The Great War in Europe 1914 - 1918 (Deluxe Edition)

Sat, 26 May 2012 20:35:04 -0600

The Great War of 1914 - 1918 was a cataclysmic struggle that ranged from the flooded fields of Flanders to the scorching deserts of Arabia. It was a war of cavalry and trench warfare, massed infantry attacks and shock troop tactics. It was the war that introduced tanks, strategic bombing, submarine warfare, and poison gas. It toppled ancient dynasties, brought Lenin and his Bolsheviks to power, and saw America intervene for the first time on European battlefields. The Great War in Europe: Deluxe Edition is a new, extensively revised and combined edition of two of Ted Raicer's most successful designs, The Great War in Europe (winner of two Charles S. Roberts Awards) and The Great War in the Near East. The divisional level order of battle includes infantry, cavalry, army headquarters (with attached artillery), German stosstruppen and Allied tanks. The three beautiful maps cover the battlefields of the Western Front, Russia, the Balkans, and the Near East (Egypt, the Caucasus, and modern-day Iraq). The Great War in Europe Deluxe Edition contains many innovative features, including event chits that introduce new weapons, tactics, and political events into the game, Trench Levels for different nations at different points in the war that remove the need to place hundreds of trench markers on the maps, rules to cover the German U-boat campaigns and its effects on US neutrality, and the conversion of the Tsarist army to the weaker units of the demoralized Provisional Government after the fall of the Tsar. Best of all, this is a rare monster game that two people can play to completion in a long weekend's gaming. That's because the maps divide the game into Eastern and Western fronts, allowing one player to move and attack in the east, while the other is moving and attacking in the west. No waiting around for 15 minutes while your opponent moves all his divisions, this mechanic effectively cuts playing time for two players (or teams) in half. The Great War in Europe Deluxe Edition has a hostr of one, two, and three map scenarios. You can play The Great War in Europe and the Near East separately or together, and play out each year of the war in its own scenario. Also, pre-war variant chits allow you to explore major What-Ifs (what if Teddy Roosevelt won the election of 1912?). The mobilization orders have been given. The armies of the Imperial Europe are on the march. The course of History is your to direct...

Dominion: Intrigue

Tue, 22 May 2012 12:11:51 -0600

Something's afoot. The steward smiles at you like he has a secret, or like he thinks you have a secret, or like you think he thinks you have a secret. There are secret plots brewing, you're sure of it. At the very least, there are yours. a passing servant murmurs, "The eggs are on the plate".

Dominion: Hinterlands

Tue, 22 May 2012 12:11:41 -0600

The world is big and your kingdom small. Small when compared to the world, that is; it's moderate-sized when compared to other kingdoms. But in a big world like this one - big when compared to smaller worlds anyway, if such things exist; it's moderate-sized when compared to worlds of roughly the same size, and a little small when compared to worlds just a little larger - well, to make a long story short - short when compared to longer stories anyway - it is time to stretch your borders. You've heard of far-off places - exotic countries, where they have pancakes but not waffles, where the people wear the wrong number of shirts, and don't even have a word for the look two people give each other when they each hope that the other will do something that they both want done but which neither of them wants to do. It is to these lands that you now turn your gaze. This is the 6th addition to the game of Dominion. It adds 26 new Kingdom cards to Dominion, including 20 Actions, 3 Treasures, 3 Victory cards, and 3 Reactions. The central theme is cards that do something immediately when you buy them or gain them. Dominion: Hinterlands is an expansion, and cannot be played by itself; to play with it, you need Dominion, or a standalone expansion to Dominion (e.g., Dominion: Intrigue). Those provide the Basic cards you need to play (Treasure, Victory, and Curse cards), as well as the full rules for setup and gameplay. Dominion: Hinterlands can also be combined with any other Dominion expansions you have. We hope you enjoy this expanding world of Dominion!

Nanuk

Winter is coming. All the hunters boasted of their prowess, but you boasted the loudest. Now you have to deliver . . . In Nanuk, each player bids for how long he can stay on the trail and how much he will bring home. Each boast must be greater than the one before, until one hunter refuses to raise the bid, saying "You're doomed!" Then the hunt begins. Will the hunt leader make good on his boast, or will the doomers be right? Every player decides secretly to help . . . or to let it fail. Beware Nanuk, the great polar bear, who can end any hunt in failure. If you find an inuksuk, it will protect you - once. If the hunt is successful, the hunters share the animals collected. But if the hunt fails, the doomers score instead. Nanuk is a fast-playing, highly social game of bidding and bluffing for 5 to 8 players.
