And so he has decided to wreak his revenge upon the Globe by manufacturing a very unsatisfying brand of saltwater taffy. You must stop him. Even though you are aware that his plan has almost no chance of success. By luring innocent squirrels into the factory and using them to gum up your own works, you hope to stop Devil Bunny's plan from coming to its unlikely end. It is a desperate plan, but it seems appropriate given the circumstances.

You and your friends are living pleasant and complete lives in Happyville. You are highly trained and well-paid sous-chefs, who have decided to climb to the top of a tall building, as fast as you can. Devil Bunny Needs a Ham. And he's pretty sure that knocking you off the building will help him get one. Perhaps he is right. Perhaps he is not.

Welcome to the Chocolate Factory. You and your friends are hardworking candymen, struggling to bring joy and prosperity to your benefactor, the world's most beloved chocolatier.

But secretly, you yearn to break free of his influence, create your own magical world of chocolate, and ultimately destroy him. Such is the life of the Enemy Chocolatier.

Enemy Chocolatier is a full-color board game in a black and white envelope, with deliciously candylike boards and eight cards you have to cut apart yourself.

It was fabulous! Fearlessly, you found the 3 fetishes in the Finnish fjord. With light-footed and foxy feints you ferry the fetishes to prince Fieso in France to free the fascinating faerie Fabula. But Fieso is not fond of foreigners, what a fiasco! You land freezing and foolishly find yourself trapped in a frightful fortress with sinister corridors. Now you must flee Fiesos trap. Furunkulus, the monster, is a frightening freak, especially fond of foolish foreigners. He will feed on you if he is able. So you want to fool Furunkulus and flee to freedom.

Once again, our unfortunate friends find themselves foreigners trapped within the frightful Fortress Furor of the fanged Prince Fieso who would, with felicity, see them flounder and faint. These fine fighters could feasibly face their finish in this forbidding fortification, whose fearsome floors even now flow frighteningly from beneath their feet as the famished Furunkulus forages the fringes, fixing to feast on the foreigners’ flesh. Forthwith, must our fighters fashion their flight from this foulest of fates! But what’s this? By the light of their fallow and flickering flares, our friends find the depths fraught with the most furious of fiends and the fiercest of freaks! With fleet feet, the fearless foreigners follow these ferocious fellows through the fortress, with its multifarious footpaths and their frustrating forks, forging fervently forward toward freedom and fame. Our fighters must not falter from whatever feud or fracas would foil their function: to finally furnish the forlorn Faerie Fabula her freedom from feckless Fieso’s fists!

Freeloader is a game celebrating the glorious pastime of living off other people's success. Players spend the game roaming the neighborhood, doing favors for their "friends" in exchange for great loaner stuff like the Doctor's Car, the Artist's clothes, or the Waitress' leftover food. To win the game you have to collect Food, Clothing, and Shelter before the deck runs out. It's all worth points, and whoever has the most points wins.

Something's wrong. It's a rainy day in Seattle, you're bored, and you live in your mom's basement. But that's normal. Your mom's been harping on you to get a job. That's normal too. No, what's really wrong is that you're about to give up this perfect gig and actually try to get a life.

Your friends get wind of your harebrained idea and decide to race you. Not because they particularly want to get lives, but just to prove that they can do it faster than you can.

Your objective? Get a job. Get an apartment. Survive the trials of life-on-your-own. Your pitfalls? You've got no taste, a crappy car, and aspirations of being a success without lifting a finger. And sometimes your loser genes get the better of you.

Giant Monster Rampage II: World War, brings even more mayhem to the table top. Adding on to the wildly popular Giant Monster Rampage rules you will find tons of new Monster Kingdoms, new Powers, and lots of new rules for the military and combat. If you enjoyed Giant Monster Rampage you will find this book a must have!

