Game Type: Thematic

In War of the Ring one player takes control of the Free Peoples (FP) while the other player controls Shadow Armies (SA). Initially the Free People Nations are reluctant to take arms against Sauron so they must be attacked by Sauron or persuaded by Gandalf or other Companions before they start to fight in earnest: this is represented by the Political Track which shows if a Nation is ready to fight in the War of the Ring or not.The game can be won by a military victory if Sauron conquers a certain number of Free People cities and strongholds or vice versa. But the true hope of the Free Peoples lies with the quest of the Ring bearer: while the armies clash across Middle-earth the Fellowship of the Ring is trying to get secretly to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. Sauron is not aware of the real intention of his enemies but is looking across Middle-earth for the precious Ring so that the Fellowship is going to face numerous dangers represented by the rules of The Hunt for the Ring. But the Companions can spur the Free Peoples to the fight against Sauron so the Free People player must balance the need to protect the Ring bearer from harm with an attempt to raise a proper defense against the armies of the Shadow so that they do not overrun Middle-earth before the Ringbearer completes his quest.Each game turn revolves around the roll of Action Dice: each die corresponds to an action that a player can perform during a turn. Depending on the face rolled on each die different actions are possible (moving armies or characters recruiting troops advancing a Political Track).Action Dice can also be used to draw or play Event Cards. Event Cards are played to represent specific events from the story (or events that could possibly have happened) that cannot be portrayed through normal game-play. Each Event Card can also create an unexpected turn in the game allowing special actions or altering the course of a battle.

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.

Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game is set in the Marvel Comics universe. To set up the game players choose a mastermind villain (Magneto Loki Dr. Doom Red Skull in the base game) stack that particular villain's attack cards underneath it then modify the villain deck as needed based on that villain's particular scheme. Players then choose a number of hero decks – Spider-Man Hulk Wolverine etc. – and shuffle them together; since players use only a handful of hero decks out of the fifteen included the hero deck can vary widely in terms of what's available.Over the course of the game players will recruit powerful hero cards to add to their deck in order to build a stronger and more resourceful deck. Players need to build both their recruitment powers (to enlist more heroes) and their fighting ability (to combat the villains who keep popping up to cause trouble). Players recruit heroes from an array of five cards with empty slots refilled as needed. At the start of a player's turn he reveals a villain and adds it to the row of villains. This row has a limited number of spaces and if it fills up the earliest villain to arrive escapes possibly punishing the heroes in some way. Some villains also take an action when showing up for the first time such as kidnapping an innocent bystander. The villain deck also contains master strike cards and whenever one of these shows up the mastermind villain (controlled by the game) takes a bonus action.As players fight and defeat villains they collect those cards which will be worth points at game's end. Players can also fight the mastermind; if a player has enough fighting power he claims one of the attack cards beneath the mastermind which has a particular effect on the game. If all of these cards are claimed the game ends and players tally their points to see who wins. If the mastermind completes his scheme however – having a certain number of villains escape for example or imposing a certain number of wounds on the heroes – then the players all lose.Hero decks in the base game: Gambit Black Widow Hawkeye Emma Frost Thor Spider-Man Iron Man Storm Captain America Nick Fury Rogue Cyclops Hulk Wolverine Deadpool

As Hitler's grasp on Germany tightens and his maniacal fervor is unmasked men from the highest levels of the Reich begin to plot his assassination. As the clock ticks and Hitler's ambitions grow these daring few must build their strength and prepare for the perfect moment to strike. The Gestapo hound their trail calling these conspirators Schwarze Kapelle the Black Orchestra. Will this band of daring patriots save their country from utter ruin before it is too late?Black Orchestra begins with each player choosing a historic figure involved in the conspiracy against Hitler. In this dark and dangerous pursuit motivation is perhaps your greatest weapon. If you can stay true to your convictions in the face of overwhelming threat and inspire your comrades then you will be able to use your special ability attempt plots and even become zealous (necessary for some extremely daring plots).But every move you make may also increase the suspicion of the authorities. The Gestapo will make routine sweeps and any players with high suspicion will be arrested and interrogated (possibly resulting in other players being arrested). If you are all arrested or if the Gestapo finds your secret papers you lose. And the suspicion placed on each conspirator will increase the chances their plots are detected.On a turn players may take three actions such as moving searching for an item or drawing a card; or at the cost of one action per die roll the dice in an attempt to gain even more actions — at the risk of attracting the suspicion of the gestapo. This dice rolling Conspire action allows players to make bold moves when most needed.After the actions have been taken an event card is drawn. The game is played over seven stages of World War 2 represented by seven stacks of event cards. These cards walk you through the events of WWII in a roughly (but not strictly) chronological order. New stages open up new areas of the board cause Hitler and his deputies to interact with the Conspirators and present various opportunities or threats. During the final stage many board spaces become off-limits as the Allies move closer to Germany.To win players must collect a plot card and fulfill all necessary requirements listed (such as having Hitler be in a certain space and possessing certain items--detonator & fuse etc.). The active player may then attempt the plot by rolling the indicated dice including all additional modifiers and helpful Action cards. The total of number of Target symbols needed to kill Hitler is based on Hitler's military support but a Conspirator's security level decides if any Eagles rolled will see them detected and foil the plot regardless. Players must consider their ability to successfully complete a plot and the relative suspicion levels of the different Conspirators involved.Players will need to work together and agree on the wisest course of action as well as have a little luck to succeed. The phenomenon of one player dominating the game because of its cooperative nature is mitigated by the fact that there are no certainties and often a player will need to make a bold or reckless move to keep the conspiracy alive. Cool heads often prevail but play it too cool and you may miss your chance. The co-operative dynamic gets really interesting if a player is ever arrested and fails to resist interrogation then they will need to make a big decision all by themselves without revealing their options to the group. No one player can guarantee success. It is hoped that players will have tense conversations similar to those had by the real conspirators and enjoy a truly unique historical experience.

