Second World War at Sea: Coral Sea: The First Carrier Battle, 1942 Avalanche Press 014263
In May 1942, the Japanese sought to capture Port Moresby on the south coast of New Guinea and interrupt communications between the United States and Australia. Such a move, they hoped, would bring the Americans to battle.
The United States Navy needed no special inducement to fight its nation's enemies. Two American aircraft carriers met one small and two large Japanese carriers in the world's first battle between these powerful new warships. For the first time in naval history, a major battle was decided with no warship of either fleet even sighting an enemy ship directly. Aircraft were the new measure of naval power.
Coral Sea is the new introductory boxed game for the Second World War at Sea series. It covers this key battle and is intended as a gateway for players new to the world's most popular series of naval boardgames. The Japanese player must establish new bases in New Guinea and at Tulagi in the Solomon Islands; the American player must stop them. Forces are very closely balanced, and victory will rest with the player who can best make use of his or her resources.
The 22x17-inch operational map covers the Coral Sea off northeastern Australia as well as surrounding waters. Players maneuver their task forces on this map and search for one another with aircraft, submarines and surface ships. When contact is made, player moves to the tactical map.
The tactical map is a generic blue field of hexagons, used to resolve surface combat. There, ships maneuver and fight using their gunnery and torpedo factors. Each player rolls a number of dice according to the ship's capabilities, hitting on a result of 6. Gunnery and torpedo damage tables give the results: ships can suffer damage to engines, hull or armament. Air attacks are resolved in similar fashion. The combat systems yield results rapidly but in a historically accurate fashion, giving a good balance of fun and insight.

From tropical coasts, where greedy colonial powers pillage the land, to remote jungles and rolling savannas of mystics and lion-riders, the Mwangi Expanse is a region of boundless opportunity. Underneath the steaming jungle canopy, the lost ruins of ancient giants shelter isolated tribes, bloodthirsty predators, and screaming hordes of demon-worshiping apes.

The deep waters of the Hellmouth Gulf have long concealed ancient mysteries, both wondrous and terrible.

Strange creatures now venture from beneath the waves to steal townsfolk away in the dark of night.
Can the PCs discover the fate of Blackcove's lost villagers? What secrets still lie hidden on the mysterious, ruined island just offshore, and what now lurks in the flooded temples beneath the isle? And what horrific fate lies in store for those unfortunate souls who fall prey to the island's eldritch influence?

Pathfinder Companion: Sarcava: The Lost Colony Paizo 014246
Edge of the Empire
On the distant shores of an unexplored tropical continent, brave colonists strive to break with their devil-haunted past and make new lives for themselves in a land of plenty. Yet in fleeing tyranny, these colonists have also imposed their own, and the land's indigenous peoples have greeted the imperialistic settlers with open arms and leveled spears. This is Sargava: a nation on the brink of disaster, surrounded on all sides by pirates, hostile natives, and trackless jungles full of howling beasts and ancient ruins. Through its ports flood ancient treasures beyond imagination, brought forth from the wilderness by the blood and sweat of intrepid explorers. But can the colonists maintain their delicate balance, or will greed and their own deals with the devil see them swept into the sea?
    * This Pathfinder Companion includes: A complete overview of the colony of Sargava, from its pirate-aided break with Cheliax to the various native peoples, tropical hazards, and daring adventuring companies that influence daily life.
    * Details on the nation's major settlements, including ruined Kalabuto and the staunchly traditional port of Eleder.
    * Adventure sites such as Barkskin Lake, Smuggler's Shiv, and the infamous magical prison known as the Stasis Fields.
    * An overview of religion in Sargava, and how the colonists' faith interacts with that of local tribes.
    * New spells designed to make life in Sargava easier on poorly adapted colonists, as well as combat feats drawn straight from the fighting styles of tribal warriors.
    * New traits to help customize Sargavan characters, both native and colonial.
This player-friendly Pathfinder Companion works best with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game or the 3.5 version of the world's oldest fantasy roleplaying game. Although easily incorporated into any fantasy world, it is optimized for the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting.

Wild Talents: Grim War Cubicle 7 014250
"Grim War" is a "Wild Talents" roleplaying game sourcebook of superpowered mutants, nefarious sorcerers, and the ordinary men and women trying to control them all.
Written by "Wild Talents" co-authors Greg Stolze and Kenneth Hite, and illustrated by Todd Shearer, "Grim War" introduces a fascinating and weird new system of spirit-summoning magic. Sorcerous characters can wield fantastic powerif they are willing to pay the price. "Grim War" details dozens of bizarre and sometimes terrifying spirits and the harrowing spells required to treat with them.
"Grim War" brings the "company rules" of Greg Stolze's "Reign" to the superpowered action of "Wild Talents" (you need "Reign" to use the company rules), allowing players to join, influence or oppose a dozen fully-detailed sorcerous cabals and mutant factions. Such as . . .
The Xolotl Cartel, which has found smuggling far more lucrative than secret ceremonies in hidden temples, and magic far more profitable than any drug. . . . People for Religious Freedom, a well-meaning political action group in way over its head. . . . Direktiva Nul, once an agency for Soviet super spies, now the first line of defense against threats from the Otherworld. . . . Squadron A1, the U.S. Army's famous superteam, comprised only of the most upright superheroes America has to offer. (Honest. Would the American government lie to you?) Not to mention Ákrab-i-allah. Citizens Against Reductionist Genetic Obsessions (CARGO). Next Iteration. The Piccione Family. Projekt Ethnologisches Literaturarchiv-Sonderabteillung. The Rational Occult Study Crossdisciplinary Research Organization (ROSCRO). The School of the American Future. The Way.
Each faction has its own goals, its own secrets, and its own agenda for the player characters.
An extensive chapter on the background of this fascinating world offers guidelines for playing in any point in the 20th and 21st centuries, so the players themselves can define the shape and course of the Grim War.

RuneQuest II: Core Rulebook Mongoose 014251
Mongoose is now delighted to announce the release of RuneQuest II. This new edition of the classic game has taken just about every aspect of the first edition, scrutinised it, revised it, and restructured it to bring RuneQuest aficionados and new players alike the very best incarnation of the classic games engine. RuneQuest fans will not be dissappointed in the attention lavished on the new game. In particular they can expect:
A streamlined and revised character creation system, with greater emphasis on character background, but also significant changes that influence a character's starting skills and abilities and the speed with which adventurers develop, improve and progress. Particular attention has been paid to training and skill improvement, but you will also find that the structure and range of skills is greatly enhanced, meaning that new RuneQuest adventurers begin with a greater degree of competence across the board.
Combat - perhaps the most controversial aspect of the first edition of the game - has been almost completely retooled. Although all the familiar concepts remain (Combat Actions, Strike Rank and so forth), the combat process is based on simple rolls, does not rely on any resolution matrix, and introduces special Combat Manoeuvres simulating the cut and thrust of real combat whilst offering a truly epic, cinematic edge. Combat is faster than before an perhaps more deadly, but every RuneQuest character will find a greater range of tactical options and combat effects that create a satisfying, exciting, combat flow.
Magic, too, has undergone radical redefinition. Common Magic, available to all, replaces Rune Magic; Divine Magic establishes and emphasises the need for, and importance of, a relationship with a god; Sorcery, the most complex of the magic systems, has been considerably streamlined to reflect the nature of the sorcerer and the immense power a cunning sorcery practitioner can command. Spirit Magic has been completely rebuilt, truly focusing on the nature of the spirit world and how the shaman interacts with it: spirit magic is intuitive and dynamic in its approach. Fundamentally though, the importance and nature of the runes - the heart of RuneQuest - are explained and linked through each magic system without ever dominating one particular magical type
Cults, another crucial facet of RuneQuest, have been redesigned and extended in scope. The nature of the relationship with the cult is at the heart of the cult rules, with the most devout gaining the greatest rewards. Cults are more than just places to gain spells and cheap training; their mythical significance, and relationship to myth, runs through the cult structure, driving and shaping the way its members behave.
Elsewhere, RuneQuest II tweaks and brings subtle changes to other aspects of the core system. The presentation of the game rules has been restructured to make it easier for Games Masters and players to find what they need, when they need it. The system is designed with clarity and ease of use in mind. Some - many - rules have needed little or no alteration. Others are common sense tweaks to assist both game balance and maximising game fun, whilst retaining the 'realism' for which RuneQuest is renown.
Great pains have been taken to ensure full backwards compatibility. Although RuneQuest II changes many things, its core and heart remains the same. With a little conversion work Games Masters will be able to easily adapt their first edition characters and settings to the new and, in just about every case, adventurers will improve as a result of conversion. All first edition books and expansions remain compatible with RuneQuest II and, indeed, material presented in first edition expansions has become the foundation for the new game.
So, it is with great pride that we bring you RuneQuest II; a new take on a classic system, assembled by designers and writers who have more than 50 years of RuneQuest experience between them.

