“An island’s future is in your hands… The power to save it is in the Cards.”

These just in: Xëko, Mission: MADAGASCAR, and Xëko, Mission: COSTA RICA.

What in the world am I talking about, you ask? Why, Xëko, the award winning card game! Grab a friend and choose your Mission.

“Ancient Xëko forces are joining together to defend the Hotspots - the most fascinating, and and most threatened places on Earth. The search is on for the next generation of Xëko Masters. Will you be ready?”

Each box of Xëko includes 2 card decks, a game mat, a rule book, and 2 play guides. Having just tried it, I can tell you it’s fun as heck. Suitable for ages 8 and up. I’m 29.

In addition to the games themselves, we also have 9-card Xëko booster packs, each guaranteed to contain at least one “Endangered” Card.

BETRAYAL
by Harold Pinter
directed by Donald Hicken

Spouses, lovers, friends: Three people form a shifting triangle…

In Harold Pinter’s acerbic portrayal of three people bound by passion and boredom, Emma, Jerry, and Robert discover, as they retrace their shared histories, that the old days weren’t so simple after all. Emma’s marriage to Robert, her affair with Jerry, and Robert’s friendship with Jerry are analyzed as the play unfolds in reverse chronology, but instead of answers, the questions and lies pile up as the three ponder “if I’d only known…”

We hope to see you all there!
