This is a game with a persistent and changing world that is ideally played over many game sessions. After a scenario players will make decisions about what to do next which will determine how the story continues kind of like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. Playing through a scenario is a co-operative affair where players will fight against automated monsters using an innovative card system to determine the order of play and what a player does on their turn.Each turn a player chooses two cards to play out of their hand. The number on the top card determines their initiative for the round. Each card also has a top and bottom power and when it is a player’s turn in the initiative order they determine whether to use the top power of one card and the bottom power of the other or vice-versa. Players must be careful though because over time they will permanently lose cards from their hands. If they take too long to clear a dungeon they may end up exhausted and be forced to retreat.

Life is Battle; Battle is Glory; Glory is ALLIn Blood Rage players control the warriors leader and ship of their own Viking clan. Ragnarök has come and it’s the end of the world! It’s the Vikings’ last chance to go down in a blaze of glory and secure their places in Valhalla at Odin’s side! As a Viking you can pursue one of many pathways to glory. You can: invade and pillage the land for its rewards; crush your opponents in battle: fulfill quests: increase your clan's stats: or even die gloriously in battle or from Ragnarök the ultimate inescapable doom.Most player strategies are guided by the cards drafted at the beginning of each of the three game rounds (or Ages). These “Gods’ Gifts” grant you numerous boons for your clan including: increased Viking strength and devious battle strategies upgrades to your clan or even the aid of legendary creatures from Norse mythology. They may also include various quests from dominating specific provinces to having many of your Vikings sent to Valhalla. Most of these cards are aligned with one of the Norse gods hinting at the kind of strategy they support. For example Thor gives more glory for victory in battle. Heimdall grants you foresight and surprises. Tyr strengthens you in battle while the trickster Loki actually rewards you for losing battles or punishes the winner.Players must choose their strategies carefully during the draft phase but also be ready to adapt and react to their opponents’ strategies as the action phase unfolds. Battles are decided not only by the strength of the figures involved but also by cards played in secret. By observing your opponent’s actions and allegiances to specific gods you may predict what card they are likely to play and plan accordingly. Winning battles is not always the best course of action as the right card can get you even more rewards by being crushed. The only losing strategy in Blood Rage is to shy away from battle and a glorious death!
In Cthulhu: Death May Die inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft you and your fellow players represent investigators in the 1920s who instead of trying to stop the coming of Elder Gods want to summon those otherworldly beings so that you can put a stop to them permanently. You start the game insane and while your long-term goal is to shoot Cthulhu in the face so to speak at some point during the game you'll probably fail to mitigate your dice rolls properly and your insanity will cause you to do something terrible — or maybe advantageous. Hard to know for sure.The game has multiple episodes and each of them has a similar structure of two acts those being before and after you summon whatever it is you happen to be summoning. If any character dies prior to the summoning then the game ends and you lose; once the Elder One is on the board as long as one of you is still alive you still have a chance to win.The episodes are all standalone and not contingent on being played in a certain order or with the same players.

The game's set-up also poses strategic opportunities. Players start the game by taking turns assembling sections of the Herakon Cluster placing individual system tiles along with their own starting forces and the enemy objectives that they must defend. This intentional construction along with the unique domination abilities of the game's four factions means that players must work to best utilize their own force's strengths while exploiting the weaknesses of their opponents.

Massive Star Destroyers fly to battle against Rebel corvettes and frigates. Banks of turbolasers unleash torrential volleys of fire against squadrons of X-wing and TIEs. Engineering teams race to route additional power to failing shields. Laser blasts and explosions flare across the battlefield. Even a single ship can change the tide of battle.In Star Wars: Armada you assume the role of fleet admiral serving with either the Imperial Navy or Rebel Alliance. You assemble your fleet and engage the enemy. Using the game’s unique maneuver tool you steer your capital ships across the battlefield even while squadrons of starfighters buzz around them. Then as these ships exchange fire it’s your job to issue the tactical commands that will decide the course of battle and perhaps the fate of the galaxy.Maneuver Tool The maneuver tool is one of the game’s most innovative features and adds a unique feel to the way your capital ships must accommodate for inertia as they maneuver through the stars.It consists of a number of segments linked with hinges which is used to plot the ship's course. More nimble ships are allowed to turn the ship further at each hinge.Command Stack Armada balances the awesome scale of the Star Wars galaxy’s ships and space warfare with intuitive ship designs and accessible rules for issuing commands and resolving combat that make for rich engaging and highly tactical play experiences.Capital ships are extremely powerful war machines but they’re also massive and sophisticated vessels that can’t swiftly react to every development in the heat of battle. Accordingly the key to flying these vessels effectively is learning how to plan ahead. You want to issue your commands in such a way that your crews will be ready to execute them at just the right times.Each of your pre-painted capital ships has a command value which determines how many commands it will have in its stack at any given point in time. During setup you secretly build your initial command stack selecting from any of four different commands each of which provides a different advantage. Once you have locked your selections you place the commands in your stack in the order of your choice. Then during each round of game play you secretly select and assign a new command to your ship placing it at the bottom of your command stack before you reveal the command at the top of your stack and gain its benefits.

Betrayal Legacy marries the concept of Betrayal at House on the Hill — exploring a haunted mansion — with the permanency and multi-game storytelling exhibited by Daviau's Risk Legacy and other legacy games that followed. Betrayal Legacy consists of a prologue and a thirteen-chapter story that takes place over decades. Players represent families with specific members of a family participating in one story then perhaps an older version of those characters (assuming they lived) or their descendants showing up in later stories.Why would people keep exploring a haunted mansion for decade after decade especially when horrible things happen there? Curiosity I suppose or perhaps an ignorant boldness that comes from the belief that we know better than those who have come before. Look at all that we've learned marvel at the tools we have at hand! Surely we'll all exit safely this time...As with other Betrayal titles the game is narratively-driven with elements that record the history of your specific games. The tools mentioned earlier for example become attached to specific families. This isn't just a bucket; it's my bucket the one my grandpappy used to feed his family's pigs when he was a boy and while you can certainly use that bucket I know how to wield it best from the time he spent teaching me how to slop. Yes it's an heirloom bucket and when kept in the family I get a bonus for using it.
X-Wing Second Edition puts you in command of your own squadron of advanced starfighters locked in thrilling tactical space combat. Following in the footsteps of the first edition the second edition refines the intuitive and exciting core formula of maneuvering your ships into position by placing a central focus on the visceral thrill of flying starships in the Star Wars galaxy.During a battle you’ll use your squadron’s unique capabilities to give yourself an advantage in the thick of combat. Each X-Wing ship flies differently with its own set of maneuvers ranging from gentle banks to aggressive Koiogran turns. As in the game’s first edition you’ll need to use every ship’s maneuvering capabilities to the fullest in order to strategically position your ships. A round begins with players secretly selecting a maneuver on each of their ships’ unique maneuver dials. Once you’ve decided how each of your ships is going to fly you’ll begin revealing the dials and moving your ships starting with the lowest skilled pilots.As you move you’ll enter a tense duel with your opponent as you both try to line up the perfect shot. Before you can open fire on an opponent’s ship however they must be in your firing arc and within range. By carefully selecting your maneuvers you can get enemy ships in your sights and once you’ve locked onto your target you’re free to choose your plan of attack. You might pepper the enemy with blaster fire to whittle away their shields. Or you could go for massive damage and launch a devastating volley of proton torpedoes. No matter how you approach the battle you have complete control of your squadron. One player wins when all of their opponent’s ships are destroyed!Slick flying is certainly important but it isn’t the only consideration you’ll have to make in the midst of a dogfight. As in the first edition of X-Wing once your ships have completed a maneuver you can also perform an action to gain the upper hand. Whether you choose to acquire a target lock on a rival ship or barrel roll out of an enemy’s firing arc the actions you take affect the course of the battle and determine the fate of your squadron.Now in the second edition of the game your actions offer greater strategic depth than ever before. Some actions are red and induce stress when they are used. Other actions may be linked allowing you to chain two actions together and push the limits of how your ship can handle in a dogfight!—description from the publisher

Game description from the publisher:For a time the humans of Sera knew peace...then Emergence Day came.

With billions dead humans turned their weapons of mass destruction on their own cities to deny the enemy control.

