The Nanga Parbat: Missions Pack is an expansion pack for Nanga Parbat. The pack includes a total of 14 cards: 11 game cards (5 mission cards + 6 reward cards) and 3 rules cards.
At the start of the game, the 5 mission cards are laid out in a row, showing the different missions for the game. Paired with each mission is a reward card. The first player to accomplish a mission earns the reward card. Since the mission cards are double-sided, there is a wide variety of mission combinations. Plus, with 6 different rewards and only 5 used per game, the reward combinations also differ from game to game.
More specifically, each mission shows 3 hikers in a particular pattern in a region. To accomplish the mission, a player must have their own hikers in the exact combination shown in one of the six regions.
The reward cards include an immediate point reward and/or a special power. The front side of the cards show the rewards using icons, while the backside describe the rewards in text.

You are a jewel thief, and you've been invited to the mansion of someone who doesn't know that you engage in such nefarious doings. While at that mansion, you're going to try to nick as many jewels as possible, but *gadzooks* the mansion turns out to be filled with jewel thieves who are all trying to do the same thing. Can you out them publicly, while staying unknown yourself and bagging a nice collection of gems?
In Suspicion, ten characters start on the perimeter of the game board, and each player is secretly one of these characters. On a turn, you roll two dice, then move the two characters shown (or characters of your choice if you roll a joker). After this, you play one of the two action cards in your hand, and carry out one of the actions on that card: stealing a type of gem in the space where your character is located, moving any character, asking someone else whether their character can be seen by someone on the board, and so on.
Gems come in three types, and when one of the piles is empty, the game ends. Everyone guesses who is which character, then all identities are revealed. For each player you've guessed correctly, you score 7 points; for each set of three different gems, you score 6 points; and for each individual gem aside from the sets, you score 1 point. Whoever has the most points wins!

In this exciting game, players must collect complete sets of Parable Cards. You can draw as many cards as you like, but be careful. Draw an Oopsie! Card and you will pay the price! Will you be bold and fearless? Or will you be conservative and cautious?
Jesus was a masterful storyteller. Using common objects like sheep and seeds, Jesus told short but powerful parables to help His audience grasp important spiritual truths. This game features 12 of Jesus’ parables.
The objective of the game is to form complete sets of Parable Cards. Each set comprises 4 cards of the same parable and is identified by a colored title bar on the top-left of the cards. The first player to form 2 complete sets of Parable Cards wins.

Bat Flip is a gamer’s love-letter to baseball. The game features eight original teams, each built around its own distinct baseball strategy or theme. Flex your financial muscles as the New York Moneybags. Bunt and steal your way to victory as the Sioux City Small Ballers. Deliver take-out slides and headhunting pitches as the Detroit Dirt Bags.
Bat Flip is a fast-paced card game of action and reaction. Step into the role of manager, decide how to deploy your players to hit, pitch and field over the course of an action-packed 3-inning game. Respond instantly to your opponent's moves. Utilize your best players and abilities in the most pivotal moments of the game. When the time is just right, swing for the fences and flip that bat.
Similar to the popular game Smash Up, you will draft two team-decks and shuffle them together to form a 24-card deck that combines both team’s players and special abilities.
The game alternates between the At-Bat Step and the Steal Step. During the At-Bat Step, managers will play player cards out of their hand in an attempt to hit safely or draw a walk. In response, the defending manager may play a defender out of their hand in an attempt to mitigate the damage or record an out. When players hit or walk, their cards move around the bases. During the Steal Step, the batting team may attempt to use their Runners' speed to take extra bases and the defense may, again, respond with a defender in attempt to throw the runner out.
Whichever team has the most runs after 3 innings, is the winner!
