[now (since 2007) got to specific customer order]
A bluffing game, in which everyone tries to con the other players into believing their false answers to the questions read out from the cards upon the subjects of Words, People, Initials, Films, & Laws; the made-up answers are shuffled together with the correct one, and read out, with players whose fabrications are chosen scoring a move on the board.
Learning to balance unlikelinesses in your misleading meanings with the thought that the most likely-sounding ones're most often untrue is essential - as is keeping a straight face whilst you give your own answers!

- Geist: the Sin-Eaters - NEW World of Darkness/Storyteller RPG in 16th August 2009 hardcover ukL 26.99
"Geist" uses the World of Darkness RPG system as the core of the system, but stories (adventures, campaigns) need not be set in the World of Darkness, nor in conjunction with character types from any or all of the associated games
in it players each run two characters, more or less; the first, someone who has very narrowly survived a perilously near-death experience, during which they became indissolubly bound to a spirit in some way "nearby", of someone who has died with an overpowering urge to remain in the world of the living until they've one way or another managed to see some burning need fulfilled; some similarity in personalities or shared driving urges has drawn them together, and these psychic twins now share their mortal partners' conscious thoughts...
- the second, ghost character played in these pairings is not necessarily completely sympathetic to, or even particularly in harmony with them.
[but i'd advise storytellers/gms to arrange for players of any given human character to not play their own "spirit partner", but rather that of another player's living character in the set-up, else players'll be likely to favour the aims and ambitions of one above the other's interests, no matter how carefully they try to avoid this - yr. hmbl. srppnt.]

- Axis & Allies New Revised Edition in 26th April 2006 ukL 34.99
Classic land, sea & air strategy boardgame of WWII, starting in spring 1942, when the Axis powers were at the high-point in their bid to dominate the world. This new edition adds Artillery & Destroyers to play, upon a re-designed map.
Designed by Larry Harris for 2-5 players from age 12-96; not officially graded, but I'd say "challenging"; this, A&A: E and A&A: P each contain over three hundred pieces, chips, etc, and provide hours of play, teach strategic thought, and can spark or further fuel an abiding interest in history. Victory is not simply won by defeating enemy pieces with your own & your ally's/allies', but also by taking - and keeping - control of territory, with which to produce more - and deciding what to produce, and how to make best use of it.
Contains 12 moulded plastic Industrial Complex, 12 Anti-Aircraft Gun, 13 Aircraft Carrier, 14 Battleship, 16 Bomber, 26 Destroyer, 29 Transport, 33 Submarine, 40 Artillery, 50 Tank, 50 Fighter, & 75 Infantry Pieces, 8 Information & 10 Marshalling Cards, 85 Plastic Chips, 90 Industrial Production Certificates, 125 Control, Marshalling & Aircraft Markers, The 20" x 33" (c. 50 x 84 cm) revised design Game Board, 12 d6 dice and the Rulebook
- A&A: the Battle of the Bulge New Game in 22nd November 2006 ukL 34.99
After the successful D-Day invasion of Normandy, the Wehrmacht was either on the defensive or in rout - with one spectacular exception; the Ardennes winter offensive of 1944, in which an entire army - built up without any apparent realisation or appreciation of its significance by Allied intelligence - was thrown at a quiet sector of the front only weakly defended by merkin troops being "rested" there.
With the good fortune of atrocious weather conditions, the Allies air superiority was useless - and the Wehrmacht swept aside the light defences, driving deep into liberated Europe, and heading for Allied fuel dumps and the Channel Ports.
in this trouser-leg of time the offensive was contained, by a combination of fierce resistence by merkin troops in the area reorganising themselves into adhoc units, British troops driving down from the north, merkin troops from the south, and the eventual breaking of the weather allowing the Allied Air Force to interdict movement by the German Armour: But in your replaying of this famous campaign, it will take a combination of a clear-sighted strategy, successful tactics and flexibility, as well as a little luck, to achieve your army's aim, and prove the victor

- A&A: D-Day Re-stock in 29th November 2006 ukL 34.99
Re-fight the desperate struggle to secure the five bridgeheads on the coast of Normandy, and to develop these into a defensible - and suppliable - foothold from which to liberate Occupied Europe, by capturing the cities of Saint Lo, Cherbourg and Caen; or, equally desperately, to throw back the invading Allied Armies from the beaches into the sea or, failing this, to frustrate their attempts to take the port of Cherbourg, and to so delay their advances & attempts to take Saint Lo & Caen, as to allow your Panzers & Infantry reinforcements to force them back upon themselves, destroying their effectiveness as fighting units, and forcing their evacuation or demeaning surrender, and so protecting the Reich.