In Gears of War: The Board Game you’ll relive classic moments from Gears of War and Gears of War 2 – Roadie Run into cover spray your enemy with blind fire or rip him in half with your Lancer's chainsaw!In Gears of War: The Board Game you must fulfill one of seven randomly constructed missions and support your fellow COGs as your team engages an unflinching enemy in furious white-knuckle firefights! Only through teamwork and communication will you gain a tactical advantage completing your mission and striking a blow for humanity.You'll need every soldier you can get if you hope to send the Locust horde back to their holes. Leave no man behind!ERRATA - In the Roadblocks mission level 3 use tile 12A instead of 3A. - In the rules under Component List the following three entries are incorrect: -- 23 Wound/Dropped Weapon Markers should be 22 -- 12 Grenade Tokens should be 14 -- 36 Ammo Tokens should be 44
Conan designed by Fred Henry and based on the Conan universe by Robert E. Howard is a scenario-based semi-cooperative asymmetric miniatures board game. One player is the Overlord playing the opposition forces and the other players (1 to 4) play Conan and his companions: Shevatas the thief Hadrathus the Priest/Sorcerer Belit the pirate queen Valeria the warrior etc. The game is based purely on Robert E. Howard's novels and short stories (and not the movies or other non-Howardian material). The publisher has hired Patrice Louinet a Howard expert to make sure the art and the scenarios are compatible with Howard's vision.Each game is a scenario played on a map. There are 4 maps included in the retail copy of the game and each map can have several scenarios set on it. The game is fast one hour approximately. It's possible to play several scenarios in a campaign but you can also play each scenario individually. There are 9 scenarios in the base box.At the beginning of a scenario players choose their team (Conan and two or three other heroes). The Overlord gathers all the miniatures (picts Necromancer skeleton warriors monsters etc.) tokens and cards from the chosen scenario. The game usually plays in a limited number of turns (ten for instance). Each scenario can have very different objectives: find the princess captured by picts and hidden in a hut and leave the camp before the pict hunters return; find the magical key to open a sealed door steal the jewel and leave; kill the Necromancer by the end of turn 10; survive by the end of turn 10; escape the prison; etc.During their turn the heroes can activate or rest. If they activate they can spend gems from their energy pool to do all sorts of actions: move fight (melee or distance) defend pick a lock reroll etc. If they rest they can move a lot of gems from their spent pool box to their available pool box. When they take an action they throw a number of dice equal to the number of gems they put in their action. There are three different kinds of dice: yellow (the weaker dice) orange (medium) and red (strong). Each character has a color based on their specialty: Conan throws red dice in combat while the Sorcerer throws yellow dice in combat; the thief throws red dice in Manipulation actions while Conan throws orange dice; etc. Each player can have equipment cards (armor magic potions weapons etc.) which give them bonuses on their dice rolls.The Overlord plays differently. He uses a board with eight slidable tiles plus his own Energy gems. Each tile corresponds to one unit (1 to 3 miniatures) on the game mat and all of the miniature abilities are written on this tile (movement armor attack special abilities). The tile position on the board corresponds to the numbers 1-8. The Overlord has a pool of energy gems and each time he activates one unit he needs to spend a number of gems matching the tile placement: tile#1 costs 1 energy gem tile#2 costs 2 gems etc. Whatever tile the Overlord chooses to activate he spends the corresponding energy cost (moving his energy gems from the available pool to the spent pool) then takes the tile out and moves it to the end of the sliding track: If he wants to activate this unit again it will cost him 8 gems because the unit is now on position 8. The Overlord can activate a maximum of two tiles and he regains only a certain number of gems each turn (depending on the scenario).In a typical scenario the heroes need to accomplish something and the Overlord wins if the heroes fail to reach their objective — but in some scenarios the Overlord has his own objectives and the Heroes win if they prevent him from accomplishing his goal.
Description from the publisher:Blood Bowl is a game of Fantasy Football. The basic game features a match between two teams drawn from a number of fantasy archetypes playing a warped version of American Football.The Blood Bowl boxed game contains two teams: Humans an all-round team who are flexible enough to adapt to any style of play or Orcs who make up in brute force what they lack in finesse. The teams are represented by coloured plastic miniatures and push-fit assembly is required before use. The game is expandable and additional rules and teams will be made available through expansion sets and supplements.Actions in the game are resolved through the use of dice. Regular six-sided dice are used to make tests in a number of cases such as when a player attempts to pick up the ball pass it catch it or dodge past an enemy player. Custom dice are used when one player wishes to Block another using graphics to represent each of the different (but all violent) potential outcomes.The rules in this edition of Blood Bowl are almost identical to those found in the Competition Rules Pack which was the culmination of several years of development of the Blood Bowl Living Rulebook. This has resulted in an incredibly well-honed game which sees regular competition play around the world. In fact each team takes turns moving blocking and advancing the football down the field. The game comes with plastic miniatures.This game is a part of the Blood Bowl Series.

Star Trek: Fleet Captains designed for two or four players is set in the Prime Universe of STAR TREK (as seen in the various TV series and movies up to Star Trek: Nemesis) and is more adversarial in nature when compared to Star Trek: Expeditions. Each player takes the role of a faction (or race) from the universe. In the base game the choices are Klingons and Federation. Each faction has a number of ships (on Clix dials similar to the Heroclix line of components) of varying ability and with a corresponding “size.” Fleets of ships are drafted to a given size total which reflects the victory points required to win. Thus larger fleet sizes lead to higher point (and longer games).Players then “shuffle build” a deck of command cards. Choosing four decks from a set of ten decks per faction. Each deck has a unique flavor or theme with corresponding major characters. For instance the Klingons have a deck themed around larger ships and imperial domination and Gowron is a central character. The four decks chosen will help to set the player’s strategy for winning. The ships chosen have physical stats like weapons shields engines and sensors. They also have mission totals for science influence and combat missions. These determine the kinds and numbers of each kind of mission cards the player draws to form a mission deck. Completing missions gains the player points which will win them the game. Missions could be as simple as damage an opposing ship that is larger than your own (combat) to as complex as claiming the spaces connecting your command post to your opponents (influence). Thus a player’s chosen ships sets the types of missions they will need to earn points and the deck they build determines the way they will complete missions.Points can also be earned for non-mission actions such as destroying a ship or building a starbase.The game itself plays out on a randomly built board of hex cards called sectors that start the game unexplored. As each ship progresses through the sector the cards are turned face up revealing what is in that part of the sector (a Class-M planet a Class-J Nebula empty space etc...). There are additionally random events that can occur when exploring which usually correspond to a single episode of a series (for instance one encounter is “trouble with tribbles.” Some of these encounters also give victory points.Overall the game can best be thought of as playing out an entire season of Star Trek with the conflict between players representing the major story arc and the turns missions and random encounters representing individual episodes. Players will move their ships explore space complete missions play cards to upgrade their ships (and staff them with famous and not so famous crewmembers) or boost their stats in combat. Combat while important is not the sole path to victory with the mission cards being the primary factor (some of which will encourage combat). The style of game will depend heavily on individual player decisions but no matter what it will feel like Star Trek.

In The Others the world stands on the brink of apocalypse as the fanatics of the Hell Club have summoned the 7 Deadly Sins to lay waste to our reality. Slowly the Others have creeped into our lives corrupting society from within. The city of Haven is the key to their invasion but it will not go down without a fight thanks to the actions of the paranormal organization known as F.A.I.T.H. (Federal Authority for the Interdiction of Transdimensional Horrors). Each session of The Others is played with one player controlling the forces of a single Sin against the other players who control a team of 7 FAITH heroes. The heroes cooperate to survive the Sin's attacks and accomplish the missions set before them while the Sin attempts to thwart the heroes in all ways (preferably by destroying them).The heroes are divided into different classes each specialized in a different aspect of the game. Leaders are good at helping the other members of the team. Bruisers are excellent melee fighters. Snipers are experts at using guns to put down monsters from a distance. And Fixers have the resourcefulness and knowledge of the occult necessary to resolve supernatural crises that spread through the city. Each hero also has their own stats and unique abilities that set them apart from all others. Knowing when to bring in the right reinforcement can be key to FAITH’s victory.Corruption is one of the main mechanics of the game. It is both a way for the Sin to consume heroes and a way for heroes to accomplish amazing feats they wouldn’t be capable of normally. Taking corruption grants heroes powerful bonuses (as long as they keep taking corruption) but when they become fully corrupted their darkest secrets may come back to haunt them and tear the team from within or their flesh might simply succumb to the sinful influences.The Sins player on the other hand has access to the different monsters of each Sin including Abominations a Controller and the terrifying Avatar of Sin! These monsters can attempt to destroy the heroes or simply hinder their progress on their missions. Each Sin provides the Sins Player with a different deck of Sins cards that can be played at different times to surprise players with different effects often tied to the strategy of each Sin. Yes because each Sin taints the game with an overarching mechanic that is always in effect. For example Pride punishes prideful heroes that venture into the streets on their own while Sloth punishes heroes who try to move quickly across the board. Heroes will need to learn to deal with the different influence of each Sin which will always stand between them and their mission.The Sins are also aided by Acolytes with each session using a different type. These lowly corrupted servants of darkness can fight and stand in the way of heroes but they also have a once per round special ability that reflects their previous lives. For example corrupted hobos take equipment from heroes corrupted nuns corrupt the city districts and corrupted doctors keep heroes from healing.There are 7 different stories that players can embark on for each session of The Others. Each of them brings different special rules different dynamics and a unique system of branching missions the heroes need to accomplish in order to be victorious. There are Terror stories which are more straightforward focusing on action and combat; Corruption stories revolve around the Corruption spreading through the city and the heroes themselves; and Redemption stories rely on saving the city and the few innocents that remain. Each story can be played on a different map setup which further makes the dynamic of each session unique.The board used in The Others is made up of several tiles each depicting a different city district and different configurations of streets. As the city of Haven still belongs to humanity and it’s the Sins that are attempting to take it over the heroes can use it to get different benefits each district offers them. For example they can go to the hospital to heal wounds to the museum to get rid of corruption to the RavenCorp tower to get new equipment or to the police station to call in an orbital strike. What districts are available on each map and their location can greatly change the dynamic of the game.As the game progresses and depending on how badly the heroes fare against storyline plot twists and developments the Apocalypse Track will advance making the Sins gradually stronger and more terrifying. Apocalypse cards tied to the type of story being played (Terror Corruption or Redemption) introduce new twists and challenges to the game even bringing in the members of the Hell Club themselves!Heroes will die. Either in noble sacrifice torn apart by claws and tentacles or consumed by the corruption welling up in their souls. The question is whether the FAITH team will manage to fulfill their final mission in time or whether the Sins will reign supreme over humanity.—description from the publisher

These are provided in coloured plastic and clip together so you can quite literally be playing with them within minutes of opening the box with no glue or paint needed! (Though they do look great painted and your dice will roll better – probably.)The game is played using unique dice and card decks and these will to an extent be unique to each faction. Both decks of cards used in the game are fully customisable – meaning you can choose to create all manner of combinations of overlapping abilities to use and objectives to achieve. This can be a really rewarding part of the game – and means that even the same faction can be played in wildly different ways. We’re expecting to see all sorts of combinations tried out at game stores clubs and in tournaments.—description from the publisher

If the hero gets damaged energy moves to a wound area and if they lose all of their energy then they're out of action for a while to recover their strength. Each hero has differing strengths for their abilities and these strengths are represented by colored dice with different values; the more energy a hero spends on an ability the more dice of that color they can roll.The villain controls a team of henchmen and iconic villains of the Batman universe and these characters are represented by tiles on their command board with the characters costing 1 2 3 etc. energy to activate as you move left to right down the line. Once a character is activated they move to the end of the line boosting their cost to the maximum value should you want to use them again immediately and decreasing the cost of the other tiles.The game-play in Batman: Gotham City Chronicles is based on that of Conan with revisions to character abilities the addition of two different types of dice (w/ five types total) and a modified two-player set-up the Versus Mode in which each player has a command board and their own team of tiles that they can draft with heroes facing off against villains.See also Batman: Gotham City Chronicles - The Roleplaying Game

