Ours is a brave new age and as humanity hurtles into space and the future with an astonishing series of new advances every day NBN and our affiliates are keeping pace bringing you all the vid that's fit to view.Android: Netrunner is an asymmetrical Living Card Game for two players. Set in the cyberpunk future of Android and Infiltration the game pits a megacorporation and its massive resources against the subversive talents of lone runners.Corporations seek to score agendas by advancing them. Doing so takes time and credits. To buy the time and earn the credits they need they must secure their servers and data forts with ice. These security programs come in different varieties from simple barriers to code gates and aggressive sentries. They serve as the corporation's virtual eyes ears and machine guns on the sprawling information superhighways of the network.In turn runners need to spend their time and credits acquiring a sufficient wealth of resources purchasing the necessary hardware and developing suitably powerful ice-breaker programs to hack past corporate security measures. Their jobs are always a little desperate driven by tight timelines and shrouded in mystery. When a runner jacks-in and starts a run at a corporate server he risks having his best programs trashed or being caught by a trace program and left vulnerable to corporate countermeasures. It's not uncommon for an unprepared runner to fail to bypass a nasty sentry and suffer massive brain damage as a result. Even if a runner gets through a data fort's defenses there's no telling what it holds. Sometimes the runner finds something of value. Sometimes the best he can do is work to trash whatever the corporation was developing.The first player to seven points wins the game but not likely before he suffers some brain damage or bad publicity.The Revised Core Set for Android: Netrunner released in late 2017 includes cards from the original Core Set released in 2012 as well as cards from the Genesis Cycle and Spin Cycle series of Data Packs. While the cards in this set have been released previously the art on some of them is new.

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a cooperative adventure game in which the players attempt to complete a scenario each with up to three heroes of their choice and a deck of allies events and attachments to support them. Each round players send their heroes and allies to quest or to fight with enemies that engage them. However as the heroes and allies exhaust after questing defending or attacking the players' options are typically insufficient to deal with everything at once. Therefore players need to determine whether it is more urgent to quest and make progress in the scenario while the enemy forces gain power or to take down enemies while making no progress not knowing what will come next.The core set contains three scenarios twelve famous heroes from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien (including Aragorn Legolas Gimli Denethor and Éowyn) and four pre-constructed player decks. Players can either use one of these decks or construct their own deck to increase their chances of success and to explore new strategies. Additionally The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a Living Card Game with over ten years of content and much of its content has been re-released in the form of Campaign and Hero Expansions. Campaign Expansions contain new scenarios for players to embark upon and Hero Expansions contain new heroes and new cards for players to use in their decks.Although this game is set in Tolkien's Middle-earth most scenarios in the game do not represent scenes from The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings; rather they are set in the seventeen years from Bilbo's 111th birthday until Frodo's departure from the Shire allowing players to create their own stories and adventures in Middle-earth. Scenarios from the game's Saga Expansions do follow the events of the books and in addition to being able to be played individually these scenarios can also be played together in sequence as a Campaign Mode with lasting consequences from game to game arising from the players' actions and decisions.

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.

This is KeyForge where deckbuilding and boosters are a thing of the past where you can carve a path of discovery with every deck where you can throw yourself into the game with the force of a wild wormhole and embrace the thrill of a tactical battle where wits will win the day!Along with this new breed of game comes a new world: the Crucible an artificial world built from the pieces of countless planets across the stars. Here anything is possible. This world was built for the Archons god-like beings who for all their power know little about their own origins. The Archons clash in constant struggles leading motley companies of various factions as they seek to find and unlock the planet’s hidden Vaults to gain ultimate knowledge and power.This starter set contains two starter decks two unique Archon Decks and all the keys and tokens two players need to play!KeyForge: Call of the Archons is the world's first Unique Deck Game. Every single Archon Deck that you'll use to play is truly unique and one-of-a kind with its own Archon and its own mixture of cards in the deck. If you pick up an Archon Deck you know that you're the only person in existence with access to this exact deck and its distinct combination of cards. In fact in just the first set of KeyForge: Call of the Archons there are more than 104 quadrillion possible decks!Every Archon Deck contains a full play experience with a deck that cannot be altered meaning it's ready to play right out of the box. Not only does this remove the need for deckbuilding or boosters it also creates a new form of gameplay with innovative mechanics that challenges you to use every card in your deck to find the strongest and most cunning combinations. It is not the cards themselves that are powerful but rather the interactions between them—interactions that can only be found in your deck. Your ability to make tough tactical decisions will determine your success as you and your opponent trade blows in clashes that can shift in an instant!KeyForge: Call of the Archons is played over a series of turns in which you as the Archon leading your company use the creatures technology artifacts and skills of a chosen House to reap precious Æmber hold off your enemy's forces and forge enough keys to unlock the Crucible's Vaults. You begin your turn by declaring one of the three Houses within your deck and for the remainder of the turn you may play and use cards only from that House. For example if you take on the role of the Archon Radiant Argus the Supreme you will find cards from Logos Sanctum and Untamed in your deck but if you declare Sanctum at the start of your turn you may use actions artifacts creatures and upgrades only from Sanctum. Your allies from Logos and Untamed must wait.Next you must strive to gain the advantage with a series of tactical decisions leveraging both the cards in your hand and those in play to race ahead of your opponent. If you wish to weaken your rival’s forces you may send out your allies to fight enemies on the opposing side matching strength against strength. Otherwise you may choose to use your followers to reap adding more Æmber to your pool.Notably no card in KeyForge has a cost — choosing a House at the start of a turn allows you to play and use any number of cards from that House for free leading turns to fly by with a wave of activity! Yet balance is key. If you simply reap more Æmber at every opportunity your rival may quickly grow their team of minions and destroy yours outpacing your collection and leaving your field barren. But if you focus on the thrill of the fight alone and neglect the collection of Æmber you won't move any closer to your goal! If you succeed in finding a harmony within your team and have six Æmber at the start of your turn you'll forge a key and move one step closer to victory. The first to forge three keys wins!—description from the publisher

