It’s time for another game episode in Season 2 of Table Top, a biweekly series hosted by Star Trek’s Wil Wheaton on Felicia Day’s Channel Geek and Sundry. Today’s featured game is King of Tokyo, a press-your-luck dice game with special powers’ cards thrown in for added  vexation.

King of Tokyo is the work of game designer Richard Garfield, the creator of such games as Robo Rally, The Great Dalmuti, and Magic: The Gathering.



Pull up a front row seat and watch as Wil and his guests, Greg Zeschuk, John Bain (Totalbiscuit), and Craig Benzine assume their monster identities.  It’s Kracken versus Mecha Dragon versus The King versus Gigazaur that are fighting it out to be the King of Tokyo.





We have King of Tokyo available in stock so come in and get your copy today.

In Terra Mystica, players govern one of 14 factions seeking to terraform and colonize the landscape in their favor in order to build structures and preserve their race and culture.  Upgrade structures to provide even more resources, like workers, priests, money, and power, erect temples to gain expanded influence in the 4 cults of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air, and fortify your stronghold to activate your group’s special ability.  Will your people prosper, persevere, and stand the test of time?

Game Profile: Show Manager

Curtains Up!  Will your
shows be the best around the world?


Mechanics Card Drafting, Set Collection
Theme Theater
Publication Queen Games, 1996
Ages 10+
Time 60
Players 2-6
Description
You are a Show Manager.  As a player you will put
together the best cast for 4 musical plays to be performed in the entertainment
capitals of the world.  Each of the
musicals: Moonlight, Lipstick, Queenie and Rats will require a different cast
of characters.


On each turn players will
have 4 potential cast members available for hire.  Some of the cast members will be more
expensive than others.  Those cast
members range from actors that are perfect for one role to actors that are more
diverse but bring less star quality to the performance.  There are even extras that can fill in any
roll.  You just hope people do not notice
that you have a bunch of nobodies in your cast. 
The worst case scenario is that you have someone completely miscast in a
role they cannot handle.  Once players
develop a cast of for one of the musicals they launch their play in one of the
4 available cities.  If the cast is not
very good you might want to launch in Stockholm where the risks are
smallest.  If you think you have a sure
fire hit with your cast you may launch in New York where risks and rewards are
highest.  Once a play like Lipstick is
launched in say Paris, all competing Lipstick productions will have to be
launched in Paris as well.  Players
continue to scramble for talent and manage a dwindling supply of cash until
they successfully launch all 4 musicals. 
In the end all Rats productions will be rated against all other Rats
productions and victory points on a sliding scale from best to worst.  The same is done for each musical.  The winner will be the player with the best
casts in the riskiest cities.  Just don’t
launch a play with a really bad cast anywhere in the world.



We have an open copy of Show Manager in our Store Demo Games Library available for you to try out while you are here.

additional resources and access unique character cards.  Careful placement of buildings will gain
additional resources from any adjacent buildings that are connected by a road.  The character cards offer a variety of
special powers to help players along the way. 
Character cards also award victory points if you hold them at the end of
the game.  The game ends when a player constructs
their 6th building within the city. 
The player with the most victory points wins. 




A copy of OddVille is available in our Store Demo Games Library that you can play while you are here.

Game Arrivals: April 28th – May 4th

Today’s game arrivals includes a new expansion that didn’t “escape” by us. Here are some of the games that came in this week:

Just when you think you’ve gotten a handle on the challenges in Escape: The Curse of the Temple, Queen Games provides you with even more challenges with the Escape: Illusion expansion.
Escape Illusion
Expansion
Queen Games

Escape Illusion provides new challenges with 2 new modules. The Chambers of Illusion module replaces the 6 single gem chamber tiles with illusion tiles.  Beware, these illusion tiles will disappear after the 2 countdowns from the temple thereby leaving some chamber tiles detached from the rest.  The Special Chambers module contains 6 new chamber tiles:

  • Three linked chamber tiles that allow you to activate magic gems, thereby making it easier for the adventurers to escape the temple – but the gems can be activated only if players are in two separate such chambers at the same time.
  • Two double chamber tiles that consist of a front and back room, with access to the back room being available only if you add tiles to the temple and snake around to the back. Why do you want to reach this room? More opportunities to activate magic gems and ease your way out of the temple.
  • One treasure chamber tile, containing a chalice that adventurers must bear to the exit tile. If they fail to do so, they lose the game – even if they otherwise would all escape!
  Can it get any crazier?  The answer is definitely yes!