Kablamo is a fast-spinning tactical board game of Russian roulette. The players, taking the roles of despondent Russian aristocrats after the Russian revolution, each start the game by filling an individual board game revolver with bullet tiles. Thereafter they simultaneously fire the bullets, chamber by chamber, from all revolvers and resolve them in order of initiative. Some bullets eliminate players from the game, but most of them allow players to manipulate the game in various ways such as moving bullets around between different revolvers. Once a bullet has been placed in a revolver, no one may look at it again, making Kablamo a game for players with good memory and improvisation skills. This also forces players to keep track of all the live bullets in the game since they constantly trade places in the game. In the end, the player who manages to dodge all live bullets and outwit every opponent will be victorious.

The Family Board Game of Murder in the Dark

Welcome to the J. Robert Lucky mansion, a sprawling country estate just ten miles north of nowhere. It's a fine country home, chock full of unusual weapons, good hiding places, and craven killers. Killers like you.

The object? Kill Doctor Lucky. The obstacles? For one thing, all of your friends would rather do it first. For another, Doctor Lucky is aptly named. He's got an uncanny knack for dodging your best traps. But his luck runs out tonight. Before the night is over, someone is going to kill Doctor Lucky. Wouldn't you rather it was you?

For over ten years, you’ve tried to kill that simpering old fool, Doctor J. Robert Lucky. Sometimes you succeed, but most of the time you don’t find the right weapon, or you find yourself lost inside the old man’s mansion, or you notice someone watching and postpone your attempt.

And if that weren’t bad enough, Doctor Lucky bought a dog. His name is Shamrock, and he’s just as lucky as his master. He also has an annoying habit of making you feel fond of him. And that makes you mad—mad enough to Kill Doctor Lucky… and His Little Dog, Too.

Clever & sneaky goblins! Think you can escape the wrath of Rigor Mortis while you slink about his lab, hoping to filch a dusty tome of arcane lore? Beware the withering looks of the Dark Overlord and the terrible punishments of his dreadful spells!

Standing on one foot, holding a card on your head, or talking with your mouth closed are only a few of the dire punishments that await you if you earn the wrath of an angry Dark Overlord. Have you the luck to push one of your fellow goblins into his path, maybe he'll punish them instead!

There is no way to measure how smart a goblin is. Do you believe them? Are you brave enough to find out? If you are, sneak into the private library of Rigor Mortis and see if you can claim a magic tome for your own. Beware! The Dark Overlord stalks the shelves seeking his own dark treatises. Can you avoid his withering gaze and escape his terrible spells? Maybe you should use that teleporter over there. Of course, that won't always work...

Kragmortha is a frighteningly hilarious boardgame for 2 to 8 players.

Eight monkeys enter, one monkey leaves! Anything goes in this hair-pulling, rock-throwing, no-holds-barred cage match. Sticks, slaps, rakes, and pokes are the means by which the alpha monkey will emerge from the melee. Pick a monkey, enter the ring, and let the rumble begin in this wacky game of simian combat!

Monkey Arena pits monkey against monkey, with each player choosing one of the eight simian characters provided. The game is designed for silly fun, so play is simple and fast. During a turn, players move their monkeys around the board and play cards from their hands to attack, replenish their health, or cause events to occur. The player with the last monkey standing wins the game!

Shot into space and long since forgotten, six monkey tribes fiercely compete to advance their civilizations... Well, "civilizations" might be too strong a word for it -- most of the tribes are still struggling with basic grooming. But they fiercely compete nonetheless. Fortunately you, the players, have better uses for your time. Leaving aside your squabbling tribemates, you've learned how to repair the ships that stranded everyone on the moon in the first place. But who do you let on board? Some tribes do not get along, some monkeys wield greater influence than others and some tribes simply can't stand the sight of you. The player who brings freedom to the most revered and influential monkeys will surely be a hero back on Earth..

Kill the monster, grab the treasure, stab your buddy. That's what it's all about. Now, Munchkin comes to the boardgame.

Cooperate with the whole group, adventure with a partner, or strike out on your own. You don't know what's behind a door until you open it . . . then another tile is added to the dungeon. Battle monsters for power and treasure, or send them after your friends. Reach Level 10, and then get out alive if you can!

Designed by Steve Jackson, and illustrated by John Kovalic, this boardgame doesn't take itself seriously. Except for the loot - munchkins are always serious about that!

