Desperadoes of Dice Town

Now it's up to you to spring those banditos and send them after your foes, before they do the same to you! Use handfuls of specialized dice, surprise cards, and bandit ablities to push your luck and execute your cunning plan to become the criminal mastermind of Dice Town!

War & Peace is an expansion for the hit game Archipelago. It contains new cards and a special box designed to speed up play. New evolution cards and character cards add variety and new dimension to this exciting game, and three new play modes will make for exciting and diverse games every time you play.

A Fresh Face to a Well-Loved Favorite

We have fond memories of blasting away at our friends with the foam firearms in Cash 'n Guns, but we decided it was time to make all-new memories and release a second edition of the exciting game of bullets and bravado. And we're stepping it up a notch, bringing on fan-favorite John Kovalic to bring a whole new level of hilarity and spontaneous violence to one of our favorites!
