are they breathing? Let's be honest, you'll take what you can get in the city of Gloomhaven. The job boards are full today and work goes quickly. It will take a keen eye to draft a team of freelancers capable of coordinating their powers, hustling after jobs, and procuring the most coin...for your coffers. Recruit, equip, deploy, and out-hire your competitors to become the most infamous Mercenary Company in Casskia. So get to it! The unemployment line is drying up... MERCENARIES WANTED. Draft diverse and thematic characters from across all Gloomhaven titles (Gloomhaven, Frosthaven, Jaws of the Lion) Compete against other Mercenary Companies on the local "jobs board" and outfit your individual mercenaries for bigger and better jobs ahead. Send the best of your roster to compete in end-game tournaments and bring home that bonus pay for an edge in end-game scoring.
Cephalofair Games
Remember that feeling in Risk where your ridiculously strong army should totally win against your opponent's force and then he just keeps rolling sixes? Or when you clearly have the best starting position in Catan and then 9s don't get rolled the entire game? Man, that is just the worst. The founder of Cephalofair, Isaac Childres, prefers to win or lose games based on his own merit, not the whims of luck. Then, when you win, you have something to feel proud about. And when you lose, you can pinpoint the decisions you made that led to that loss and learn from the experience. And that's the core behind all of our products. Cephalofair Games is on a quest to make super-amazing games that minimize randomness and reward player savvy .