She briefly considered moving but as that would require effort she instead just placed an enchantment on her front door: Anyone who attempts to open it becomes miniaturized and therefore is no longer a problem.Your character is one such wannabe hero. In an ill-advised attempt at fame they try to visit Hail and poof. Now they're the size of a mouse and have entered an entirely different realm of lawlessness and self-preservation. They must find a new way into the Crooked Bone to convince Hail to return them to their previous size.Each scenario is a single card pitting one mercenary against a handful of enemies with simplified actions and AI. Each mercenary has a hand of just four double-sided cards but they can be used twice — both the front and the back — before they are discarded. Attacks are resolved using a die in conjunction with a modifier table and both the table and the mercenary ability cards can be improved as you level up throughout the campaign.—description from the publisher

![Level 7 [Omega Protocol]](https://juego-fotos.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/137649.jpg)
Game description from the publisher:LEVEL 7 [Omega Protocol] picks up right where LEVEL 7 [ESCAPE] left off. The Subterra Bravo facility has been thrown into chaos through the players actions in [ESCAPE] and now the government has sent in a top-secret highly-trained special forces unit to shut down the facility and eliminate everything remaining in the base.In [Omega Protocol] one player takes on the role of the Overseer while two to five other players take on the role of the elite Special Ops team. The Overseer's role in the game is to control all of the alien denizens and challenges the players face throughout the game. The players are trying to achieve specific scenario-based objectives by exploring a map that's laid out at the start and fighting off the hordes of aliens that the Overseer sends their way.Gameplay is based around adrenaline which is the currency that the soldier players use to perform actions. They generate adrenaline to do things such as move attack and perform special actions like activating an objective space. That generation also has a negative effect for them as that adrenaline transfers to the Overseer player who then uses it to spawn aliens create new threats and hurt the soldiers' chance of success during the scenario. The more actions the Special Ops players take the more resources the Overseer player has to work with.Characters in [Omega Protocol] are represented by miniatures and each Special Ops and alien character has different attributes powers and customizable skills and equipment.

In a dark and claustrophobic deep sea mining site the uncovering of a mysterious “Sphere” is dragging everyone nearby into the endless madness. The fears deep within one’s mind are amplified and transformed into horrifying monsters from other dimensions torturing one's body and testing their sanity. Only those with extraordinary will and conviction can escape its devastating grasp. Deep Madness is a fully cooperative board game for 1-6 players with 66 amazingly detailed miniatures depicting a sci-fi horror world inspired by Lovecraft’s work and the Alien series. In the game players assume the roles of investigators venturing into the seemingly empty yet perilous deep sea mining site to find out the truth behind the lost contact event. Unimaginable horror and madness from the dark fear within is waiting.Deep Madness is based on multiple scenarios from a continuous storyline. Each scenario has its own unique board setup rules special effects and goals. From resolving fatal crises to struggling with overwhelming bosses the investigators will face various quests filled with strategical decisions and fierce combat. With each scenario achieved they are one step closer to the truth but also one step deeper into the world of madness. Each scenario of the game plays in a limited number of game rounds if the investigators fail to achieve the goals before the last round ends the game is lost and everyone is consumed. Each game round consists of 4 phases: Devour Phase Spawn Phase Activation Phase and Refresh Phase.In Devour Phase the Devour Marker progresses one step forward along the Devour Track indicating the world going deeper into madness. As the Devour Marker progressing more and more rooms (map tiles) are flipped to their madness side. These rooms will spawn monsters and provide various nasty effects to hinder the investigators or to boost the monsters.In Spawn Phase different types of monsters with unique abilities are spawned in the flipped rooms. Monsters do not show their existence in fixed locations they could be spawned right next to the investigators if they ventured carelessly.Activation Phase is the core of the game the investigators and the monsters take turns to act alternately. Monsters do not wait for all investigators to finish their turns like in other cooperative games but do act between them so careless planning would put the investigators who are later in the turn order into grave danger facing fatal attacks before they had a chance to act.In Refresh Phase some maintenances are performed and some special effects are resolved.In each investigator’s turn it is crucial that the player chooses 3 actions to take wisely. Each kind of action has its own value and every single decision could be life and death in Deep Madness. Unfortunately the correct decision is rarely obvious. Moving attacking searching exchanging items locking the doors and recovering sanity are the basic actions. Additionally each investigator also has his/her own unique and irreplaceable abilities to activate. Different combinations of investigators provide distinctive strategies and game experiences.Monster acts according to its own action pool during its turn. In Deep Madness monsters are highly characteristic not just in stats but also in abilities and behaviors. Different combinations of monsters provide unique challenges. And due to the intertwined activation mechanism even different turn orders of the monsters make each game session different. However no matter how the monsters setup is Deep Madness will be a very challenging game even death could be a strategy.In the game investigators battle the horrific monsters survive the harsh crises and above all save their own minds from the devouring of madness. They are given many chances to consume their own sanity to activate their abilities to use the effects of items to reroll the dice and etc. However they are vulnerable when the sanity is low. After an investigator with insanity tokens manages to kill a monster the monster will corrupt his/her mind by permanently flipping the insanity tokens into madness tokens. As the madness token cumulates horror haunts the investigator by resolving Madness Cards and each of them has unique negative effect and terrifying flavor text.

U-BOOT: The Board Game is a fully cooperative real-time tabletop game of WW2 submarine warfare designed by Iron Wolf Studio. It allows 1 to 4 players to assume the roles of the Captain the First Officer the Navigator and the Chief Engineer on board of a type VIIC U-boat. The game is driven by a companion app allowing for an unprecedented level of realism as well as a challenging enemy A.I. which will push your skills to the limit. The action unfolds both on the strategic and the tactical scale always demanding teamwork efficient crew management and quick situation assessment.Each of the four roles entails unique responsibilities encouraging the players to develop an efficient communication scheme and use genuine navy terminology. The Captain oversees the completion of mission objectives supervises action point costs and is responsible for the crew's morale. The First Officer operates the companion app manages the flow of information and takes care of the crew's health. The Navigator steers the submarine by setting its course and depth but also updates all the essential information on the strategic and the tactical map. Last but not least is the Chief Engineer who is responsible for the engines repairs as well as other mechanical implements on board of the U-boat (such as the ballast tanks weapon systems etc.). At the same time each of the four officers commands his own group of crew members by issuing orders within a worker placement system.The idea behind the companion app is to deliver a real-time realistic gameplay experience. To that end the app features the most essential instruments of the u-boat (such as the periscope the hydrophone and the Enigma among others). Rest assured however that the vast majority of gameplay traditionally takes place on the game board with the instruments revealing otherwise hidden information and the app requiring only certain data (such as the U-boat's course speed etc.) in order to generate an adequate A.I. response of the enemy force. It is also responsible for all the ambient sound effects thus immersing the players even deeper into the claustrophobic interiors of the type VII C. But fear not! With open & play being a design priority you will be launching torpedoes in no time thanks to streamlined rules video tutorials and variable difficulty levels for each player.From quick skirmishes through full combat missions to an all-out campaign UBOOT: TBG will let you conduct submarine operations in all major naval theatres of the 2nd World War. Success of these missions hinges on the completion of various tasks delegated to the crew by the Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine (German Navy HQ) which include patrol duty ambushing convoys laying mines in enemy waters and many more! Each mission will require the players to adopt various strategies and different play styles in order to successfully complete it and the companion app will generate a detailed report at the end of each game session (evaluating player efforts and possibly awarding decorations promotions etc.). That is if the U-boat makes it back home...The stage is set and the crew is awaiting your orders. Do you have what it takes to command the Kriegsmarine's finest? Hunt or be hunted as you brave the stormy seas of the greatest conflict in history!—description from the creator

Galaxy Defenders is a sci-fi cooperative tactical battle wargame in which 1-5 players fight together against an oncoming alien menace. Each player takes control of one or more agents with unique powers to defend the planet from the alien invasion. Gameplay revolves around a tactical combat system using custom ten-sided dice. Each player sequentially plays his Agent turn and then one Aliens turn. Players carry out their turns [agent and aliens] in clockwise order until the last player finishes his Aliens turn. Once done the game passes to the Event phase that will bring the players to the next round. Players may choose up to five agents:There is no Alien player in Galaxy Defenders; instead the aliens are controlled by the game system itself through an artificial intelligence system based on two types of cards:The combination of a unique AI for each alien species and the uncertainty about alien activation in a turn provides a realistic simulation of the chaos of battle and a sophisticated challenge for the players. Since having more agents brings more alien activations for the aliens the turn structure allows the level of difficulty to scale dynamically based on the number of agents in play. If agents die during the game the system recalibrates the difficulty to a reasonable and enjoyable level so you still have a chance to complete the mission.The battle for Earth will be carried out in a series of twelve missions organized in a completely story-driven campaign. Mission events influence future games in two different ways:With the downloadable Galaxy Defenders: Alien Mind variant you can transform the game into a competitive affair with one player becoming the alien mastermind and controlling the alien army and the card in play attempting to thwart each mission undertaken by the Agents. To do this the alien player completes his own game objectives obtaining new alien signals that can be teleported onto the battlefield. This variant which allows for play with up to six players can be used in a single mission or for a whole campaign of Galaxy Defenders. Using Alien Mind may increase the game difficulty and is suggested only for expert players.