The only thing you can be sure of is each other; lose that trust and you’ll lose all hope of survival.—description from the designerThis core set comes with 2 planets Planet 001-Wenora and Planet 002-Grakkis which are not available individually.Embrace your fungal hosts and discover mind-bending abilities beyond your imagination or be absorbed forever.

Life drips and pulsates disturbingly mysterious pastes and powders covering most of the planet's crawling surfaces. Simply traversing the land is deeply unnerving yet awe inspiring all the same. Tentacles toxic spores and an alarming array of suction cups abound.Discover pathways to the skies to escape violent storms and enormous creatures that haunt the surface. Unsettled: Grakkis is the 2nd planet box for Unsettled.Grakkis is a sand-swept desert ruins. What was once a massive planet-wide forest of unfathomably large trees is now that forest's graveyard - all the trees having long since petrified to a stone-like state. Some have crumbled into interesting formations. Some had rotted before petrifying creating strange caves and crevices many of them thousands of feet above ground. Colossal alien lifeforms disturbing in their appearance wander the wasteland. They tower horrifyingly in the distance like gods in some waking existential nightmare.

The postcards in every local drug store read Welcome to Fabulous Farmingdale! an ad campaign that was the brainchild of Mayor Hernandez (who coincidentally employed his wife's public relations firm to market their community). But right now things are far from fabulous in Farmingdale and for once everyone isn't blaming the Mayor. Some kind of virus or poison is turning ordinary people into vicious zombie-like killers. It is not clear how the disease spreads (though it seems that physical contact is certainly one way) but it is obvious what the illness does to its victims.These undead nicknamed Zeds from the local newscasts as the acronym for Zombie Epidemic Disease are now converging on your corner of the world around Farmingdale. As best you can tell you have been left to your own devices to stop them while the National Guard organizes a relief column but that could take days perhaps weeks for them to fight their way to you and until then what can you do?With little choice between survival and a gruesome (un)death you realize that you must coordinate the defense of the town of Farmingdale and its surrounding villages. You must lead the good citizens and emerging heroes of these communities to halt the Zeds' advances by (re)killing them attempt to coordinate the discovery of a cure to this vile scourge and preserve as much of the area and as many of its inhabitants as possible. There's no time to lose...

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.

The year is 1913. The steamship SS Atlantica is two days out from port on its voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Its unsuspecting passengers fully anticipated a calm journey to Boston Massachusetts with nothing out of the ordinary to look forward to. However strange nightmares plague the minds of the people aboard the ship every night; rumors circulate of dark shapes following closely behind the ship just beneath the waves; and tensions rise when a body is discovered in the ship's chapel signs of a strange ritual littered around the corpse.Lurking within the depths of the Atlantic Ocean are a swarm of vicious unspeakable horrors: the Deep Ones led by Mother Hydra and Father Dagon. For reasons unknown they have set their sights on the Atlantica and their minions taking the form of human-Deep One hybrids have infiltrated the steamship to help sink it from within. Each game of Unfathomable has one or more players assuming the role of one of these hybrids and how well they can secretly sabotage the efforts of the other players might mean the difference between a successful voyage and a sunken ship.If you're a human you need to fend off Deep Ones prevent the Atlantica from taking too much damage and carefully manage the ship's four crucial resources if you want any hope of making it to Boston all while trying to figure out which of your fellow players are friends and which are foes. Everyone shares the same resource pool but humans will try to preserve them while traitors will strive to subtly deplete them. Being able to tell when someone is purposefully draining the group's resources is harder than you think especially when you take crises into account!At the end of each player's turn that player must draw a mythos card. Each of these cards represents a crisis that the whole group must try to resolve together. Some of these crises such as Food Rationing call for a choice that could potentially put the ship's passengers or resources at risk while others such as Hull Leak call for a skill test in which failure could have disastrous consequences.During a skill test each player contributes skill cards from their hand to a face-down pile shared by the group. Once everyone has contributed (or chosen not to) the cards are shuffled then revealed. If enough of the correct skills were contributed then the group passes the test! But if the wrong skills were contributed they can actually hinder the results leading to failure. Thus skill tests are dangerous opportunities for traitors to sabotage the humans' efforts so you have to stay on your toes at all times.—description from the publisher