Stalin's War GMT Games 14229
Designed by award-winning designer Ted S. Raicer, Stalin's War is a unique Card-Driven Game (CDG) on that most-gamed of subjects, the Eastern Front in WWII. The use of CDG mechanics adapted from Paths of Glory and WW2: Barbarossa to Berlin to a hex-grid land wargame allows players to experience both the broad range of strategic and tactical options of a CDG, and the operational armored maneuvering of a typical hexagon East Front design.
The large hex map stretches from Berlin to the Urals and Murmansk to Baku, allowing the full range of strategic possibilities open to both the Axis and the Soviets. Terrain types include clear, rough, forest, swamp, mountain, desert, city, major city, fortress, river, major river (the Dnepr, Volga , Don), and rail lines. Turns are seasonal (with a special turn for June 41) running to Summer 45.
Axis units are armies (which can have up to four steps on two counters) and corps. All the panzer units are represented as corps (controlled by Panzergroup/Army Headquarters which give the Germans certain advantages in waging blitzkrieg on the Russian steppes). Soviet units are armies and fronts, along with their large (but irreplaceable) 1941 mechanized corps, and late-war Guard cavalry-mechanized corps.
As in WW2:BtB both sides have their own deck of 55 cards, subdivided into Blitz and Total War cards. Cards contain Operation Points (OPs), Replacements, and Events. Unlike PoG or WW2:BtB, OPs are not generally required to activate units for movement but are required for combat. When you declare an Operations Round you can move all units and then conduct combat for those with a combat marker. After combat mechanized units (including Soviet Guards) may Exploit, ignoring enemy Zones of Control, and creating the great pocketing battles and deep armored thrusts of these campaigns.
ZOCs in Stalin's War are "sticky." Except during Exploitation or Advance after Combat (or Combat forced retreat), you can't leave an enemy ZOC unless you leave a unit in the hex being exited OR you spend an OPS to activate that hex.
Stalin's War models the logistical constraints of this vast contest in two different ways. First, the map is marked with Logistical lines that affect the Axis ability to operate deep in the USSR (especially in 1941). And both sides are affected by the concept of Consecutive OPs rounds, where each friendly OP round taken after the first costs one additional OP from the card being played. So for example if you take two OP rounds in a row, the second will reduce a 4 OPS card played to a 3. If you take three in a row it will reduce the card played in the third round by two OPs (so a 4 would be a 2). By the 5th round you are subtracting 4 OPS, and since 5 OPS is the highest card, 6 consecutive rounds (even spread out over two turns) are not possible. In practice while taking two OPs rounds in a row will be quite common, taking 3 or more consecutive rounds will require an excellent reason (and good cards). This allows the easier play of Events and also shows the increased strain of continuous operations.
And there are plenty of Events to play, representing leaders, weapons, reinforcements, and the effects of the war on other fronts. The 1944 Warsaw Uprising, Manstein's Backhand Blow, Stalin and Hitler's meddling, the Battle of the Bulge, Soviet Amphibious Invasions, Airborne Corps, even Soviet mice (which nibbled through the wiring of dug-in German Panzers in the fall of 1942) are included.
Stalin's War allows players, for the first time, to combine the best of WWII operational play with the strategic depth and tactical chrome of CDG designs. A genuinely new look the most important theater of WWII, this a game both fans of CDGs and WWII "panzer pushers" will want to play again and again

Deus Vult Mongoose 014205
In 1095, Pope Urban II called on the kings and knights of Europe to liberate the Holy Land in a great crusade. As one they lifted their voices to Heaven, crying deus vult - God wills it! This cry was taken up by thousands of knights and peasants, martyrs and madmen, as a great tide of righteous fury flooded across the world.
This cry was heard in the shadows, too. Since the days of the apostles, a secret order of warrior monks guarded the church and protected Christendom from all enemies, both natural and supernatural. Trained from birth and equipped with lost secrets of ancient civilisations, this secret order also hears the call to crusade. Deus vult - God will it, and they are the instruments of His divine Will.
It is the closing years of the twelfth century. Saladin has reconquered the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and the holy city is once more in the hands of the Saracen. Heresies and sorcery rot Europe from within, while the nobles quarrel and bicker. Even the church is falling prey to this corruption. The world must be saved, through any means necessary. No enemy, no sorcery, no doubt and no fear will prevent the monks of the Order from carrying out the Will of God. Deus Vult!

Nations of Barsaive I: Throal Mongoose 014207
ON THE BRINK OF WAR
The kingdom of Throal is the heart of Barsaive, the center of culture, commerce and knowledge. The dwarfs united the people of Barsive and threw off the yoke of oppression; now traders and adventurers from the dwarf kingdom travel across the land, bringing prosperity and liberty to every town and village. But the end of those peaceful days is looming on the horizon, and the nations of Barsaive struggle to survive the great war that seems inevitable.
The return of the Therans and the brutal assassination of Throal's greatest king have thrown the province off-balance. The only heir to the throne, King Neden, turned out to be a hot-headed youth who began his reign with a military assault against the hated Therans. He failed, and soon realized that the Denairastas of Iopos have played a deadly political game to put the dwarf kingdom and the Theran Empire at each other's throats and Throal's population on the verge of civil war...
Nations of Barsaive Volume One: Throal offers Earthdawn players and gamemasters an in-depth look at the mighty dwarf kingdom. From the bustling, noisy Grand Bazaar to the majestic chambers of the Royal Hall, the Kingdom of Throal encompasses seven cities full of people from all walks of life.

Reign: Enchiridion Cubicle 7 014213
The REIGN Enchiridion is a digest-size paperback that contains the complete rules for Greg Stolze's hit fantasy roleplaying game "REIGN: A Game of Lords and Leaders."
REIGN expands the frontiers of fantasy gaming by elevating the action to an international stage. Monarchs, mercenaries and merchant princes gamble armies and fortunes to win nations in a rich and vibrant fantasy setting. REIGN's simple but complete rules model the triumphs and disasters of societies as small as a village or as large as a realm-spanning religion. With REIGN, your characters can defend threatened nations, bring prosperity to desperate provinces, make laws and perpetuate justice or, if you prefer, loot, conquer and pillage on a vast and awesome scale.
Powered by a fantasy-optimized version of the One-Roll Engine (or ORE) popularized by Godlike, Nemesis, Wild Talents, and Monsters and Other Chidlish Things, REIGN can take your characters from beggars to emperors. The ORE resolves events in delicate detail without cumbersome layers of contingent rolls.
In REIGN, the characters aren't lone wolf strangers in strange lands, but leaders of communities, and those groups of followers can resolve large-scale conflicts against their rivals. This divide allows players to focus on the story elements they choose. If they don't care for blow-by-blow combat, they can simply send their army to besiege an enemy stronghold. On the other hand, if they lead the attack in person, they can drastically improve the chances of success or doom their enterprise through foolish choices. The benefits of ruling are great, but the consequences of failure are drastic.
The group-resolution rules from REIGN are self-contained and modular. It's a simple matter to stack them on top of any other RPG system. Want a concrete way to model what happens to the city when your superheroes destroy the Cult of Moloch Triumphant? Use REIGN to stat up the city and the cult. Ever wonder who'd win if two rival government conspiracies went head to head? REIGN lets you measure their weaknesses and strengths, then test them against one another. Fantasy kingdoms, cosmic empires and secretive cabals can all be easily managed and modeled with REIGN.
The REIGN Enchiridion includes:
The complete rules for REIGN, without the detailed setting chapters that are in the larger core book.
Material from the first two years of online REIGN supplements, such as rules for building new spells and new schools of sorcery from scratch.
Two new gamer-friendly tools, included by popular demand: "One-Roll Spells" and "One-Roll Monsters."
The REIGN Enchiridion is a handy, indispensable reference for any REIGN game table.