Who will unlock that achievement and claim the bonus?On your turn you choose one action:1) Move: Advance along the path toward the Demon Lord and engage some demon minions to fight later. 2) Fight: Fight all the demon minions you’ve engaged. If you kill any demons upgrade Skills and acquire Items. 3) Rest: Equip some of the loot you’ve won recharge the resources you use to fight and buy potions with extra Items you don't need.The final battle with the Demon Lord is tough. Even surviving can feel rewarding. But only the player with the most health at the end of the boss fight can truly claim the glory of his defeat!
Cosmic Frog is a game of collection combat and theft on a planetary scale. Each player controls a two-mile-tall immortal invulnerable frog-like creature that exists solely to gather terrain from the Shards of Aeth the fragments of a long-ago shattered world. The First Ones seek to use the lands from the Shards to reconstruct the world of Aeth and your frogs are their terrain harvesters.At the start of the game your frogs descend from the Aether the cosmic sea between the worlds onto a terrain-rich Shard of Aeth. Once on the Shard you harvest land and store it in your massive gullet. When your gullet is sufficiently full you leap into the Aether and disgorge your gullet contents into your inter-dimensional vault for permanent storage then return to the Shard to collect more land. Although your frogs' collective mission is to gather as much land as possible for the First Ones your private goal is to prove yourself to be the greatest of their harvesters by delivering to them the most valuable vault. To do this you have to fill your vault strategically in a manner that both maximizes linear sets of identical lands and maximizes the diversity of lands in your vault at the end of the game.Throughout the game you're free to keep to yourself and focus on harvesting at your own pace...or you may attack other frogs and try to take lands directly from their gullets. You may even raid another frog's vault and steal the lands they have gathered if they have been knocked into the dreaded Outer Dimensions. As you are all immortal and invulnerable no frog is ever wounded or killed — just irritated and inconvenienced.But don't ever get too comfortable with your carefully crafted plans as the Aether is a chaotic and unstable place. Waves of Aether Flux will prompt you to mutate and you may have to change your strategy in accordance with your new powers. And Splinters of Aeth tiny slivers of the old world that swirl madly about in the Aether will periodically fall from their orbit and crash into the Shard destroying large areas of terrain and blasting apart the very Shard itself!The game ends when the Shard is stripped of all harvestable land or when a Splinter shatters it. When the game ends the player with the highest valued vault wins and the frogs move to the next Shard to gather more land for the First Ones...—description from the publisher

Time of Legends: Joan of Arc is set amid the tumult of the 100 Years War when kings and princes struggle for the throne of France. This is the age of knights and squires where chivalry is often spoken of but rarely practiced. It is a time of both religion and superstition. Educated clerics fervently believe that angels guard the pious and demons scourge the wicked while the simpler folk watch the night for signs of werewolves and dragons. The game assumes that all of these are real.Joan of Arc is a story-driven board game that uses finely-sculpted miniatures and 3D scenery to set the scene for a game of cunning and skill (and a little luck). The game is a combination of interwoven card play resource management and position on the board. You will need to master all three to beat the best opponents. Getting your men into the right position and heading off your enemy will be no use if you cannot muster the cards and other resources to make the most of it. Joan of Arc allows a huge amount of freedom in your actions. In every turn you can choose to spend or save resources and when you come to activate a unit you can choose between combat interrogation search exploration prayers and other actions. So this turn should you level up a hero or spend that resource to buy a re-roll? Take extra actions now or save them for later? Double-move that cavalry or question the old woman in the woods? When and how to act are decisions you must make based on your objectives and the situation on the board. And what is the best decision one turn may be very different in the next.Players take the role of the various factions in the war or of some of the supernatural creatures that have emerged from the shadows. The most famous heroes and heroines of the war are all here: the Black Prince the Dauphin Falstaff and of course Joan of Arc herself. Each game is a unique scenario with its own map assembled from the gaming tiles and a specified set of heroes and followers to achieve the scenario’s objectives. Each scenario has its own victory conditions often different for each side. In one game you may be an inquisitor seeking out a werewolf hidden among the peasantry; in another you may be a victorious raiding party desperately fighting your way through an ambush so you can return to the safety of your castle.Scenarios range from small affairs with a few models and simplified role-play elements to full battles with dozens of knights archers and men-at-arms. All scenarios typically play in under an hour. The game also includes a battle mode to fight out conflicts between armies of your choosing.—description from the publisher

These heroes forged unbreakable alliances in search of knowledge treasure and glory. Rival adventuring parties would often descend into the same dungeon and these companies fought one another as fiercely as they battled the monsters that lurked behind every dark corner. These were daring times when nothing in the world was considered more sacred than the oath that bound those who shared the dangers of the pit together. This was the age of the Dungeon Alliance.Dungeon Alliance is a deck-building dungeon-crawling miniatures adventure game that allows players to send 1-4 different teams of adventurers into perilous dungeons in search of experience and treasure. At the start of the game each player drafts their own team of four heroes (from the 17 included in the game) and uses tactical movement and card play to overcome the dungeon's monsters and treasures. Each player starts with a unique twelve-card starting deck that includes the starting cards from all four of their heroes.Rival teams may compete with one another to slay monsters or even battle one another for complete domination. As each team of heroes overcomes monsters and challenges they earn experience point (XP) tokens that they can spend to purchase new cards for their alliance decks. Once spent XP tokens are flipped face down and kept until the end of the game. When the sun greets those who emerge from the pit the alliance that has accrued the most XP claims the mantle of victory.Dungeon Alliance includes rules for competitive cooperative and solo play.Microbadges:Special Articles:Dungeon Alliance StoreDungeon Alliance FAQDungeon Alliance: A Webcomic AdventureYour First Game of Dungeon Alliance: Advice for your First Steps into Darkness

The cities of the future from the crucible of civilization have become icy deserts dotted with the carcasses of skyscrapers now reduced to uninhabited rubble. Between alleys of old London bands of survivors use their abilities to explore and plunder the scarce resources that are left to sell them to the Pure Caste in exchange for food and fuel. The only ones who still have high technology the Pure Ones are the elected heirs of the old civilization. Protected by fortified citadels they manage the bands of survivors helping them in their research or putting them in competition so that they cannot ally and threaten their domains.In D.E.I. each player will control one of the four bands of Survivors and they will be competing with each other for the wealthiest loot to trade with the Pure Caste. They will have to explore London on two levels between the streets and on the roofs of the old buildings to look for the precious resources of the past era coveted by the Pure Ones: Technologies and Energy cells.Each faction will start with 8 cards a Hero and few Explorers but during the game it will be possible to acquire new action cards from London black markets building new structures such as bridges and elevators and obtaining temporary control of the hi-technological Drones that the Pure Caste will give to them.The game map is completely modular and three-dimensional so that every game of D.E.I. is always different and compelling.

They ravaged their Mother the Earth and bound Her with sorcerous chains. The moon caught fire; the sun froze. In the veins of the world her lifeblood choked to dust. The oceans boiled to miasmas that clotted the skies. Rocks fanged up from the stubble of dying forests. As She began to rot Her creatures Her children survived as best they could. Tearing at each other prowling in Her fetid hollows breeding abominations. Feasting on Her Fungi and moulds become sentient.And as the ages pass some lineages of men grow monstrous even as others diminish weaken and become easily their slaves. These higher men feed on the lesser growing in strength and hurl their tribes one upon the other in terrible truceless wars — until one tribe crushes the others into kneeling submission under a lord nameless save for his title: Tyrant!But though decayed She was not slain.

Skytear is a competitive card-driven miniatures game inspired by MOBA video games (like League of Legends) featuring 32 heroes from an original fantasy universe.Using a draft system that supplements regular deckbuilding players pick heroes from four factions in order to flexibly respond to their opponent's selections. Then using these heroes players compete to take control of the lanes and lead the minions there to assault the enemies' towers or enter the dome to take control of the outsider there. In doing so they will win one of the three victory conditions selected at the start of the game allowing for potential bluffing or feints by switching objective.Skytear is diceless instead revolving around modifiers printed on each power card. This duality of effect means deckbuilding is a nuanced issue: cards that are most beneficial when played (and likely will) come with a negative modifier reducing the effectiveness of most attacks. At the same time drafting a particular hero provides you with their associated cards meaning flexibility can be integrated into your hero selections.With two maps 32 heroes and over 65 power cards at launch Skytear is an extremely replayable tactical experience.

Defenders of The Last Stand is a post apocalyptic adventure game by Richard Launius (Arkham Horror Run Fight or Die Defenders of the Realm) and Jason Maxwell (Agents of SMERSH Mythos Tales) for 1-5 players set in the Western United States more than 50 years after nuclear war. Players take on the roles of Defenders of the last known haven for humanity called The Last Stand. Four outside clans leaders along with their followers advance toward the town and players work cooperatively to defend The Last Stand. Menacing mutants also roam the desert threatening the city's survival. The game will introduce player character mutations - your character can mutate from travel into irradiated areas. Gameplay will consist of both elements of adventure and conflict resolution and Defenders of the Last Stand will come loaded with miniatures including three large sculpted miniatures of the invading Clan leaders as well as their minions - sculpted by Chad Hoverter. The four warrior clans include raiders on bikes and in cars; Amazons on large mutated beasts; a third clan of techno savvy yet criminally insane youths; and finally a large winged creature so mutated that he has lost all traces of his old humanity.Today we discovered a fallen caravan not fifteen miles up dry road. I had been that way to visit Auntie's just recently and there weren't no caravans fallen or otherwise there before. This means the Raiders have been circling the last stand for at least the last two weeks. Pepzi asked me to stay a while in case they attack. No more scavenging for now she said. Something is brewing. The air hurts my lungs. I see shadows in the hillside. The air is more dry than usual. My lips have all but cracked off. Doc gives me salve to put on them but I tell him to keep it for the kids. New families are appearing in Stanfield. It's a good sight to see. We are finally surviving a bit and bringing kids into this world again. I'm thinking of how in the good book we are told to be multiply. It's God's will but most would say this land has been forsaken by God but I'm hoping we can start again. Me I'm hoping for the best but my bones tell me there is no best.The Last Stand was known as Stanfield before the great war. While battles raged in the cities across America and the world old-schoolers cowboys fighters and drifters came together in this desert to escape the end of the world. The desert was only the safe place and Detroit says it's where a man learns to be a man. Detroit told me that Stanfield changed its name to The Last Stand back then. Cause it was the last fighting chance for humanity. Detroit knows lots of stories. He is old and claims he was alive in those days 80 something years ago back when they played something called baseball and Nitena. I don't know what to believe from his mouth but he is a hoot to listen to. Course he has been around a long time changed by the Radiation – mutated like many folks but still as human as human can be unlike the raiders. Detroit is one of us now. He knows stuff and and we are going to fight tooth and nail against the raiders wanting to take what we worked so hard to build. Rumor is that they have merged and I reckon they will have to to capture this city. We are bonded together. Even got a little ancient technology and oil. Bad stuff maybe since it is what brought us here. We'll use it carefully. The Last Stand may be our last hope. I don't know if there are any other cities out there worth fighting for. --From the Journal of Marha Bourne Star

