Become One with the new Magic the Gathering Set hitting us with Prerelease this weekend!!

All will be one! Since the fall of Mirrodin, New Phyrexia has bloomed into its own biomechanical society. As we return to this deadly plane, we will meet new characters and witness the fate of those unlucky souls who came before . . .

When the Phyrexians invaded Mirrodin, they fell under the influence of the plane’s colored suns. The mana from the white sun gave birth to Elesh Norn. She adopted and twisted the societies and beliefs of those she conquered into her Phyrexian faction, the Machine Orthodoxy. She preaches a vision of grand unity where no creature is separated from the other by such pitiful, mortal barriers as skin or flesh.

At first, Norn believed she was the divine speaker for Karn, the planeswalking golem who brought Phyrexians to Mirrodin. As their creator, he was revered as a god. But he proved to be mortal, flawed, and betrayed the Phyrexian cause. This convinced Norn that she must become her people’s new leader, and she dubbed herself the Mother of Machines. To shepherd in a new age of Phyrexian glory, she has orchestrated a plan to unite the Multiverse.

A city-survival game where heat means life and every decision comes with a cost!!

In Frostpunk: The Board Game, up to four players will take on the role of leaders of a small colony of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world that was hit by a severe ice age. Their duty is to effectively manage both its infrastructure and citizens. The core gameplay will be brutal, challenging, and complex, but easy to learn. The citizens won’t just be speechless pieces on the board. Society members will issue demands and react accordingly to the current mood, so every decision and action bears consequences.

The players will decide the fate of their people. Will you treat them like another resource? Are you going to be an inspiring builder, a fearless explorer, or a bright scientist? Is your rule going to be a sting of tyranny or an era of law and equality?

The game is based on a bestseller video game by 11bit studios, the creators of This War of Mine. The original (digital) edition of Frostpunk is a highly successful strategy-survival-city-builder, a BAFTA-nominee that originally launched in 2018.

Deck deconstruction, escalating tension, card combos, and Hell itself! 

As a successful Magician, you have been able to fund a lifetime of research by delivering to the petty demands of liars, philanderers, gluttons and the least of Humanity.

How refreshing, then, when a client should emerge with a commission of horrifying simplicity that has the potential for acquiring a vast amount of knowledge – perhaps the ultimate knowledge – albeit at the expense of many millions.

“Release the denizens of Hell into the Earth, with Baphomet – The Sabbath Goat – at their Head, for one night only and let them run amok. Let us see the consequences – for aesthetic reasons only, of course.”

However, do not expect this matter to proceed without interference from the Church and/or from Hell itself: the best-laid plans do not always go the way expected.

Inspired by the Black Easter novellas by James Blish, the aim of Aleph Null is to successfully summon the demonic Prince Baphomet who, when he appears, expects there to be no cards in your hand, the main deck and the discard pile; if there are any cards remaining in these “zones”, you lose. However, “not losing” in this way doesn’t mean that you have won: any cards still in play also count against you – too many and you shall lose also. The sooner you “win”, the better your chance of surviving any due punishment.

Embrace Chaos with this new Vanguard set for the Beasts!!

The Beasts of Chaos are twisted amalgamations of man and beast, filled with a burning desire to see the edifices of civilisation torn down and despoiled. Born from the primordial power of Chaos itself, these creatures gather in immense herds, stirring themselves to a frothing rage beneath looming, rune-scarred totems before loping forth in search of prey.

If you want nothing more than to bring ruin to the Mortal Realms, this box makes an ideal start for a Beasts of Chaos army – or an excellent expansion to any existing collection – and will save you money when compared with buying the kits individually. The set includes a mighty Great Bray-Shaman to lead your army, along with a selection of durable and hard-hitting Battleline units in the form of Gors, Bestigors, and Ungors, as well as hard-hitting Dragon Ogors with which to break through enemy lines. It’s a full army in one box, leaving you ready to crush foes in your games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Don your moon mask and get Gitzy with this new Vanguard set!!

The Gloomspite Gitz are cunning and vindictive in the extreme, their deranged grotty minds forever spinning up fresh tricks and vicious ploys. Dismiss the cackling cruelty of the grots, the hungry ferocity of their squigs, and the thoughtless strength of the cavern-dwelling troggoths at your peril – these are the true children of the Bad Moon.

If you want to launch spiteful attacks from the shadows of the Mortal Realms, this box makes an ideal start to a Gloomspite Gitz army – or a way to expand your collection – and will save you money over buying its component kits individually. The box includes a cunning Loonboss to lead a horde of Battleline grots into battle, such as fiendish Stabbas and bouncing Squig Hoppers, supported by hulking Rockgut Troggoths. It’s a full army in one box, leaving you ready to emerge from the caves and descend on your foes.

