The Amberden Affair

Players serve as domestic servants for a grand soiree held in the esteemed Amberden Manor. While busily carrying out orders for three distinguished dignitaries, observant footmen will realize that one of their own has malicious objectives that threaten the very lives of the ones they are there to serve. 

Players try to earn points completing as many orders as possible by taking item cards from locations in the room and bringing them to their proper recipients. They must also attempt to identify the Miscreant Impostor, the player who is secretly trying to poison certain targets while accomplishing regular orders. The player with the most points at the end of three rounds wins!

New from Indie Boards and Cards! Coup: Reformation Expansion and Dragon Slayer!

Coming in October!
IBCCOR1
Coup: Reformation Expansion
$11.99 SRP

Coup: Reformation, an expansion for the original version of Coup: City State from La Mame Games, adds new cards to the game and rules for factions and team play that increases tension in the early stages for four or more players and (thanks to 15 additional character cards) allows Coup to be better played with up to ten players.

With Coup: Reformation, each player must declare himself either Protestant or Catholic and can target only members of the other faith. Conversion is possible, however, for yourself or for another player by paying a charitable donation to the Almshouse. Like all factions, once you have eliminated the other sect, you just descend into in-fighting, so there's still only one winner and no second place.

Coup: Reformation adds a new fluid team dynamic to Coup as players jostle with their allegiance to take advantage or seek protection in the early stages of the game.

Requires base card game to play (IBCCOU1).

IBCDRS1
Dragon Slayer
$12.99 SRP

You are the world's most fearless dragon slayers, competing to be crowned the master slayer. Your brave warrior must search far and wide for these ferocious beasts, defend yourself against its attacks and be ever ready to strike them down. Even in victory your companions may challenge your courage, demanding that you prove your valor with foolhardy audacity or cower in their mocking taunts.

Game designer David Mortimer really made this game shine, creating a new PYL game is a deceptively difficult challenge, and he did this one right. Like all great PYL games, the rules are simple, format of repeating the Dragon Hunt until you decide to stop. The very interesting twist is the player challenges. The ability to challenge, and rewards for passing or failing when challenged, add a dimension to everything that you do on your turn. What order do you go after dragons? When do you stop? When do you challenge? Who do you challenge? How do you get others not to challenge you?

New from Floodgate Games! Epic Resort!

Epic Resort
$44.95 SRP

After a long run of dungeon delving and monster slaying, the heroes need a vacation -- you have set out to build an Epic Resort worthy of their presence. You’ll leverage your workers’ talents and attractions’ abilities to draw in hapless tourists and fantasy heroes who are ready to spend some gold and get much needed rest. However, the more you lure in the more likely pirates, two-headed giants and other relentless monsters will attack!

Heroes may defend your attractions (losing precious health), or dodge out of the way...letting the monsters devour a bevy of unsuspecting tourists. By earning points from attractions and heroes, cleverly managing your workers, and finding just the right time to throw your lazy peons into the jaws of a hungry dragon, you will be victorious by building the most Epic Resort!

New Star Wars products from Fantasy Flight Games!

Coming September!
FFGSW01
Star Wars LCG: Empire vs. Rebellion
$12.95 SRP
SDI

“Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe!”
   –Admiral Motti, Star Wars: A New Hope

A massive civil war shakes the galaxy. On one side of this struggle, the men and women of the Rebel Alliance plan for the day when the Empire will be overthrown. The Rebels are unafraid to use their military might, but clever diplomacy and reconnaissance may accomplish what displays of strength cannot. Opposing the Rebellion is the unlimited power of the Galactic Empire, under the command of Emperor Palpatine. Whether conducting reconnaissance and searching for Rebel spies or crushing insurgents beneath the heel of the Imperial Navy, all the galaxy knows to fear Darth Vader and the Empire.

Star Wars: Empire vs. Rebellion puts in you in command of the Empire’s unlimited reserves or the heroes of the Rebellion and challenges you to tip the outcome of key events in your favor. Every round, you must extend your might and commit your resources towards taking control of the Galactic Civil War, whether you use military power or diplomatic aplomb to achieve your goals. If you can outwit your opponent’s schemes and claim victory in crucial events, you can shape the future of the entire galaxy!