Based upon the stories by Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan) Solomon Kane is a narrative adventure board game featuring exceptional 35mm miniatures. It is a highly innovative co-operative game of storytelling resource management and tactical miniatures play. Players take the part of the invisible powers of good and light who aid Solomon Kane in his quest to overcome the forces of Darkness. Each player is one of the four Cardinal Virtues: Courage Prudence Temperance and Justice each with special powers that reflect their unique role.Drawing upon Howard’s famous tales of the Puritan avenger the core box allows players to tell their own versions of the Rattle of Bones Skulls in the Stars and Blue Flame of Vengeance. Expansions recreate Howard’s other Solomon Kane stories as well as adding original adventures for the hero created especially for the game.In Solomon Kane each of Howard’s tales is told as one or more Acts with each Act comprising a full game session. Shorter stories like Rattle of Bones can be completed in a single session whilst longer tales will take multiple sessions to play through.An Act is broken down into 8-10 Chapters and each Chapter has multiple possible outcomes depending upon the actions of the players. Some Chapters offer story choices whereas others see the action play out on the game board as the players work together to aid Solomon Kane in his quest.Using custom card decks and dice each Virtue can control Solomon Kane or his allies moving them around the board fighting enemies exploring locations and interrogating suspects for information. If the odds get too stacked against Solomon Kane the Virtues can even manifest directly to intervene on the board.Opposing Solomon Kane and the players is the Darkness. This twisted reflection of the Virtues is controlled by an AI deck which determines the actions of enemy miniatures thwarts the player’s best plans and competes with them to drive the story in an evil and unholy direction.The world of Solomon Kane is brought to life through the stunning artistic vision of Guillem H. Pongiluppi and game designer Jake Thornton whose ‘puppet master’ game mechanics break new ground in co-operative gameplay. With multiple versions of every single Chapter Solomon Kane is able to combine immersive storytelling with abundant replayability for a truly unique gameplay experience.Who is Solomon Kane? Solomon Kane is a dour English Puritan and redresser of wrongs. He roams the world fighting against the ungodly and evil works of men and foul magic alike. He follows no master save his conscience though that alone drives him to the ends of the Earth to fulfil his quest.All his life he has travelled aiding the weak and fighting oppression. From the bleak moors of England through the damp forests of Germany to the sweltering jungles and savannahs of Africa – even to the shores of the distant New World of America. He neither knows nor questions why is driven to do this. It simply must be done.To Solomon Kane he is the fulfiller of God’s judgment; a vessel of wrath to be emptied onto the souls of the unrighteous. To his enemies he is an implacable fury armed with flintlock and rapier and armoured in unshakeable faith. The knowledge of the rightness of his cause makes him unstoppable and gives him the ability to overcome any fiend or demon.

Guild Ball is a tactical miniatures game of skirmish soccer. Two coaches lead six players from their respective guilds in a race to 12 points--gaining 4 points for scoring a goal 2 points for taking out a regular player and 1 point for taking out a mascot (yes one of the six players on each team is a mascot). During each turn coaches alternate activating one player at a time. With a small number of models per side Guild Ball delivers great depth of strategy balancing ball control attack and defense.The strategy in Guild Ball continues with the playbook system. Attacks are resolved by rolling dice against the target's defenses but dice alone do not dictate the results of attacks. Coaches choose the results of attacks from their players' playbooks: the more successful hits an attack roll generates the more options from the playbook the coach is able to choose from. Possible results include damage tackles knock-downs pushes dodges and powerful character plays that can change the course of the game.Guild Ball is also a game of resource management: coaches must manage influence and momentum. Teams start each turn with a pool of influence. In order for a player to attack kick the ball or perform a character play the player needs influence. Coaches allocate influence to players at the start of the turn so careful planning is required. Momentum is generated by special playbook results and successful passes. Momentum allows a coach to perform special actions such as taking shots on goal healing damage or making out-of-activation dodges. Momentum remaining at the end of a turn also affects the initiative roll for the next turn.Featuring 11 unique guilds each with at least 12 players--and more guilds to be released--Guild Ball allows coaches to choose their own play style.

Description from the publisher:Step into the shoes of a hero that has been bashed and tortured by one or more of the four gangs in the game. You win by building up your hero scouting gang dens to find the baddies who wronged you then taking bloody revenge through action-packed fight sequences made up of dice based puzzles.Vengeance alternates between montage turns and fight turns. In montage turns players heal and upgrade their heroes through new abilities and items. They also go out scouting gang dens to find the bosses who wronged them and take revenge on them in the fight turn.The fight turn is the heart of the game. Players pick one of the scouted gang dens containing a boss who has wronged them and burst into the gang den to exact bloody revenge. Players gain VPs for killing the boss clearing the den from all the minions or for maximum points both. Players have three turns to do this and get out of the den in one piece.Fights are basically dice-based puzzles. In each round of the fight players roll a set of dice and decide the order in which they play the rolled results. Upgrade skills and items allow players to swap die-results for others or string together a number of results to perform enemy-slapping combos. Upgrades thus work towards mitigating the luck of the die-roll giving players more control over their Fight actions.Players score points by killing bosses who wronged them i.e. matching the figure on their vengeance card with one of the face down Boss cards attached to each den and/or by clearing all minions of a gang which matches the color of a vengeance card they have in play.At the end of the game players also score bonus victory points through three mission cards in play.

Myth Heroes are clothed in immense power able to reave all but the mightiest foes. However this power must be balanced lest the Darkness take too much notice. Players must weigh their actions against the Threat each will bring with the consequences of awakening more evil and bringing doom on the party's endeavors. And be careful they must as the Darkness is formidable and eager to snatch glory from the valiant.Heroes are controlled through an intuitive Hero Deck (videos for each Hero can be found in the Game Play Videos section below).

All those different factions are now fighting fiercely for survival as well as for world domination.TSUKUYUMI is a no-luck boardgame that demands specific strategic skills of its players. Its particular appeal lies in the clash of multifarious asymmetrical factions. At the beginning each player picks one of the five factions. The factions bring their own respective abilities units and strategies. Therefore the game changes depending on what factions meet on the battlefield.Values and abilities of the factions still don’t guarantee victory. Numerous test matches have shown: it’s the players who find new combinations and the right moments to use specific faction features who notice their fellow players’ weaknesses and use them to their own advantages. This way they shape their faction and bring the creatures and their stories to life.FACTIONS THE NOMADS are the former soldiers who were stationed on the USS Nomad an aircraft carrier that stranded in the wastelands. Armed agile and patriotic as they are the NOMADS try to claim the remains of the moon in the name of their (former) nation.THE BOARLORDS are a nation of strong and intelligent boars who enter the pacific region from the former Korean peninsula. They aim to replace the human race as dominant species - claiming more and more land by terraforming it into their rampart-like homes.THE CYBERSAMURAI use satellites supercomputers and artificial intelligence once developed in old Japan to control an army of drones fighting bots and even an orbital laser system threatening anyone who tries to plant their flag on the moon.THE DARK SEED'S nest grew in the wastelands as roaches and other insects became bigger and more intelligent under TSUKUYUMI'S influence. Their swarm grows rapidly - and thus they fight relentlessly to overwhelm adversarial units and territories by their sheer number.GAMEPLAY Each faction has its own units its own strengths and special abilities - therefore requiring a very adjusted strategy to win. After the gameboard is set up every player chooses a faction respectively. The faction boards explain in detail all special abilities and how to use them. It also specifies the factions' start set-up.According to the descending initiative order marked on the board the players install their Homezones pick three start-areas and place their units. Prior to the first round they also choose a white action card - a combination of actions they can use before the beginning of each round.Then the players gather their resources according to what their areas offer. They may use these resources to bid on the blue green and red action cards. Every phase is represented by six of those action cards marked from A to F. Every card displays a different combination of the actions that can be taken during its respective phase. The highest bid is awarded with the A-card the next one with the B-card and so on.Each round consists of the following phases: White Phase: Players use the white action card they chose to emphasize their strategy. Blue Phase: Players can rise in the initiative order and/or draw an Impact Card. Green Phase: New units are generated and resources collected. Red Phase: Units are moved adversarial areas and units may be attacked. Onis are placed moved and used for attacks.GOAL The player who gains the most Victory Points wins the game. Victory Points are earned by conquering and occupying areas and by fulfilling goals and/or the faction's respective mission.END The game ends after the number of rounds determined by the players beforehand - usually 3-4 roundsMICROBADGES Tsukuyumi fan - logo Tsukuyumi fan - moon Tsukuyumi - Boarlords fan Tsukuyumi - Cybersamurai fan Tsukuyumi - Dark Seed fan Tsukuyumi - Nomads fan Tsukuyumi - Oni fan Tsukuyumi - Kampfgruppe 03 fan Tsukuyumi - Lords of the Lost Sea fan Tsukuyumi - Fireborn fan Tsukuyumi - Children of the Lion fan

