Dice Rolling

Run Run Run! (2nd Edition)

While exploring a mysterious Egyptian pyramid, you discover a huge vault. There lie the Ancient Relics of Tutankhanine, the Cursed Pharaoh! Were the legends true?

Examining the symbols on the Pharaoh’s sarcophagus triggers a hidden mechanism. The ground shakes and heavy stone doors start to descend. You escape being sealed inside the vault by dashing further into the pyramid, but now you’re cut off from the exit. You’re trapped!

In the distance, you hear frightening growls, as if angry mummies are waking up to punish those who entered their tomb. It seems the legends are indeed true!

Your only way forward is the stone hallway leading off into the darkness.

Your objective is now clear:
Prevent the mummies from touching the Relics of the Pharaoh (they would gain immense power, threatening all mankind).
Activate the hidden mechanisms to wake the most powerful mummy in the pyramid, then defeat all the mummies to lift the curse once and for all!
You have 5 torches left - Run! Run! RUN!

Mutton Bustin

Experience the excitement and thrill of Mutton Bustin, a beloved rodeo event, from the comfort of your table!

In this fast-paced game, each player will take on the role of young cowboys and cowgirls as they compete to see who can stay on the back of a bucking sheep (played by everyone else) the longest.

Riders must quickly roll their dice to meet certain criteria to advance along the score track, earning more points the longer they can stay on. But be careful – all of the other sheep players are simultaneously rolling their own criteria to try and knock the rider off. But there’s a catch for the sheep...they will have to do a series of crazy antics before they can lock in their dice.

The rider with the most points is declared the winner and crowned the Mutton Bustin’ champion!

Animal Rescue Team

In this fully cooperative game, you'll work with a team of expert specialists to safely evacuate animals to shelters, before time runs out and a second team must arrive to save the day!

Animal Rescue Team is the first title in the "Shut Up & Sit Down Presents" game line.

The Sandcastles of Burgundy

Queen Crab is coming to visit Burgundy, and you want to decorate your village for her royal beach party. Find the right decorations and collect points. The animals of the royal guild will help you when you have finished decorating their shops - but can you find the animals before the others?

In The Sandcastles of Burgundy, you collect points by finding the right decorations, so can you remember under which sand castle the animals of the royal guild are hiding? Roll your two dice at the same time, then you can use them to either look for decorations in sand castles, putting them in your warehouse if you find one, or transport previously collected decorations to your village with your cart. If you have collected two decorations of one color, you can look for the matching animal of the royal guild.

As soon as a player reaches Queen Crab's beach party, the dice round ends. Whoever has collected the most points wins!

20 Strong

20 Strong is a new deck-based game system from Chip Theory Games, capable of being played in about 30 minutes or less. We say “game system” because the idea behind 20 Strong is a small nucleus of simple, adaptable rules that can then be applied to a variety of unique decks, each with their own set of mechanics. We are launching 20 Strong with three such decks – one set in the world of Too Many Bones, one set in Hoplomachus: Victorum, and one in the new universe of the space-faring Solar Sentinels. We have more decks in development and plan to release them regularly if our customers are excited by them. For now, 20 Strong is a solo-only game, but even that could differ in future decks using the ruleset.

The object of a game of 20 Strong is to progress through a shuffled deck of cards, each card bearing a unique challenge. This challenge could be in the form of an enemy, a unique scenario, or some other requirement (for example, players of the Too Many Bones deck might expect to see a Lockpicking challenge or two). Challenges usually require a certain number of successes to complete, which you earn by rolling a set of 17 dice with different odds for a hit (these dice, along with three adjustable stat dice, make up the “20” in 20 Strong).

If you roll enough successes, you complete a card’s challenge and gain its rewards. If you don’t, you take damage and move on to the next card – unless, of course, your HP stat is reduced to 0, costing you the game. If you manage to make it through an entire deck, you take on one of the deck’s final bosses, attempting to score enough hits against this powerful enemy to claim ultimate victory.

Of course, it’s never so easy that you’d want to spend all of your dice on a single card. In addition to your HP Stat, you’re also keeping track of your Strategy (which controls how many rerolls and items you have) and your Recovery, which controls how many dice return to your pool after taking on a challenge. If you roll more dice than your Recovery, those dice are exhausted, lowering your pool for your subsequent challenges. It’s a game of pressing your luck, strategic decision-making, and resource management. We think you’re going to love it!
