“The Jungle is a living force. It sees you before you see it. It rewards patience, punishes arrogance, and belongs to those who know how to move through it without being seen. At the heart of Riftbound’s third set is a single unifying idea:

“Power strikes from the shadows.”

Champions like Master Yi, Diana, Vi, and Pyke embody this idea of hidden strength and patient transformation. Each has walked a solitary path, shaped not in the spotlight, but in silence. Whether it’s Yi’s clarity through focus, Diana’s exile-forged conviction, Vi’s relentless pursuit of justice, or Pyke’s calculated retribution, all four share a common truth: their power was earned in the dark. They represent the Jungle’s rhythm: wait, watch, strike, and prove that real strength doesn’t roar. It lurksbuilds, and erupts when the moment is right.

In short, Unleashed is about becoming.

Champions don’t arrive fully formed, they grow, evolve, and strike only when it matters.

The Jungle is their crucible, and Unleashed introduces the new XP mechanic to illustrate that change, enabling fantastic new abilities. Every XP token, every monster defeated, every hidden advantage gained… is a step toward dominance.”

Murder Mystery Party: A Taste for Wine and Murder at Gnome Games Green Bay East

There’s been a murder at Gnome Games Green Bay East – a Murder Mystery Party that is!

Everyone is a suspect when murder is on the menu.

Join us to take a tour of California Wine Country! Picture it: peaceful vineyards, picturesque wineries.  You are all attendees at the annual wine-tasting festival and having fun when you happen upon the body of Barry Underwood, a local vineyard owner, stashed beneath his wine cellar! Barry has been missing for six long years but with the discovery of his body comes a wealth of new clues to solve the mystery. It’s a vintage murder and you may be a suspect!

Saturday May 9th 
1:00pm
$20.00 Entry
Limit 6 guests

Each player will be assigned a character. Each character comes with a booklet including roles, background information, and a few tasty secrets. One participant will be the murderer, and it’s up to everyone to discover who it is before they can strike again. It’s in each guest’s best interest to prove their innocence by interrogating their fellow suspects until the murderer is exposed!

“The Underwood mansion, brightly lit and richly decorated is the scene of a congenial gathering of family and friends. Meeting and greeting at the door were Ralph Rottingrape and his wife, Tiny Bubbles. As the guests lifted their glasses to toast their hosts and the new vintage of Pinot Noir, a small tremor shook the building. Used to such things in California, the guests were generally unmoved until the old wooden floor buckled, revealing the well-preserved body of former vineyard owner, Barry Underwood. Much shaken, the guests cast their eyes about watching each other’s expressions, and wondering who was responsible for this vintage murder mystery.”