Warhammer Underworlds is a tactical arena combat game. This is a system designed for balanced small-scale tactical games that can be played quickly and easily by anyone but which even experienced players will find challenging to master. The game rules are designed with competitive play in mind; matches can be played in under 45 minutes on a smaller surface than our larger-scale games and will be ideal for club or tournament play. And not only that we’ll be fully supporting an organized play system for this game right from day one.The forces you can use in this game will be drawn from races across the Mortal Realms including some for factions that have not received any new miniatures since we first ventured into the Age of Sigmar. Each of these sets will be composed of a small band of easy-to-assemble push-fit miniatures in the style of our single-pose heroes to represent a specific band of warriors from that faction. 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

Sorcerer: A Strategy Card Game is set in what the company describes as a grim gaslamp lit world full of fantastic mythical creatures and sorcery. Designed for two to four players the game pits two ancient beings of great power against one another to determine which of their lineage are strongest. The players use sorcery to conjure minions cast spells and wield enchanted items to reach the game's goal of conquering three battlefields.The game uses a simple resource system of energy that is determined randomly by a dice-roll at the beginning of each round to make sure no round is the same. However the outcome being the same for both players the game balance stays even. This energy is then used in the Action Phase for conjuring minions from your hand on any of three battlefields casting possessions that can improve your minion's traits and abilities; or sorcery cards with various direct effects. Also as an action you can add more energy to your Energy Pool draw more cards move minions to another battlefield etc. The choice is yours it is just about your pure skill to handle the battle preparation!In the Battle Phase players roll amount of custom dice equal to each minion's attack trait with possible outcome of miss hit double hit or critical hit for each die and place damage counters on the respective minions or directly to the Battlefield. A unique system of Omen tokens then allows to adjust this outcome by re-rolling the dice before distributing the damage among opponent's minions and battlefield.The combination of usual mechanics like story driven deck building push your luck or dice-rolling; and a unique system of influencing the outcome of the battle provides a perfect balance between strategy and random elements (even you still have the possibility to influence the outcome). Dividing the round to the Action Phase and Battle Phase then creates a very pleasant and natural flow of the hardcore game play.Sorcerer was first developed in 2012 and in 2014 Peter Scholtz consulted with Czech and Slovak board gaming communities intensively to fine tune the mechanics of the game. In August 2014 the first “Print and Play” demo version of Sorcerer was published responding to all the remarks and feedback Peter Scholtz received allowing him to create both his upgraded native language demo and finally the English language version of Sorcerer. The Sorcerer prototype was available for the wide audience as a free to play testing material over the year 2014. After another year of intense work and listening to the game community Peter Scholtz went to Essen Spiel to meet some of the greatest board game publishers and show them the game. After a meeting with Rob Dougherty CEO of the White Wizard Games game designer (Star Realms Hero Realms and Epic card game) and last but not least MTG Hall of Fame player the dice was finally rolled. In 2016 Peter Scholtz become a White Wizard Games team member and together they prepared the game for its KS campaign launch in November 2017.

