Library of Jakkarth is a magical dungeon crawler labyrinth adventure for two to five players. You take on the role of Spellcasters who venture into the dark halls of the library and search the numerous rooms for rare spells and mysterious items. Your goal: find 5 magic keys of the same kind and be the first to use them to open the gate and win the game!
During your turn, you can perform up to 3 actions. The fundamental action is movement. Throw two dice and walk up up to as many fields as you rolled. When you reach the edge of a room, reveal the next room card and place it adjacent to yours. In each room you'll find bookshelves - when standing next to one, perform the loot action and draw up to two cards from the pile. You can loot not only the aforementioned keys, but also spells, instant spells and different magical relics.
Another basic action is casting spells: play one of your spell cards and perform its effect. There's a wide variety of spells. You can for example steal 2 cards from other players, teleport to a specific room, switch places with other game pieces or create fire in a room of your choosing. Other minor actions include equipping a relic card for a permanent buff or manipulating an obstacle in the nearby labyrinth.
But not only the other adventurers will use magic to obstruct your quest and try to win the game before you. The library itself is protected by something ancient - the guardians. Once their room cards are unveiled, they will focus and you and hunt you down. The more you discover the library, the more numerous and powerful they become. For each active guardian in the game, they gain an additional die for their walk actions. So, run away, use spells and obstacles to slow them down or shift their focus to your competitors.
The game ends when one of you manages to escape the library by opening the gate of knowledge with the five keys required. Or, the guardians catch all of you and trap you in the labyrinth for all eternity.

Black Rose Wars: Rebirth is a competitive fantasy game of deck-building, strategy, and combat set in the hectic universe of Nova Aetas in Italy. BRW:R is the second chapter in Black Rose Wars series.
25 years later, after the last war, mages are here in the Lodge, to re-establish order. Rooms are broken and now its time to rebuild them up. Black Rose is still there.
Each player is one of powerful mages of the Black Rose Order who aspires to become the new Supreme Magister in order to acquire the mighty power of the Black Rose Artifact and the Forgotten Magic. Mages must fight, fulfill Black Rose desires, and gain strength with their spells until their power reaches the containment threshold of the prison where they are exiled, finally freeing themselves. Each mage has at their disposal six schools of magic, each one with its own strategy to annihilate their opponents and increase their power.
Mages fight each other in a modular arena of hexagons called rooms. They summon powerful creatures, cast destructive spells, or devise dark deceptions with their enchantments.
The game system is divided into different phases. Each turn, after choosing new spells from the six schools of magic, players plan their strategy in advance, placing cards face down. Later, they reveal the played cards to kill each other, solve missions, summon creatures, or destroy the prison rooms, one against each other and against the Black Rose (the playing system).
After being killed, mages are reborn immediately, allowing them to re-enter the fight without delay — although their death still fed energy to those mages who caused it.
