New Games for June 20 – July 13, 2011

BOARD & CARD GAMES

Ascension Return o/t Fallen Expansion
Playable as a 2-player, stand-alone game, or combined with Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer for an expanded game with up to six players, Return of the Fallen introduces 65 all-new cards for the Center Deck, providing players with the ability to face the God Samael in a final battle to determine the fate of Vigil. Featuring brand-new cards for every faction and strategy and frightening new Monsters, Return of the Fallen also introduces a new Fate mechanic that can change the game with a single flip of a card!

7 Wonders Leaders
With Leaders, the Wonders never cease! Leaders introduces notable personalities who offer various advantages to the 7 Wonders metagame. At the beginning of the game, players create a Leader hand from which they can play at the beginning of every Age, or use to garner money or assist in the building of your Wonder. The recruited Leaders permit you to build certain structures at a cheaper cost (or for free!), or are worth victory points.

Small World Underground Board Game
When in a Hole… Keep Digging! Small World Underground is a stand-alone game set beneath the surface of the same fun, light-hearted Small World universe of epic conquests and fallen empires. Featuring new Races and Special Powers, it also introduces a new twist to the original game play – Monster-occupied regions that protect Relics and Places of great power! Small World Underground can be played on its own or combined with other Small World elements, as many of the Races and Special Powers from the original game and previous expansions are compatible.

Battleship Galaxies
Outsmart and outmaneuver your enemy with courage, instinct, and strategy as the theater of battle launches into the vast reaches of space! When Saturn’s mining settlement is attacked by warmongering aliens known as The Wretcheridians, the newly-commissioned First Fleet of the Intergalactic Space Navy (ISN) races back from the edges of the solar system to mount a fierce defense against the invaders. Command the ISN fleet and defend the settlement, or lead the attack as the commander of the ruthless Wretcheridian invaders in the Battleship Galaxies Board Game.

Cliffourd The Big Red God
Little Wilbur Whateley has a god. It’s a big red god. Other folks have gods, too… but Wilbur has the biggest, reddest god in Dunwich! Renowned Cthulhu Mythos aficionado Kenneth Hite retells H. P. Lovecraft’s classic “The Dunwich Horror” in this story of childhood terror, with adorable illustrations by Andy Hopp.

ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

D&D Fortune Cards Neverwinter
Encounter Fortune! Dungeons & Dragons Fortune Cards give characters fun, temporary, in-game benefits and brief power-ups during encounters without adding undue complexity to the D&D game.

Shadowrun Spy Games
Spy Games brings Shadowrun players to the espionage-filled city of Denver, where secrets are bought and sold, and sometimes the price is paid in blood. Accessing these secrets may mean using cutting-edge surveillance gear or powerful magic, or it could mean turning back the clock and breaking out low-tech cloak-and-dagger approaches that the techheads of the world would never expect. Spy Games provides the setting information, gear statistics, and game rules players need to dive into Sixth World spycraft.
