Gen Con is rolling in!!

[imageid=9479940 medium rep]▪️ Gamewright has announced a few new games releasing this month! Who is ready for Forbidden Legacy from designers Rob Daviau & Matt Leacock (together they created Pandemic Legacy: Season 1..., Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West, and so many more!). Many are familiar with Series: Forbidden Games (Gamewright), and they wanted to create a legacy game in the series. If you aren't familiar with the Forbidden series of games, they are all cooperative games where you have to collect and escape before the world collapses. The legacy game will take place over 7 episodes that you can play with up to 4 players.

From the newsletter:

This seven-episode campaign is set in the Forbidden Universe, where players become time-traveling adventurers racing to save a collapsing city.

Guided by a graphic novel, the story unfolds across multiple sessions. New rules, components, and surprises are introduced, and player decisions permanently alter the gameplay.

The Experience
-Seven episodes designed for multi-session play
-Fully cooperative gameplay
-Sealed content revealed as the campaign progresses

▪️ A new dexterity game from Horrible Guildwas announced called Rocking Raft. from deisgner Carlo Emanuele Lanzavecchia (Feuerdrachen). This is a super cute gem-collecting game. It is very simple, as you will just need to collect gems by pushing down on the raft and see what tips off. The gems will go onto your smaller boats that require specific colors. Any extras you can not use will go to the player on your left. The box says for ages 6+ for 2-4 players and plays in 15 minutes.

From the Horrible Guild website:

-Easy-to-learn game, perfect for kids and families: Teach in 5 minutes, play in 15!

-Tactile experience: rotate and rock the raft to earn gems! Great interactivity and table presence

-Includes a variant for experienced sailors. Boats take in water; fill them up before they sink!

▪️ Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid was just released from Maestro Media. From designers Ken Gruhl (Cahoots, Happy Salmon) & Eric M. Lang (Blood Rage, Rising Sun), they bring to you this game, which was inspired by the hit mobile game Clash of Clans. The game plays 2-4 players and lasts about 60-90 minutes.

From BGG:

Inspired by the hit mobile game Clash of Clans, the board game Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid allows players to build defenses, deploy units, and raid friends' bases in a fast-paced, highly strategic battle that brings the thrill of the mobile game to the tabletop. Build up your village, unleash your troops, and smash your rivals in a race for dominance! No base is safe. No clan goes unchallenged. Let the raids begin!

Raiding is the goal of this combat, engine-building game. Send your armies, roll the dice, and watch their cities burn. Destroying your opponents' structures earns you points, resources, and bonuses.

The end of the game is triggered when at least 1 player has 40 or more stars. The player with the most victory stars (points) wins!

▪️ I am pleased to find out that 25th Century Games has picked up the licensing for Beer Mug Dice which is now avaialble. from designer Andreas Schmidt (Heaven & Ale) This is a hilarious push-your-luck barrel-rolling dice game for 3-6 players, playing in 20 minutes. First available under the name Polterfass in 2013, but it never fully made its US release until now. I have had a TON of fun with this game over the years, and now I hope everyone else can have the same enjoyment as I do!

From the newsletter:

Take turns as the sly innkeeper of The Wild Boar tavern, rolling miniature beer barrels and deciding just how generous you are feeling. As the guests secretly place their orders, you will push your luck, re-roll barrels, and try to keep their thirst from exceeding your supply. Know when to close the tap, outsmart your fellow patrons, and collect the most points to become the toast of the tavern!

Beer Mug Dice blends push your luck decisions, bluffing, and interactive gameplay with a lively tavern theme and fun barrels to roll!

▪️ A shiny new title from Geek Attitude Games called Not Alone: Remastered Edition. I am a huge fan of the original Not Alone. Both games were designed by Ghislain Masson. As far as I know, this is Not Alone with extra materials as described below. The game plays 2-7 players in about 30-75 minutes.

From the BGG page:

This Remastered Edition also includes Frozen Lands, an alternative version for 4 to 7 players. It introduces 55 new Place cards and 14 Contamination tokens. Giving up or losing your last Will counter now risks drawing a hidden Contamination token. When rescue finally arrives, every survivor must be clean. One infected player means defeat for the entire team.
