   New Game Arrival!
T.I.M.E. Stories
Space Cowboys

T.I.M.E. Stories is a co-operative narrative board game. The latest board game from Space Cowboys who did the hit game Splendor.

Players will live adventures in various worlds, through the eyes and characteristics of their character. They will have to fight, search, discuss, and be clever and convincing to the characters they meet… and sometimes even the other agents. Each player will be able to include the dose of “roleplay” they want into the character they’ll have chosen. But they will also need to optimize their actions.

Each scenario contains a new world, new characters, new rules, and new
surprises. This basic box contains the T.I.M.E Stories system and the Asylum scenario.

Between Two Cities
Stonemaier Games
Between Two Cities is a tile-drafting game for 3 to 7 players with an interesting game mechanic.  Each tile is part of a city. You work with the player on your left to build one city center while simultaneously working with the player on your right to build a second city center.  On each turn you select two tiles from your hand, reveal them, then work with your partners to place one of you selected tiles into each of your two cities.

At the end of the game, each city is scored for its architectural grandiosity.  Your final score is the lower of the scores of the two cities you helped design.  The player with the highest score wins.

       New Game Expansion!
Munchkin Kittens
Steve Jackson Games
Munchkin Kittens is the latest blister pack expansion for the base game, Munchkin.

Game Arrivals: Nov. 1st – 7th

Gearing up for the holidays, here is this week’s game arrivals:



     New Game Arrival!
The Game
Spiel… so lange du kannst
IDW & Pandasaurus

The Game is a cooperative card game for 1 to 5 players. It’s easy to learn and quick to play.  The goal is to collectively get all of the 98 cards in the deck into four piles.  Sounds easy, right?

You will have two ascending piles starting with the number 1 card and two descending piles starting with the number 100 card.  On each turn players will play two cards from their hand of 6 to 8 cards onto one or more of these piles.  Next they will draw back up to the hand size from the 98 card deck.There are a couple of twists in the rules and like Hanabi it’s not as easy as it appears to win the game.

       New Game Expansion!
Castles Of Mad King Ludwig
Secrets

Bézier Games
Secrets is the first board game expansion to Castles of Mad King Ludwig, a tile laying game were players build their own perfect castle.

Clever secret passages enhance connections and muffle sound from Activity rooms.

That’s right. Players are Zombies working at a fast-food joint, and they have a handful of random ingredients.

Your job is simple: fill orders faster than everyone else.  This is challenging, but not impossible.  Especially when the customers get impatient and let you leave stuff out.


Lord of the Fries not only has the original Friedey’s restaurant (from Give Me The Brain!) but also includes McFrye’s Coffee and Dessert Shop.
