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.

There's always something happening in the city that never sleeps. Maybe it's the lights maybe it's the energy or maybe it's the giant monsters trying to demolish the place!King of New York is a standalone game from designer Richard Garfield that keeps the core ideas of King of Tokyo while introducing new ways to play. As in KoT your goal is to be the first monster to collect 20 victory points (VPs) or to be the last monster standing. On your turn you roll six dice up to three times then carry out the actions on those dice. Claws cause damage to other monsters hearts heal damage to yourself and energy is stored up so that you can purchase power cards that provide unique effects not available to anyone else.What's new in King of New York is that you can now try to become a star in the big city; more specifically you can achieve Fame which nets you VPs but superstar status is fleeting so enjoy your time in the spotlight.The game board for King of New York is larger than in KoT with each monster occupying a district in the city and everyone trying to shine in Manhattan. When you attack you can displace a monster in another district whether to escape military forces or to find new smashing opportunities. Yes smashing because you can now destroy buildings and get bonuses for doing so but the more destruction you cause the more intense the military response.The monsters from King of New York can be used in KoT and vice versa but the power cards are specific to this game.Part of the King of Tokyo series.
It is a dark time for the galaxy. The Galactic Empire has consolidated its dominion through the might of the Imperial Navy. In the underworld of the Empire's most populated planets and in strongholds throughout the Outer Rim powerful gangsters rule vast criminal organizations. From the shadows those lost to the grip of the dark side of the Force scheme to bring their evil designs to bear on an already oppressed galaxy.Yet not all hope is lost. The Rebel Alliance resists the iron grip of the Empire. Smugglers and other fringe elements lend their aid to the Rebellion. And unknown to the Emperor and his dark minions of the Sith the last remnants of the noble Jedi Order work tirelessly to restore peace and order to the galaxy.Star Wars: The Card Game is a two-player card game that puts one player in command of the Rebels (light side with the factions Jedi Rebel Alliance and Smugglers And Spies) and one player in command of the Empire (dark side with the factions Sith Imperial Navy and Scum And Villainy). The Balance of the Force expansion allows multi-player games. The game is set within the time-frame of the original Star Wars trilogy.Each player has a deck of objective cards representing various missions plus a deck of player cards of units (characters vehicles droids and creatures) events enhancements and fates. Each objective is linked to a set of five player cards. Deck construction consists of choosing which objectives are to go into your objective deck then adding each of those objective's set of five player cards to your player deck. Game play consists of deploying cards to your tableau attacking your opponent's objectives defending your own objectives and committing cards to the Force Struggle.The Empire wins if the Death Star dial reaches 12 with this dial increasing by one on each dark side turn effectively putting a timer on the game. It may also be increased by winning the Force struggle destroying light side objectives and via card effects. The Rebels win by destroying three dark side objectives before the Empire wins.Contains objective sets 1-36.
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 JAWS one player takes on the role of the killer shark off Amity Island while the other 1-3 players take on the roles of Brody Hooper and Quint to hunt the shark.

The Thing is a game that mixes different mechanisms to create an experience that is as faithful as possible to that of the original film. It is a hidden role game in which one player is initially the Thing and the others players are humans. The purpose of the Thing is to infect others to prevent the survivors from escaping from the base (which can happen three different ways) or to try to escape with them by behaving as a human.In addition to these elements players also have to manage Outpost 31. On the map are the same rooms as seen in the film and each of these rooms allows players to perform a different action. Human players have to feed themselves and keep the boiler and the generator on to avoid being in the cold and dark. The Thing will try to sabotage these places to make life difficult for humans...or not trying to camouflage itself among the humans and infect them when the perfect opportunity presents itself.The goal of the game designers was to bring the same personal emotions and paranoia that the protagonists of the film experienced to the gaming table.

On a turn you draw one card and play one card using the power on that card to expose others and (possibly) knock them out of the round. If you're the final player active in the round or the player with the highest card when the deck runs out then you score a point. In LL: The Hobbit The One Ring does nothing during play but it counts as a #7 when the game ends possibly leading to a tie should someone else hold Bilbo.In addition to the one extra card LL: The Hobbit differs from the original game in that the Baron (#3) is represented by two separate cards: Tauriel and Legolas. When you use an elf's power to compare cards Tauriel knocks out the player with the higher valued card while Legolas targets the lower valued card.

