One of Fred Distributions hottest games, Roll Through the Ages is back in print. Responding to customer feedback, the dice now have a darker heat stamp for better visibility. This novel and fun dice rolling civilization game remains in high demand! Attack Deluxe Expansion replaces the popular Attack Expansion (you need Attack to place this game!) with several new features including:

• Improved naval combat (new naval dice included with this game)
• Threaded turns (little to no downtime!)
• Improved economic and technology engine
• 360 Naval miniatures
• Asia/Western European map (couples with Attack map for global domination!)

Here is an excerpt from one of the Attack Deluxe Expansion playtesters:

To provide some detail, the naval combat system now uses dice equivalent to those used for land combat, i.e. with silhouettes of the units on the faces to determine which ones hit, which – of course – rewards combined arms just like the land combat system and provides a single, consistent combat resolution system for both land and naval. Aircraft carriers get to roll an additional land combat die, hitting when an airplane silhouette is rolled.

The former economic cards are now used as technologies in a clever, consistent, evolutionary way that provides better game balance. No more spending all that cash to take a chance on getting something useless or something game-breaking from the old tech deck. The new political action deck provides for a sort of play ‘em when you choose ‘em event cards, and each one provides a bonus for a particular form of government (monarchy, fascist, communist or democracy).

Finally, a maximum number of actions per turn with those actions threaded by player significantly reduces down time. And you can still burn oil reserves to take an extra action in a turn – but only ONE action per turn that way and only as long as you have reserves remaining.

Railways of England and Wales is the new map for their Railways of the World series. This game features two sets of rules. The first set continues in the vein of Rails of Europe and introduces a new card that is sure to raise the stakes, the Railway Inspector. 10 brand new Rail Barons also add to the mix. In addition, there is a second ruleset by the very popular Martin Wallace. This game introduces a new share system that adds an exciting new economic engine to this series.

Railways of the World has been repackaged based on feedback from several players. This game now contains the map of the Eastern U.S., redesigned so that it has the same footprint as Rails of Europe, as well as a mounted map of Mexico, six all new plastic train colors.

In the Warhammer world, four Gods of Chaos battle for supremacy. Khorne, the Blood God, the Skulltaker, lusts for death and battle. Nurgle, the Plaguelord, the Father of Corruption, luxuriates in filth and disease.Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways, the Great Conspirator, plots the fate of the universe. Slaanesh, the Prince of Pleasure and Pain, the Lord of Temptations, lures even the most steadfast to his six deadly seductions.

.

In the Chaos in the Old World board game, each player takes the role of one of the malevolent Lords of Chaos. Each god’s distinctive powers and legion of followers give the controlling player unique strengths and heretical abilities with which to corrupt and enslave the Old World. Yet, as the powers of Chaos seek domination by corruption and conquest, they must vie not only against each other, but also against the desperate denizens of the Old World who fight to banish the gods back to the maelstrom of the Realm of Chaos…for now.

A game in which One player takes the role of Sauron, who is attempting to dominate Middle-earth with his nefarious plots and evil minions. Up to three other players take the roles of heroes who must hold the darkness at bay until Gandalf’s plans have matured. To do so, the heroes must embark on dangerous quests and consult with the famous characters of Middle-earth to gain favor and knowledge.

Sunday 20th is lined up to be a board games day, looks like 6 or 7 folks will be turning up. Exact games to be decided, but games that support 7 players are going to be needed. Definitely Game of Thrones is on for later in the day once some of the folks have to head out for company parties.  Steve’s in town from the Philippines and will likely have a sack full of new games for us to try out!
