We are excited to announce we have another demo in the Gallery area! And a few additions to Clarion Games demo.
Unyielding Universe
2-4 players attempt to make long and beautiful lifelines. They achieve this by drawing "Year" cards and then placing them within their lifeline chronologically, either by adding them at the end or replacing them. All the while the Universe will try to make their lives more challenging and complex. "Universe" cards that add a scoring adjustment or a gameplay modifier will be drawn, or "Life Complete" cards will be drawn and wreak havoc on your lifeline, not allowing you to play cards past a certain age.
The goal is to score the most points at the end of the round. Scoring factors in the length of your lifeline as well as the quality of your lifeline.
Life is challenging and it is up to us to try and make the best of it, even if we must spite the Universe to do so.

Four Horsemen: the Omega Wars
In 2025, aliens make first contact with Earth. They've arrived hoping to find a rich new source of resources or advanced technological trading partners. After all, they've detected deep space probes and evidence of space travel. Needless to say they're disappointed
Now 100 years later, humanity has made a name for itself as tenacious and resourceful mercenaries. Unable to face most aliens hand to claw, they've developed powered combat armor known as CASPers, Combat Assault Systems Personal. These 8 foot tall, half ton combat suits have given humanity a serious edge, and the aliens are tired of it.
In a carefully coordinated plot, Earth has been invaded, and the human merc armies fled in order to survive. With Earth occupied, the Omega War is underway. The future of Earth, her few tiny colonies and all of our people's lives are at the stake. This is the Omega War
The Four Horsemen: Omega War is a tactical, strategic and operational competitive card game for two to four players set in the Four Horsemen literary universe created by Chris Kennedy and Mark Wandrey. It is a brutal struggle for power that rewards both careful planning and bold execution as you assume the role of a Commander for one of the various factions.
Restoration Games’ Return to Dark Tower
And just for fun, Clarion Games be bringing and running Restoration Games’ Return to Dark Tower too!
For an age, the tower lay in ruins. Unbeknownst to the people of the realm, a great evil stirred in its bowels. It started with strange sightings: a flock of crows flying in circles until they dropped from the sky, the lake frozen solid in the height of summer. In time, they could not deny that which they most feared.
The evil had not been vanquished. The darkness would soon fall again. The tower will rise.
A "sequel" to the 1981 grail game, Return to Dark Tower is a game for 1-4 players who take the role of heroes. Together, they gather resources, cleanse buildings, defeat monsters, and undertake quests to build up their strength and discern what foe ultimately awaits them. When the heroes face the tower, the game shifts into its dramatic second act, where the players have one chance to defeat the enemy once and for all.
The game features both cooperative and competitive modes of play.
The game features traditional game mechanisms, such as engine building and resource management, paired with a technological interface unlike any seen before in games, including the titular tower, which holds more than a few secrets.
