Nanty Narking—New from Phalanx!

Order by Date: August 16, 2019 Release Date: October 2019 PHGA045 Nanty Narking $99.95 SRP $52.47 NPI Nanty Narking is a Victorian board game of wit and podsnappery that reintroduces the well-known bestseller of Martin Wallace. Immersed deeply in the world of Dickens's and Doyle's literature, the card events in the game are now tied to real and fictional characters and places in London. More specifically, following a scrupulous analysis of inspirations that were found and identified in historical English literature, all game locations, events, and characters have received new identities corresponding to the ones found in the previous edition of the game. This way the game retains its attractiveness to the established audience, but expands its reach to a wide range of people generally interested in history and literature of the Victorian period. The action takes place on the map of London, with players placing their followers and buildings on the board through card play. Each of the 132 cards is unique, and "the cards bring the game to life as they include most of the famous characters that have appeared in the various books. The rules are relatively simple: Play a card and do what it says. Most cards have more than one action on them, and you can choose to do some or all of these actions. Some cards also allow you to play a second card, so you can chain actions" (Martin Wallace). At the beginning of the game, each player draws a secret personality with specific victory conditions, which means that you can never be sure what the other players need to do in order to win. You need to fulfill your goal while also trying to prevent others from winning! Simple game rules and deep, immersive gameplay are the backbone of this title’s success. 2-4 players Ages 14+ 60 minute play time

PHGA020 Germania Magna

$24.95 SRP Germania Magna: Border in Flames is a game of shifting alliances for 2 to 4 players, in which you take the role of a Germanic warlord leading his warriors into Roman provinces, across the Rhine and Danube rivers. The Roman Empire is still too strong to be conquered, but its fields and cities provide a very attractive target for raiding. While your warriors will find Loot, you, their leader, will be presented with an excellent opportunity to prove yourself a worthy commander and achieve eternal Glory. The enemy is still very powerful, so in order to win you would need to forge alliances (however fragile) with other warlords. Some of you may decide, however, to switch sides each time the tides of war change. In Germania Magna, the competition between players is as important as their cooperation. The game mechanics reflect the problem of forces fragmented in a fight with a bigger and more powerful enemy. The game includes dozens of beautiful illustrations portraying Germanic chieftains, warriors, their fighting styles, as well as Roman provinces and their army formations. All the artwork in the game is by talented artists who are enthusiasts of antiquity. Germania Magna offers a rich historical theme and allows players to experience a surprisingly deep war game for the pocket size box it fits in. Enjoy this quick and intense game on a trip, in a pub or between longer games.
