    Freshly added on BGG: July 12 2021

    in News and Rumours

    It really never ends!


    (I'll add pictures eventually as they pop up on BGG.)




    Let's start with a little PnP, Blorg in the Wild West, the sequel of a game JW seemed to have enjoyed at the time.


    Second, a game you can play with two regular decks of cards, Dungeon Solitaire: Death to the Goblin King (because, as one can guess, he really deserves it), from prolific designer Joseph Propati that you might recognize from Dungeon Flee.




    Next, Noah Planet, a re-implementation of Ktizo, a game I was interested in but couldn't find anywhere, now with solo rules! The game seems to have been picked up by a more experienced publisher, Board Game Rookie (better known for their localizations of US games to the Chinese market).





    We also have big titles such as an expansion for the latest Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth FFG app-driven game, Spreading War.




    In the Kickstarter category, let's mention Pocket Landship: No Man's Land, sequel and expansion to Pocket Landship, the game you can actually play as JW. The info is not new, but now it's on BGG so, we're getting closer!


    Last, we'll deal with two Game Crafters. First, a game that has been out there for a few years on the Game Crafter, but only now got a BGG entry so I'll mention it anyway: Colossus Fall.






    (Pictures from the Game Crafter website.)


    And second, a game that should get released to the Game Crafter eventually but isn't quite there yet, Dark Overlord Reigns, a semi-abstract wargame in which you control three heroic leaders in their dire fight against the rising Overlord.

    So when you shuffle expansion cards with base game cards, you will feel the difference in the cardstock? I'm not sure it's a problem but it may be.

    @frankd9009 Maybe we can just buy some sleeves instead of rebuying the game. Order restored.

    @Athena Since all the new cards are new shock troops / commanders / drivers, you just pick them at the beginning of the game and that's it (they are like customizing your tank in a sense). So no shuffling.

    @Zerbique I guess you're right. I don't see the need for this expansion, to be honest, I'll likely skip.

    A bit more news on Pocket Landship expansion:


    • It will be comprised of 18 cards.


    • Half of the cards add contents for the solo play: 2 more shock troops, more commanders, more drivers.


    • The card stock will no longer be ultra thick (change of manufacturer).


    • The reprint of the first edition will introduce a few changes (different dice, different card stock as already mentioned, text replaced by icons).

    I forgot two games...




    A PnP, A Year as a Pirate, involving sea faring, ship management, crew management, and dice rolls. Everything needed to play the game is now available in the BGG files (I had skipped it the first time because there was 0 info).


    And a nice surprise...




    Space invaders, a dexterity board game by Kane Klenko and published by Buffalo Games. I wonder how much similar it will be to the designer's Flip Ships.



    It comes with its own little catapult... Isn't that cute?

    It does look fun but I'm not sure I want it. I had enjoyed HUNTED: Mining Colony at first but knew I wouldn't play it a lot and therefore didn't back it. Dexterity is probably a better fit for party games.

    @Athena Since I have collected all Space Invaders games so far, and I usually enjoy Klenko's designs, it seems a safe bet... But then, I doubt it will be easily available in Europe.