Crusaders of the Amber Coast Cubicle 7 014214
It is the year 1206 AD. In the city of Riga, a Christian outpost in the pagan lands of the frozen North, Prince-Bishop Albert founds the Brotherhood of the Sword to subjugate the pagans and convert them to the True Faith. Twenty years later, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, the Stupor Mundi, decrees in his Golden Bull of Rimini that the lands conquered by the Teutonic Order in Prussia will belong to the warrior monks. Knights, friars and colonists from all over the Empire move towards the Baltic Sea to find forgiveness for their sins and commodities for their trade, as the Baltic coast is home to the strangest of the precious stones: Amber. The age of the Northern Crusades has begun.
The path to virtue, glory and riches lies in front of your heroes, but countless enemies stand between them and their goals: the ruthless Lithuanians of Archduke Mindaugas, the Mongol raiders of Gengis Khan's Golden Horde, and emerging Russian Princes like young Aleksandr Nevskij. And in the deep woods and dark marshes of the Baltic Coast, fantastic creatures and ancient deities who are hostile to mankind await.
This book contains all the information required to run your Northern Crusade game with the Basic Roleplaying game system, including magic rules for the Christian crusaders and the pagan druids and witches, as well as game statistics for creatures of the Baltic folklore. Create your own scenarios, with your heroes siding either with the Crusading invaders or with the Baltic natives, or play through the included campaign that spans over several years of game time and takes you through the most important events of the Baltic epic.

The race is on, but will The Muramasa Curse strike before the characters can complete their goal! Find out in this action-packed pulp tale!

From the dusty tombs of ancient Egypt to the Acropolis of Athens, the heroes are plagued by dastardly villains with strange powers whose master, the mysterious Black Pharaoh, intends to conquer the world by manipulating the flow of time!

There are strange things going on in your basement laboratories. They keep calling up for more barrels of quicksilver, or bits of your hair. Well it's all in the name of progress. They're looking for a way to turn lead into gold, or at least into something better than lead. That lead had just been too good of a bargain to pass up; you didn't think, where will I put all this lead, what am I going to do with this lead anyway. Well that will all be sorted out. They're also looking for a universal solvent. If they manage that one, you will take whatever they use to hold it in and build a castle out of it. A castle that can't be dissolved! Now that's progress.
This is the 3rd addition to Dominion. It adds new Kingdom cards to Dominion and as it is an expansion, you will need Dominion, or Dominion: Intrigue to play the game.
Dominion: Alchemy is an expansion, and can't be played by itself; to play with it, you need Dominion, or a standalone expansion to Dominion (Dominion: Intrigue). Those provide the Basic cards you need to play (Treasure, Victory, and Curse cards), as well as the full rules for setup and gameplay. Dominion: Alchemy can also be combined with any other Dominion expansions you have.

At the Games of Loyang Z-Man Games 014155
China, 2000 years ago: Loyang (Luòyáng) has risen to become the Capital of the Han Dynasty and one of the four great Capitals of old China. The economic upturn of the now-flourishing city requires a better supply of basic foodstuffs.
You are local farmers, who plant wheat, pumpkins, turnips, cabbages, beans and leeks in their fields. After each harvest, the farmers assemble at the gates of Loyang to sell and trade their vegetables. They deliver to their regular customers or lucratively sell their vegetables to passing shoppers. Vegetables can also be traded at Market stalls or used for seed and planted in fields. If the farmers need vegetables that they don't have in stock, they can buy them in the Shop. Twenty different helpers, each with different individual skills, are available to assist them. The most successful farmer will be the one who moves furthest along the Path of Prosperity within the given timeframe. Each step costs more and more money, which is also needed for investments. Farmers have to find the right balance.
The coins have square holes, so that they can be held on strings. They have the Chinese name "Cash", which is the derivative of the modern term.
This third game in Rosenberg's harvest trilogoy (Agricola and Le Havre being the other two) can also be played solo.

Chariots of Fire GMT Games 014160
The Great Battles of History series ventures back into the mists of time: the Bronze Age, or the Age of the Chariot. From approximately 1700 BC to 1200 BC (which was the abrupt end of the Bronze Age) the chariot reigned supreme on the battlefield. It was the first modern weapons system, and chariots controlled most of warfare until actual cavalry appeared in the middle of the Iron Age.
But how did chariots work as a tactical weapons system? There is no complete historical agreement on what exactly they did or how they were used, but Chariots of Fire will show you our view of their many applications - and many types of chariotry there were - providing GBoH players with the complete and definitive chariot rules. These rules cover combat and mobility from the first battle wagons of the Sumerians to the two-man, fast-moving light chariots of the Egyptians, often complete with their associated and specialized Runner Infantry, to the heavy 3-man Hittite wheels.
To simulate these ancient tactical details Chariots of Fire presents you with nine battles:
·         Sumer (ca 2320 BC) - featuring the legendary Sargon the Great
·            Sekhmen (1875 BC)
·            Megiddo (ca 1479 BC)
·            Senzar (1470)
·            The Astarpa (1312 BC)
·            Kadesh (1300 BC)
·            Nihriya (1230 BC)
·            Babylon (1225 BC)
·            and, Troy (1200 BC) - including an extra: Homer's heros!
And of armies Chariots of Fire has plenty, and a truly colorful bunch they are: Sumerians, Akkadians, all sorts of Egyptians, Canaanites, Hittites, Mitanni, Arzawans, Assyrians, Babylonians, and the Myceaen Age Greeks.

RuneQuest II: Necromantic Arts Mongoose 014141
Life and death are two sides of the same coin, and controlling one gives great power over the other. There are many uses for necromancy, some more potent and dangerous than others. On one level, using corpses as animated labourers is little different from using golems or elementals. Many healing spells are partially necromantic in nature, working with dying instead of dead flesh. Other benign uses of necromantic arts including calling up or otherwise contacting the dead as part of religious ceremonies, or even as part of respectful scholarly inquiry. Some cultures or races may accept such forms of necromancy, as long as the dead are honoured and respected, even if they object to sorcerers marching corpses around.
Necromantic Arts is a toolkit for making despicable and terrifying enemies for the players in your Runequest games. Material in this book can be applied to any setting using the Runequest rules, from Glorantha to Lankhmar to Elric or to your own homebrewed games.

In the greatest betrayal the universe has ever known, the Warmaster Horus once humanity's greatest general, now corrupted by Chaos has turned against the Emperor and hurled the Imperium of Man into ferocious civil war.

