Cthulhu Fluxx
Looney Labs

Here is a description from Looney Labs:

Follow the wild-eyed Poet, the obsessed Artist, and the expeditions of the Professor as they investigate Eldritch Secrets no mortal was meant to discover. Someone has stolen the Necronomicon from the library at Miskatonic University, and a Farm in the hills is undergoing a horrifying Metamorphosis.  Meanwhile, unspeakable abominations stir in Penguin-riddled Tombs beneath the ice.  Are you Inevitably Doomed to a lifetime of Nightmares in the Sanitarium, or are you, in fact, a Secret Cultist, worshiping the Minions of Darkness?

Expanding the Demo Game Library: High Noon Saloon and Cardcassonne

Adding to our Demo Game Library are these two quick to learn and easy to play games:

High Noon Saloon
Slugfest Games

High Noon Saloon is a fast-paced shootout.  Players are combatants in an all-out brawl fought in an old west saloon where the last one standin’ wins and there ain’t no prize for second!

This is the perfect game on a Friday night to take out the frustrations of the week on up to five of your friends. Fill your fist with your weapon of choice.  Make sure you have bullets.  If not, grab whatever is handy, a Hunk o’ Wood, a Chair, or even a Red Hot Fire Poker.  Call ’em out from behind the bar or from the piano; jump off the upstairs balcony, thump them good and then hunker down for the next round.

Cardcassonne
Rio Grande Games

The first thing that you should know about Cardcassonne is that it does not play like Carcassonne.  The game play is dramatically different.


In Cardcassonne players create rows of cards in a central play area.  The cards are a makeup of person cards, animal cards, and building cards. On your turn you can either continue to build on the rows or claim a row.  However, you may only make one claim per round.  There is a definite press your luck element as to when to claim your row.  Rows can contain both face-up and face-down cards adding to the dilemma.


Sets of Person cards are scored  then discarded at the end each round.  Sets of Animal cards are scored at the end of each round and held for future additions that increase in point value.  Sets of Building cards are collected and scored at the end of the game.  The player with the most points wins.




Come in and try out High Noon Saloon and Cardcassonne. While you are here in the store

Game Profile: Finca

It’s harvest time on the Isle of Mallorca.




Mechanics Set Collection
Theme Farming
Publication Rio Grande Games, 2009
Ages 10+
Time 45
Players 2 – 4
Description
Finca (Spanish for an estate next to a plantation) is a family friendly game with a cool looking board
and colorful components.  The goal in Finca
is to harvest as many of the island’s tropical fruits and deliver them to the
island communities for victory points. 
The player with the most victory points wins.

Players take on the role
of Mallorcan farmers striving to harvest as many of the island’s tropical
fruits: figs, almonds, olives, oranges, grapes, and lemons, as possible.  To do this, players move their farmers around
on the blades of a windmill.  Where these
farmers land will determine which fruit they will receive on that turn.  When crossing certain points on the windmill
players will acquire donkey tokens that will be used to deliver fruits around
the island.  Delivering fruits to any of
the 10 island regions gains you victory points. 
Bonus points can be earned by delivering the most of a particular fruit and/or
by accumulating a wide range of point scoring tokens.

Finca is a game that is deceptively easy on the
surface, but has enough depth to challenge even accomplished gamers.

Watch this video for an game play overview.
We have an open copy of Finca is available in our Store Demo Library for you come in and try out.
