A cooperative, deck-crafting adventure coming this fall
Presenting… Ham Helsing! Based on the best-selling graphic novel about a reluctant monster-hunting pig, Ham Helsing is a cooperative adventure board game. Join Ham, Ronin, Malcom, and Lobos as they attempt to save the world! Using a deck-crafting system with transparent cards, you’ll protect locations from endless swarms of minions while improving your skills. Can you power up fast enough to stop the Villain from destroying Mud Canyon and save the day?
Blaze a path through the world of Ham Helsing, choosing your battles and leveling up your character.
Transparent upgrade cards let you enhance your deck in real-time. If a symbol fits on your card, you can slip the upgrade into the sleeve, improving your abilities for future turns!
Triumph together with your team, using card combos and location powers to help each other.
Fight fiendish foes, including 4 different Villains with their own unique challenges. But if your team hasn’t brought the Villain’s health to 0 by the end of the last player’s turn at Mud Canyon, your bacon is burnt!
More info about release and pre-orders coming soon.
Fireside Games is happy to announce Please Don’t Burn My Village! This enchanting market game set in the world of Castle Panic will hit stores worldwide in Spring of 2025, and we’re holding an extra special pre-launch party to celebrate.
A fearsome dragon is threatening to burn all the villages in the Kingdom! Luckily dragons are greedy, so if you can bribe him with treasures from the battlefield like a Barbarian’s Axe or a Phoenix Feather, you might persuade him to spare your village. Unfortunately, all the other villagers have the same idea!
Bribe with the right treasure at the right time to keep the dragon’s attention while buying treasures at the Black Market and cursing the other villagers’ treasures. When there’s no more treasure left, the dragon will burn all the villages except for one. Will it be yours?
Fantasy-Filled Fun: This enchanting game for 2 to 5 players features fantastic treasures and the dragon from the world of Castle Panic.
Simple Rules, Fast Gameplay: With easy-to-learn rules, Please Don’t Burn My Village! can be played in about 20 minutes.
Accessible Market Game: The simple rules make this market game accessible to players ages 10+ with different experience levels. The choice in card play provides strategic depth.
Please Don’t Burn My Village! is available for preorder and will be demoed at GAMA Expo, Origins, Gen Con, and more to be announced.