Detective: City of Angels set in the dark and violent world of 1940s Los Angeles is a game of mystery deception and investigation for 1–5 players. Most players will step into the shoes of LAPD homicide detectives hungry for glory and willing to do whatever it takes to successfully close a case even if that means intimidating suspects concealing evidence and hiring snitches to rat on their fellow detectives. One player however will take on the role of The Chisel whose only goal is to stall and misdirect the detectives at every turn using bluffing manipulation and (often) outright lies.Detective: CoA uses the innovative ARC (Adaptive Response Card) System to create the feel of interrogating a suspect. Suspects do not simply give paragraph-book responses; instead The Chisel carefully chooses how they will answer. When Billy O'Shea insists that the victim was a regular at Topsy's Nightclub is he telling the truth or is The Chisel subtly leading the detectives toward a dead end that will cost them precious time? Detectives can challenge responses that they think are lies but at great risk: If they're wrong The Chisel will acquire leverage over them making the case that much harder to solve.Detective: CoA includes separate detailed casebooks for both the detectives and The Chisel. Each crime is a carefully constructed puzzle that can unfold in a variety of ways depending on how the detectives choose to pursue their investigations. As the detectives turn the city upside down uncovering fresh evidence and hot leads hidden suspects may be revealed and new lines of questioning will open up creating a rich story-driven experience.Inspired by classic film noir like The Big Sleep the works of James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential) and the video game L.A. Noire from Rockstar Games Detective: City of Angels is a murder-mystery game unlike any other. Will one detective rise above the rest and close the case on L.A.'s latest high profile murder? Or will The Chisel sow enough doubt and confusion to prevent the detectives from solving the crime?—description from the publisherA sleuth mode allows 1 or more players to play fully cooperatively solving the cases together.

The walls were lined with iron shelves each metal slat overfilled with glass jars containing formaldehyde and grotesque curiosities within. Pristine brass tools and refined metals of a quality I had never before laid eyes upon were strewn across sturdy slabs of rock and wood their edges sharp with use. However my eyes were soon drawn to a sturdy writing desk its mahogany eaves inlaid with thin strips of copper the center of which contained a well-worn leather-bound book. My father's journal — passed down to me and representing years of knowledge and countless experiments. And inside that weathered tome atop the pearly parchment oxidized yellow at its frayed edges were the deliberate quill marks of a crazed genius outlining the ambitious project he could never complete in one lifetime — his masterwork.Without realizing it my hands were shaking as I clutched the book to my chest. At once I felt an ownership and anxiety for the scientific sketches scrawled so eloquently on those frayed sheets. It was at that moment that I began my obsession: I would restore this laboratory to its former brilliance and dedicate my life to completing my father's work!In My Father's Work players are competing mad scientists entrusted with a page from their father's journal and a large estate in which to perform their devious experiments. Players earn points by completing experiments aiding the town in its endeavors upgrading their macabre estates and hopefully completing their father's masterwork.But they have to balance study and active experimentation because at the end of each generation all of their experiments and resources are lost to time until their child begins again with only the Journaled Knowledge and Estate they have willed to them — and since the game is played over the course of three generations it is inevitable that the players will rouse the townsfolk to form angry mobs or spiral into insanity from the ethically dubious works they have created. The player with the most points at the end of three generations wins and becomes the most revered feared ingenious scientist the world has ever known!—description from the publisher

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.