Strategy & Tactics #261: The Kaiser's War: World War I, 1918-19   S&T 014147
The Kaiser's War (KW), is an intermediate-complexity, strategic-level simulation of the last year of World War I in Europe, including an optional what-if extension into 1919. As 1918's campaign season opened, the Central Powers had defeated the Russian Empire and dominated much of Europe, yet less than a year later the Western Allies were triumphant.
The concept of "victory points" (VP) is central to play of game. Players begin each scenario with a designated number of VP. They may expend them to gain reinforcements and carry out certain actions. They gain new VP as a result of achieving objectives; they lose VP when they lose units in combat. To win the game you must have more VP than your opponent; so play is a balancing act between expending VP and attaining objectives.
This is a two-player game: one player controls the Central Powers; the other player controls the Allies. Each hex on the map represents 62 miles (100 km) from side to opposite side. The map shows all of Europe from London to Moscow and south to Italy and Greece. Each game turn represents two months. Units of maneuver are mostly armies, along with certain elite and specialized corps. There are 17,500 words in the rules. Two experienced players can finish the shorter (historical) scenario in about four hours. Designed by Joseph Miranda.
The rules cover such things as: mobilization, replacements, unit conversions, trenches, fortified zones, fog of war, railroads, headquarters, air bases, naval bombardment, seasons, neutrals, Bolshevik and nationalist forces, critical cities, psychological warfare, morale, stand-fast orders, shock troops, proto-mechanized warfare, the Poles, the Allied Blockade, alpine units, the USMC, guerillas, the Arab Legion, and much more. The sequence of play is as follows.

Strategy & Tactics #262: Frederick's War: War of the Austrian Secession, 1741-48 S&T 014148
Frederick's War: War of the Austrian Succession (FW), is a wargame of intermediate complexity simulating the struggle for power in Europe during the highpoint of the Enlightenment, 1741-48. It was the era of soldier-kings and enlightened monarchs, when powerful states maneuvered professional armies and fought to gain rich provinces. FW is primarily intended as a multi-player player game. It can be played by two, three or four, with each player representing a different major power: Prussia, Austria, France or Britain. Other states are represented as minor powers. Each player has a variety of military and diplomatic instruments with which he can attempt to make his mark on history.
FW's system is based on our earlier-published 1066 and Hannibal's War games; however, there have been changes to the rules to reflect the differences in scale as well as the era being covered.
The square-grid map shows Europe from London to East Prussia and south to the Balkans and central Italy. Off-map areas are handled using holding boxes. Each game turn represents one year. Each military unit represents 2,500 to 10,000 men. Each square represents 50 miles (81 km) across from side to opposite side. Designed by Joseph Miranda.
Rules cover such things as: the balance of power, negotiations, mobilization, fog of war, honors of war, fortresses, sieges, forced march, ambush, delaying actions, pillage, leaders, veteran and guard units, fleets, fieldworks, minor powers, declaring war, the Holy Roman Empire, prisoners of war and much more. The sequence of play is as follows.

Strange Aeons II Chaosium 014152
"The Great Old Ones were, the Great Old Ones are, the Great Old Ones shall be." That famous saying is the essence of the Cthulhu Mythos. The Great Old Ones are a cosmic evil that have existed since before time, and shall exist long after humanity has gone the way of the dinosaurs. This book illustrates the eternal struggle between man and the forces of the mythos.
This book contains nine scenarios that run the chronological gambit from prehistoric times to a distant future. Each adventure comes with six pre-generated characters for the players to use, allowing for quick play with a minimum of fuss. While each scenario is meant to be a standalone experience. Here are brief descriptions of the nine eras the investigators explore:
"CURSED BE THE CITY" can be described as cavemen vs. Cthulhu. While not entirely accurate, it is fun to say, and gives an idea of what the players will be up against.
"CHILDREN OF A STARRY HEAVEN" is set in ancient Greece, the birthplace of many great philosophers and thinkers. Unfortunately some great minds dwell on things man was not meant to know.
"THEY DID NOT THINK IT TOO MANY" See the might of ancient Rome bring law to the wilds of Britannia. Witness two cultures trying to learn from each other. Behold the terrible awfulness of the Mythos and how even the mightiest empire of man is powerless before it.
"MASTER WU'S MARRIAGE" a lovely springtime wedding, surely nothing bad can happen here. Unless the wedding takes place in Call of Cthulhu, then all bets are off.
"THE IRON BANDED BOX" set in feudal Japan, it's like what would have happened if Akira Kurosawa directed an adaptation of a H.P. Lovecraft story. Beautiful, strange, messy, and with swords!
"TO HELL OR CONNAUGHT" it's Protestant vs. Catholic, English vs. Irish, and mankind vs. the Cthulhu Mythos with Saint Patrick thrown in for good measure. Who will win? The smart money is on the Mythos.
"A HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL" set in the American Civil War, this scenario chronicles the horrors of war where brother fights brotherand then everyone fights a cosmic horror beyond description.
"THREE DAYS OF PEACE, MUSIC, AND TENTACLE LOVE" Taking place at the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969 with sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, and black magic. A terrifyingly trippy time is to be had by all.
"TIME AFTER TIME" is a fractured scenario for fractured minds. Here the investigators will think many things, only to find them all false. Identities, locations, adversaries, even correct eras are all anyone's guess here.

Habitat: The North Woods Valley Games 014132
In Habitat, your goal is to attract the most complex and diverse animal life to your portion of the great North Woods. The most vibrant ecosystems are those that have organisms from all levels of life, from the producers up to the dominant predators. Therefore, to win a game of Habitat, a player must create a complete collection of cards ranked 1-8. Cards are stacked in order of rank, from lowest to highest, to form Food Chains. There may be multiple Food Chains and duplicate ranks, but only one card from each rank is needed to win. By contrast, an unsupported chain of cards carries the risk that creatures become hungry, or even begin to starve!
When a player has collected the necessary cards and all animals are fed, that player declares a "Habitat" and wins the game.
Habitat is a game for 2-6 players aged 8 and over.

The Battle for Normandy GMT Games 014122
The Battle for Normandy is a game that represents the climactic campaign in Normandy from D-Day, 6 June 1944 to the first week of August 1944 at primarily battalion level. Numerous scenarios are included to play out various smaller battles in Normandy. It is intended for two players or player teams.
The game uses a unique sequence of play and a system of fire combat throughout the airdrop and beach assault phases with company-level breakdown units, then a more traditional odds-type combat approach throughout the rest of the game. Initial beach defense deployments at start and daily air support and defense allocations, hidden to the opposing player; create a level of uncertainty that makes for a tense, challenging duel.
The game combines a detailed, extensively researched order of battle with relatively fast-playing game mechanics to make it not only the largest representation of the Normandy campaign available to date, but a manageable one that is meant to be played, not shelved. Scenarios include: (As of March 11, 2008 - we are working on a couple more):
    *      Campaign : 5 maps, 6 June - 10 Aug
    *      Bloody Omaha : part of one map, 6 June - 10 June
    *      Cobra : 2 maps (most of play on one though), 25 July - 31 July
    *      Goodwood & Cobra (combined): 4 maps, 18 July - 31 July
    *      Operation Epsom : 1 map, 26 June - 1 July
    *      The Battle for Cherbourg : 1 map, 18 June - 27 June
A future expansion will extend the play area south, to include the Mortain and Falaise scenarios, and extend the campaign to late August and the 3rd Army breakout.

