BOARD & CARD GAMES

Eco Fluxx
This beautiful new edition of the nature-themed version of the card game with ever-changing rules features full-color art and is packaged in the new, standard, two-part box for Looney Labs games. There are over a dozen new cards, including Shells, Lizards, and Bats, plus several of the new card type, the Creeper including Forest Fire, Drought, and Flood. As always, a portion of the proceeds from this game are donated to groups working to protect the environment.

Family Fluxx
Three generations of family fun! Easy enough for children, yet still challenging for adults, Family Fluxx is the perfect card game for maximum family fun. Grandma thinks she’s got the win in the bag when she plays the Grandparent Bonus, but oh no! Dad just played the Happy Birthday Goal and Junior’s hand is hiding the Gift and Cake Keepers. With ever-changing rules, it’s anyone’s game.

Arcane Legions Dragons o/t Far East
From the forests of China and the rivers of Japan come two of Asia’s mightiest creatures. Command the fearsome power of China’s royal Forest Dragons and harness the chaotic nature of the Japanese river spirits known as Luck Dragons, both available in this single box. Each set contains one Luck Dragon figure, one Forest Dragon figure, four Unit Cards, and two Formation Bases.

Humans!!! 2: Sea Food
You used to be a police officer, fireman, nurse, etc., but now you’re a zombie and these pesky humans keep trying to kill you! But why? All you want is some nice, delicious brains, and they have plenty! In Humans!!!, players are zombies wandering around town trying to infect as many people as they can.

The first expansion for Humans!!!, Sea Food is set on a naval base and features 30 new Event cards, 15 new tiles, new disks, and expanded rules.

ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

Daring Tales Adventure:Compendium 1
Daring Tales of Adventure: Compendium 1 contains five two-fisted pulp adventures designed for the Savage Worlds roleplaying game. Each adventure in this popular series sees your heroes globetrotting the world in search of ancient relics, long-abandoned tombs, and thwarting evil plots.

Shadowrun Vice
Illegal is a strong word. It means you’re doing something that the government doesn’t want you to do. You’d never do anything like that, right? Or would you? It might be that some laws are… misguided. It’s civil disobedience and a moral imperative to oppose those laws. Gandhi taught us that. My friends and I—we’re here to help you make these difficult moral choices. We’ll even provide you with a support network, if someone objects to your strong moral compass. And, hey, if everything works out, maybe all of us might come out ahead. Don’t worry! We’ve got your back.

Shadowrun 4th Edition: Vice provides a detailed look at all levels of organized crime, from the major transnational syndicates—like the Yakuza, the Triads, and the Mafia—to the smallest street gangs and specialist organizations. History, personality, and membership of these groups are provided along with suggestions on how best to use them as key players in a Shadowrun campaign. The crimes they commit, the metahumans they recruit, the law enforcement they oppose, and the shadowruns they sponsor are all in here. Whether your team of runners works in concert with the criminal underworld or tries to oppose it, Vice will offer new insights and options to your campaign.