Game description from the publisher:You have been caught looting the hoard of the dreaded Drakon. For such transgression a fiery death should be the only appropriate response — but Drakon has decided to toy with you before she devours you. You and your rival heroes will each be released into the labyrinth and the first hero to discover ten gold pieces will go free with his treasure. The rest of you will satisfy the dragon's hunger.In every game of Drakon you and your opponents must fight to stay alive in the midst of the labyrinth. On your turn you can either move your hero to another room or add another piece to the labyrinth placing beneficial chambers in your own path and throwing your opponents into harm's way. But you must be cautious. The chambers of Drakon's labyrinth are filled with danger and ancient magics not to mention the dragon herself. To navigate these deadly corridors and survive you’ll need to be quick and careful.On every turn you have a crucial choice to make. You can either move forward into a new chamber or you can expand the labyrinth by playing a new chamber tile from your hand. The new chambers that you play feature unique circumstances and magical objects that you may encounter on your adventures through Drakon's lair.The majority of these chambers offer powerful effects to any hero that enters the chamber. You may gain the power to destroy any chamber in the labyrinth or call a windstorm to carry you along increasing your movement. You may even take command of a floating chamber and fly it to the other side of the labyrinth. Other chambers force more harmful effects on those heroes unlucky enough to enter. A room may cause you to lose a coin as you avoid the dangers within and any hero who hears the siren song of the magical harp is forced to move into its chamber. As you and your fellow heroes play these chambers from your hand they form a cunning maze and only the wise can find their way out.Despite the power of these chambers the central goal of your quest is to find gold: only by being the first player to claim ten gold can you escape the dungeon. Plenty of chambers allow you to find a coin or steal a coin from an opponent but the gold value of coins can vary dramatically. Your most recently stolen coin may have a value of three gold or just one. Because coins are kept face-down hiding their value you'll never know exactly how close your opponents are to victory.Six heroes are trapped within Drakon's sadistic labyrinth and each hero has his own unique abilities to help him survive. Each ability can only be used once per game though making the timing of the ability incredibly important. You may play as the sorceress and escape from a most dire situation by passing through a wall. You may play as the thief and collect the gold you need at the most opportune moment by preying on another hero. You may even play as the ranger and use a burst of speed to race across the maze when necessary. No matter which hero you play in a game of Drakon you'll need to take full advantage of your unique ability at the opportune moment if you want to grab the gold and escape from Drakon's clutches.Of course the heroes are not alone in the labyrinth. The legendary dragon also stalks the halls and chambers of the maze taunting any hero unlucky enough to encounter her. Certain chambers throughout the labyrinth allow you to move Drakon through the dungeon. If you can move Drakon into the same chamber as a hapless hero that hero is immediately sent back to the entrance chamber and loses three coins as Drakon toys with him before releasing him once more into the maze.You and your rival heroes are trapped. Your greatest threat may be Drakon or the other heroes. In this dark labyrinth only one thing can save you: your own greed. Will you ruthlessly grab gold and undermine your opponent’s schemes before escaping to victory? Or will you fail and become just another meal for the dragon? You decide your fate but only one hero can escape from Drakon!
Reichbusters: Projekt Vril is a fast and furious game with lots of weird science witty one-liners and heroic moments set during World War II. It is late December 1944 and on the face of it history has unfolded as we know it but that could be about to change.The Nazis have discovered a source of vril that has been brought back to the Reich for study. Vril is a source of energy that can control all types of matter. It can destroy like lightning or replenish life heal or cure. It is used to rend through solid matter. Its light is said to be steadier softer and healthier than that from any flammable material. It can also be used as a power source for animating mechanisms.If the Nazis work out how to harness this power it will be more potent than the atomic bomb. The secret Nazi experiments are not just a threat to the outcome of the war but to the entire world. Many different secret bunkers hold all manner of research into the properties of the enigmatic vril and we're sending you the Reichbusters on a mission to stop this research in its tracks!Players will choose from a selection of Allied Heroes and visit R&D to prepare equipment before venturing out on missions against the evil Vrilmeisters. Mission objectives will vary from mission to mission while secondary objectives could appear as the heroes explore the bunkers. Each mission will see the players facing off against more and more heinous enemies from re-animated corpses to dark experiments and from ferocious mutations gone wrong to the evil Vrilmeisters themselves.Each mission begins with the heroes infiltrating making the use of stealth hidden actions and minimising noise to make their way towards their objective undetected. Players will have to choose how long to remain quiet because time will be of the essence.Inevitably however the Nazis will discover the presence of the heroes and once the alarm is raised players need to be prepared for all hell to break loose. Once the objective has been completed the heroes must escape to report back their success however anyone left behind will be captured and unavailable in future missions if playing a campaign.Players will be able to take part in an ongoing Campaign of missions or they can set up a Raid with random maps heroes and Nazi faction to fight against.Game Play Reichbusters: Projekt Vril is a fully co-operative game so the heroes will either succeed or fail together.While remaining hidden players can choose the player order and on their turn players can take a number of actions including Moving Fighting Drawing Picking up Items & Interacting with board elements.In addition to base actions players will also have their hero specific card decks. These cards modify actions as they happen such as adding dice to attacks or making more tactical movement. The hero cards can also be used to take additional actions beyond your base actions.Each hero also comes with exciting Feats which can be used to turn the tide or secure that crucial objective right when you need to. On top of that each hero receives a number of “Heroics” at the beginning of the game. “Heroics” can be spent to automatically succeed at tests such as attacks. In desperate moments you can also use “Heroics” to prevent failed tests but this will find you running out of them fast!Throughout the game the players will find items that they can carry and use. Some of these will be things they are looking for as part of their missions. Other things will be useful stuff like medical supplies vril healing potions guns grenades etc.Custom dice will be used to decide the outcome of attacks defence and the impacts of noise created by players. Each card tells you how much noise it creates and how much Nazi activity it triggers. The more cards you play the more noise you generate and the more the Nazis act in response.The Nazi reinforcements will be relentless so the heroes need to complete their objective and escape before time runs out and they get overwhelmed by the Nazi forces and their vril tech.—description from the publisher

Steeped in epic Nordic and Celtic myths and sagas Trudvang Legends places players in the roles of legendary heroes who make their mark on a dynamic everchanging fantasy world.The game — based on the Swedish RPG Trudvang Chronicles — thrusts players into a cycle of epic sagas in which their achievements change not only the world itself but the very rules by which gods peoples and nature interact. They will quest through an interwoven series of adventure books and the results of their choices will echo through history: changing the relationships between sovereign nations usurping kings creating new waygates or even locking and unlocking parts of the map.Change in Trudvang Legends manifests physically as parts of the board actually change making the actions of previous hero generations affect future sagas. However the changes are only as permanent as long as history remembers them which makes the game endlessly replayable and even playing the same adventure book repeatedly will have a completely different feeling because the world itself has changed. Heroes following a path of destiny will even become historical fixtures as they become kings guildmasters or even gods!—description from the publisher
The Last Kingdom Board Game is game of war and politics for 2-5 players by renowned designer John D Clair that's based on the Netflix series The Last Kingdom.In this world the kingdoms of Britain are at war. Many have already fallen to the invading Danes leaving the great kingdom of Wessex standing alone and defiant under the command of King Alfred. You are one of the great commanders and politicians in this war-torn land known today as England. Both Saxon and Dane armies openly battle for dominance and it is up to you to title the scales of power. To claim these lands you will need to tread a dangerous path between both sides of the conflict. Will you betray your allies for power? What part will you play in the birth of a new nation and will you ultimately rule it all?The Last Kingdom Board Game plays over the course of two rounds during which players will perform actions to command armies to shape the course of the war. Your allegiance to the Saxons or the Danes can be firm or fickle and your score will reflect not just your prowess in battle but your political skill in maneuvering the competing forces of Britain.Each of the ten leaders offers unique benefits to your strategy and provides special cards to start your hand. At the start of each round players complete their hand by drafting cards from a deck specific to that round then the war begins in one of the five regions. Players take turns playing cards to command Saxon or Dane armies gaining affinity with the different factions or positioning their heroes and leaders to shift the tides of war. Players also have access to a rotating market of actions that are available to everyone.Alternatively players may choose to not act on their turn and instead pass to see what moves their opponents make.Once all players have passed consecutively the war in the current region will be decided by the strengths of the Saxon and Dane armies battling there. Players gain victory points if they are aligned with the winning faction and based on their level of affinity. The focus of the war then moves to the next region and the battle continues.After the fate of each of the five regions has been decided the round ends. After two rounds of play the player who has accrued the most points wins.-description from publisher
Procyon is a star 11 light-years from Earth visible in our skies as the brightest star in the Canis Minor constellation. Since the system contains the remains of a collapsed star it was bound to be rich in heavy elements ripe for industrialization. It was thus no surprise that in 2104 this was one of the first extrasolar systems to be colonized. The surprise came 3 years later when an ancient artefact belonging to a clearly alien civilization was discovered under the settlement. The observatories picked up the unmistakable tachyon radiation of a fleet slowing down from faster-than-light approaching the system - preparing for the worst case scenario the UN dispatched its entire Armada to relieve the minimal defenses the settlement holds while their scientists worked hard to decipher the alien communications and understand their newfound enemy whose name was revealed to be the Aethyn.Defence of Procyon III is a highly asymmetric game of four players in two teams: one player takes charge of the Alien space navy one the Alien ground force while the other team of the Human space navy admiral and the ground forces' commander stands in their way. The space board uses a hex board while the ground board is a point-to-point network of locations. The game is played over 12 turns using card driven low luck mechanisms that quickly unfold into a fast paced game of combat strategy - presented with countless high quality miniatures in a rich thematic world. The two commanders of a side will have to work together closely to make sure there are no weaknesses for the enemy to exploit yet their different mechanisms and different theaters will ensure each player is comfortably occupied with their own responsibilities - avoiding the alpha player issue common in team games.The game also comes with an automated opponent that takes charge of one of the side. One or two players can play cooperatively against the opponent.—description from the publisher

Have you ever dreamed of commanding a powerful army? Have you ever imagined leading troops which included elephants over the Pyrenees and the Alps to try to conquer Rome? Have you enjoyed a good historical novel dated on the old Republic of Rome and you would like to travel to that time?ONUS! Rome Vs Carthage is a war game similar to miniatures games in which both sides fight an ancient battle. The game is mainly based on the II Punic war although battles from III to I B.C centuries can be also simulated. The game concept combines both orders and events cards that makes each game different and each combat becomes unpredictable and thrilling. ONUS! can be played anywhere but to get the best gaming experience we do recommend a game area as large as possible i.e. 3.2 x 2.9 feet (100 x 90 cm).Units are represented by cards which have been scaled around a Centuria (also known as Century) or to a Maniple (also known as Manipulus) representing formations from 80 to 100 men for Infantry units 20 cavalrymen for Cavalry units or 6 Elephants. Units have their own set of traits to represent permanent attributes of the unit like Melee Combat Range Attack Defensive capacity Morale and Life and Movement capacity. This set of traits gets bonuses and penalties depending on the ongoing situation and combat engagements. Units also have their unique set of skills to represent specific abilities they can perform: from defensive formations to extremely effective techniques to attack enemies. Some of these skills need to be activated meaning only one of them can be used in an engagement while others are inherent to the units.Leadership is represented in the game by the figure of the General. A General’s token represent his HQ and its own escort. In addition to the leadership benefit a General grants bonuses to nearby units boosting the morale of the troops and providing additional benefits when they are engaged with the enemy in those bloody encounters. Both Hannibal and Scipio two well-known Generals are included in the game with their unique set of bonuses! Also Heroes Veterans and Elite units take part in Onus!ONUS! Rome Vs Carthage is played in turns composed by six different phases each:1. Activation of Units: in this phase the active player can play any number of Order cards from his hand stating what units are going to be used during the turn. 2. Movement and Charges: in this phase the active player may move all those units activated in the previous phase. Those units finishing their movement in contact with enemy units may Charge against them. 3. Range Attack: those active units able to carry out Ranged Attacks and which haven’t moved or executed a Reduced Movement may shoot enemies within its maximum range. Also special units like Skirmirsher have this skill thus they may want to use this ability. 4. Skirmishers: units having these specific skill can harass enemy units provided they haven't spent all their movement points. 5. Combat: All engagements are resolved in this phase being the active player the one choosing the order of combats. 6. Flee Movement: units fleeing continue their movement if Morale checks fail.