Flying Colors Volume II: Serpent of the Sea GMT Games 014123
In 1775, Colonel Christopher Gadsden presented his design of a naval jack to the first commander-in-chief of the newly created Continental Navy. His design of a coiled serpent on a yellow background was derived from a similar design found on drums carried by the first Marines. Printed with the design was a motto that embodied the sentiment of the American colonies:
"Don't Tread On Me!"
Serpents of the Seas is the second stand-alone volume in the Flying Colors series of naval combat games and represents frigate actions and the rise of the American Navy. Unlike the larger battles between ships of the line depicted in Flying Colors,
Unlike the larger battles between ships of the line depicted in Flying Colors (Volume I), Serpents of the Seas includes sixteen battles from the American Revolutionary era and the War of 1812 that involve smaller ships -- from tiny gunboats with only one or two cannon through "5th Rate" frigates of less than 50 guns.
Also depicted are three dozen "Ship Duels" between one or two vessels on a side, like the mighty Constitution ("Old Ironsides") against her foes Java and Guerriere. To make these duels more challenging, an all new initiative system has been created using activation cards that might grant players a jump on their opponents, but limit their flexibility in the process. The cards can also be used as events that provide additional shipboard flavor. These new systems are fully compatible with the original Flying Colors game, with mechanics that can be selected a la carte.
$69.00

Washington's War GMT Games 014124
Washington's War is the long awaited re-design of the original card driven game, We the People. Washington's War, like it's predecessor, pits the forces of a world power (England) against its rebellious American colonists as they fight for their independence.
Washington's War is a true re-design that maintains the deep strategy ofWe the People while creating a game with a very short playing time (approximately 90 minutes). Unlike most wargames, Washington's War allows you and your opponent to play twice while switching sides in one sitting. This feature allows for rapid tournament play either face-to-face or on the Internet. Washington's War is the perfect antidote for a time conscious crowd whose only option up to now have been Eurogames.
Washington's War features a dice-driven combat system that quickly resolves combat and is very friendly to Internet play. The game also features a new CDG discard mechanic that makes every card in your hand playable by allowing your opponent to buy his discarded events for an operations card. Now, unusual card distributions create challenges adn not insurmountable barriers for advancing your strategy.
The biggest design changes between We the People and Washington's War, besides the aforementioned new game mechanics, is the increased emphasis on the asymmetrical capabilities of the two sides. The British are a conventional army with a dominant naval capability that gives them great strengths in the coastal regions. The Americans are an unconvential force with a small Contintental Army led by George Washington who yearn for French intervention. While the British struggle to expand their influence inland, the Americans struggle to keep their militia forces in the field. In th end it is the side that is better able to play to their strengths and protect their vulnerabilities that prevails in Washington's War.
Washington's War was broadly tested on the Internet in a tournament format to ensure clarity of rules under the stresses of competition. What was old is new again...be the man on the white horse and father a new nation, or be a king trying to save his empire during a world war.

All Things Zombie Lock and Load Publishing 014130
Each counter represents one survivor or one zombie. You choose your star, your mini-me if you will, and arm him or her with one of four weapon types. But you're not alone as you then recruit a few other survivors to form your group.
Then it's off to explore a beautifully detailed map representing deserted cities, suburbs, and rural areas. But are they really deserted? Not if you count the zombies, the seemingly endless hordes of zombies. But soon you realize that the zombies may be the least of your worries as you run into other survivors. Are they friendly or hostile? Well, the game mechanics determine that. With luck you can recruit them to use in future games. But sometimes it spins out of control
Which leads us to combat. There's two ways to have combat in ATZ. Trust me on this; shooting is what you want to do. Yes, when facing one zombie it's easy to handle him in hand-to-hand combat but get them in bunches and that's when they are really dangerous. Better to shoot them from afar. Better All Things Zombie City Mapto shoot survivors too.
Where and when you explore determines how many zombies and survivors you'll meet. Stick to the rural areas in the daytime and your chances of running into zombies are slim. Prowl around at night in the cities and you may have more zombies than you can handle. Why go there then? Because that's where you can find the most stuff. Better weapons, medical supplies, even the cure to the virus. But hey, it's up to you.

The Tower of Mystery is highly competitive and very interactive without being highly strategic! Everyone's always involved in the game, even when it's not their turn to move their playing piece! The game is completely different every time you play!
Warning: If a board game needs to be all about strategy, setup, and "the win" in order for you to enjoy it, then you should probably avoid The Tower of Mystery because you may just become frustrated by a rapidly changing game that's frequently outside of your complete control. The Tower of Mystery tends to elicit a strong sense of dislike from some heavy-duty strategy and wargamers.
But if you enjoy a purely social game that's all about player interaction, fun, laughter, and "the journey", then chances are great that you'll love the Tower of Mystery! The Tower of Mystery has been described by many as a crazy combination of Chutes and Ladders "on steroids" and the card game Munchkin! Social gamers of all ages (adults, college students, teens) and Families enjoy the game!
The Tower of Mystery contains no occult elements, magic, spells, or evil characters.

A Conclave of Wyrms Z Man Games 014104
Powerful, majestic, brilliant, conniving, & greedy, they live in a highly structured society centered around age. There are five different draconic races, each of a different color: red, blue, yellow, green and purple; and one all powerful prismatic Queen, the mother of all races. Each of the draconic races is subdivided into three basic age groups: drakes being the youngest, dragons being middle age, and wyrms being the oldest of all. The older the beast, the more powerful and greedy it becomes. In fact, the oldest of each race, called a Great Wyrm, is so consumed by its greed that its lust for treasure becomes its greatest weakness. Of all dragon kind they alone are willing to risk all to potentially increase their hoard size. This often leads to their downfall.
The object in this trick-taking card game is to be the player with the most points (indicating draconic power) at the end of six hands (referred to as cycles). You receive points by accurately predicting the number of tricks (referred to as gatherings) you will take and also by taking special card combinations. You want to avoid taking cards with negative points values.

Wings of War: Balloon Busters Fantasy Flight Games 014092
Turn your eyes skyward during World War I, and you'll discover that planes weren't alone in the skies. Drachens, the enormous floating leviathans of the air, were used as observation platforms and even for barrages. In response, the Le Prieur rockets introduced in April 1916 were designed to bring them down!
The balloons were so difficult to destroy, even using Le Prieur rockets, that it required the pilot to head directly into the target while they fired. The electric switch had to be triggered very close to the Drachen, and if they happened to ignite the gases holding the balloon aloft, the plane could be caught in the blast.
These ace pilots came to be known as "Balloon Busters." Each Balloon Buster expansion set adds one spectacular Drachen model, and an additional plane model for use with Wings of War.
The Balloon Buster expansion sets are not a complete game. A copy of at least Famous Aces, Watch your Back!, Burning Drachens, or WWI Deluxe is required to play.

Exalted: Alchemicals White Wolf 014064
A Guide to the Great Maker's Champions
Designed by Autochthon before the Primordial War, the Alchemical templates inspired the Exalts fielded by the Incarnae against their creators. Yet, during that war, Autochthon heard the Great Curse directed by his slain Primordial brethren. As the First Age progressed, he watched as that Curse twisted the minds of the Exalted. Knowing it was only a matter of time before the Solars' growing paranoia was directed at him, the King of All Craftsman gathered thousands of worshipers inside himself and fled to Elsewhere. Within his very body, these mortals built a highly advanced civilization, and to preserve it, Autochthon finally built his prototype Champions. Ever since, the artificial Chosen of the Machine God have kept the Eight Nations safe. But as the long-dormant Autochthon's health deteriorates, the threats the Alchemicals face grow ever greater. Can these Exalted save their world-god, or has Autochthon's flight to Elsewhere only ensured his demise?
A character sourcebook for Exalted®, Second Edition, featuring:
    Everything players and Storytellers need to generate Alchemical Exalted characters, including their Charms
    Details of the Great Maker's servants: the gods, elementals and automata of Autochthonia

Major Periphery States Catalyst 014065
THE FRONTIERS OF KNOWN SPACE
The peoples of the Inner Sphere often consider themselves the epitome of technology and culture and relegate the denizens of the frontiers of known space to second-class citizenry, or worse.

Magistracy of Canopus, Taurian Concordat, Marian Hegemony, Outworlds Alliance and Circinus Federation. Each is a unique star-spanning empire whose hardy-people have carved out their freedom with bare hands: an identity they will not give up without a fight. Even the Great Houses have begun to learn that underestimating these Periphery States is dangerous indeed.
Handbook: Major Periphery States collates the essential history, politics and culture of the Major Periphery States into a single volume. More than a mere sourcebook, Handbook: Major Periphery States provides rules for both BattleTech and A Time of War: The BattleTech RPG game play, including new support vehicles, creatures and more!

