It’s a Reiner Knizia classic! In four rounds, players bid on chips representing genuine directors, actors, camera, effects, music, guest stars, and agents. These all get placed on players’ film strips to complete the movie production. So one movie might need two actors, but no music or effects and so on. As films are completed, the points value is marked and another film-strip taken.
Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes boop—which is to say that it pushes every other kitten on the board one space away. Line up three kittens in a row to graduate them into cats…and then get three cats in a row to win! But that isn’t easy with both you and your opponent constantly booping kittens around. It’s like herding cats! Can you boop your cats into position to win? Or will you just get booped right off the bed?

Stalingrad, 1942. Before you awaits a grueling conflict in this cornerstone battleground. As the bullets and bombs tear the city asunder, only through wits and valor can you seize the cornerstone of the entire Eastern Front and change the course of history.
A heavy burden rests on your shoulders. Every casualty suffered in battle will weaken your forces for the entire campaign. Every bomb blast and mortar shell leaves the very ground for which you are fighting in further ruin. Every inch lost to the enemy brings you closer to the jaws of defeat. Over the course of up to fifteen branching scenarios, you will decide the fate of Stalingrad and, perhaps, the war itself. Even though the consequences of your actions will persist, the game itself can be fully reset and replayed, allowing you to explore every potential outcome.
Undaunted: Stalingrad is a monumental standalone game that expands the series’ scope and challenge beyond anything that’s come before. Featuring more than 300 unique illustrations by Roland MacDonald and 150 evocative mission briefings written by acclaimed author Robbie MacNiven, immerse yourself in this campaign at the heart of the war.
Inspired by real-life synchronized swimming, Sync or Swim focuses on teamwork, collaboration, and communication. Each round, teammates plan the perfect routine while taking direction from the team captain.