Game description from the publisher:You are humanity's last hope.In XCOM: The Board Game you and up to three friends assume the roles of the leaders of the elite international organization known as XCOM. It is your job to defend humanity quell the rising panic and turn back the alien invasion.Where the world's militaries have failed to stand against the alien invaders you must succeed. To do so you must make strategic use of the resources available to you. You must launch Interceptors to shoot down alien UFOs assign soldiers to key missions research alien technology and use that technology to defend your base — all while trying to keep the world from collapsing just long enough that you can coordinate one final mission to repel the invaders for good.One of the more notable aspects of XCOM: The Board Game is the way that it incorporates a free and innovative digital app into the core of its gameplay. This digital companion will be available both as a downloadable app and as an online tool.The app's primary function is to coordinate the escalating alien invasion randomly selecting from one of five different invasion plans. Each invasion plan represents a general outline that the alien commanders will use to coordinate the arrival of new UFOs plan strikes against your base and respond to your successes or failures as it seeks to conquer Earth. The app manages all of these tasks and heightens the game's tension as it forces you to respond in real-time. Then after you move quickly to coordinate your response you engage the enemy in the untimed resolution phase and feed the results to the app. Based upon these results the app launches the invasion's next strikes.Additionally the app teaches you the rules controls the information that your satellites provide you and tracks the progress of your resistance efforts even as it allows you to enjoy the game at any of three levels of difficulty: Easy Normal or Hard.The use of this app does more than simply streamline your play experience and track your turns in real-time; it also permits a uniquely dynamic turn structure. While the variety of game phases remains the same from round to round the order in which you and your friends must play through them may change as may the number of a given phase. As a result while you'll want to know where UFOs appear before you deploy your Interceptors the alien invaders may be able to disrupt your satellite intel and force you to deploy your Interceptors on patrol with limited or no knowledge of the UFOs current whereabouts. Similarly you may be forced to think about the costs of resolving the world’s crises before you know how many troops you’ll need to commit to your base defense.The effect of the app is to immerse you deep into the dramatic tension at the core of XCOM: The Board Game and it ensures that the game presents a challenging and cooperative (or solo) experience like no other. Just like the XCOM department heads that you represent you'll need to keep cool heads in order to prevail.

There are Brimstone cards that make the terrain risky to navigate which operate similarly to the Tombstone cards from Arcadia Quest: Beyond the Grave.A new mechanism called Damnation will tempt the heroes with powerful weapons that can corrupt the characters over time or change the behavior of nearby monsters. There are also Angels which are allied characters for the heroes to rescue escort or assist. Working with the Angels can affect the branching campaign path system and even allow the player to recruit them for use in later missions.

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.

Humans set off into the stars in search of high-powered fuel and found it in the remote corner of the universe on the small planet PK-L7. Their discovery of Xenium — a dark oily compound deep below the planet's surface — was everything they hoped for. But they found something else too. The Xenos attack was brutal and unrelenting.

Survivors can be civilians or soldiers each with specialized skills. They all play together as a team trading equipment and covering each other. They use whatever weapons they can get to kill Xenos and slow the invasion. The better the weapon the higher the body count but the more Xenos will appear attracted by the onslaught! Survivors must also be mindful of their location as conventional weapons work fine indoors but the planet’s oxygen-starved surface they'll need to arm themselves with more specialized weaponry. Lasers anyone?Most of the time Xenos are predictable but there are a lot of them and they use nasty tactics not encountered in previous Zombicide games. Only through cooperation can players achieve the Mission objectives and win.

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

Thunder Alley is a stock car racing game for 2–7 players with the feel and flexibility of a card-driven simulation. Drafting teamwork accidents yellow flags pit strategy working to lead laps and sprints to the finish are all included and bring the feel of racing to the game. Players control not one car but a team of 3–6 cars. Thus each race is not only a run for the checkered flag but an effort to maximize the score for every car on your team. Winning is important but if only one car crosses the finish line your team might end up outside the winner's circle looking in.The game includes four different types of movement often with many cars moving with the play of a single card and each type has its place and time:Turns are fast each play is important and the track situation is fluid. The wrong movement in the wrong situation can be disastrous with you possibly being left out of the draft and all alone. Experienced players will be able to identify the best type of movement for the current situation.Cars suffer wear over the course of a race and need to take pit stops. Tire wear suspension difficulties fuel issues and major engine and transmission problems are all modeled in the game. If you feel lucky you might try to hold it together just a little bit longer in hopes that a yellow flag will come out and cause a mass rush into the pits. Waiting on a yellow that never comes can be maddening as the rest of the pack moves by your worn-out car. What's more an events deck can make your strategy pay off or punish you for your failure to take precautions. Accidents yellow flags worsening track situations and deteriorating cars are all part of the game. Could all of your perfect strategy be derailed by those incoming rain clouds?Included in the game are four different race tracks: a tri-oval super speedway for wide-open free-wheeling racing and a short track for a tight wheel-to-wheel bumper car duel. Each track uses the same deck of racing cards but the cards that work best on one may be useless in the other. The game also includes a second board with a road course and and 3 turned (triangle) raceway.Most racing games call for a large number of players to play the game at its best. An unusual bonus for Thunder Alley is the very playable and exciting two-player version with six cars on a side.

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.