ARKHAM NOW updates to modern times the famous and fabled city of Arkham for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.
Most residents believe there is only one horror lurking in this legendary haunted town the urban sprawl slowly eroding Arkham's old New England beauty. Rushing by neon signs and mega-marts to obtain even more material possessions, no one notices the more disturbing, underlying qualities of the city: the grotesque vegetation sprouting in some places, the sometimes-odd taste from the reservoir's drinking water, the disturbingly high rate of birth defects, the too-frequent child abductions.
Those who make inquires are scoffed at by citizens, and rebuffed by local and state officials. The truly brave continue to put the pieces together, posting their thoughts on the Internet. Many of these individuals disappear from cyberspace eventually often due to the effects some of these discoveries can have on one's mental health.
Though they would never admit it, many of the long time residents of Arkham know there is something not quite right about their town

War of the Roses Z-Man 014051
Designed by Peter Hawes
Journey back to England, 1450, just prior to the outbreak of the bitter civil war between the Royal Houses of Lancaster and York. Henry VI, a Lancastrian, was proving to be a weak ruler, so the wealthy and ambitious Richard, Duke of York, looked to put things right. The powerful noble families had to choose sides and over the next 40 years, kings, royal heirs, and great nobles were to die, in what was to become known as the Wars of the Roses. Players take on the role of Lancastrians and Yorkists, who must gather support from the major towns and powerful noble families and attempt to control the royal castles throughout the country. Ports, the shipping trade, and financial aid from the Church and France are also needed. As their faction grows in strength, players vie for the King's favor and look to earn the prestigious titles of Captain of Calais, Archbishop of Canterbury, Warden of the Cinque Ports, Lord High Admiral, and Constable of the Tower of London.
Money means power, because loyalty can be bought, so players should be prepared for the inevitable treachery as nobles change allegiance at crucial times, affecting the balance of power.
When Parliament is called, each region in England will support one or other of the two Royal Houses and the crown will go to the one with the greater power base. Nobles loyal to this House will be rewarded by a grateful King. Eventually, only one Royal House will boast the King, but the player who has gathered the most money and prestige will win, regardless of his allegiance.
A highly interactive game where the Lancastrians fight the Yorkists but since only one person can win, one must anticipate treachery from within their own ranks.
Contents: 1 Game board, 4 large player screens, 4 planning charts, 54 cards, 225 tokens, 153 wooden pieces, rules

SWAT! FRED 014032
Those pesky bugs just keep coming at you! Your job is to SWAT them right when they score the most points. But be quick or your fellow players will SWAT them first. Do you go for Sure Stings, or wait for Double-or-NoStings? Or maybe you try to get the most Swat-or-Nots or Zappers, since these can be worth even more points.
SWAT! is about capturing cards. A dealer turns over cards one-by-one, until someone decides he wants the exposed cards and hits the colorful "SWAT!" board. That player then becomes the dealer and the same process continues until all players have "swatted" three times or the deck runs out. Your challenge is to remember what you have already swatted and decide how far you can push your luck before another player swats the stack. The artwork is fun, imaginative and might get a little bit under your skin!

Dragon Age RPG Boxed Set Green Ronin 014035
A New Age of Fantasy Roleplaying
It has been hundreds of years since the last Blight ravaged the world of Thedas. Many believe that it can never happen again, that the Dragon Age will pass without the rise of such evil. They are wrong. Beneath the earth the darkspawn stir. A new archdemon has risen and with it a Blight that will scourge the lands and darken the skies. The nations of Thedas need a new generation of heroes, but who will answer the call?
Fantasy roleplaying goes back to its dark and gritty roots with the Dragon Age RPG, the latest game from the company that brought you A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying and Mutants & Masterminds. Based on the highly anticipated Dragon Age: Origins computer game, the Dragon Age RPG brings the excitement of BioWare's rich fantasy world to the tabletop. Make your own heroes and control your own destiny as a Blight comes to Thedas once again.
Designed by award-winning author Chris Pramas (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Freeport), Dragon Age features an all-new game system that's both easy to learn and exciting to play. The boxed set includes:
    * A 64-page Player's Guide with an introduction to tabletop roleplaying, background on Thedas and the nation of Ferelden, a complete guide to character creation, rules for character classes and talents, a primer on magic, and the basic game rules.

    * A beautiful poster map of the nation of Ferelden, the opening setting for the Dragon Age RPG.
    * 3 six-sided dice.
The Dragon Age RPG is the perfect portal to tabletop roleplaying. The core system is easy to use and most actions can be resolved with a roll of the dice. Dragon Age also features an innovative stunt system that keeps combat and spellcasting tense and exciting.
So gather your friends, grab some dice, and get ready to enter a world of heroes and villains, of knights and darkspawn, of gods and demons ... the world of Dragon Age!
Note: The Dragon Age RPG is being released in a series of four boxed sets, each of which covers five levels of play. Set 1 is for characters of level 1-5. Set 2 will cover levels 6-10, Set 3 will cover levels 11-15, and Set 4 will cover levels 16-20. Each set includes a Player's Guide and a Game Master's Guide, and other extras like dice and maps.

Convoy - Module Number 1: Deadly Waters Clash of Arms Games 014041
Convoy is an operational-tactical game of the Battle of the Atlantic in WW2. Combining large-scale map movement with a fast-play set of tactical rules, the game lets players follow a convoy from embarkation to destination in a single play session.
In the "map game", convoys move in eight-hour operational turns, rolling for engagements with U-boats, blockade runners, raiders, and even weather. A large-scale map and tables generate one or more events each turn. Some events are resolved immediately with a few die rolls. Others, such as attacjs by U-boats or raiders are resolved with the fast-play tactical rules.
The Battle of the Atlantic is broken down into several areas and periods, each covered in a seperate map/game module. Deadly Waters is the first such module, covering the Gibraltar Run from January 1941 through December 1942. Each module includes a CD-ROM with full-color damage cards for all the ships and subs needed for convoy battles in that period.
Convoy will be supported by other map games currently under development. These cover other parts of the Battle of the Atlantic as well as the desperate Murmansk/Soviet lifeline. Designed by Mal Wright, the game system incorporates Mal's thorough research of published sources including interviews with veterans from both sides of the conflict, and illustrates the operational realities of the Battle of the Atlantic.
Both the map game booklets and tactical rules emphasize simplicity and fast play. Accompanied by sidebars and historical background, they are an excellent introduction for a gamer new to naval warfare, or one who wants to deepen his understanding of this critical naval campaign.

The Day After Ragnarok - Hero System Edition Atomic Overmind 014020
Know, O Prince, that between the years when the Serpent fell and the oceans drank America and the gleaming cities, and the rise of the Sons of Space, there was an Age undreamed of, when nations guttered low and flared brilliant across the poisoned world like dying stars California and Texas each claiming the flag of the West, France torn asunder and facing the desert, harsh Mexico, slumbering Brazil, Argentina where the seeds of Thule lay waiting, ancient lands of Persia and Arabia and Iraq between two empires, the coldly clutching Soviet Union whispering behind its Wall of Serpent, Japan whose warriors wore steel and silk and khaki. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Australia, the last green and pleasant land, ringed around by its dominions and bulwarked by the sea.
Welcome to the world at the end of the world. The skies are shrouded with burning, oily smoke, the Earth groans under a poisoned corpse, and the only way out may be deeper into the belly of the beast. This is a world about a flavor and a feel as much as it is about extrapolation. That said, this world has something of an edge to it it's a world nearly killed by the death of wonder, although far from all the wonders are dead. Put the "grim" back in "grime" and see the world outside the smeared Perspex windscreen.