Sakura Duel — known in Japanese as 桜降る代に決闘を and also released as Sakura Arms — is a two-player dueling game in which players first choose two of seven megami (Japanese goddesses) each of which has a different keyword that empowers some of their cards. Players then see what the opponent chose before assembling a deck of ten out of 22 cards with the players choosing cards both to take advantage of their own megami powers and to exploit their opponent's weaknesses. Players then duel to see who will be victorious.The game uses a single kind of token to represent life distance aura (defense) and flare (special energy) based on the zone these tokens occupy. By moving tokens between zones you attempt to gain the ideal position and set up as many attacks as possible — or be prepared to avoid attacks.The gameplay at its core is simple and due to its limited environment it is relatively easy to learn the cards for a deck-building game. Building a deck and playing normally takes less than 20 minutes.This is the first release for the second version of the Sakura Arms game system. A third version with system changes and balance updates has since been released.

Ortus Regni

Ortus Regni

Rating: 7.5 | Players: 2

Ortus Regni is a novel card game inspired by the late Anglo-Saxon period of English history. A time of warring Earls claiming whatever lands they could... establishing fiefs cultivating powerful vassals fighting and engaging in endless political struggles — all while Vikings roamed not just the sea but the land. It is truly a Dark Age. Or is it? Lasting for 600 years until the Norman Conquest of 1066 this era decided the future of a great kingdom that would become England.Designing your Earl Deck before play begins is one of the key features of the game. Ortus Regni is a deck-design game rather than a deck-building game — that is you are entirely in control of the deck that you will begin play with in a game of Ortus Regni. Several canonical Ortus Regni deck design concepts exist — such as a Lord deck an Army (Land) deck a Politics deck or an Emissary (Monk) deck and more — but such concepts are only the start of your design options. The Earl Deck you put together can be a subtle hybrid of several concepts or something entirely different and unusual.Your opponents in Ortus Regni will have access to exactly the same suite of cards that you do when they design their own Earl Decks for game play. So it all comes down to your choices and your strategies! There is also tactical space during a game to zig and zag even if you find yourself against an Earl Deck design that you did not anticipate. You might pull out an unexpected win nonetheless if you play your deck well.

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.

Siege Storm is a deck building game. You have cards your enemy has cards. You both cast some creatures and spells then one of you wins.Close your eyes. Imagine you are a mighty lord commanding an army. Or a magician summoning creatures onto a battlefield. Or a farmer who grows his units on a cornfield right in the storm of battle. So you build your army choose your enemy and try to bring the pain to him before he brings the pain to you.Between you and your enemy there are 2 tracks: one that your armies use to travel towards enemy and a similar one where your enemy’s units travel to you. Again just imagine whatever you want – two epic castles in a war or a slow magic-fest between old smelly wizards with rheumatism.Cards are everything here: your life bar your mana your library and so on. When you draw them into your hand you can either play them or discard them to pay for some more expensive fancy card’s cost. But there are even more decisions from here!When you play a card you can play it as an instant and get a trigger effect. Alternatively you can play it as a creature on your track then its passive ability will work. It will defend you at first and once it moves up to the end of your track it will be able to: a) Activate (attack and trigger its effect) b) Become your supporter (our fancy term for mana) c) Or stay in the middle of the track and make its passive ability work all the timeSo you can build powerful combos you can zombie-rush you can build your economy and all sorts of other cool stuff. But whenever your enemy hits you you will lose cards from your resources so there is that. No cards to draw? You lose.If you like it we might even get some expansions going pretty soon.A co-op mode has also been added.

Lords of War: Orcs versus Dwarves is a dual-deck strategic card game for two-plus players which sees fantasy races engage in dynamic tactical card battles.Orcs versus Dwarves was the first Lords of War game to be released in December 2012 at the Dragonmeet Game Fair in London. The game went on to win the Best Strategic Card Game Award at the UK Games Expo 2013 along with Lords of War: Elves versus Lizardmen.During Lords of War battles players use hands of 6 units drawn from their total 'army' of 36 cards playing one card per turn at the start of their turn.Cards have unique formations of Attack Arrows on their edges and corners signifying which adjacent cards they attack once played and the damage they will do. Some cards also have Ranged Attack values. Each card then has a Defence value which when exceeded by attacking cards sees that card defeated.At the end of a player's turn once combat has been resolved the player can then either draw a new card from their army deck to return their hand back up to 6 or retreat a unit that has not engaged in combat during that turn.The game is playable out of the box and contains two complete armies - the Orcs and the Dwarves.These factions are differentiated by their exclusive cards and strategies; the Dwarf faction plays more defensively using some Ranged cards and powerful Berserker units to pick-off assailants while the Orc army encourages players to attack more vigorously often committing kamikaze moves to their tactical advantage.Orcs versus Dwarves is cross-compatible with Elves versus Lizardmen meaning that all the Lords of War armies can be used to battle one another. The armies can also be blended together using a strict Ranking System to create Mercenary decks for tournament play.
