A Guide to My GAMES

Trying to determine which of my games is right for you? This alphabetical overview should help!


Don't judge me, but...
   A competitive take on one of the world's most popular drinking games. While almost everyone alive has played a round or two of "I never...", it goes without saying that there isn't much game there to be found. Firstly, there are never any true winners with the classic play style. Secondly, the game is always punishing the weirdos. And that's not cool. The fix? Throw a few cards in the mix, and turn the tables in favor of the weirdos! Like the old saying goes, once you go black you never go- look, JUST BUY THIS GAME ALREADY. It will remind you that it's perfectly okay to be awesome.

   A unique take on American fantasy football. Finally, a complex yet easy to pick up and play version of America's most popular fantasy sport. This card game represents years of experience with the medium, and dedication to the hobby itself. If you're a fantasy football fan, then you're sure to quickly find yourself addicted to this game. And its accessibility means that even those who know absolutely nothing about football can enjoy this as well.
   Great pains were taken to ensure that this experience wasn't watered down for the sake of newcomers. The mechanics of the game were simply perfected to the point of making it a breeze to catch on to for those less-adept at sports games.
   The key here is strategy and the ability to adapt upon an endlessly changing field of players and outcomes. Each of the six teams within the overall deck comes complete with varying strengths and weaknesses, which can be used to your own advantage once you begin to feel each team out. However, the random outcomes of drawing cards and rolling dice during downs makes for risky business in most instances; much like fantasy football itself.
   There are also multiple ways to make it to the 'Superbowl' round; ensuring that not all players will approach the game the same way, and creating scenarios not often seen in most competitive card games.
   Any fan of fantasy football should feel instantly familiar with this game, while players new to the sport will not have trouble catching on to the concepts presented here. Fantasy Cardball is meant to take minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. Buy now!

   Social party games for apes who can read. DECK #1 (of 2) 120 Prompts & 480 Responses (plus 25 Blank Cards) Visit www.shanewindham.com for links to the other deck.
   Meet your new best friend. This one's going to be a terrible influence; hellbent on turning you into one of those people who just can't leave well-enough alone, and doesn't give a damn who they offend. The bright side to all of this, of course, is that your new friend will always keep you laughing and failing to take yourself too seriously.
   If you've a group of people around to drink with, and simply want a guaranteed good time, then Humans Against Everything is the game for you. And, if the main game ever gets stale, you'll have over 25 different variations to take on; some mimic drinking games, while others have you mad at imaginary friends. Hell, some even get you naked (it's for fun).
   Also, this is only one of multiple decks to be had; each chock full of completely unique playing cards. So, don't be the last to make it to the best party on the block. Buy your copy of H.A.E. today! You'll hate yourself for loving this game so much, but that's life.
   Be sure to grab your free download of the rules while you're here.

   DECK #2 (of 2) 120 Prompts & 480 Responses (plus 25 Blank Cards)

   A colossal battle of dubiousness and dice. Equal parts luck, strategy, and mystery, Monster Master pits you and a set of polyhedral dice against your fellow table game opponents and all 52 monsters in the deck. Who will be the first to reach the 10 Monster points required to win?
   Not counting the Monster Master, this game is meant for 2-5 players. All players will build their characters with particular strengths and weaknesses using a set amount of stat points, while the Monster Master decides in secret how to build each and every monster you get to face. Your goal is simply to master the most monsters by rolling against their (often unknown) categorical stats, or by battling other players for possession of their already tamed monsters.
   Please note that play of this game requires (but does not include) a set of polyhedral dice, printed Player Sheets & Monster Master Sheets (downloadable for free at shanewindham.com/games), 1 pencil per active player, and a pen for the Monster Master.
   The 'Rules' document is downloadable from this page after purchase.