스플렌더: Pokémon plays much like the original Splendor game but with special rules based on Pokémon.On your turn you may (1) collect Pokéballs (which come in five colors) or (2) catch a Pokémon or (3) reserve a Pokémon. If you collect Pokéballs you take either three different colors of Pokéballs or two Pokéballs of the same color (as long as four are available). If you catch a Pokémon you pay its cost in Pokéballs then add it to your playing area. If you reserve a Pokémon — in order to make sure you get it or why not your opponents don't get it — you place it in front of you face down for later catching; this costs you a round but you also get a Master Ball which you can later use as a Pokéball of any color. Each Pokémon you have caught gives you a permanent Pokéball that you can use toward catching all future Pokémon meaning as you catch more Pokémon it becomes easier to catch the ones that are more expensive and worth more points.When a player has 18 or more points in their collection you complete the final round then whoever has the most points wins.

Description from the publisher:Carcassonne: Star Wars combines the exciting adventures of the Star Wars universe with the gameplay of Carcassonne with the known rules of the game being simplified through clever changes that bring an entirely new feel to the game.This is similar to Carcassonne but with Roads replaced with Trading Routes and claimed by Merchants instead of Robbers Cities replaced with Asteroid Fields and claimed by Explorers instead of Knights and Cloisters replaced with Planets and claimed by Conquerers instead of Monks. There is no farming equivalent. Faction symbols (Empire Rebel Alliance and Bounty Hunters) provide scoring bonuses regardless of what faction your Meeples belong to. Majority control is determined by dice rolling with the highest result rather than the sum determining the winner although tiebreaks and defeats still provide some points. A player receives dice equal to the number of his Meeples involved in the majority control plus an additional one for using his large Meeple and one for any matching Faction symbols but this is always capped at three dice. One notable change is that Planets can be conquered by placing tiles adjacent to the Planet tile where the player now has the options of placing a Meeple on the adjacent Planet tile or on the tile he placed.There is also a four player team variant where it is the two Empire colours (black/Darth Vader and white/Storm Troopers) versus the two Rebel Alliance colours (red/Luke Skywalker and green/Yoda). Orange/Boba Fett is not used.

Cards are allies items effects and conditions. You need to use your cards to fulfill your unique win condition.One of the actions allows you to choose another player draw two cards from that player's fate deck then play one of them on that player's board covering two of the four action spaces on one of that player's locations. The fate deck contains heroes items and effects from that villain's movie and these cards allow other players to mess with that particular villain.In more detail just like in The Incredibles Syndrome will face off against Frozone and the Parr family using his minions and advanced technology to come out ahead. To win as Syndrome players need to upgrade the Omnidroid then defeat it and all heroes in his realm. Lotso seeks to control Sunnyside Daycare by reducing four heroes' strength (utilizing a game mechanism new to Disney Villainous) and moving those heroes to the toddlers' Caterpillar Room. Finally those playing as Madam Mim will need to win a wizard's duel against Merlin using Mim's Transformations to defeat Merlin's.Villainous: Bigger and Badder is playable on its own and its characters can also face off against those in the other Disney Villainous games.

In the cooperative game Legendary Encounters: The X-Files Deck Building Game you play a team of agents — choosing from among Mulder Scully Skinner Doggett and Reyes — as you investigate the X-Files and work to unravel the greater conspiracy behind them. During the game your team will play cards from their own decks — recruiting other agents uncovering evidence and fighting enemies. If you do well enough you will face the final challenge – the conspiracy’s vicious “End Game”!How to Play and Maybe Win During each game you’ll play through three “seasons” of the X-Files™ show (the game covers the first nine seasons).Each player starts the game with a deck of basic cards. At the start of your turn you’ll add a card from the Conspiracy Deck into the Shadows. It could be an Enemy an Event an Informant or even a Lead about the conspiracy. You’ll play cards from your hand to generate Attack Recruit Points and special abilities. You’ll use Attack to defeat Enemies and to reveal hidden cards in the Shadows. You’ll use Recruit Points to find and recruit new character cards in the Bureau for your deck.Whenever your deck runs out of cards you’ll shuffle your discard pile to make a new deck including all of the new characters you’ve recruited. This allows your deck to get stronger over time. But beware – your adversaries also get tougher as you go.Players must work together on their turns to find Leads and discover Evidence of the conspiracy’s End Game. The more Evidence you Collect the better your chances will be when you face the End Game. If you somehow overcome the End Game you win the game. But the conspiracy isn’t a passive participant in this game. Its End Game will have a wicked assortment of abilities and the conspiracy uses all kinds of X-Files™ to distract your team and keep the pressure on you.At the end of each turn if there are any Enemies remaining in the Field they will Strike you. If a player takes damage equal to or greater than their health they’re defeated and the team loses the game -- they can’t bear the practical and emotional loss of their colleague. However if “The End” has begun (if the End Game card has been revealed) the players will soldier on without their teammate. Once “The End” has begun either the conspiracy will succeed or a few brave agents just might save the world.Game Contents: 500 cards Playmat Full color rulebook—description from publisher

