Mage Knight 1.0

Ømen Tide
Skirmish wargame of zealotry and cosmic maritime horror. Three models per player on a 16×16 inch board, with a deck of poker cards in place of dice and an Omen Zone that rewrites which suit rules each round.
Relicblade
Indie tactics-RPG skirmish for two. 4 to 6 characters per side on a 2'×2' board, around 30 minutes a game, with party building by good/evil alignment rather than fixed factions.
