'Such a fun, sparkling, swoonworthy romance full of memorable moments' - Cressida McLaughlin *** A slow-burn romance fifteen years in the making... Hattie has spent half her life secretly crushing on Freddie - her best friend Sam's irresistibly gorgeous older brother. But Freddie? He's barely spared a glance for Hattie, the girl Sam befriended one fateful New Years' Eve when they discovered they were birthday twins. Fast-forward to now: Hattie finds herself single for the first time in years - just before the holidays. Enter Sam, who, in classic best-friend fashion, whisks her away to a remote cabin in the Forest of Dean to cheer her up. Snowy woodland views? Check. A crackling fire and a steamy hot tub? Check. Zero cell service, ravenous wild boars, and an incoming snowstorm of apocalyptic proportions? Also check. And to make matters even more intense, Freddie joins them, unexpectedly. Still infuriatingly gorgeous, and still ridiculously off-limits. Except this time, he's actually noticing Hattie. But then again, maybe he's been noticing her all along. Fifteen years of longing. One night to change everything.

Wanna burn for all eternity? No? Then cleanse your soul, you filthy human. In Ticket to Hell from Ridley’s Games, you must pay for your mortal sins. But that doesn’t mean you have to play fair . . . You have three Tickets to save yourself from the fiery pit. But your opponents are out to get you. And you must respond in kind. Use your Actions to trick, disrupt, and outwit the others, and ultimately watch their Tickets burn while yours stay nice and cool. If someone tries to drag you down, use your Defenses to fend off their attack. If you commit a Mortal Sin, like ghosting your mom or not replacing the toilet paper, then you'd better hope for some Divine Intervention to stay in the game. But if you commit an Unforgivable Sin, there's no saving you. Sorry. Bet you wish you never pushed Grandma now. Made for people who like to play fast and loose with fairness, this game is suitable for ages 10+, 2-6 players, and has an average 30-minute gameplay. How to Play: Ready for one hell of a time? Line up your defenses with three starter cards. Now draw a card from the Hell deck and follow its instruction. No excuses. Use your Actions to preserve your Tickets, redirect attacks onto your opponents, and save yourself from damnation. You might take a peek at what's to come, pull some strings to wreck another player's plans, or just plain steal something. Can't defend yourself? Burn a Ticket on the path to Hell. If you burn your final Ticket, you must throw yourself into the Pit. The last player teetering on the edge of damnation when all others have been eliminated is the winner. Unless someone leaves a Parting Gift. Then you're all doomed. Who It's For: Fans of strategy, sabotage, and silliness. What's Inside: 35 Defense cards, 20 Mortal Sin cards, 18 Action cards, 5 Unforgivable Sin cards, 4 Trigger cards, 18 Tickets, Hell Pit board, and English instructions. BURN, BABY, BURN – Ticket to Hell from Ridley’s Games will try to drag you into the fiery pit of flames. You have three Tickets to save yourself from eternal ouchies. Will you dance with the devil? Or do you have what it takes to cling on to the edge? SINFUL STRATEGY GAME – Mix things up with Actions by stacking the deck. Use Defenses to shield yourself from opponents and the Fates. Just when you think you are safe, Trigger cards will up the ante. Struck by an Event? Better hope you have a helpful hand. YOU’LL PAY FOR THAT – Commit a Mortal Sin, like licking the last cookie? Start praying that Divine Intervention keeps your Tickets intact. But commit an Unforgivable Sin (pushing Grandma—who does that?!), and it’s game over. Well, almost. GAME NIGHT STARTER – Made for fans of strategy, sabotage, and silliness, Ticket to Hell is the ideal way to get your friends and family in the zone for game night. Suitable for 2–6 players, ages 10+, it takes around 30 mins to discover your fate. RIDLEY’S – Awesome games and puzzles packed with personality—that’s our passion!

It is in the hot countries that the sun burns down in earnest, turning the people there a deep mahogany-brown. In the hottest countries of all they are seared into negroes, but it was not quite that hot in this country to which a man of learning had come from the colder north. He expected to go about there just as he had at home, but he soon discovered that this was a mistake. He and other sensible souls had to stay inside. The shutters were drawn and the doors were closed all day long. It looked just as if everyone were asleep or away from home. The narrow street of high houses where he lived was so situated that from morning till night the sun beat down on it - unbearably!
