Timber Tom is an “adventure strategy” game in which you simulate great-grandchildren trying to find gold buried  in four places in the wilderness by their crazed great-grandfather.

As you roll the dice, select your movement direction, and pick the cards, you can also plant trees to obstruct the other players and chop them down with axes and chainsaws.

Cute meeples.

Vehicular Homicide is the revised and retitled version of Diecast Mayhem, a miniatures arena combat game by Radioactive Press. The game is intended for use with common diecast vehicle toys instead of custom miniatures, thus making it particularly easy for new players to pick up the game. Using these rules, players can design there own vehicles—including automobiles, tracked vehicles, walkers, hovercraft, and aircraft—and arm them with weapons and other special attachments. The final survivor in head-to-head combat is the victor.
