1960: The Making of the President

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:44:45 +0000

All elections are turning points, but the presidential election of 1960 holds a special place in American history. The 1950s had been a period of unparalleled economic growth and US global power under the stewardship of President Dwight Eisenhower and his Vice President, Richard Nixon. Nixon's humble origins gave him a common touch that appealed to small-town America and encompassed the idyllic spirit of the 1950s. Senator John F. Kennedy was in many ways Nixon's antithesis; charming, Harvard-educated and the scion of an American political dynasty, Kennedy challenged Americans to confront the uncertainties and tumult that were already emerging in 1960 with a vision for the country based not in its past but in the new frontier of the future.

In 1960: The Making of the President, you take on the role of one of these formidable opponents as they vie to lead America through an era of turbulent change and upheaval. As candidates, players must contend with all of the great issues of the day, from the Cold War and the voters' pocketbooks to civil rights and religious intolerance. The contest is fought out on an electoral map of the United States as it stood in 1960. Using a card-driven game system, all of the major events which shaped the actual campaign are represented: Nixon's "Lazy Shave", Eisenhower's belated endorsement, and Mayor Daley's "Late Returns from Cook County" are just a few of the many specific event cards players will encounter. The famous televised debates are also a pivotal element of gameplay.

As with a real election campaign, the challenge is to adapt your game plan as the ground shifts beneath your feet. There are never enough resources or time to do everything that needs doing, and you will need to make tough calls about where to expend your efforts if you hope to gain the momentum necessary to propel yourself into the White House. This fast-playing strategy game for two players challenges you to relive the most significant political contest of the Twentieth Century.

Will you recreate history, or rewrite it?

1960: The Making of the President provides you the opportunity to do both.

Prophecy

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:44:45 +0000

Does the blood of the Ancient Kings flow in your veins? Do you have the power to wrest the Artifacts from the Astral Planes and become our King? There is only one way to find out...

Prophecy is a game for 2 to 5 players. Each player chooses a character such as the stoic ranger, the wise druid, the noble paladin or any other of the ten different characters and enters a world of brigands, thieves, demons and undead. But there are also friendly denizens whom you can encounter, skills you can learn, ways to improve yourself physically and mentally, items you can buy or find, and wondrous treasures you can discover. When you are strong enough, you must enter the Astral Planes and fight the guardians for the most powerful objects in the game - the Ancient Artifacts. But you are not the only player with such ambitions. Only one can become Kin and fulfil the Prophecy.

The world of Prophecy is dynamic: creatures lurk in the wilderness, merchants buy and sell rare items, and guilds train brave adventurers. You decide where to go and whether to travel on foot, on horse-back, by boat, or by magic portal. Only with clever tactics - and with the help of your character's skills and magical powers - will you be able to reach the most important places before your opponents do.

Prepare yourself. The adventure awaits!

Commands & Colors Ancients

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:44:45 +0000

Commands & Colors Ancients allows you to re-fight epic battles of the ancient world. Here the focus is on the two rivals for power in the Western Mediterranean - Carthage and Rome. Will you, as Hannibal, triumph over larger Roman armies; or as Scipio Africanus, will you beat Hannibal with newer tactics of your own?

Units in both armies can only move and fight when ordered. The command playing cards supply those orders, providing an element of luck that creates a fog of war and presents players with both challenges and opportunities. You must maximize your opportunities by playing your command cards judiciously. How well you handle the diverse units, their weapons, and the terrain, will determine victory.

Commands & Colors Ancients contains the battles of Akragas, Crimissos River, Ticinus River, Lake Trasimenus, Cannae, Dertosa, Castulo, Baecula, Ilipa, and Zama.

Battle Line

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:44:45 +0000

Ancient battles were fought in organized formations. The leaders of both sides directed their forces along the battle line to gain tactical advantage in order to overwhelm their opponent in the center, breakthrough one of his flanks, or hold their position until the time came for a decisive move. How will you muster you battle line? Your objective is to create powerful formations on your side of the nine flags, in order to beat the formations on your opponent's side of the respective flags. The first player to win three adjacent flags (a breakthrough) or any five flags (an envelopment) achieves victory. Battle Line is based on Reiner Knizia's original design published in Germany as Schotten-Totten. Battle Line enhances and expands the game system to give the players more tactical options.

Fearsome Floors

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:44:45 +0000

It was fabulous! Fearlessly, you found the 3 fetishes in the Finnish Fjord. With light-footed and foxy feints you ferry the fetishes to prince Fieso in France to free the fascinating faerie Fabula. But Fieso is not fond of foreigners, what a fiasco! You land freezing and foolishly find yourself trapped in a frightful fortress with fearsome floors. Now you must flee Fieso's trap. Furunkulus, the monster, is a frightening freak, especially fond of foolish foreigners. He will feed on you if he is able. So you want to fool Furunkulus and flee to freedom.

Fearsome Floors is a racing game with a twist. Not only must you be fast to the goal, but you must also avoid the monster Furunkulus along the way.

Through clever moves, the players try to move the monster so it goes after other players.

In the basic game, players can hide behind stones and slide through pools. Experienced players can add transparent crystals, turning stones, and teleporters.

Plan carefully, move quickly to the goal, and avoid the monster to win this game.

This is the new English language version of Friedmann Friese's hit game: Finstere Flure.

Carcassonne: Traders & Builders

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:44:45 +0000

This is an expansion that requires Carcassonne.

Traders & Builders adds several new tiles to the game and it adds two major new elements along with it.

The "traders" aspect refers to commodities that are earned whenever a player completes a city (regardless of who scores that city). At the end of the game, whoever holds the most of each commodity (cloth, barrels and wheat) scores an additional ten points.

The "builders" aspect refers to the new builder token. Builders may be placed on a road or city that you have already claimed. Now if you play a tile that extends that road or city, you will get to draw and play a second tile.

If you are a Carcassonne fan, this expansion is a "must have".

Carcassonne

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:44:45 +0000

Carcassonne is a wonderful tile laying game and it's one of our family favorites. It was the winner of the 2001 "Spiel des Jahres" German Game of the Year award.
In Carcassonne, players take turns choosing a tile and adding it to the board. On each turn you may choose to place one of your markers (miniature people - we call them "meeples") on a ladscape element of that tile to claim it as your own. Of course that assumes that you have any meeples left to place. Different landscape elements score differently and they include roads, cities, fields and cloisters. Some of your meeples will be returned to your hand for reuse as cities roads and cloisters are completed and scored. Some will remain on the board for the entire game only to be scored at the very end after the last tile has been played. The trick is to maximize your potential for scoring while not over committing your meeples.