Campaign Manager 2008 Z-Man Games 014023
A modern U.S. presidential campaign is one of the most amazing organizational endeavors undertaken by man. In 2008, John McCain and Barack Obama collectively spent $2.4 billion dollars on their efforts to be elected President of the United States. That is more money than the federal government devoted to the Manhattan Project. It is a larger figure than the gross domestic product of 32 countries. You could purchase three 50-story skyscrapers for the same amount. So, when we talk about running a U.S. presidential campaign, we are really
referring to something akin to running a Fortune 500 company. The most remarkable thing is, a campaign manager must take this enterprise from literally nothing to these enormous heights in about a year's time. It's a grueling job, with enormous pressure and a lot to juggle. You have the candidate, the media, volunteers in every state, the campaign staff, the internet, attack ads, campaign consultants, pollsters, proxies and political problems of every conceivable stripe. And at the end of the day, what is your reward? If you win, you get the problems of governance. If you lose, you earn your party's scorn and the inevitable finger-pointing that follows.
...of course, that's just what your opponent intends to do to YOU.
In Campaign Manager 2008, we invite you to undertake this thankless task by assuming the role of the campaign manager for either Barack Obama or John McCain. Your candidate is relying on you to develop a campaign strategy and then go on to manage this enormous endeavor successfully. You will consider a variety of different tactics and strategies available to you, crafting a personal campaign plan by selecting a unique combination of techniques aimed squarely at pummeling your opponent...

Dragon Realm brings races into game, so you can possibly play a dwarf mercenary, or elven ranger. Nothing restricts you to play any combination, from troll wizard to halfling warrior, any combination is possible and again it depends only on your game style.
In the box, you also find new adventures for the basic board, new skills and several minor rule changes.

Chaos Z-Man Games 013992
"You must have Chaos within you to give birth to
a dancing star." - Friedrich Nietzsche
"In all Chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder
a secret order." - Carl Gustav Jung

Dungeon Lords Z-Man Games 013993
Designed by Vlaada Chvatil
They meet in a tavern. They quaff a few ales.
Before the night is over, the strong warrior, the
wily wizard, the committed priest and the sneaky
thief form an inseparable party of adventurers,
ready to rid the world of evil. And wouldn't you
know it? There just happens to be some evil
within easy walking distance. A dark lord has
filled a nearby hill with tunnels, traps,
treasure, and trolls. And so the next morning (or
the next afternoon if too many ales were quaffed)
the heroes set out to fight for Right, conquer
the dungeon, and punish the wicked lord (by
taking all his treasure, of course). It's a
classic scenario, and any veteran dungeon crawler
will tell you that's the way things ought to be.
But what about that dark lord? Does anyone ever
think about his feelings? Those adventurers, who
have never done an honest day's work in their
lives, can not begin to imagine how much effort
goes into building a respectable dungeon. They
have no idea how hard it is to tunnel through
granite, how expensive good traps are these days,
how difficult it is to find qualified imps, or
how much food it takes to feed a troll. And the
bureaucracy! Dungeons must meet rigid safety
specifi cations, gold mining is subject to strict
regulations, and taxes are due whenever the
Ministry of Dungeons feels like it. And as soon
as the dungeon is built, some band of do-gooders
comes along and hacks everything up. Life is not easy for a dungeon lord.
Contents: 1 Central board, 1 Distant Lands board,
1 Progress board, 4 Dungeon boards, 85+ cards,
~40 imp figures, lots of monster(or ghost), room,
adventurer, paladin, event, tunnel, item tiles,
48 wooden minion figures, lots of tokens and counters, and rules

The Republic of Rome Valley Games 013999
Robert Haines' and Richard Berthold's classic
game of political intrigue and diplomacy is back
in full form! Republic of Rome is a
distillation of 250 years of Roman history, from
about 265 B.C., all in one evening!

balancing act between personal advancement and
the welfare of the state. Players build the
empire from scratch and thus develop and change
the political environment in which they are competing.
Players' Senators vie for political power,
military commands and economic advantages against
the backdrop of a turbulent world. Deals and
counter-offers abound. Short the necessary votes
for Consul? Trade the Armaments Concession for a
faction's support. Spartacus has destroyed your
villa? Send Pompey off with ten legions to crush
him. But is that too much power to entrust to one
man? What if Pompey rebels and marches on Rome?
The game contains three scenarios which divide
the color-coded cards into decks simulating the
Early, Middle, and Late Republic. Those wishing a
larger game can combine them into a Campaign Game
of truly epic proportions. A solitaire and
two-player version are also included for those unable to muster more players.

Planet Steam Heidelberger Speileverlag 013966
Welcome dear Imperialists. It's the year 2415. The interplanetary federation (IPF) has done a great job in the last centuries. All necessary precautions have been taken to conquer this planet named "Steam" The core of the planet consists of a 6500 degrees Celsius hot source containing different resources, including water. It has taken over 100 years to complete the first block of 42 shafts from the surface to the core.
But now the time has come. From every shaft surges the hot steam that is the basis of the production of raw materials. To be able to use and process this steam, platforms have to be placed over the shafts. Later, we can use the platforms to connect the water purification tanks. By using several tank extractors we can harvest other resources like energy, ore and quartz from the steam. These resources are important. You will need them to grow your steam empires. You will need to increase the capacity of your landing craft to transport your harvested materials off planet. Buy and sell the resources at the Trading terminal for profit, as currency is -like on earth- always on short supply on Planet Steam.
To help you in your endeavours the IPF has placed several specialists at your command. But getting the specialist that you require may not be easy.
In the end the player who has, through tactics or trading, the most Credits will win the game.

The Conqueror Worm is An OSRIC module designed for 6-8 adventurers of levels 10-14.
Over five centuries ago, there came unto the arctic lands of the North from a far removed dimension an elder being of unfathomable menace. The White Worm, as it was called by the scholars, was a colossal creature with rubbery, corpse-white skin. The primitive humans the foul beast encountered were ill-equipped to deal with the manifold, eldritch magicks in its possession. However, before the dread worm could wholly enslave the Northern lands, the great frost giant jarl Harold Hardrada managed to deal it a near-fatal blow. And so, the White Worm entered into a deep recuperative sleep until such time as it felt strong enough to challenve the kingdoms of the North once again.
Unfortunately, the White Worm has just awakened from its centuries-long slumber, and it trying to build up its magical army once again. The PCs can pervent the completion of such by retrieving the magical weapon of the long-dead frost giant jarl and then putting the abominable White Worm to the sword in its ice-walled citadel.

Day & Night FRED 013950
Five billion years of doing the same work has caused the sisters to tire of their jobs; they want to retire. But how to decide who can stay in their beautiful palace? Day and Night stand on opposite sides of the valley of emptiness, a spine-chilling place with floating boulders, used ever since the Dawn of Time and Memory to battle for justice. The goal is to build two Temples and in doing so honor the gods and enforce justice. Naturally, neither party will let the other go about their business. They will have many opportunities to thwart the plans of the other. For in order to build a Temple, they will need to gain control of their surroundings.
The Goal
Build two temples to win the game. A temple consists of a pattern of nine tiles bordering on each other. All the tiles have to be of your own type (Day or Night). Whenever a player succeeds in creating such a pattern, he or she puts nine 'Temple-counters' on those tiles. These tiles cannot be turned over or changed for the rest of the game!
The Means
Tiles are created by playing Spells. Each turn you have "12 hours" to use for playing spells and for moving your pawn across the board. When you play a spell, you deduct the number of hours that is shown in the top left corner of that Spell from the total number of hours you have left. For every tile your pawn travels, you draw a new spell from your book of spells and deduct 3 hours from the total number of hours you have left.

When more than one player is on the same location, get ready, it is time for a duel! Roll the dice and see if you are the last one standing and lay claim to the goods!
During the game, you can take various actions that earn you victory points for your plots, pistols (the hired help) and buildings. At the end of the game, your buildings, houses, mountains and money contribute to your victory points and the person with the most points wins. So go round up your posse of gunslingers and get ready for some Wild West action in Carson City!