FFGSWC22
Star Wars LCG: Between the Shadows Deluxe
$29.95 SRP
SDI

“Mos Eisley spaceport: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”
   –Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars, A New Hope

Some of those you will find in the shadows stay there to escape persecution and execution. The Jedi were supposedly exterminated when the Empire was created, but their fire has not yet been extinguished from the galaxy. In the desert wastelands of Tatooine, or in the swamps and bogs of Dagobah, the remaining Jedi bide their time, devoting themselves to the study of the Force. Although they work in secrecy, the Force is strong with them, and soon, the Jedi will emerge to once more play a hand in the fate of the galaxy.

Others who make the shadows their home have far less savory occupations. For the Scum and Villainy of the galaxy, back-alley deals, covert operations, and stealthy assassinations are a way of life. You may not see them on the well-lit streets, but a multitude of bounty hunters, mercenaries, brawlers, and collectors wait for the unwary in the shadows. They may work for honor, for credits, or for the massive criminal organization known as Black Sun, but whenever these professionals work, the wise know enough to stay out of their way.

In this deluxe expansion, you’ll find twenty-six new objective sets, giving you two copies each of twelve distinct sets and one copy apiece of two “Limit 1 per objective deck” sets. Although the expansion is focused on the Jedi and Scum and Villainy affiliations, every affiliation will find cards to use in this expansion. Two brand-new fate cards bring new tension to every edge battle, while new versions of iconic characters like Luke Skywalker join the fight alongside new heroes and villains, such as Prince Xizor and Talon Karrde.

Conquest of Speros

Speros. A rich and beautiful land, embroiled in a 20 year war: a dispute for territory and control of its valuable resources. Four competing races work to exercise their dominance over the landscape and to control the export of iron, crystal, and gold reserves to different parts of the kingdom. Can you conquer the landscape in order to defeat your enemies?

Conquest of Speros is a quick-playing game of area control and resource domination. You play as one of four competing races working to establish their dominance over the landscape and control of the powerful Ancient Artifacts buried long ago. Your mission: secure the land and destroy anything that gets in your way.

Till Dawn
$29.99 SRP

Till Dawn takes place over the course of three nights during which time all self-respecting vampires leave their coffins to hunt. A deck of hunt cards is passed from vampire to vampire, each taking one card, reading it aloud, then passing the rest on. If a feeding card is drawn, all vampires gain blood tokens but the deck is also loaded with events, vampire slayers, a vicious werewolf, invitations from the elders, and the creeping threat of sunrise. Feeling lucky?

At any time during a hunt, a vampire may return to his coffin to protect his precious blood tokens. Return to your coffin too early, though, and you may miss all the fun. Then again, centuries of hunting should have taught you the folly of pushing your luck too far...

Draco Magi
$24.99 SRP

Myrgos, the powerful and benevolent Dragon King has passed into the next world after an extended illness, and the land is now gripped with uncertainty. As the laws of succession dictate, only one of his remaining apprentices can rise to the position of “Draco Magi”.

With the death of the Draco Magi, the wizard-lock on the succession strongbox of each apprentice has completely dissipated. Inside each box, an apprentice will find a succession scroll. Contained on the scroll is the last piece of knowledge required to become the Drago Magi but only one can claim the title. Each scroll holds a different “Spell of Succession” that may be executed only with the correct combination of rare gems. These magically imbued gems appear in sets of three only during times of succession and must be collected by dragons at the command of each apprentice. The competitor who is first to collect the gems needed to complete his Spell of Succession becomes the new Drago Magi. For the loser, the unofficial title whispered under the breath of the people is “Novitius Eterna” or “Forever a Novice”.

Be swift and remember, there is little room for error.

To start, each player selects an apprentice dragon mage he wishes to play. Each mage receives a deck of dragon cards that includes multiple copies of four different chromatic dragons (Green, Red, Black & Purple), four different metallic dragons (Gold, Silver, Brass & Bronze), and two special dragon cards (the Battle dragon and the Polar dragon). Each dragon has a different strength, weakness and special ability.

Players will send their dragons, one at a time, to capture gems on different battlefields; each battlefield offers a different effect that may give an advantage or disadvantage to certain types of dragons. Players alternate playing dragon cards on battlefields until they have played all eight of their Dragon cards. Playing a dragon consists of a ranged and melee round as well! Players will also earn advance battle cards that build up their decks over the course of the game.

The player with the most dragons present on a battlefield wins that gem. In the case of a tie, the dragons and gem remain for the next round.
