Star Wars Rebellion

Star Wars RebellionDescription from Publisher:

The Galactic Empire’s Death Star™ sets a deadly course toward Alderaan™ while Star Destroyers deploy probe droids throughout the Outer Rim. Meanwhile, a young woman risks her life to smuggle invaluable technical data to the Rebel Alliance, and a young farm boy dreams of adventure in the stars, little aware of the role he may someday play in deciding the course of the Galactic Civil War and the fates of countless lives…

The actions of a handful of men and women shape the course of the Galactic Civil War in Star Wars™: Rebellion, a board game of epic conflict between the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance for two to four players.

In Star Wars™: Rebellion, you control the entire Galactic Empire or the fledgling Rebel Alliance. You must command starships, account for troop movements, and rally systems to your cause. Featuring more than 150 plastic miniatures and two game boards that account for thirty-two of the Star Wars™ galaxy’s most notable star systems, Star Wars™: Rebellion aspires to be as large and sweeping as the Star Wars™ universe itself.

We have several new and exciting games on our shelves to start the New Year!

Tyrants of the Underdark

 

TotU-Box-3DDescription from Publisher:

Tyrants of the Underdark pits 2 to 4 players against each other to take over territory in the tumultuous Underdark, mashing up deck-building mechanics with board control.

Designed by Peter Lee, Rodney Thompson, and Andrew Veen, and produced by Gale Force Nine, Tyrants of the Underdark is a competitive board game in which you play as a drow house recruiting monsters, cultists and demons to aid you in controlling locations such as Menzoberranzan and Blingdenstone. Using power and influence as resources, Tyrants of the Underdark features multiple strategies you can use in crafting your deck of minions. Be the spymaster infiltrating your enemy’s strongholds or the deadly war-leader concentrating on assassinating enemy troops. No matter how you decide to play, whoever controls most of the Underdark at the end of the game wins, unless there’s some hidden strategy in play.

 

Flash Point: Fire Rescue

imageFPFR_webDescription from Publisher:

Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a thrilling ride for friends and family, whether they are gamers or just looking for a good, fun time.    Games are about 45 minutes, 2-6 players (solo options), 10+ years – suitable for kids of all ages with appropriate supervision and involvement.

Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a fully cooperative game, everyone plays on the same firefighting team – win or lose together!   Every turn is filled with the tension of having to fight the fire back, rescuing victims or investigating points of interest.  Players can ride the ambulance to safety or fire the engine’s deck gun in a desperate attempt to control the blaze.  No two games are ever the same – and with two rulesets (family, & experienced) and 3 different difficulty levels there is a challenge to be had for all.

January Family Game Nights: Pandemic and Doctor Panic

Posted on by Leave a comment
Every Thursday we’ll be featuring family games. One selection meant to appeal to younger children and their families, and a second to families with older kids or groups of friends. We’ll be running the same games all month, so if you miss your chance or really like the game there will be plenty of opportunities to play. After demoing the game with us, you’ll also have an opportunity to buy your own copy for 10% off.
For the month of January, we will be playing Pandemic and Doctor Panic.

Save your patients with Doctor Panic!

DoctorPanic_Content_Packaging

Step into the operating room! The clock is ticking to save your patient. Can you perform all of the tasks needed to save your patient before time runs out? Are you able to handle the unexpected emergencies called in by the hospital director?

Players form groups of 2-3 players to perform a series of tasks. In the background, the patient’s heartbeat acts as a timer (via a smartphone app or downloadable soundtrack). The game also delivers multiple distractions through the soundtrack that prompt another task that must be completed before work on the patient can resume.

This game is perfect for families with active young children, as many of the tasks that need to be completed involve fun activities. Need to take an X-Ray? Match the pose on the X-Ray card! Power outage at the hospital? Better pedal an imaginary bike to restore power. The game is perfect for 2-9 players and recommended for ages 8 and older; however, many players have said that younger children can easily play along and the game has multiple difficulty settings to fit the skill of the group playing.

Find the Cure with Pandemic

Pandemic

Travel the globe to find a cure and save the world from deadly outbreaks with Pandemic!

In groups of 2-4, players form an elite disease control team to fight four deadly outbreaks on a global scale. Treat infections and gather the research you need to develop a cure, but there will be other hurdles along the way. Experience the game a different way every time you play. Players have the options of selecting multiple roles, and the outbreaks occur in different locations at the start of each game. All players are part of the same team and will either win or lose together.

Pandemic is recommended for 2-4 players ages 8 and older, though challenging gameplay and the difficulty of winning the game might make it better suited for older children or groups of friends ready for a challenge.
