FFGADN17
Android: Netrunner: The Spaces Between
$14.95 SRP
SDI

The Spaces Between is the second Data Pack in the Lunar Cycle for Android: Netrunner, and its sixty cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) continue to reestablish the game’s cyberstruggles amid the moon’s reduced gravity, recycled air, and corporate-sponsored colonies.

Meanwhile, it creates an entirely new game within the game as every faction gains a new current, an event or operation that isn’t immediately resolved and discarded after it’s played, but continues to reside in the data streams somewhere between a state of transience and a state of permanence.

In the game, players take on the roles of daimyos in feudal Japan, laying siege to castles in an attempt to vanquish their rivals and unite the nation’s clans. Conquering a castle doesn’t make it secure, however, since other players can launch their own sieges against it.

To be victorious, a player must act swiftly to seize key castles, unite the clans, and rally Japan to his cause.

New from Game Salute! VivaJava: The Dice Game, Belle of the Ball, OTONTIN: Warriors of the Lost Empire and A Duel Betwixt Us!

Coming in June!
GSDHMVIVA02
VivaJava: The Dice Game
$30.00 SRP
NPI

Just like in the original VivaJava board game, in VivaJava Dice, players take on the roles of employees at the VivaJava CoffeeCo., scouring the globe for the best beans to keep the company on top while trying to keep themselves one step ahead of the rest of the executives.

VivaJava Dice puts a quick, new twist on the crucial decision of the game: the choice between blending beans or research. Players may now use the dice in their pool to blend - using the beans to create a best-seller for quick points, then deciding whether to press their luck in subsequent rounds for bigger points but fewer dice as the blends degrade. Or they can choose to research, which involves using their valuable beans to gain an ever-changing variety of dice-manipulating abilities, new ways to score, and paths that lead to aiding a competitor for a later payoff or hindering that competitor for immediate gratification. VivaJava Dice also offers a unique system of cooperative dice-rolling that can help you rise to the top, but at the price of someone else riding your coattails.

With an astounding mix of plug-and-play research abilities, subtle social play in semi-cooperative mode, and the chance to hog all the glory and blend the best for yourself, VivaJava Dice is all about choice, making each game fast and furiously different.

1-4 players
Ages 13+

GSDHMBELL01
Belle of the Ball
$20.00 SRP
NPI

It is the eve of Carnivale on the magical Victorian isle of Ludobel, and you are all invited to the fantastical festivities!

In the card game Belle of the Ball, players take on the roles of party hosts, seeking the best mix of guests to make their gala the greatest by the end of the night. In order to ensure that they stay one step ahead of the other hosts, players will have to carefully watch the growing line of guests at the door, inviting those in that seem to share passions with partygoers already inside, all the while handing out their precious stash of Regrets to those who should seek refuge elsewhere. Of course, other hosts may find it advantageous to invite a rejected guest inside just to collect their accumulated Regrets for later use.

Hosts may also choose to ignore the competition for guests and instead try to earn the favor of the Belle of the Ball herself, whose charms can make or break any party.


2-4 players
Ages 8+
30 minute play time

Contains:
60 Guest cards
27 Belle cards
3 Double-sided score cards

OTONTIN: Warriors of the Lost Empire
$35.00 SRP
NPI

In OTONTIN, players are ferocious Aztec Warriors forming and destroying alliances as they rise to power within the Empire.

Each turn is played in three phases: Campaign, Strategy and War. During the Campaign phase, players roll dice to determine their wealth and military strength. They then negotiate with other players during the Strategy phase, secretly joining alliances or giving Attack or Defense orders via Tactic Cards that are played faced down.

During the War phase, Tactic Cards are revealed and battles commence! The game ends when a player’s stronghold is worth 20 cocoa beans.

OTONTIN is a volatile card game for 3-8 players, ages 10 and up.
GSBETWIXT01
A Duel Betwixt Us
$45.00 SRP
NPI

A Duel Betwixt Us is a two-player card game designed to test your manly worth through the ancient and sacred art of violence. Your heroic feats will earn you the love of fair maidens, and sturdy men will join your ranks in admiration of your combative prowess.

You will send this fanclub to work in the mines, where they will toil tirelessly in your name. The fine ingots they pull from the earth will provide you with an economic and military edge in the series of spectacular duels which will unfold betwixt you and your nemesis.

Who will be the finer specimen of Man? Will you gain the Gentlemanly Satisfaction you demand? Only time will tell...

Each player begins with 5 miners. Each turn, assign one idle miner to either the copper, silver, or gold mines. One miner can dig out a single copper, whereas two are required to mine a silver and three for a gold. Spend resources on strategic events or nefarious tricks, or use them to craft weapons and armor. At the end of each turn, you may declare DUEL on your foe to attempt to win either the fair maiden’s favour or the adoration of more fans (who you will inevitably send to work in the mines).

Machi Koro
$29.99 SRP
NPI

Welcome to the city of Machi Koro, the Japanese card game that is sweeping the world!

You’ve just been elected Mayor. Congrats! Unfortunately the citizens have some pretty big demands: jobs, a theme park, a couple of cheese factories and maybe even a radio tower. A tough proposition since the city currently consists of a wheat field, a bakery and a single die. Armed only with your trusty die and a dream, you must grow Machi Koro into the largest city in the region. You will need to collect income from developments, build public works, and steal from your neighbor’s coffers. Just make sure they aren’t doing the same to you!

Machi Koro is a fast-paced light-hearted game for you and up to 3 friends. Once you’ve had a taste of Machi Koro, this infectiously fun game may have you wondering if the dinner table ever served another purpose. They say you can’t build Rome in a day, but Machi Koro will be built in less than 30 minutes! 
IDW00660
Tammany Hall
$59.99 SRP
NPI

If you want to rule New York, you are going to need to play the city’s growing immigrant populations against one another. Help the immigrant groups who owe you political favors, call in those favors to slander your rivals, and win elections.

In Tammany Hall, players help immigrants settle in New York, collect political favors from those immigrant groups, send ward bosses into Manhattan to secure votes, and slander political opponents. An election is held at the end of every fourth year, and the player who uses his power base best will be elected mayor. The Mayor's grip on the city is tenuous at best. After every election, the Mayor must pay off his political rivals by placing them in offices that they can wield to try to take control of the city. Every player is your friend; every player is your enemy.

Tammany Hall was the political machine that dominated New York City politics by organizing the immigrant populations. While the organization's influence spanned from its founding in the 1790s to its collapse in the 1960s, this game is set in lower Manhattan roughly between 1850 and 1870 - the era of Boss Tweed.
