BoardTernal Order is our upcoming board game, probably coming in summer 2019. The goal is to collect helmets, and use them to recruit as many members as you can! You can also get the Golden Fedora and defeat Grindolo, who moves around the board trying to stop you. Whoever recruits the most members by the time Grindolo is beaten wins! For the detailed instructions, see the wiki page.
Here's a few example turns, by Honstlar and Gfd.

All right, everything's set up. Are we ready to play? Good. Let's take our B-Team cards.
{They each take a random B-Team card from the deck}
All right! I got Arsene Video Greg's Back Door Key. That means I can go through barriers!
Sweet! I got Dean's Adding Machine. I can use two more moves than what it says on the card. For instance, if the card says 5, I can move 7 times.
You go first.
My turn! {draws a card} Ooh! I have two choices: I can get two helmets, or I can steal one of yours! We just started the game, so you don't have any helmets, so stealing would do nothing. Therefore, I'll choose taking two. {takes two helmet tokens from his stack} I have to move Grindolo to... Sweet Cuppin' Cakes. {moves Grindolo} Oh good, none of us are on that tile, so nothing bad happens. And my card says "4". Since I have Dean's Adding Machine, that means I have 6 moves instead of 4. Hmm... I'll use them to... go under Bubs. He costs two helmets. So now, I'm going to pay him my two helmets and recruit him! {places his helmet tokens on Bubs's space}
My turn! {draws a card} My choices are: Get a helmet, or take over another player's recruit for free, anywhere on the board. I choose the second one! I'm takin' over your Bubs! {puts Honstlar's tokens back on his stack, and places his own in their place} Now I move Grindolo to the Black Market. {moves Grindolo} Uh oh, you're on that space. Sorry, pal, you're goin' to Castle Grindolo. And my card says "3", so I'll move right three times to the Stick.
My turn... oh wait. I'm in Castle Grindolo. I can't do anything. {sigh} It's your turn again.
Yes! {draws a card} Looks like I can bail someone out of Castle Grindolo for free. Since you're a great cousin and Supreme Overlord... sure, why not.
Thanks, Garblem'n! {moves Honstlar to the Pillquarters}