In Batman: Gotham City Chronicles one villain faces off against a team of heroes in one of multiple scenarios. Each hero has their own character and they control this character by spending energy to perform actions (such as Melee and Ranged attacks defusing bombs...) recovering more or less energy at the beginning of their turn depending on their stance. 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

Watson & Holmes is a game of deduction set within the magnificent works of Arthur Conan Doyle. Two to seven aspiring detectives step into the shoes of Doctor Watson working alongside the detective Sherlock Holmes to try to solve a series of so far unpublished cases directly extracted from Doctor John H. Watson's diaries. Those who accept the challenge relive the adventures of the crime-solving duo visiting each of the locations where the inquiries were made. Following the trail each clue brings players closer to solving the case.The objective of the game is to immerse yourself in the Victorian world depicted in each story. Visit the right places decipher the clues and above all find the path that leads you to solve the mystery before anybody else. Victory goes to the player who accurately uses the deductive reasoning so famously and ingeniously implemented by the hero of 221B Baker Street.The game consists of a series of separate cases each of which raises a number of questions that each player tries to solve before anyone else. To do this once the case and the questions have been read aloud players proceed to visit the locations where the clues are located. Each location cannot be accessed by more than one player at any one time so if two or more players want to go to the same place the player who travels there the fastest (i.e. he who uses the largest number of Carriage Tokens) gets the clue forcing the others to go to a different location. Once every player has a destination they proceed to read in secret the clue that was discovered at that location. They can discreetly take any notes they deem appropriate. Once this is done the cards are returned to their place so that others can read them in later turns.This procedure is repeated during each turn until one player believes he has found the solutions to the case; at that time he must go to 221B Baker Street to check if his answers are correct. If all the answers are correct the player wins; if they are wrong he will have lost and retires from the game and the game continues.Each detective will also have the invaluable assistance of a number of Sherlock Holmes' allies above all the good Dr Watson and of course of the detective himself.

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.

At the beginning of each game 15 of these chapter cards are drawn at random from a larger deck to create a unique castle every time.Gameplay involves one player revealing a new chapter card each turn in a motion like turning a page of a book. When a card is turned the next chamber or passageway into which the prisoners have stumbled is revealed. There is no turn order. Instead players decide as a group who will turn the next chapter card and there are often grisly consequences for the one that does!Once revealed the chapter card will explain the situation facing the group and what must be done to get through it. In the style of choose-your-path adventures most chapters offer the group a choice about how to proceed. Bribe the drunken guards or attack them? Charge the beast or lure it out? Steal from the kitchen stores or keep moving? When the players choose to enter (or fail to avoid) combat all players roll their unique character dice simultaneously to make an attack against the enemy. They need to collectively muster the right combination of Might Cunning and Wisdom to defeat the foe in question or risk taking damage. Blocking Resting and the use of Weapons Relics and Potions will help to keep the prisoners alive.The goal of the game is for the group to complete every chapter in the castle deck then defeat the final boss. To win they must keep every member of the team alive - if any player is killed the game ends immediately.

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

Bloodborne: The Card Game is based on the Chalice Dungeons in the video game Bloodborne — the ever-changing labyrinths and tombs carved out by the Great Ones beneath the fallen city of Yharnam where horrifying creatures reside. Players compete to kill monsters and take their blood.In general Bloodborne is a game about risk management with a bit of group think inventory management/upgrades and tactical play. You start with a hand of basic weapons which you get to upgrade to improve your fighting combos and capabilities.Each turn one monster chosen at random attacks players who fight back as a team with everyone playing a card from their hand simultaneously to attempt to kill the monster. Players collect blood from the monster assuming it dies based on how much damage they dealt. Monsters can fight back with exploding dice that can potentially deal infinite damage.Players can fight as long as they want but if they die in combat they lose their progress. Players can opt out of fighting to bank their blood and save it permanently. Collected blood counts as victory points.Says designer Eric M. Lang My goal with Bloodborne was to channel the intensity and frustration of the video game into a contest between players. Lots of death.