If you can thwart your opponent you claim the event bringing you closer to victory. Whether you seek to triumph through military might or use diplomacy to achieve your ends the fate of the galaxy rests in your hands.On one side of this galactic battleground are the heroes of the Rebel Alliance. Only rarely can these heroes go toe to toe with the unlimited reserves of the Imperial Navy and Army. Instead the iconic characters of Star Wars and the unsung heroes of the Rebellion must work in secret utilizing diplomacy reconnaissance and the Force to achieve their aims. Even when the Rebellion deploys its full military strength to win a battle or destroy a key Imperial emplacement they need the groundwork put in place by Alliance Special Forces.Opposing the heroic endeavors of the Rebel Alliance is the massive power of the Empire led by the twisted Emperor. The dark side of the Force is strong with the Emperor and Darth Vader and the military might of the Empire is unparalleled across the galaxy. Whether you undertake aggressive negotiations or hire bounty hunters and scum to ferret out Rebel spies making the Empire the ultimate power in the galaxy rests in your hands.To successfully win these struggles and reclaim the galaxy in Star Wars: Empire vs. Rebellion you will need to utilize all of your resources. Every turn you can increase your faction’s presence at the current event by drawing the top card from your deck and putting it into play. Each resource card you play give you more power and brings you closer to the objective value of the current event. As an example the resource card shown to the right has a resource value of five which it contributes to your total resource value while in play. Playing more resource cards may bring you closer to your target but it also makes your efforts more obvious. If your total resource value ever passes the event’s objective value your forces are discovered and your opponent claims the event.Instead of playing a new resource card you can also trigger the power of a resource card currently in play exercising the might of the Empire or the cunning of the Rebel Alliance. To activate a resource card’s power you must exhaust it by rotating it 90 degrees clockwise. Once a card is exhausted you can't use its power unless it becomes ready again. In addition an exhausted card contributes its exhausted resource value shown in the lower left-hand corner of the card while the resource is ready.

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!

The Rival Networks is a standalone two-player version of The Networks. Much of the original's gameplay is preserved but streamlined so that it plays in 30-45 minutes. You and your opponent each have a display of 3 Timeslots and at the start of the game they show your starting 3 (terrible) Shows. There is also a Goal Card showing for the current Season with 3 Goals available to hit (like winning a particular Timeslot or having more Stars on your Shows than your opponent).On your turn you will pick one new Show from a display of 3 and use it to replace one of your existing Shows which moves to your Reruns. You'll score Ratings Points for the new Show scoring higher ratings if you put the show in its correct timeslot.Next you select one Star and one Ad from their corresponding display. Stars and Ads are displayed as pairs so when you take one you must take its matching pair. These go into your Green Room.Then you may attach as many Stars as you want onto a single Show (usually the Show you got this turn but not always) as long as the Star has an icon matching the Genre of the Show. Stars add to your Show's Ratings.You'll track Ratings for each of the three Timeslots independently. There are various points on each Ratings track with Viewer icons (usually between 3-5 Ratings Points). Every time you pass one of these Viewer icons you'll score a Viewer by placing a chip into your secret bank.Ads are worth money depending on various situations - usually whether you're leading at a given Timeslot.

Once these are all out you'll see an End of Season card. A player may take this card on their turn to trigger the end of the Season when their turn is over. They won't get a Show but they'll still get a full turn otherwise (taking a Star and an Ad placing Stars on Shows and buying Network Cards with Ads).At the end of a Season the player leading in more Timeslots scores 1 Viewer for each Timeslot they're leading in; the other player draws 1 random Star. Then you'll look at the current season's Goals. The winner of each Goal gets Viewers or Stars depending on the goal.The game ends after 3 Seasons. The player with more cards in their Green Room scores 1 Viewer. Then the player with the most Viewers wins.

A haunting requires at least two people in the room to attempt a fight with it.Ghostbusters: Protect the Barrier Game — a new version of the Kinderspiel des Jahres-winning Geister Geister Schatzsuchmeister! — includes four ways to play: Basic Battle Basic Battle with Rowan Advanced Adventure and Advanced Adventure with Rowan. Rowan is a special ghost figure included in this version that cannot be killed. When this ghost's card comes up in the deck you draw the next card then move it to that room. If that room becomes a haunting this ghost automatically moves to the next room.
