The result of an ancient attempt to save Earth from a plague of demons resides in the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology repository.  The attempt failed.  Demons walk the streets wearing the faces of humans, feeding on the life essences, and sometimes the flesh, of their unknowing prey. 

Aleksi, a young paleontology graduate student seeking only solitude and study, finds the long-forgotten specimen, and the ancient experiment begins anew.  Dreams of dragons plague her sleep, and greedy eyes watch her discovery, lusting for the power she has unwittingly awoken.  Can she contain the dragon within her, or will she succumb to the irrepressible temptation to feed?

FBI profiler Maria Ruiz is done. Over a long career called in to consult on bizarre murders, she has chased the worst of humanity, scoured the depths of evil, and seen the limits of mortal justice. Once she finishes her last cases, she plans to leave the whole mess behind her.

When she connects two wide-ranging assignments, however, she knows something strange is happening. She becomes convinced that she’s following a mysterious assassin who stalks a series of high-profile targets: accused rapists and serial abusers, killers and corrupt politicians, all men who seemingly escaped justice. And as the bodies pile up, Ruiz comes closer and closer to catching the killer: an angel of death not from this world.

$29.95 SRP
SDI

You took your PAD into the street. You bought a sandwich from the local deli. You called your friend. You deleted the record of your call. Then you drove downtown and stole a Qianju PT. You rode it to our branch office and gained entry using the badge you stole from our sysop. That's when you jacked into our internal network. It was all very well done. The only question is: did you really think we wouldn't notice?

Control your data. Control your destiny. Data and Destiny is the fourth deluxe expansion for Android: Netrunner. Its 165 new cards (three copies each of fifty-five different cards) focus on media giant NBN and three groundbreaking Runners. As NBN launches the initiatives of three new divisions, you'll find a wealth of new media-focused assets, advertisements, and tag-based strategies.

Call of Cthulhu LCG: The Mark of Madness Deluxe Expansion
$29.95 SRP
SDI

“There is a whole secret cult of evil men (a man of your mystical erudition will understand me when I link them with Hastur and the Yellow Sign)…”
    –H.P. Lovecraft, The Whisperer in Darkness

Within the manicured gardens of Marseille, France's elite struggle to hide a dark secret. Artists hang disturbing, apocryphal images in Parisian salons. There are whispers of a composer whose music will forever alter your perception. The asylums are full of lunatics who gaze at the moon with an inhuman longing. In The Mark of Madness, Hastur and his followers walk the streets of Paris, and where Hastur walks, minds unmoor. All the world descends toward madness.

The Mark of Madness is the tenth deluxe expansion for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game, with roughly two-thirds of its 165 new cards (three copies each of 55 different cards) dedicated to the Hastur faction. As Hastur’s secret cult expands its powers, you’ll find a maddening array of new characters, support cards, conspiracies, and events that lend new strength to the game’s Terror struggles and its mechanics for insanity. The game’s other factions are touched by madness, too, as they each gain powerful new characters that enter play insane and reshape the game when restored.

Lord of the Rings LCG: The Battle of Carn Dûm Adventure Pack
$14.95 SRP
SDI

“Chief among their foes was the dread realm of Angmar and its sorcerer king.”
     –J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Over the course of the Angmar Awakened cycle, the heroes of Middle-earth have become aware of an evil that threatens the North. Now, the time has come to strike. After seeking counsel at The Last Homely House, the heroes march north through the chill midwinter air to stop a dark ritual that would echo and strengthen the evils that first spilled out of Angmar centuries past. But will they arrive too late? Are they doomed to fail? An army of Orcs has already massed at the foot of Angmar, and sorcerous shadows darken the sky…

With its sixty new cards, The Battle of Carn Dûm introduces a challenging, combat-intensive scenario that takes your heroes into the heart of Angmar where you'll need to fight your way through hordes of Orcs and other creatures in order to prevent an ancient evil from returning to the world. However, if the walls of Carn Dûm and the raw might of the assembled Orcs and Werewolves aren't enough to slow you, you'll still need to deal with the dread Captain that leads them and the foul and shadowed Sorcery that fills the air.

New to ACD Distribution! Lords of War from Black Box Games!

New to ACD Distribution: Black Box Games!


Coming Soon!
Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt_I_FC46Gs for a review of Lords of War!





BBXOVD
Lords of War: Orcs vs. Dwarves
$19.99 SRP

Lords of War: Orcs versus Dwarves is the original award-winning Lords of War pack. As with all Lords of War core decks, the game is playable out of the box and contains two complete armies - the Orcs and the Dwarves.

These factions are differentiated by their exclusive cards and strategies; the Dwarf faction plays more defensively, using some Ranged cards and powerful Berserker units to pick-off assailants, while the Orc army encourages players to attack more vigorously, often committing kamikaze moves to their tactical advantage.

Lords of War: Orcs versus Dwarves is cross-compatible with Elves versus Lizardmen and Templars versus Undead, meaning that all the Lords of War armies can be used to battle one another.

The armies can also be blended together, using a strict Ranking System, to create Mercenary decks for tournament play.






BBXEVL
Lords of War: Elves vs. Lizardmen
$19.99 SRP

Like its predecessor Lords of War: Orcs versus Dwarves, Lords of War: Elves versus Lizardmen is a dual-deck strategic card game for two-plus players. It won the UK Games Expo Award for Best Strategic Card Game in 2013, the year of its release.

The game is cross-compatible with Orcs versus Dwarves and Templars versus Undead, meaning that all the Lords of War armies can be used to battle one another. The armies can also be blended together, using a strict Ranking System, to create Mercenary decks for tournament play.

The factions in this deck are the Elves, which feature strong cavalry units and archers but a relatively weak infantry, and the Lizardmen, who are the most flexible Lords of War army and are best used to disrupt and counter enemy attack strategies.

These armies also features new and deadly type of Berserker Units, the Elven Puresoul and Cruor Sacrifice, both of which are capable of achieving Chain Eliminations in diagonal formations across the board.








BBXTVU
Lords of War: Templars vs. Undead
$19.99 SRP

The third in the Lords of War: Fantasy Battles series. It is currently a nominee for the UK Games Expo Award for Best Expansion Pack.

Like its award-winning predecessors, Templars versus Undead is a dual-deck strategic card game for two-plus players which sees fantasy races engaging in dynamic tactical card battles.

The Templar faction is based around a heavily armored infantry and mobile palisades. The Undead meanwhile contain a stark range of defensive and offensive units, including zombies which roam across the battlefield.

Templars versus Undead is compatible with both Elves versus Lizardmen and Orcs versus Dwarves, meaning that all the Lords of War armies can be used to battle one another. The armies can also be blended together, using a strict ranking system, to create Mercenary Decks for tournament play.

BBXTAW
Lords of War: Terrain and Weather Pack
$11.99 SRP

The Weather and Terrain Expansion Pack is compatible with all Lords of War armies and enhances Lords of War play with two new modes: Weather, which sees players putting their tactics to the test against the elements, and Terrain, which enables players to build their own battlefields.