Deduce who is the Demon through logic and bluffing!!

In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, ‌a demon walks amongst you…

During a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight, there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A Demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion. Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village?

Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 20 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townfolk.

Take control of a faction in the Forgotten Realms and fight for glory!

Dungeons & Dragons: Onslaught is a competitive skirmish game in which each player controls an adventuring party from one of the powerful factions of the Forgotten Realms. Parties delve into dungeons, battle rival adventurers, and confront fearsome monsters on a quest for treasure and glory.

In more detail, Dungeons & Dragons: Onslaught is a scenario-based combat game in which you collect treasure, level up, and bring powerful abilities to bear using dice rolls, upgrade cards, and the new combat dial card system to keep track of the action.

The core set of Onslaught includes material for two players, including twelve characters from two factions (Harpers and Zhentarim) and a horde of monsters — 21 pre-painted figures in all.

Manage your population throughout medieval Europe to survive the plague!!

It is the year 1347 AD, and a disaster is about to strike. The Black Death is approaching, and during the next few years, large parts of the population of Europe and Northern Africa will be killed by the plague.

In Rattus, the players settle in the various regions of Europe and Northern Africa, while the plague spreads through all these regions. The players gain help from the various professions of the middle ages. Some of these, like peasants and bakers, help the players grow their populations. Some, like the monks and nuns, use wisdom and faith to avoid the plague, while the warfare conducted by the knights and soldiers spreads the plague to new areas. However, the plague does not make any distinction. When the rats arrive, no one can feel safe. Finally, the plague withdraws and the game ends. Only then will it be clear who was able to keep their population alive — and win the game!

Rattus: Big Box includes not only several previous released expansions and promos, but also previous unpublished materials, modules, and bonus cards. More specifically, this renewed edition of the Rattus line contains all materials of the base game and the Pied PiperAfricanus, and Academicus expansions. Additional new content is included, and players can add the new “Guilds & Inns” and “Bonus” modules to create even more variety and challenge.

This edition also contains popular bonus cards like The Judge, The Jester, and Boccaccio, as well as all 27 level upgrade tiles.

Build the greatest Roman cities and bring glory to Rome in this tile-placement, city builder board game for 1-4 players!

In Magna Roma, the objective is to make the most points at the end of the game by building your city efficiently! To do so, players take turns to place city tiles in their city. A newly placed tile must be connected to at least one of the previously placed tiles. When a player places a tile, the connection with the adjacent tiles will result in producing one or more resources for the player. For example, connecting two half-circles found on the tiles produces a coin, a rectangle and triangle produce population, a rectangle and half-circle produce a legion etc. What’s more, if the connected shapes are of the same color, the game rewards the player with double the resources.

With these resources, players will be able to play the other actions in the game, such as: build different monuments in your city, gain a Luxury Good, gain the Gods’ Favor tiles, conquer new provinces for the Emperor all serving the same goal – to gain the most points at the end of the game and build the greatest Roman city that ever existed!

The deluxe version features 12 beautiful Monument miniatures for enhanced game experience!

Vanguard boxes are a great way to start or fluff an army!

The Slaves to Darkness march across the Mortal Realms in the names of Archaon Everchosen, Be’lakor the Dark Master, and the Gods of Chaos themselves, ever-fighting to crush Sigmar’s oppressive notions of peace. They have suffered and sacrificed to conquer this land – and inflicted untold suffering in turn. Now none will halt their renewed advance – the armoured tread of their warriors, bone-shaking hooves of knights, and grinding chariot wheels storm across the battlefield in a relentless tide.

If you want to claim the Mortal Realms for the Ruinous Powers, this Vanguard box presents a perfect place to start your Slaves to Darkness army – or to grow an existing horde. The box features a potent Chaos Lord to lead your army, along with an armoured Battleline of mighty Chaos Warriors, fast-moving Chaos Knights, and a thundering Chaos Chariot to chase down errant foes. It’s a complete army in a box, meaning you can head straight to the battlefield and claim glory for the Dark Gods.

Charge into battle with the illustrious Daemon Prince!

Daemon Princes were once mortal champions of Chaos, elevated to eternal daemonhood as a coveted reward from their mercurial patrons. Each of these corrupt monstrosities is a walking testament to the infernal power of Chaos, an immortal warlord blessed with manifold malevolent gifts throughout their long and treacherous Path to Glory. A Daemon Prince soars or strides across the battlefield like an omen of doom, unleashing all the warp-forged weaponry, monstrous strength, and unholy sorcery at their disposal.
