Dungeon Pages: Underboss
Today we released our newest PNP Arcade original roll and write series, Dungeon Pages Underboss. If you were part of our recent Kickstarter campaign, you already know about it. But if not, there are three new products. The Dungeon Pages Underboss Core Set - 6 sheets that you can combine in a variety of ways. Dungeon Pages Underboss Yearlong Set - this is a total of 52 sheets, with a new one each week in 2026. Or if you just want a small taste of it, this week's sheet (Frozen Dragon in Havington) is available on its own.
It's about time someone taught those heroes a lesson. In Dungeon Pages: Underboss you take on the role of one of a boss monster that builds traps and deploys monsters to protect your domain. You'll even drop into the dungeon yourself to be sure the job is done right. But watch out—each gamesheet will feature a unique configuration of heroes. The heroes will try to break down your defenses and run off with your gold. If they do, you'll be defeated. But if you can eliminate the invaders you'll reign supreme and finally be declared the ultimate Underboss! Everything is combinable, so you can create custom variations of your favorite heroes, maps, and villains.
Glorple
You are a contestant in the annual Glorple Day Festival. The challenge: collect the most prized berries and prove yourself as the Festival Champion.
Race against your opponents in this party game where you thrive on luck, laughter, and lively competition. Should the dice be in your favor, you'll be harvesting berries that, luckily, will boost your odds when collecting a different type of berry. The more you gather, the bigger that boost. It is a race to get 10 stars on your berries, so keep a close eye on your opponents so you can hope to draw a timely Wild Card to mess up their plans. If you enjoy light-hearted games where the focus is on the fun you're creating as a table, then you should consider Glorple.
Crop Rotation
Slip into the roles of two hobby gardeners on a shared plot of land and cleverly exploit the benefits of efficient companion planting as well as crop rotation after your opponent’s season to grow your collection of seedlings into a luscious, verdant garden of delicious vegetables.
An interesting game of managing your crops well, you will either plant or cultivate the top two cards of your deck in order to score points as best you can. When you plant crops, they shift to the back of the deck but are offset to provide a bonus to use later to cultivate crops for scoring. However, the last card in your deck also provides a bonus symbol your opponent can use during their turns to maximize their own turns. If you enjoy head-to-head games that encourage some player interaction without it being aggressive interaction, you’ll want to harvest this game into your collection.
The Guildhunters
In The Guildhunters, you are the leader of a renowned guild in the kingdom of Mayrink. Monsters are terrorizing villages, and kings and merchants are willing to pay handsomely to see them eliminated. It's up to you to assemble the best team of hunters and send them on missions to take down the most valuable and profitable monsters. But beware: rival guilds are after the same targets, and in the end, only the most prestigious guild will prevail.
A strategic game of planning out the best timing to act, this card game will have you competing to defeat the right combination of monsters in order to score points. There are some nice restrictions, particularly about taking monster cards when there are multiple in the hunting area, which will provide some great decision points. With a hand limit, hitting 3, 4, and 5 of the same monster at one time to score them can be quite tricky, but also worthwhile since that's going to earn you a lot of points and there's a limit on the ability to capture just a single monster. Can you outduel your rival guild and win the hunt?
9-Card Rally Run: Challenging Roads Pack
This comes with two new packs: Narrow roads and Winding roads. Both of these will increase the difficulty of the game. Narrow roads provide challenge in having just one space that you must go through, limiting your options. Winding roads takes that same concept and levels it up, requiring a specific die value to be placed on certain space, which will make your game feel a bit tricky to navigate. If you already love 9-Card Rally Run, you won’t want to miss these expansions!
Battle Pages: Kingdom of Jendohan, Marching Order 1
Twin dragons arrive, but there’s a swordsman here to help... if he only had flying.
Battle Pages is back with the newest sheet, featuring 4 new elements. Twin Dragons (a boss that spawns twice!), Kharv (a hero swordsman that can attack an enemy multiple times in one turn. Dark Knights (enemies that are protected in mountains), and Rampart (a new unit that you can place to shield yourself from damage).
Power Creep: Scarab, City Center 2134
Just when things seemed to be leveling out, a new evolution threatens to throw things into chaos.
Scarab returns and is facing off against one of the most intimidating-sounding threats imaginable: the Hazard Cleaners. These delightful foes force you to mark radiation spaces – something you typically try to minimize during the gameplay. The leader, for example, cannot even be marked adjacent to until all radiation spaces in that structure are marked. The standard ones reduce any die adjacent to them by the number of unmarked radiation spaces. So if you want to finish these off, you need to tread through radiation. On the other hand, the standard ones could really help you keep your path numbers low…
Dangerous Space: Archivist Four, Quarantine Mission
When the Solar Church takes an interest in a junker, watch out. That usually means this ain't no average dive. Good thing Sunshine has psionic abilities!
We are back with the final Repair mission to wind down the 2025 series of Dangerous Space. This one has movement and attack reductions, depending on which room you are in and trying to repair the issues. Sunshine here has a pretty strong movement value to upgrade into, so the leaks are far less annoying than the holes will be. Of course, that means there’s a well-placed enemy or three directly in his path to those holes. Oh well, he’s certainly up to the task with his Risk Taker skill to boost dice when marking a Dangerous Space…

Button Shy Games of the Week: Squabblin Goblin Expansions x 4: MacGuffin, Shoot the Moon, Reset Button, & Goblin Lanes
Four excellent expansions for the game, each of which only has a few cards but they add big gameplay impacts. MacGuffin integrates items that will let you search the deck for a card to replace with one from your hand – and if you have them both at the end, you win. Shoot the Moon adds two cards that are weak alone, but if you have them both you’ll score a lot of points. Reset Button adds more chaos to an already chaotic gameplay, letting you shuffle piles back into the deck to undo the best-laid plans of your rival. And Goblin Lanes makes a big change, adding two new cards that don’t get shuffled in, but instead move back and forth based on where cards are played and offer scoring to whichever side it ends on.

Game of the Week: Squabblin Goblins on sale for just $2!
Goblins just can’t resist shiny things. These little schemers will stop at nothing to end up with the biggest hoard of treasure. From sharpened forks to secret bombs, everything goes with these greedy goblins!
If you like fast and furious games with two, where what you planned is unlikely to be how things actually unfold, then don’t miss this little game. Cards are played either face-up or face-down into one of the stacks on your side of the 2x3 grid of cards, and at the end you’ll score each of the face-down ones on your side…but effects may (and probably will) shift some of those cards around both during gameplay and at the end. So while that card you banked on might start where you wanted, it might end up giving your greedy opponent the victory instead. Chaotic fun in a small package, this one is bound to be a delightful addition to any collection.
