New Games for October 24 – October 31, 2011

BOARD & CARD GAMES

Walking Dead Board Game (TV)
Based on AMC’s hit zombie television series, players in The Walking Dead Board Game assume the roles of their favorite characters from the TV series battling the Walkers to survive in a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested world. Players begin as humans fending off the zombies – but if they succumb to the undead hordes and become a brain-eater, they can cooperate with others who have been infected and team-up against the remaining “human” characters in the game! The Walking Dead Board Game includes two scenarios: “Team Game” and “Survival Mode” – ever-dwindling resources make every decision “life or death”, and as the supplies run out, the tension ramps up!

Penny Arcade Deckbuilding Game
Welcome to the world of Penny Arcade, the top web comic for all things gaming! You’ve followed the way of the warrior, the story of the Cardboard Tube Samurai. You, too, wept with Charles over the lack of Halo on the Macintosh. Now rally your favorite Penny Arcade characters together to build your perfect deck and battle your friends in mass melee fun!

Ninjato
In 12th Century Japan, the Minamoto and Taira clans vie for power while retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa plays his rivals against one another. One of the three factions will triumph to impose the coming social order. In the shadow of these elite powers, a few ninja scheme to exploit the chaos. Daring raids, skill mastery, and subtle intrigue are essential to establishing one’s honor. When the new era dawns, one ninja will flourish as the Ninjato, the Invisible Sword of the ruling family!

Undermining
Undermining casts players in the role of rival miners, hollowing out an alien world in their Universal Mining Vehicle (UMV) for fun and profit. Alongside prized resources like Uranium, Titanium, Diamond, and Niobium, you’re also likely to find powerful alien technologies left behind by an ancient civilization.

Gnomes of Zavandor
Zavandor is a world of contrasts. It is full of breathtaking landscapes, ancient forests, and stunning mountain vistas. But much of Zavandor is defined by industrious mining operations, attacking the great mountain ranges from above and below. Who will become the most successful gem-trading mogul in Zavandor? Like most gnomes, you have two great passions: sparkling gems and wondrous machines. The sought-after gemstones can be unearthed around the mining town of Diamantina, then sold at the gem exchange where shady traders are always willing to engage in a little wheeling and dealing for valuable mining rights, artifacts, and jewelry.