Mr. President is a solitaire game about governing as the President of the United States. It's not an election game. It begins after you've been elected. It's about sitting in The Chair and trying to advance your agenda while navigating ongoing crises political enemies public opinion your relations with Congress and the press and keeping your country secure in a world of rival nations and agendas that just seems to keep blowing up around you. Mr. President is a resource management game where you never have enough resources to achieve your entire agenda and the path you take through an always unpredictable storyline rests on the choices you make. Depending on the results of those choices and on the unfolding of a different every game story you'll either be thinking POTUS? Piece of Cake! or Why was it that I WANTED this job? many times in each game.Like the actual President you'll have an array of allies and resources to help you as you navigate both the corridors of power in the nation's capital and the uncertainties of international relations. These allies and resources will vary from game to game but you'll always be able to rely on your Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense to help you with foreign policy and with the use where you deem necessary of the combat power of the U.S. military. You'll also have a bevy of domestic advisors and friends in Congress to help you navigate the many challenges in Congress and domestic life and politics. And you'll always have access to at least one truly exceptional talent (this too will vary from game to game) someone who excels in their particular job and is a force multiplier for you in their own unique way. How you lead and utilize this mix of talents and experience at your disposal will go a long way toward determining your success or failure during your shot at being Mr. President.Game PlayThe Map. The game map allows you to see and track the domestic and world situation that the game creates. It is divided into sections:1. Congress. This is where you track progress of legislation as well as keep track of your friends and opponents in Congress.2. Advisors and Assets. This section of the map is a holding area for all of your advisors available action points and military assets.3. Crisis Management. This is where you manage the Crisis Cards and keep track of crisis status and how well you've dealt with each crisis.4. The World portion of the map (about half of the map) is divided into eight world regions with additional sections for Russia and China (your key potential antagonists in the game). Here's a look at the South America Region as an example of the regional displays:Crisis Cards. At the heart of Mr. President are the 150+ Crisis Cards that help create the storyline for each game. These cards - see the 12 sample cards on this page - are a mix of cards representing Domestic or World Crises Terrorism Events Unexpected Benefits and Opportunities. The Crisis Cards help drive but do not completely control the storyline in each game. Here's how it works:Each game of Mr. President is divided into eight turns each representing six months in office. These turns are further divided into six Rounds each representing one month.At the start of each turn you get to perform assessment and planning actions where you get to lay out your rough plan re-examine strategy re-evaluate the threats and opportunities that were presenting as the previous turn ended (or at game start). So there is definitely a proactive strategy piece to the game. Unfortunately though your plans are not often going to survive intact once the turn gets going. The world stage is a dynamic platform.Once you have your plans made (and the Mr. President gods laugh at you!) you perform the six monthly rounds in order. During each round you draw three Crisis Cards that represent that main world or domestic events that happen (these are usually bad from your point of view but occasionally they are events or resources that help you) during that month. Most of the events on the Crisis Cards present you with both an urgent problem that may immediately alter the board state and a longer term issue that may linger and cause you pain down the road if you don't address it well.After you flip and resolve the three Crisis Cards for the round you get to take actions using any of your available personnel and resources. These actions allow you to make progress on your legislative agenda attempt to address any new crises presented by the round's three actions cards deal with any lingering world or domestic issues fight terrorism perform diplomacy and attempt to better your situation in the world or in the eyes of the American people.Once you finish your action portion of the round that round (month) is finished and you move on to the next round drawing three new Crisis Cards and repeating the round process until the 6-month turn is complete.Seeded within the 18-card mix that makes up a turn you have six cards for Russian and Chinese Actions Terror Actions War Progress Crisis Checks and White House Life. You know that each of these six cards will show up sometime during each turn but you don't know when. The variable timing of these cards' appearance each turn adds uncertainty and spice to the game while ensuring that major players in the game present challenges for you every single turn. Russia and China offer deeper challenges with four possible postures (aggression levels) for each country and a country-specific AI for each. Postures may shift in-game in response to your actions or to storyline events making dealing positively with each nation an evolving challenge all game.Please note that Mr. President is NOT a beer and pretzels surface-level game. This game is intended to be deep and immersive one that will both frustrate and delight the solitaire player. Playing time is four to eight hours (depending on your experience level) to play an entire 4-year term. I've tried to pack as much fun as possible into each 6-month turn so that even if you only have time to play one turn on a weeknight you'll be engaged frustrated challenged and immersed throughout. That said I hope you're going to find it difficult to stop playing after each turn. I've designed Mr. President to be an experience that will wrap you up in each new game's story and beckon you back to the game table after each round turn or completed game.I designed this game to provide massive replayability. With over 150 Crisis cards in the mix and multiple subsystems representing the US Economy Congress Homeland Security the Press Presidential Prestige Russia China Hostile Rogue States and staunch Allies no two games of Mr. President will ever play remotely alike. If you think you're ready for that challenge go ahead. Raise your right hand and swear the oath. Then settle in behind the desk in the Oval Office and let your imagination run wild!I hope playing Mr. President brings you as much enjoyment as designing it has brought me!- GeneComponentsOne 5 deep Game Box One 22 x 34 mounted game board One 22 x 17 mounted game board 180 Cards 500+ counters and markers One How to Play rulebook One How to Play a Turn FlipBook One Scenario Book One World Chart Book One Domestic Chart Book Two Peer Competitor Action Books for Russia and China Six Player Aid cards One 10-sided die One 6-sided die

“You are Kalia Lavel. You’ve always wanted to fight crime like your famous ancestors so you joined the elite BelCor forces. They turned you into a highly trained cyber-agent but it didn’t take you long to figure out that your bosses cared much more about their profit than about justice for ordinary people.

Only the rich and privileged can live there and enjoy comfortable houses unlimited access to water clean air and controlled temperature.Uneven access to new technologies and a host of other inequalities fuel social unrest which often turns into open violence. Paris has become a popular destination for people from regions that suffered catastrophic droughts epidemics and wars. It isn’t however a promised land but a merciless world where the constant fight for influence takes place on every level from big international corporations through political extremist groups to ordinary street gangs.Part of Chronicles of Crime - The Millennium Series Chronicles of Crime is back with a range of games called The Millennium Series.

