Cthulhu Gloom "Cthulhu Gloom takes the game play of Atlas' Gloom and puts a Lovecraftian spin on it. Each player controls a group of protagonists, and your goal is to make them as miserable and insane as possible – preferably with them dying quickly while your opponents' heroes remain sane and (at a minimum) alive. In the publisher's description: "While your characters Gibber With Ghouls and Learn Loathsome Lore to earn negative points, you'll encourage your opponents to be Analyzed by Alienists and to Just Forget About the Fungus to pile on positive points. When one group finally falls prey to the interdimensional doom that awaits us all, the player whose characters have suffered the most wins." -BoardGameGeek.com

Dead Man's Cabal "You've conquered death and mastered all nine dimensions of space-time. Reality bends to your every whim and desire. You are the absolute best there ever has been, a necromancer at the top of their game. The only downside is that no one likes you on account of the creeping around with dead bodies and the lack of sunlight. But who needs friends when you can make them? Dead Man's Cabal is a mid-weight strategy game from Daniel Newman, with game development from Jonathan Gilmour (Dead of Winter, Dinosaur Island). In the game, 2-4 players compete to bring the dead back to life so that they can throw a party with actual, you know, guests." -BoardGameGeek.com

Silicon Valley Startups "In the party game Silicon Valley Startups, you receive an absurd startup company by luck of the draw, then need to get creative to secure funding. To get your company, draw a company name card that gives you guidelines to follow when creating that name, then draw a target user card and an industry card. Create a product in that industry for that user that would be created by your company, then start pitching the investor to secure backing over other business dreamer wannabes. Watch out, though, because to reflect the reality of high-pressure situations in venture capitalist pitches, the investor might pull a "Hot Trend" card, forcing players to pivot and explain how drones factor into their business plan..." -BoardGameGeek.com
