Here is this week’s exciting game arrivals:
New Game!
 |
Tak
University Edition
Cheapass Games |
Tak is a 2-player abstract game introduced in Patrick Rothfuss’ novel, The Wise Man’s Fear.
This compact version is easy to learn how to play but provides plenty of depth. Players take turns either adding a piece to the board, or moving a stack of pieces under their control. Playing a flat piece adds to your road, while playing a piece in the standing position creates a wall, and your capstone piece counts as your road and a blocker. To win, a player must create a line of pieces connecting opposite sides of the board.

Empires Of The Void II
Red Raven Games |
New from Ryan Laukat is Empires Of The Void II, a 2 to 5 player space exploration game.
Publisher description:
Traverse the fringes of the galaxy on a quest to discover new worlds and rebuild your empire. Conquer the fringe of the galaxy using Might or Diplomacy. Manage a hand of cards, each of which adds to an immersive, unfolding narrative.
Empires of the Void II tells a story about eight fringe planets and the species that live on them through unique event and action cards. You’ll find ancient ruins, stop planetary wars, transport desperate leaders to distant locales, and rescue worlds from imminent invasion. You also must choose whether to conquer or befriend the aliens you encounter. Conquering gives areas on which to build, but using diplomacy gives you a special ability and allows you to recruit the alien units to strengthen your forces.
