Heckna

A carnival horror campaign setting for 5e D&D deserves a look, and this one has certainly been popular - at time of writing, it has just over £281,000 pledged, after having a pledge goal of £15,500.

A UK based card game this time, from a couple based in Cambridge. Bots Up is a fast-paced card game for 2-5 players, where you'll be competing to be the last bot standing! It's easy to learn (if the videos are anything to go by!) and looks to be great fun for a quick game.