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

But they are not the only ones there; roaming monsters appear blocking roads and threatening the peace in Skyrim. Several game effects could lead to the fall of a Stronghold so players need to keep an eye on the state of unrest and the active dangers across the board.Customizable Characters There are no classes in Skyrim. Each character has a different starting innate ability and additional abilities that are unlocked as they learn specific skills but that doesn’t mean that they are tied to a gameplay style. For example even though Nords shine when they are developed with a focus on warrior skills and equipment a player could decide to make their Nord a spellcaster or a summoner and still retrain midway through the game after finding an amazing sword they really want to use. Players can change their progression path mid-game and enjoy many different play styles.Upgradeable Equipment There are plenty of equippable items: weapons pieces of armor trinkets etc. Most of these items can be customized; by either Enchanting or Upgrading them in a Stronghold. When Upgrading or Enchanting an item the player draws an Enchantment/Upgrade card and slots it underneath the item altering its properties. A piece of armor can be Upgraded so it becomes better against Heavy Attacks for example and it can also be Enchanted so it helps the character regenerate Stamina faster. When learning the Smithing and the Enchanting skills the players get to draw more cards and choose between them making the experience of customizing equipment richer and letting them focus on the playstyle they prefer. Furthermore when playing in a group one player can specialize their character in Enchanting or Smithing and upgrade all their allies' items by meeting in a Stronghold adding another layer of cooperative gameplay.Quests in Cards The story in the game is told using Quest cards. Players draw Main Quests — those that push the narrative forward — and Personal Quests — side stories gained by exploring the vastness of the province of Skyrim. By completing or failing them the story progresses. Many of these Quests give the players a choice at the end. This choice chains the Quest with a new one creating a branching story that changes every time the game is played. Failing a quest doesn’t mean losing the game; instead failure often becomes another way of choosing. The cards are organized in a way in which if a card is removed as a result of Quest being failed or a game effect is triggered the next card will take its place dramatically changing the story.Combat System With an assortment of weapons ranging from daggers to bows players will be able to engage in combat with dangerous enemies whether they be in a dungeon or part of a questline. Each weapon and spell will inform the player what attacks it can perform and how much Stamina or Magicka they’ll have to spend to use them. The player will roll the custom dice and attempt to overcome each weapon’s specific Skill Tests; hitting with heavier weapons is bound to be harder than hitting with lighter weapons. Combat is fast exciting and deadly although strategy is a key factor to success. Some enemies in fact will employ unorthodox tactics including the ability to heal themselves or wear nearly impenetrable armors.Dungeon Crawling Players can visit increasingly dangerous caves mines tombs ruins and Dwemer cities across Skyrim. Dungeons are built with cards each representing a major threat in that area of the dungeon. It might be a terrifying Draugr or a surprise trap that if you’re lucky one of the characters may be capable of disabling. As the characters level up the lower-level adversaries are discarded scaling the difficulty of the dungeons along with the player’s level. The more you visit a certain type of dungeon the more likely you will see its more fearsome denizens albeit with better rewards! All in all the Elder Scrolls Skyrim Adventure Game will offer players dozens and dozens of hours of adventure exploring the game world. Expansions will ensure there’s even more Skyrim to be had.

In the days before the Void consumed much of the Old World there were stalwart humans elves dwarves and gnomes who banded together to invade the deep places of the earth. 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 Ravens of Thri Sahashri is a two-player cooperative card game. One player is playing the girl Ren who has lost her memory; the other is her psychic friend Feth who is trying to repair it. The game is about trying to communicate as well as possible by simply the choice of cards. (Note: Thri Sahashri is the buddhist term for a trillion worlds combined which in this case means the other plane.)Of a deck consisting of cards of five colors and numbered 1–5 the Ren player draws four cards and keeps them face down. The goal for both players is to ensure that when the hand ends the playing field has cards of these colors and these colors only.Each round the Feth player draws as many cards as he wishes from the shuffled deck putting them on the playing field according to the marks on the cards. The deck also contains ravens which when drawn will eat any discarded cards of that color and threaten to take them out of the game.When the Feth player is done the Ren player picks one of the cards in the playing field and puts on the leftmost still incomplete hidden card. A hidden card is complete when that card plus the cards placed on it total 7. (The fourth pile however should total only 5 according to the Japanese poem metric dodoitsu that goes 7-7-7-5.)Once all four hidden cards are completed the round ends and unless the playing field has exactly the colors represented among the hidden cards the players have failed. The game is played for three hands but in the final hand one hidden card must be completed per round lest the players fail. Players also fail if the deck runs out or if all five Ravens are drawn.

