A game from the designer behind Cacao and Imhotep, both very popular board games with a very simple set rules. This time it’s again the same, but also a totally different game. Build a theme park, where the theme is bears. Combine good old Tetris with card board, and some neat rules, and you’ve got Bärenpark – or Bear Park.
Deck builders are so yesterday, now we build the cards individually instead. Check out this game from AEG, where you always have 20 cards. But, not the same cards. Well, they are the same, only different.
Space is vast, and somewhere out there, there’s a star called Xia. Its galaxy is filled with opportunity. Harvest, become an officer of the law, trade, or exploit others. Cody Miller has made Xia: Legend of a Drift System, a game where you choose your own path, and there are many to choose from.
Get your horns! Attach them to the helmet and then wear it! Not really how it worked, but everybody connects horned helmets with Vikings, for some reason. Here’s Vikingjarl from SB Games, coming to Kickstarter soon.
“They have a cave troll!” – Boromir
And yet, here we are, playing as the troll. And heroes. And monsters. We play all the stuff. Checking out this reprinted game (originally from 2002) from Fantasy Flight Games by Tom Jolly.
Here’s a game that goes in real time, but still keeps the numbers of actions the same for all players, even though no one is waiting for turns. That’s quite nice, and utilizes no less than 8 sand timers to function.
This game is by Tobias Stapelfeldt and from Stronghold Games, or Eggerspiele and Pegasus Spiele in parts of Europe.
Time to check out this epic game from Jamey Stegmaier and Stonemaier Games.
From Cool Mini or Not comes a game about Vikings battling it out and killing for glory, and where the most important thing is to be the MVP of vikings.
