More board game arrivals.  The latest shipment includes the following:




Newly released from Ravensburger is Bora Bora, another big strategy game by designer, Stefan Feld.  

Bora Bora
Ravensburger



In Bora Bora, players build huts and populate them
with men and women, who help them during the game.  Additionally they will send priests to the
temple to influence the Gods.  Players
use dice to perform a variety of actions using careful insight and tactical
planning.


The first phase of each of the 6 game rounds begins with players simultaneously rolling their dice and then in turn selecting one of
their die and placing it on an action tile.
 
The key element to Bora Bora is that when placing a die on an action
tile the value of that die must be lower than the lowest value of die already
occupying that action tile.
  Placing a
high valued die may yield you more options within that action while placing a
low valued die will limit your opponents.

Legends of Andor
Fantasy Flight
Hear the story and live the legend in Legends of Andor, a cooperative adventure game. Players take on the roles of heroes and heroines that band together to defend the fantasy realm of Andor from invading hordes of monsters. Over the course of 5 unique scenarios, players will embark on dangerous quests with a final scenario created by the players themselves.  On their journeys, players will seek out the witch, travel to dwarfs in the Deep Mines, and confront the ancient dragon.  The key to victory is in managing which heroes or heroines will strike out to complete quests and which ones will devote themselves to defending the castle.
