IT'S SHOWTIME!
And we will start with one of the 2 games released today!
 
  • COSMOCTOPUS:
Cosmoctopus is an engine-building, tentacle-gathering board game for 1 to 4 devotees. Guide Cosmoctopus through the Inky Realm, a flexible configuration of tiles, to gather resources and obtain powerful cards that represent relics, scripture, hallucinations and constellations. Harness the power of these bizarre objects and experiences, craft potent card combinations and be the first to gain 8 tentacles to win!

Let's thank the Paper Fort Games team and the game designer Henry Audubon for their authorization to bring this game to our platform, as well as the work done by Kayvon and Mogri to make it work on any devices, for your pleasure!
 
 
  • MUTANT CROPS:
In a near future, agrotoxics and contamination created some strange mutant plants... that are really scary! But hey, profit is profit, so you have to be the best farmer and make them grow.
You have 12 actions in the table (half face down, half face up) that allow you to gather resources (tokens), gain plants, and nurture them. Each turn you have 2/3 actions, and what you use and what you block stop your friends from doing the same. You need to take care of your resources, and you do not know exactly what action will be available next, so your goals can be hard to reach. You have to get your crops well nurtured to score, and they do crazy stuff together, so keep and eye on other players crops, to be sure you have the best mutants to score points and win the game.

And we would like to send our thanks to the team of publishers El Dragón Azul, OK Ediciones and Atheris Games who made it happen here, and also thanks to the nice adaptation made by hymnal to have this title playable here!
 
 
and... IT'S SHOWTIME! (again)
 
Also, let's celebrate this time of the year by offering you a selection of games you might not know, or you possibly missed their halloween expansions!
We offer plenty of games, and there are plenty of reasons to choose a specific theme for a specific period of the year.
 
If you are in the mood to play with a lot of people, why not get involved in a Werewolves game? Will you get the chills from meeting new people?
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=werewolves
 
Why not join a game of PATCHWORK with it's Halloween expansion?
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=patchwork
 
or King of Tokyo, for some monster fights?
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=kingoftokyo
 
Two players only? Get into a trick-taking game of Jekyll vs Hyde and discover your dark side...
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=jekyllvshide
 
Tired of being Jekyll or Hyde? Dress as Dracula vs Van Helsing!
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=draculahelsing
 
Will you dare to join a game of Don't Go In There?
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=dontgointhere
 
Or did you simply prefer to face a single soul, in Soulaween?
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=soulaween
 
Before calling the Ghostbusters, it might be better to have fun with 2 to 4 players in Ghost at Home:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=ghostathome
 
If you cannot get rid of the monsters, why not make your very own in Monster Factory?
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=monsterfactory
 
It is not about the monsters but more about the place? You will love to fight with your armies in Blood Rage!
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=bloodrage
 
An old classic to play in the frightening London streets? Let's call Mr Jack!
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=mrjack
 
You are not into any of these? There's always a way to wear a mask with people. That's a Mascarade to play with your friends, by clicking right below:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=mascarade
 
That's it for today.
With the continuous waves of games that are released, it's good sometimes to remember about titles that deserves more love.

There's a typo (and it isn´t blood lol): it says mutant CORPS instead of crops.
