WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR DAWNBRINGERS DROP THIS SATURDAY 7/8/23!

The aetheric howl of Ghur has flooded the Mortal Realms with savage war-lust and barbarous slaughter. The echoing beat of Great Stomp pulses in the souls of all things, turning ordinary mortals into feral savages, awakening spirits of bestial magic, and goading creatures great and small to wanton acts of rampage.

Faced with this primal whirlwind, the Dawnbringer Crusades sally out to reconquer lands lost to Chaos, and stake their claim in Sigmar’s name. In Hammerhal, a Dawnbringer Crusade of staggering vision prepares to leave the two great gates of the Twin-Tailed City, kicking off a new campaign series for Warhammer Age of Sigmar – Dawnbringers.

FLAMECRAFT IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST NEW TABLETOP BOARD GAMES TO DROP THIS YEAR!

Artisan dragons, the smaller and magically talented versions of their larger (and destructive) cousins, are sought by shopkeepers so that they may delight customers with their flamecraft. You are a Flamekeeper, skilled in the art of conversing with dragons, placing them in their ideal home and using enchantments to entice them to produce wondrous things. Your reputation will grow as you aid the dragons and shopkeepers, and the Flamekeeper with the most reputation will be known as the Master of Flamecraft.

In Flamecraft, 1-5 players take on the role of Flamekeepers, gathering items, placing dragons and casting enchantments to enhance the shops of the town. Dragons are specialized (bread, meat, iron, crystal, plant and potion) and the Flamekeepers know which shops are the best home for each.

Visit a shop to gain items and a favor from one of the dragons there. Gathered items can be used to enchant a shop, gaining reputation and the favors of all the dragons in the shop. If you are fortunate enough to attract fancy dragons then you will have opportunities to secure even more reputation.

Flamecraft is a fantasy game of city building, worker placement, and hand management.

ETHERFIELDS DELIVERS A MASSIVE NEW IMMERSIVE BIG BOX BOARD GAME THAT YOU GOTTA CHECK OUT!

Etherfields is a narrative, cooperative game for 1 – 4. A series of unique Dreams await to be discovered through tense exploration and tactical encounters.

Learn about the Dreamers, their forgotten past, and their desperate mission. Uncover the surreal, sprawling dreamscapes. Just don’t be surprised when—just like dreams often do—they become a little disturbing… Prepare to be challenged by escape-room like riddles. Spot a clue in the image. See a hidden link between several pieces of information. Use your instinct as much as your logic.

In the beginning, you’ll explore the Dreamworld, trying to find out what this is all about and who you are – and you are there for a specific reason, but, at first, you can’t remember too much. You’ll have to restore your memories from scattered pieces.

DUBIOUS DELIVERS A MUST-NEW DEDUCTION GAME THAT YOU GOTTA PLAY!

Doubt is in the air!

Answer five questions and listen carefully to what others have to say about themselves. Try to guess who’s who and become the shrewdest detective ever!

Dubious is a game of deduction in which each player creates a story for their character and tries to get the majority of the players to guess their occupation and secret. At the same time, each player has to listen carefully to what others have to say about themselves and prove their detective finesse.
