Club Zen combines Eastern and Western idea, with players trying to create a “Zen” working vacation.  Using worker placement mechanics, players must manage work stress while making friends and finding time for vacation activities like rock climbing and building their zen gardens.  The most “relaxed” player at the end of the week wins.

The game includes a game board showing the “Club Zen” resort, 110 cards, 5 player boards, scoring track, 15 worker tokens, 100 cubes, and tokens, featuring artwork by Adam Rebottaro (Sentinels of the Multiverse).  Club Zen is designed for 3 to 5 players, and plays in about 90 minutes.  MSRP is $49.95.

In Don’t Get Eated, players are farm animals setting out to explore the world, only to discover that it is a dangerous place.  They must work together in order to survive, with the group slowly shrinking as they fall victim to attacks.  The last animal standing wins.

Don’t Get Eated includes 99 animal cards, 12 Threat cards, a “Wheel of Doom” spinner, and game tokens, and features art by Kwanchai Moriya (Catacombs).  This game is for 5 to 9 players and plays in about half an hour.  MSRP is $19.95.

Both projects are being funded together through a combined Kickstarter campaign.