Police Precinct is a cooperative/semi-cooperative game where players are tasked with solving a mysterious murder while simultaneously working to keep crime on the streets under control and to keep the city from falling into chaos.Players take on the role of police officers with different areas of expertise. The players work together to solve the mystery by collecting evidence and eventually arresting the suspect.Complicating matters (optionally) is that there may or may not be a corrupt officer that is being paid off by the murderer to suppress evidence the same evidence everyone else is trying to uncover.Players move around the city searching through randomly shuffled investigation cards for evidence in relation to the murder. The number of investigation cards drawn depends on the character’s rating as well as how many player cards are added by other players to boost the character’s rating for the current “search”. There are four decks of investigation cards (Interview Witness Collect Crime Scene Evidence Examine Body and Locate Murder Weapon) to be searched. These decks are shuffled and placed in different locations. So a player might search the cards in one area and not find any evidence at all… or maybe the bribed cop if there is one did the searching and just said no evidence was found.Players have to find all of the evidence cards from the investigation decks to be able to arrest the murderer.At the end of each player’s turn they draw an event card. These cards represent growing crime and emergencies that are happening in the city. Each one piles on top of the other and if the cops don't stay on top of things they will be buried in crime! These Event cards are placed on the game board at the locations where they occur. Some of them have “unknown circumstance” tokens placed face-down upon them adding even more tension.If too many criminals are located in one area a gang is formed. Each gang has its own power and can cripple the police efforts if not handled quickly and carefully.So not only are the players investigating the murder but they must also arrest street criminals and handle emergencies.Sometimes when a character successfully completes a task that character is rewarded with a doughnut token. These tokens can later be used to help with tasks. However if the character does not complete the task in time the city crime track advances. The track can also advance if street crimes grow so large that no more street criminals can be placed when called for. If the Crime Track advances to the end the murderer escapes justice and the good cops fail the game.To add to the tension even further The good cops only have so many days to complete the investigation. If time runs out once again the murderer shall escape justice!The pressure is great and the stakes are high!

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

Howdy ya'll. C'mon in and sit a spell. Let me tell ya about Jack Colty and his gang and get ya up to gallop on all the interestin' events. Those filthy drovers and gunslingers are dangerous and desperate each one generally havin' killed a man and be content to live on a diet of Navy plug and whiskey. I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after hearin' this here stupefyin' story I'm about to unfold well I guess you folks can make up yer own minds why I retired early.The year is 1892. The bank at Repentance Springs has been robbed. Many good citizens including Sheriff Anton Dreyfus and school-marm Sue Daggett were brutally slain as Colty's gang shot its way whooping and hollering out of town. Colonel Ned McReady and his men are tasked with bringing Jack Colty - a man so mean he'd steal a fly from a blind spider or a coin off a dead man's eyes - and his gang to justice.Revolver is a non-collectable card game set in the Old West.Consisting of two balanced 62 card decks the game pits two players against each other in a life or death struggle. One player takes the role of Colonel Ned McReady and his lawmen and his opponent assumes control of the notorious and deadly Colty gang.At their disposal the Colty gang - the meanest bunch of low down dirty dogs in the West - have a roster of weaponry to bring down the lawmen on their tail: .38 Specials .45 Long Colts 1866 double barrel Derringers and even a Gatling gun! Some example cards from the gang's deck: Cherokee Scout Adios Amigoes! Thanks for yer coffee and eggs ma'am and Chew on this Gringo!The Colonel player's objective is to eliminate all the gang members before they can escape across the Mexican border. He can utilise such cards as Buffalo Stampede Rattlesnake Bite I can smell those yellow bellies on the wind He shot my hat clean off! Apache Scout and Rickety Bridge.The game has an asymmetrical design with both decks featuring different cards and abilities. Revolver is played using a 5-column system representing consecutive gunfights in the following battlegrounds: The Bank at Repentance Springs Whiskey Canyon Buzzard Point Rattlesnake Creek and the 3:15 Express from Rattlesnake Station. Gameplay is quick and bloodthirsty with bandits gunned down frequently and law-men peppered with lead by the well-placed use of Fire at will boys.Numerous tricky decisions must be made throughout. For instance the Colty player could choose to deploy the Jackson Clan during the Whiskey Canyon battle but the resources that this would require might make it a very risky but rewarding play. Similarly the Colonel McReady player can deploy the Colonel at any time during the conflict - he's free to play aboard the 3:15 Express Train but hugely expensive if used at Buzzard Point for instance. Also during the final confrontation Jack Colty can force the train to crash - as a last ditch effort probably killing some of his own crew in the process - he's as crazy as popcorn on a hot stove!Primarily a combat-driven card game each player must manage his deck of cards effectively to win. In addition to simple unique abilities each card also has two values: power and cost. Some simple icons are used to display such things as 'coming-into-play' effects and if a gringo has 'True Grit'.Revolver can trace its parentage back to San Juan Magic: The Gathering Battle Line and is a new implementation of Aliens: This Time It's War.Victory Conditions:The Colty Gang player wins if he manages to Escape across the Mexican border.

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.