From the publisher:Are you ready to prove yourself Khorne’s mightiest most ruthless champion? Gorechosen gives you the chance! This brand-new boxed game from Games Workshop lets four players slug it out for brutal supremacy in brutal pit fights. The box includes four plastic multi-part Citadel miniatures: the Exalted Deathbringer of Khorne the Skullgrinder the Slaughterpriest and the Aspiring Deathbringer with Goreaxe and Skullhammer – four iconic champions of Khorne.The game itself is a simple cunning and laugh-out-loud mix of subtle strategy and straightforward brutal combat and four players can play through a game in about an hour. 24 action cards let your chosen fighter pick from a variety of painful attacks and gambits (our favourite being the humble Shove should your victim happen to be standing next to one of the fire pits present on the game’s board) while 16 injury cards present in gruesome detail the inevitable results of standing in a spiked pit with three other crazed madmen. And the fun doesn’t stop with the feuding – players who have been knocked out can still influence the game thanks to special Fate of the Slain rules. Full rules for these fighters are presented on four fighter sheets and rules for four more (with miniatures available separately from Games Workshop) are included inside the game’s rulebook.Each fighter has a unique Kill Zone which dictates what they can hit and how powerfully. The Slaughterpriest in the box for example has enormous reach forwards with his axe (because it’s flipping massive) but is weaker when to the sides. (You can imagine an overhead chop rather than a sweep around him.) Each fighter also keeps track of his wrath using the Wrath Track. Wrath can be spent to make actions and is usually accrued when fighters are wounded – injury cards which are received when combatants are damaged affect wrath in this way.Wrath also has an effect on who goes first because the angrier fighters are the more chance there is they will act first! Each turn fighters put in a number of initiative cards equal to their wrath (each player has a unique design of initiative card) then the top initiative card is turned over dictating who will act. After that player has made an action the next initiative card is turned over and so on and so forth.

This game combines elements of boardgames and miniatures in a system that is card-driven. Cards drive the impulses that take place during each turn and each player has a deck of cards made up from the troops under his or her command. Each soldier's deck of cards reflects abilities and traits-- perhaps about how well they shoot or how slowly they move or how attracted they are to things like fresh milk hot food or loot. There are some Soldiers (called Characters) included in the base game (Day of Days) which are common but the others in DoD and all that are purchased separately have unique characteristics (which all balance out to be equal according to a complex math formula which is seamless to the players). So players can only get the best out of their forces after they have learned each soldier's strengths and weaknesses. Day of Days includes moveable mapboard tiles hand-painted 20mm miniatures (by FAA) scenarios cards (several decks!) and everything needed to play. Additional Soldiers give more choices and more fun.

25th August 1703It still smells like burning gunpowder. The deck is completely full of remains of combat after the boarding.

The Doctor seems uneasy grabbing the hilt of his sword sweating a lot more than usual after listening to Harry’s tales.-Old Sanders lost his leg after having cut it himself. He escaped alive from the jaws of that shark-headed abomination in human form …- Harry was explaining at the same time he was miming with all his body doing so acting out the scene with his eyes moving all directions as if they were about to jump off his face in a way of magnifying the facts.-I would not like to lose my leg…or my arm or any other limb from my body. I appreciate every single limb and organ of mine- was murmuring the Doctor who was more and more nervous. –Do you think there will be more monstrosities like those?The conversation was interrupted by the sound of two swords pulling out from their sheath together with the cracking in the wood due to a firm step. It was the ruthless Mary Jane who with a satisfied smile in her face expressed her wish. –That’s what I'm looking for…Williams the Lookout's logbook.Yo ho ho!

One set of custom dice determines a hero's success for both defending and attacking.

“All hope abandon ye who enter here. Welcome to the grimdark. Welcome to DAYNIGHTZ™”Dawn breaks on the refuge and the sunrays bring you the feared news…the day has come the day to go back to the city. When this damned thing started you joined a group of survivors that had gathered in the woods fleeing from the city. With tremendous effort you erected a makeshift refuge to fend off the foul creatures waiting for the army to come and save you. However help is not coming you know that now. And so do the traitors who quietly left the refuge last night taking most of the remaining supplies with them. Now you are forced to go back to the city: It’s the only option if you want to survive another day…This is the starting point of DAYNIGHTZ™. You get to pick a group of up to 4 survivors each with its own character sheet that shows its attributes and abilities a backpack and some equipment. Now you’re ready to start your adventure in a nightmare world where the dead rule above the living.That depends on the game mode chosen:-> In campaign mode you will have to brave narrative missions where you will have to fight and take difficult decisions that will determine your progress culminating in one of three possible endings. -> In survival mode you will roam from city to city with complete freedom to do whatever it takes to survive another day on this hell on earth.The game is divided in 3 segments: Adventure Phase Travel Phase and Refuge Phase.1) Adventure Phase: This is the most important phase of the game. In it players will roam the streets and alleys of the city exploring locales suffering encounters and generally trying to keep a low profile while striving to achieve their goals (established by the campaign mission in the campaign mode or by their own interests in the survival mode).One of the many things that set DAYNIGHTZ™ apart from other games is that is played on TWO LEVELS. What does that mean?On one hand there is the City board consisting of a labyrinth of streets alleys surprise zones and locations. On the other hand whenever the players want to explore a certain location or due to the triggering of events and conditions players will lay out tiles to represent that particular location. Each location has its own set of tiles depending on its nature. For example the Firemen Park location consists of the parking tile the locker room tile and the offices tile.2) Travel Phase: Once the Adventure Phase is finished survivors will have to trudge back to their refuge with their meager loot. In this phase survivors will have to face different situations like zombie encounters coming across abandoned structures (farms etc) and being assaulted by other survivor groups.3) Refuge Phase: This is a management phase where survivors will have to handle upgrade and defend their base. While in the refuge survivors can do a lot of stuff: recover from their wounds/infections level up stock supplies farm food upgrade the refuge’s defenses…The refuge though will be attacked regularly by either roamer’s packs or other survivor groups who can also steal and sabotage your base. That is more likely to happen if you’re away for extended periods so try to do your city supply runs as fast as possible…DAYNIGHTZ™ is based on a double profile system for both the zombies and the survivors: during the day zombies use their worse profile while during the night zombie use their better profile and survivors will use their worse profile unless they’re equipped with a light source…which are obviously very scarce and run out very fast! The day and night cycle is controlled through a timetable located on the City board.On top of that other elements can make the brave survivor’s life even more difficult:- Threat Counter: Consists of a counter that increases as a result of diverse things happening like survivors making noise environmental effects zombies amassing etc. The higher the Threat counter the higher the risk the survivors are taking by staying in the city.- Threat Encounters: Each end of turn you will verify the conditions stated in a card. If you meet the conditions you will suffer a Threat encounter. That might not happen very frequently but…beware when it does happen!- The Hunter: The Hunter is the most dangerous zombie in the game. Luckily it only appears at night; unfortunately when it appears it will attack all the survivors who are out in the open (in streets and alleys). So keep this in mind: you don’t want to be wandering around in the open at night!- Survivor’s health and stress: DAYNIGHTZ™ is a very realistic game. Thus the more wounded your survivor is the more difficult it will be for him/her to accomplish actions (in combat or out of it). Also your survivor will be able to do less actions the more wounded he/she is. Stress is also key as your survivor will be affected by events depending on their stress level which can also impact on their attribute checks.- Infection: Survivors can get infected when wounded by a zombies while searching corpses or by other special effects. Once infected the disease will deteriorate the survivor and if not treated will end up killing him/her. Of course the infection will be more easily neutered in its early stages; the more you wait the harder it will be to remove it. While infected your survivor will periodically succumb to its effects which can make them bleed make them slower etc.To help them deal with the situations that they will find themselves in the survivors can use a lot of items that they will find in their city wanderings. However all said items will either need consumables in order to function or will wear away with use…The players will also encounter other survivors and animals during their travels which depending on the decisions previously taken and the success in the encounters can join their group as allies. Allies can give a series of bonuses to the survivors but will not remain with them forever: allies have their own loyalty system which depends on the actions taken by the players. The way you treat them will determine how they treat you!All the points above plus others that you will discover during gameplay set DAYNIGHTZ™ apart from other zombie-themed games. We have worked really hard to achieve an immersive experience exploring the dark themes of the zombie apocalypse and we welcome you.PS: If you want to keep with all the info about the game you can follow us in:

As the many planes of existence turn and churn occasionally worlds come into alignment. For brief moments in the multiverse's timescale these Conjunctions allow objects to slip from one world to another sometimes unnoticed sometimes causing chaos.One such Conjunction occurred between Earth and Neemoss during the Dark Ages. Two dimensions could not be more different. Physics in this alternate plane is more akin to magic and its corrupting effects create worlds of monsters and cruelty. When items from Neemoss appear on Earth they are still imbued with their magical essence which is soon discovered by healers alchemists fakirs and all manner of snake-oil peddlers. But things become decidedly worse when the Conjunction strengthens and the first Witches from Neemoss cross into our plane of existence.Help the Heroes master their newfound magical powers as they defend their lands from the malevolent Witches and the disciples they summon. Or control the Witches as they complete their rituals to ravage the Earth!Dark Rituals: Malleus Maleficarum is an asymmetric “One vs Many” miniatures board game for 2 to 5 players with an expansion for a solo mode where one player controls the Witch Master. In one vs many a team of people control a small band of Heroes defending villagers from a single player controlling the vile Forces of Evil. All players manage a pool of stamina that is used to pay for their character’s actions. Game play is dynamic with little downtime: turns alternate between the two forces with a player on each side taking one or two actions each turn so long as they still have stamina.Play is organized around scenarios with unique objectives. The scenarios can be linked into a longer campaign or played individually if your group is more casual. Story driven scenarios game mechanics detailed miniatures and lush modular boards bring the game world to life.Can you use the magic of Neemoss to defeat the invading horde? Or will you complete your Dark Rituals to summon the ultimate evil?—description from designer

