New November releases from Mr. B Games!

Release Date: November 2019

MIB-SMG32A
Pax Porifriana Collector's Edition

$60.00 SRP

Pax Porfiriana – Latin for "The Porfirian Peace" – refers to the 33-year reign of dictator Porfirio Díaz, who ruled Mexico with an iron hand until toppled by the 1910 Revolution.

As a rich businessman (Hacendado) in the turbulent pre-revolutionary borderlands of the U.S. and Mexico, players compete to build business empires of ranches, mines, rails, troops, and banks while subverting opponents with bandidos, Indians, and lawsuits. Each turn goes as follows:

1. Action Phase: Perform three actions, such as play new cards, get new cards from the market, speculate on cards in the market, buy land, or redeploy troops.
2. Discard Headlines: Remove any Headlines (i.e. cards with the Bull-Bear icon) that have reached the leftmost position in the Market.
3. Restore Market: Restore the Market to twelve cards.
4. Income Phase: Collect one gold per Income, Extortion, and Connection Cube in play. If Depression, pay one gold for each card in play (includes Partners and Enterprises in your Row, and all of your Troops).

Four "scoring" cards (Toppling) are in the game and their effect depends on the current form of government. The government can change if troops are played and as a result of other cards. The form of government also influences different production values of the game, such as how much mines produce. Players win by toppling Díaz, either by coup, succession, revolution, or annexation of Mexico by the U.S. If Díaz remains firmly seated at the end of the game, then the player with the most gold wins.

Pax Porfiriana includes 220 cards, but only fifty cards (along with ten for each player) are used in a game, so no two games will be the same!

RIO570
Power Grid: Middle East/South Africa

$14.95 SRP

Power Grid: Middle East/South Africa is a pair of expansion maps for Power Grid!

For decades, there has been an abundance of oil in the Middle East. However, in the near future the so-called "peak oil" threatens this area: This is the point in time when the output of the oil wells begins to decrease. Already, a few countries of this region have nuclear power plants, and that number will increase in the future as the amount of oil from the wells diminishes. Most likely, other energy sources will play a part, too, such as the recycling of plastic waste.

The players start the game with an excessive supply of oil. Additionally, the players have access to plenty of natural gas (using the coal tokens of the base game) and a few solar plants (the green power plants). However, at the start of the game the players cannot buy nuclear or garbage power plants.

During Step 2, the abundance of oil and natural gas will run dry. Both nuclear and garbage power plants will then be available as alternatives. Thus, in the middle of the game the players are forced to adjust their power plant mix.

The energy supply in South Africa is executed almost exclusively by a single trust, which is the seventh biggest energy supplier in the world measured against the production of energy. Roughly 90% of the energy is produced in coal power plants. Additionally, South Africa uses a few nuclear power plants and both water and wind ecological power plants.

Because of its size, the trust also supplies half of the rest of Africa with energy. Thus, the game board contains six international power connections and a lot of available coal.

Musical Chairs

$29.95 SRP

Musical Chairs is a whimsical card game that sends the players back to their youth. Timing is everything with card play simulating the crescendo of the music. Moving around the game board, players battle for the best chair cushions in order to plump up their scoring. The remaining cards in the players' hands can make spots even more lucrative. If multiple players end the round on the same spot, they battle "cheek-to-cheek" to see who gets the chair and who ends up on their derriere!

Neanderthal

$45.00 SRP

The biggest mystery in anthropology is what ignited the cultural revolution 45,000 years ago in Europe, when its upper half was covered with an ice-sheet. The Archaics, Neanderthals, and recently-arrived Cro-Magnons suddenly exploded in a flurry of cave paintings, body adornments, carved venus figures, intentional burials, and new portable tools.

This revolution spread from one human species to another, each of whom had enjoyed large brains tor a hundred thousand years without any prior cultural activity.

Pax Transhumanity

$45.00 SRP

What if Hollywood and the doomsters are wrong and the future is non-dystopian?

A more likely future is one in which free-market fortuneers explore the fringes of the achievable, in which scientists and technocrats rewrite the human condition by expanding into new spheres. Technology will become more of a intimate part of who we are, or acquire a mind of its own, incorporated into our transhuman state.