One False Step for Mankind is a board game about Gold Rush towns with vast resources and only one thing to spend them on: shooting a rocket to the Moon. This is a complex game, taking upwards of three hours to play, but we thoroughly enjoy it and we think you will too. It's also the first Cheapass boxed game to contain full-color cards and boards!

In One False Step, you take the role of a city mayor, controlling one or more towns on a random Old West board. You must manage your gold mines, farms, and cities, trying to earn political influence by building and firing off Moon rockets. Successful Moon shots earn you points, and the first player to earn 30 points wins the game.

This expansion for One False Step for Mankind - the original boardgame where absurdly wealthy Gold Rush towns race to the moon - provides a new set of Moon-colored boards for the original game, plus a few twists on the basic rules.

"Run, run, fast as you can…."

Yours is an enchanted land made entirely of candy and confections, but underneath that sugar frosted veneer lies the disturbing truth. The king has betrayed you all.

The sweet, candy citizens all over the land are being packaged and shipped from the castle to voracious children all over the world. But not you. You’re not going out like that. Time to get your candy buttons out of Dodge!

So it’s every gingerbread man for himself in a mad dash for the border. And if you have to snap a few ginger limbs to save yourself, well… that’s the way the cookie crumbles!

April 14, 1912. A cold night in the Atlantic. An errant iceberg, a titanic cruise ship, and one very lucky old man.

Doctor Lucky is a charismatic and well-repected philanthropist in this many-years-before prequel to Kill Doctor Lucky. Of course, you secretly hate the old bastard, and you can't wait to kill him someday. But killing him aboard a sinking ship would be pointless, especially when you're probably about to die.

So you've decided to save his life instead, and do it while somebody else is looking. That way, even if you go down with the ship, you'll at least go down in history. Isn't that what life is all about?

You Need: One Pawn for each player, plus one Master Pawn for Doctor Lucky.

The tiny Snits have been persecuted for ages by the huge Bolotomi. Then, one day, inspiration strikes! A few brave Snits run inside a Bolotomus, and attack from within. It's the Snits' Revenge!

The Snits attack by kicking the snot out of the Bolotomus' internal organs. Will they smash enough to cause system failure . . . or will they get lucky and find the Spark of Life . . . before they are overwhelmed by their huge foe's internal defenses?

This wacky classic was one of Tom Wham's very first games. Now it's back . . . along with the prequel, Snit Smashing, which previously appeared only in magazine form and has been unfindable for almost two decades. Snit Smashing explains why the Snits are so upset. They just want to run back and forth, to and from the ocean, reproducing. The Bolotomi smash them for fun (hey, it's boring on that beach). No wonder the Snits want revenge . . .

Two insane little Tom Wham games in one box. Truly, life is good . . . Rules, die-cut counters, a two-sided full-color map, and five dice in a 6" x 9" box.

Welcome to LeGrand Mall, the oldest and most poorly secured indoor mall in the world. It's as airtight as the Titanic and as solid as a wet paper bag. This place just begs to be robbed.

Enter you. And your infantile collection of friends. It's not enough to simply loot this mall. No, you have to do it with a certain amount of flair. Which boils down to an all-night looting race, with shopping carts, flashlights, and guns.

The object? Park your car, dash into the mall, and load your shopping cart with the goodies on your list. You can snitch stuff out of the stores if you like, but it's even more fun (and easier) to steal it from your friends. And that would explain why you're carrying a huge gun.

You Need: Two decks of playing cards, two pawns for each player, and two 6-sided dice.

The crew of the exploration ship ZNUTAR just wanted to cruise around the Galaxy, discovering strange new worlds and playing pool. But then their ship was invaded by the Awful Green Things . . . and suddenly they were fighting for their lives!

In this wacky two-player game, one player controls the Awful Green Things. They grow and multiply every turn... especially if they can gobble up a crew member! The other player commands the crew, frantically trying weapon after weapon (pool sticks, fire extinguishers, cans of Zgwortz) in hope of finding something that kills the monsters.

Defend the honor of your Emperor by throwing a party for the penguin hordes! In this card-laying game, players invite penguins to enjoy themselves in front of juggling sheep and acrobatic kangaroos. Can you bring the most amusement to the flightless masses?