Hope is fading as the dead drive out the living. There’s nowhere left to run and all that’s left is survival. There is no rescue party waiting no help from kind strangers...in the world of The Walking Dead there is no sanctuary…The Walking Dead: No Sanctuary is a cooperative board game of desperate survival set in the world of the popular AMC television series. Designed by Adam and Brady Sadler (Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game) No Sanctuary puts players in the roles of iconic survivors from The Walking Dead working together against desperate odds as they navigate a variety of scenarios. Whether the survivors are scavenging for supplies fighting off waves of the dead or even standing toe-to-toe with the living the group must find a way to work together even when its members’ interests may be at odds.No Sanctuary features a unique leadership mechanic in which players take turns assuming the role of the group’s leader. Each turn the leader must choose the group’s approach by drawing two event cards and choosing one. Since players cannot discuss this decision the pressure is on the leader and the leader alone will pay the price if the group is unable to follow the approach for the turn. Make enough bad decisions and the leader may have to relinquish his role and let the next survivor take charge of the group.Each survivor in No Sanctuary comes with a unique deck of cards to represent their special actions and abilities as well as their flaws. This deck not only drives each survivor’s playstyle but it also serves their health so hand management is crucial to surviving each scenario. Equally important as staying alive group morale is an essential part of the game. Many game effects will cause morale to drop and if it reaches zero the players lose the game. Maintaining the group’s tenuous psychological stability is just as important as staying alive!With its unique gameplay and innovative leadership mechanic No Sanctuary offers players a deep and engaging way to experience their favorite episodes of The Walking Dead and even explore beyond the show’s storylines!

Warhammer Age of Sigmar is more than a game – it’s a hobby. Build armies of plastic warriors drawn from the many warring factions that inhabit the Mortal Realms paint your models to personalise your collection and take them to the tabletop to play fast-paced games of strategy and action that will allow you to tell your own stories within the Age of Sigmar.The new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar features the most comprehensive look at the core rules since the first Generals Handbook and like those changes the new ones will have an equally huge impact on the tabletop.Artefacts of the Realms The Mortal Realms are enormous and the factions that fight among them are characterised as much by which of the realms they hail from as by their Grand Alliance. Previously we’ve seen this represented largely through creative paint jobs and appropriate basing with some hobbyists using clever conversions to identify where their force comes from. Now in the new edition you’ll be able to represent where your army hails from with 84 new magic items. When you’re writing your army list you have the option to pick a Realm for your army to be from. As well as providing you with loads of opportunities for roleplaying (not to mention painting and converting) you’ll be able to replace one of your normal Artefact picks with a special artefact from your chosen realm.Battling in the Realms The new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar turns the Mortal Realms into rich backdrops for all of your battles. These aren’t just optional expansions but a core part of the game. Each of the Mortal Realms has a set of unique rules that create unusual challenges and opportunities for the armies fighting in them. Firstly each realm has a command ability apart from Shyish which has two and Ghur which has wandering feral monsters instead. Available to every Hero fighting in that realm these abilities ensure that your army fights in a thematically appropriate way for the realm it’s in. Secondly each Realm has a set of Realmscape Features – a random in-game effect that’ll often have a significant impact on how your game will go. Last but not least each of the Mortal Realms has a massive selection of spells associated with it representing the unique powers that Wizards are able to harness. Each realm has seven spells ALL of which will be available to ANY Wizard fighting in that realm. Finally choosing a Realm has a range of impacts on certain warscrolls. Each endless spell for example is more powerful when cast in its associated realm.Command Abilities and Command Points There are loads of awesome command abilities in Warhammer Age of Sigmar but in the previous edition some would almost never see play because they belonged to models who weren’t being used as generals. In the new edition every Hero can contribute and use their command ability whether they’re your general or not. There’s a twist however – to use any of your command abilities you’ll need a new resource known as command points. Command points represent the tactical cohesion of your forces – you’ll receive one to add to your pool every turn and you’ll get an additional point at the beginning of the game per warscroll battalion you’ve used. That’s not all! There are now three command abilities every single army and every single general can use – a tweaked Inspiring Presence At the Double and Forward to Victory.Endless Spells Magic is changing in the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar offering you something never seen on our tables before – physical sorceries with models and rules of their own. Endless spells are cast like normal spells but rather than resolving their text with a mere roll of the dice each summons a model to the table. This miniature then persists throughout the game until it’s dispelled. Endless spells are moved at the start of each battle round after determining who gets the first turn with players taking it in turns to pick a spell to move starting with the player that has the second turn that round. You’ll be able to move any Endless Spell with this move not just the ones you control representing their wild and untameable nature.Look Out Sir! With the new command ability system making Heroes more useful than ever the last thing you want is to watch a critical support character get shot off the table before they get to do anything interesting. In the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar we’ve balanced this with a new ability for Heroes that’ll make your smaller and more vulnerable characters a lot more durable at range. By keeping your heroes close to your units you’ll make them much harder for enemies to kill at range.Magic: Casting and Unbinding Magic is most interesting when each army’s magic phase is distinct and defined by the unique character of the wizards involved. To do that the new edition sees a change to two classic spells – Arcane Bolt and Mystic Shield – to offer more incentive to use the unique spells each Wizard has access to. You’ll still find these spells a valuable part of any wizard’s toolkit but they’ve been toned down in comparison to others. Secondly you can now attempt to unbind a spell at a massive 30″ range up from 18″ making unbinding much easier and also giving you a chance to deny your enemy key spells even in the first turn of the game where you may not have had a chance to move your wizards into defensive positions.Measuring and Piling In We know most people play Warhammer Age of Sigmar measuring from bases already so this is just a case of enshrining it in rules and making way for a more tactical era of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Piling in has changed to work with the new official base-to-base system to allow you to get as many models into combat as possible. Where previously you could only pile in towards the closest enemy model before having to stop now you can pile in even if you’re right next to someone – provided you don’t move any further away from the nearest enemy model. This should make large units a bit easier to use and should make surrounding enemies a bit simpler. Secondly you can’t choose not to attack with a unit anymore – the combat phase only ends when every single eligible unit has piled in and participated.Shooting in Combat Shooting in the new edition is changing slightly. While you’ll still be able to shoot whilst in combat you won’t be able to shoot out of it. This makes for a more dynamic game as far as shooting is involved. Taking a few fast-moving durable units in your army will be key for quickly occupying shooting units that’d usually play havoc with the squishier elements of your forces while defensively you’ll want to screen your key ranged troops with support troops.Summoning For Free! In the new edition summoning has been changed to work better for everyone and to properly reflect the unique character of each army that uses it. Rather than summoning units through magical spells every army that could summon units before now has a unique resource that allows them to bring fresh reinforcements onto the tabletop that fits with their army’s background. The big change for matched play though is that summoning now no longer costs reinforcement points! Instead you earn your summoned units with in-game actions: bloodshed spreading plague mastering magic and other thematic goals.Turn Priority In Warhammer Age of Sigmar the game is split into battle rounds and players roll at the beginning of each round to see who goes first. This means in effect a player may occasionally get to take two turns in a row. In the new edition the studio have added an extra level of depth choice and chance to this mechanic as well as removing some of the randomness to make for more tactical games. Previously players would roll off to determine who gets to decide who gets the first turn in each battle round with the winner getting to choose. This works in much the same way in the new edition but now if the players get a draw the player that went first in the previous battle round wins the roll.—description from the publisher

Game description from the publisher:Behind the façade of the great Gotham City lies an active underworld of criminal activity. In Batman: Gotham City Strategy Game you'll play as one of Gotham City's greatest villains – The Joker The Penguin Killer Croc or Two-Face — and lead your gang of henchmen to try to become the King of Crime in Gotham City! But beware as your hold on the city increases so does the chance of your plans being foiled by Gotham's protector – Batman!During the game players collect resources of information money and threat; threat is used to exert your rule over blocks in Gotham City and control of blocks allows you to collect income on these blocks of either information or money. Money is used for leveling and to hire henchmen who will help you rule city blocks and fight better against other villains and Batman. Information is used for leveling and moving your villain and henchmen through the city blocks. Leveling works as follows: Each villain has a combat dial with ten levels. Each click of the dial shows a requirement that you will need to advance to the next level: information money henchmen or blocks controlled. The first player to reach level 10 with his villain wins. On every even number level players will acquire special abilities unique to their villain.Each turn a player will play a Criminal Plot card which will either produce an income for the ruler of a certain block or trigger the Bat Signal which calls in Batman! When Batman moves into a block with a Villain a fight occurs using the two custom Batman dice included with the game. If Batman wins the villain and his henchmen must flee to their hideout and Batman restores order in that block of Gotham City; if the villain wins they have defeated Batman (for the time being) and Batman returns to the Batcave increasing his combat effectiveness as he plans for the next encounter.
A set of medieval miniature wargaming rules intended for 28mm miniatures but playable in any scale.Units consist of 12 foot or 6 mounted miniatures which are used to fight out skirmish battles between armies of 4-6 units per side.Units need to be activated by dice rolls which are easier to pass if you choose orders well suited to that particular troop type. For example knights will charge more easily than other troops and archers are easier to command to shoot rather than charge.The rules are simple and to some extent they abstract medieval battle in favor of easy game play.

Well to start off it’s getting top-notch production – traditional printing and binding with a faux leather cover heat stamped with the artwork and text and high-quality paper stock. The layout is being completely reworked and the book will feature a dozen pieces of new artwork by Barrett Stanley. Additionally I’m taking the chance to incorporate the character building elements (most notably the spells) from Temple of Madness into the main rulebook so that all of the character building will be in one place. I am also updating or modifying a few of the rules that I and others have been playtesting. Finally I have introduced a ‘challenge level’ for each of the scenarios in the book which increases the difficulty of each scenario. This is for those that were finding the scenarios too easy for 3 or 4 players for those who just like their games tougher or for those who might want to play the scenarios again with higher-level rangers.—description by the publisher
