DIVE INTO THE GREAT BARRIER REEF WITHOUT DAMAGING ITS DELICATE STRUCTURE 🐠

From the design team that brought us Wondrous Creatures, Yeom Cheolwoong and Sophia Kang, we've got a brand new board game: SHALLOW SEA!

"Dive into the vibrant world of Shallow Sea, a puzzle board game inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef. In Shallow Sea, players will create their very own vivid ocean landscapes by strategically arranging an array of marine life, colorful fish, and corals. What makes Shallow Sea truly unique is its fresh take on a multi-layered puzzle system. Unlike typical puzzle games where pieces merely stack up, the elements in Shallow Sea can activate, deactivate, and even move, creating exciting combos and thought-provoking dilemmas that keep you on your toes."

This game supports 1-4 players, takes about 45 minutes, and it's totally in stock right now at all Vaults of Midnight!

SPIDER-MAN IS AT IT AGAIN 🕷💨

It's no secret that one of Leslie's favorite All Ages Marvel series is Mighty Marvel Team-Ups by Mike Maihack! She's been handing this series to children and adults alike for many moons. Needless to say, she's SUPER excited for the latest installment in the series: Spider-Man: Mighty Mayhem!

"No day is boring when you're Spider-Man and adventure is around every corner. But when Thor hops into the scene, transformed into a mini-Mjölnir-wielding frog, Spidey's day is about to get even more adventurous!

After a heated battle against Enchantress, Thor's friends—Valkyrie and the Warriors Three—and Odin's most powerful artifacts have all been turned into humdrum house objects and scattered across the Nine Realms. With a knack for seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary, Spider-Man is on the hunt! How hard can finding the artifacts really be? "

You can find Spider-Man: Mighty Mayhem in the All Ages section of your friendly neighborhood Vault of Midnight. And, if you haven't already, check out the previous 3 Spider-Man entries in the Mighty Marvel Team-Ups series: Animals Assemble, Quantum Quest, and Cosmic Chaos!

JONESING FOR SOME JAPANESE EATS IN THE SUMMER HEAT? 🍤🍜🍥

Maybe you're longing for some crispy shrimp tempura, or for your favorite mouth-watering bowl of ramen.

Shrimp tempura plushies from Smoko Inc. and Pusheen are here at Vault Ann Arbor to bring some flavor to any corner of your home (and they'll last a lot longer than a single meal, too).

VAULT BOOK OF THE MONTH - AUGUST '26

You might've heard some buzz about this one, as it just won a well-deserved Eisner Award for Best New Series! Our Book of the Month for August is ASSORTED CRISIS EVENTS VOL. 1 by Deniz Camp and Eric Zawadzki.

"Time is having a crisis. Mingling in the red-light district, you can find actual cavemen, medieval knights, and cyborg soldiers on leave from World War IV. Victorian debutantes amble their way into cell phone stores, confused and bewildered (what is a data plan?). On their way to work, bleary-eyed commuters get trapped in time-loops, assaulted by alternate-reality versions of themselves, and try to avoid post-apocalyptic wastelands. And LOOK: the 3:15 bus just took a wrong turn…into the neolithic era."
- description via Image Comics

Assorted Crisis Events is a thought-provoking, action-packed sci-fi anthology that follows everyday people navigating a fracturing reality. It’s surreal, beautiful, chaotic, and oddly relatable for anyone who feels like the world is falling apart.

Swing by any Vault of Midnight location (or vaultofmidnight.shop) to grab this BotM for 15% off during the month of August!

THE MOST PERFECT FROGGIN' POND YOU EVER DID SEE 🐸🐸🐸

Do you like frogs? Do you like earning approval from others? Do you like earning the approval of frogs, specifically? Then boy, do we have a game for you!

"In [Pondscape], players create their own vibrant pond by carefully placing cards featuring various frog species and pond environments while collecting different insect types.

The core mechanisms involve grid building and card management, with pond construction as a spatial puzzle... A unique shared mechanism revolves around the 'jumper frog', a central figure that hunts insects and other food. All players influence the jumper frog's actions and compete to gather insects that can provide bonus points during the final scoring. Careful planning and resourceful play will lead to the most balanced and flourishing pond!"
- description via Capstone Games

🐸 Gameplay features:
➡ 2-4 players, 30 minutes, plus a Solo Mode option!
➡ Construct your pond by placing different frog cards over 15 rounds!
➡ Be sure to keep in mind each frog's preferences to maximize points, and best utilize the almighty Jumper Frog!

🐸 "Cane Toad" Cody's input:
"Pretty sure this game features more frogs than any other game ever made. Same game designer as SETI and Tea Garden! All of my life I have wanted my own frog pond and now I can have it... Ribbit."

You can find Pondscape by hopping over to the board games section of your preferred Vault of Midnight.