Luna Llena (Full Moon) is a semi-cooperative horror-survival game for 2-7 players. There are two sides: Werewolves and Humans.

Opera FRED 013953
In 1607 Monteverdi's Opera La Favola d'Orfeo had its worldwide premiere. Over the following centuries, Europe was taken over. In the board game Opera, the players bring Opera to the public. In Venice, Vienna, Berlin, London, Paris and Milan great Opera houses arise. Opera leads the players through the periods of Baroque, Classicism and Romanticism. The epic music of six famous composers Händel, Monteverdi, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner and Verdi will bring the public to their Opera houses.
Clever budgeting is essential to gain control and be the master of your own success. Each round the players determine their budget level to influence the order of play. The budget is also used to hire the different characters in the game.
The Architetto erects main buildings and wings. Hire the attentive Impresario to find great Operas of popular composers. But who can withstand the seduction of the Signora who offers you quick money for gaining the rights of your most valuable music pieces? The elegant Maestro brings the performance of an Opera to a higher level, doubling the income in a city. The acute Critico can make or break a composer. But in the end it is the experienced Esperto who rates the Operas at their true value. Ducats and capacity are important to grow your empire and your influence, but in the end wealth is just an instrument to attain higher ends. Victory points can be acquired in several ways.
In Opera the players must plan well. Introducing an Intermezzo from time to time might be helpful to seize the initiative on a decisive moment in the game. Opera takes place over 9 rounds of play, divided in 3 episodes. Each episode consists of three playing rounds and a counting round. The player with the highest number of victory points after the third and last counting round will be the victor.

Skyline 3000 Z-Man Games 013954
Designed by Alan R. Moon and Aaron Weissblum
Skyline City, year 3000. Another urban colony on another nameless moon. The galaxy always needs more living space for the traders, the miners, the pilots, the farmers and the soldiers that ply the overdeveloped planets and the space lanes connecting them. The infrastructure has been built and the atmosphere is just about ready to accept citizens and their families. Now the only
thing left to do is to build the city's skyscrapers!
As usual, the Government has farmed out the job to several competing developers. Their hovering Plants are already in low orbit, their armies of riveting and welding robots are ready to construct the luxury condominiums and office towers that will comprise Skyline City, and lower them into place. No time is to be wasted: construction begins on the buildings before their locations are even secured. It will be a mad scramble to build the tallest buildings and install them in the best locations with access to the finest amenities. In the year 3000, city-building is a different game!
Contents: 1 Game board, 66 cards, 130+ wooden pieces (for floors and roofs and scoring), 4 Plant mats, 20 billboard tiles, lots of other tiles, and rules

Munchkin Kill-o-Meter    Steve Jackson Games 013958
Munchkins love it when the cards start flying. The best combats are the ones where potions, monster enhancers, and other bonuses keep the effective levels bouncing up and down! But keeping count can cause your brain to explode (which is all messy). Now you'll never have to stop and recount again!
With the Munchkin Kill-O-Meter, whenever a card hits the table, you turn the dials to keep track of your new total. Fiendishly simple. You can use it with any flavor of Munchkin, including Munchkin Quest.
The Kill-O-Meter comes with two special bonus cards (one for Munchkin and one for Munchkin Quest) -- and since the dials can be read from either side, we put munchkins on one side and monsters on the other. (And would you believe that making it two-sided let us REDUCE the cost? Printers are funny!)

Nanuk Steve Jackson Games 013959
Winter is coming. All the hunters boasted of their prowess, but you boasted the loudest. Now you have to deliver . . .
In Nanuk, each player bids for how long he can stay on the trail and how much he will bring home. Each boast must be greater than the one before, until one hunter refuses to raise the bid, saying "You're doomed!" Then the hunt begins. Will the hunt leader make good on his boast, or will the doomers be right? Every player decides secretly to help . . . or to let it fail.
Beware Nanuk, the great polar bear, who can end any hunt in failure. If you find an inuksuk, it will protect you -- once. If the hunt is successful, the hunters share the animals collected. But if the hunt fails, the doomers score instead.
Nanuk is a fast-playing, highly social game of bidding and bluffing for 5 to 8 players.

Castles & Crusades: Leech Wyrms Troll Lord Games 013962
The second book in the Dragons of Aihrde series, Leech Wyrms brings a whole new wave of monstrous nightmares to the gaming table. Leech wyrms are foul dragons whose habits are more reminiscent of the undead, than the fire breathing habits of the greater dragons of legend and lore. With vampiric lust they haunt quiet dungeons and forgotten pathways, waiting for a warm, ichorous meal to come within their grasp. Whether through hollow fangs or barbed tongues they drain the blood of their victims. From the brutally violent Maegle Wyrm that grinds its prey to pulp or the far gentler Iris Dragon that paralyzes and feeds upon its victim for days, these dragons are creatures from our uncertain nightmares.
Each dragon entry is accompanied by a short one piece adventure for a total of 8 short adventures.
Meet the Wierling, a new racial class for play or NPC. The weirlings, or Dragon Riders, are the last of the Aathuk that carry the desires of their ancestors. These are the curious few who take to the skies and travel the world or beyond. They are rare, but bold and brave adventurers. Wealth and power do not generally motivate the weirling; rather they yearn to be free, and to follow the paths laid down, but abandoned by their ancestors. Anything that removes them from the opulent silk laden beds and perfumed dormitories of their people draws their attention. The weirling longs to drink from the cup of life, and to suffer its indignities as well as its triumphs.
Also revealed are the peculiar origins of kobolds and their binding with the Talmut dragons. Meet the dragons and the Bone Guard that ride them. Expand your campaign to the heavens and bring kobolds to the table like never before!
Inside the covers of Leech Wyrms are 8 new dragons, more dragon specific magic items, campaign information and more. Also included within is the new racial class, the Wierling: the Dragons Riders; and the Peculiar Tale of the Kobold.
Dragons of Aihrde: Leech Wyrms is not campaign specific, but integrates easily with any ongoing home brew campaign. Each entry comes complete with a separate heading for "The Creature in Aihrde" that can be used or discarded as needed.

Mysteries of MesoAmerica Pagan Publishing 013940
Inside you will find everything you need to immerse your players in the world of Mesoamerican archeology during the classic Call of Cthulhu period. The first 84 pages are sourcebook material, beginning with Clint Staples material describing the cultures that dominated the New World before the arrival of Columbus, with particular attention to the details of the religious themes that dominated the region: blood, sacrifice, death. There is also information on the modern states of the region including revolutionary Mexico and Banana Republics like Honduras, and the histories of the most important figures in the study of these ancient peoples. Brian Appleton has written articles on the ancient weapons of the Mesoamericans, as well as cataloging the deities and monsters of local mythology. Besides his exquisitely bloodcurdling illustrations, Blair Reynolds has also contributed an article on Maya calendrics, which should be of interest to everyone as the winter solstice of 2012 continues to approach.
Covering another 120 pages, the four independent scenarios do not form a cohesive campaign, but as all of the scenarios require the same skill set (experts in Mesoamerican archeology) from player characters, a Keeper could easily run all four of the scenarios in sequence.

To succeed in the enterprise, they must manage the money and actions at their disposal in order to hire captains, recruit crew, build Ships, launch them and send them to the Landings of Natal, Terra de Boa Gente, Mozambique, Malindi, Mombasa and Calicut. For each Ship sent, Players will receive an immediate reward and will gain prestige (Victory Points). The further the Ship is sent, the lower the compensation, but the higher the victory score that the Player will earn. Ships at Landings that are "complete" at the end of the Round (i.e. reached by a certain number of Ships) will earn further Victory Points for their owners and will then advance, under certain conditions, to the next Landing. This creates the opportunity to earn again Victory Points in the following Rounds.
