Game Arrivals: Oct. 31, 2018

New games keep arriving along with more favorites in restocks.


 New Game
Discover
Lands Unknown
Fantasy Flight

From Fantasy Flight is Discover Lands Unknown, a game of exploration and survival for 1 to 4 players.
Description from Fantasy Flight

Whether you’re playing by yourself or with up to four players, your ultimate goal in Discover: Lands Unknown is to survive—but your adventure holds many of its own secrets. As a Unique Game, every copy of Discover: Lands Unknown is unlike any other in the world. The unique mix of environments, characters, storylines, items, and enemies in each copy of Discover means that your own adventures will play out very differently than your friend’s copy of the game. No matter where you find yourself, you’ll need to survive and uncover the reasons why you’ve awoken, trapped in the wilderness. Whether survival means cooperation or competition is completely up to you!

In each game of Discover, you’ll play a scenario in your own evolving story, drawing your next objectives from quest cards. These quest cards will give you short term goals essential to your survival—the longer you survive, the more likely you’ll find a way home.  Working together with other players, you can complete objectives quickly, but when water is short and creatures stalk the night, isn’t it every survivor for themselves?

 New Game Edition 
Arkham Horror 3rd Edition
Fantasy Flight

Also new from Fantasy Flight is Arkham Horror 3rd Edition, a cooperative game of mystery and terror inspired by  the writings of H.P. Lovecraft.  This edition comes with a fully modular board composed of double-sided tiles providing lots of replayability.

Description from Fantasy Flight

A game of Arkham Horror Third Edition is split into a series of rounds. You and your fellow investigators won’t know how to win the game immediately—it’s not as simple as just closing gates to other worlds! Every scenario begins with archive cards that narratively propel the scenario and provide short-term goals for your investigators to accomplish. As more cards are added to the codex, the mystery begins to unravel, and the investigators just may discover a way to impede the darkness. But as with all games in the Arkham Horror Files, things never quite go according to plan. As doom spreads across the city, other cards will be added to the codex, cards that see the world inch ever-closer to being engulfed by the unknown. The spread of doom, the approach of an Ancient One, and even the investigators’ own choices can lead to new cards being added to the codex, making every turn vital to your success. 

Arkham Horror 3rd Edition

With a fully narrative approach and a branching path within each scenario, Arkham Horror has become a more thematic experience than ever before. As with other games in the Arkham Horror Files, researching clues will often be the key to victory. But this is not always the case, you can never be sure what your next goal will be, meaning you must quickly adapt to new plans.

Games Goes “Off The Charts” – Bohnanza The Duel and Cottage Garden

Two games went “Off The Charts” earlier this week on our trek to Lincoln City for some sunshine and relaxation.



Bohnanza
 The Duel


It was a beautiful day to plant and harvest beans in Bohnanza: The Duel, a perfect 2-player traveling card game. The sun was out and it was so calm that we could play cards while on the beach. Lynn had a powerful field of black-eyed beans, but I managed to actually win by a couple of points with several harvesting’s of chili beans. I’d love to tell you I had a great bluffing strategy during the gifting phase but I think I finally had a clue how to score more bonus cards.


Later, after picking up some snacks and settling in on the deck overlooking the ocean we broke out Uwe Rosenberg’s Cottage Garden.

Cottage Garden

 

We love the Tetris-like feel of Cottage Garden. When the two of us play, the scores are usually close and the decisions maddening. The available tiles always seem to have one too many or one too few squares. While Lynn got both special beehive scoring tokens, she ran out of kitty’s mid-game which put a crimp in completing her boards. I had a little more flexibility at the end to pull out a 3 point victory.




We have an open copy of both Bohnanza: The Duel and Cottage Garden available in our Demo Games Library for you come in and try.

Game Arrivals: Oct. 17, 2018

Oooh, new games have arrived!



 New Game
Orbis
Space Cowboys

Orbis is a 2 to 4-player tactical game of world development and strategic resource management. Each player will build their own their own universe in the shape of a pyramid made up of 14 region tiles and 1 god tile.  Each region tile is a double-sided tile. One side has one of the 5 color types, an effect, and a cost. The other side is wilderness – a wild in color and -1 victory point. The god tiles grant an end of game victory point bonus if the requirement is met.  On their turn, a player must take a tile either among the 9 face-up region tiles in the center of the table or among the available god tiles. When a region tile is taken, a cube matching the color of the chosen region tile will be place on each of the remaining adjacent tiles. Cubes are used to pay the cost of region tiles. The chosen tile and any cubes obtained are then place in your pyramid according to the placement rules. If you cannot or wish not to pay the required cost, then you flip over and place the wilderness side.  Region tile effects are triggered when placed. Replenish the center as tiles are taken. Play continues until all players have constructed their pyramid.  Points are tallied and the player with the most points wins.
