Fantasy Flight Games to Publish New ‘Star Wars’ Card Game
Monday, June 16th, 2014
Fantasy Flight Games has announced it will launch Star Wars: Empire vs. Rebellion, a new strategic card game set in the Galactic Civil War in the third quarter of 2014, according to hobby news website ICv2.com.
The players in this two-player game are either in command of the resources of the Empire, or the heroes of the rebellion. Game play revolves around trying to tip the outcome of a key event, such as infiltrating Imperial Center or carrying out a strike on an enemy base, in your favor each round. Players deploy resources in the form of Military, Diplomacy, Recon, or The Force cards. Character cards shift unfolding events. Strategy cards for each faction are secretly chosen before play begins, and determine how the faction will approach its operations.
Star Wars: Empire vs. Rebellionis designed by Sebastien Gigaudaut and David Rakuto.
This is Fantasy Flight’s fifth Star Wars game, which also include Star Wars Age of Rebellion RPG, Star Wars Edge of the Empire RPG, Star Wars: The Card Game, and Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game.

CoolMiniOrNot Announces New Board Game ‘Arcadia Quest’ for December
Monday, June 16th, 2014

CoolMiniOrNot, publishers of ‘Super Dungeon Explore’, will release Arcadia Quest, a new campaign-based miniatures board game, in December 2014, according to hobby industry news website ICv2.com.
Designed by Eric Lang (Quarriors), the game is semi-cooperative, as each player leads a guild of heroes on a quest to dethrone the vampire lord and reclaim Arcadia. However, only one guild may lead in the end, so players must battle each other as well as teaming up against the monstrous hordes. The game features branching scenarios, and players gain new weapons and abilities as they progress. The game is designed so that players’ actions and abilities can be remembered from one session to the next, and CMON already has plans for additional campaign expansions.

The game is for 2- 4 players, and each scenario plays 45 -60 minutes. The box includes 9 double-sided game tiles, tokens, cards, a campaign book and sheet pad, four guild dashboards, 37 highly detailed miniatures and a rulebook. The game was funded on Kickstarter in March, and raised $774,222 from 4,885 backers ($158.49/backer average).

Coming Soon: ‘Gloom’ 2nd Edition
Tuesday, April 29th, 2014
Atlas Games has shared information on its planned late summer release of a new edition of the popular card game Gloom.
Gloom 2nd Edition will feature new packaging and art as well as streamlined rules and icons, with the hope that the improvements will make the game even easier to learn and play. The new edition is completely compatible with the first edition’s core game and all first edition expansions. The expansions, which include Unhappy Homes, Unwelcome Guests, and Unfortunate Expeditions, are also in the process of second edition reprints. All new reprints will bear a “2nd Edition” marking,
Gloom was a major recipient of the “TableTop Bump,” as sales increased to the point of sellout and reprints after it was featured on Season 1 of the show.

Cryptozoic to Release ‘The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug’ Board Game
Monday, December 9th, 2013
Cryptozoic will release The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Board Game on December 20th, a week after the movie premieres in theaters on Friday, December 13th, according to hobby industry news website ICv2.com.
Similar to Cryptozoic’s first Hobbit movie board game, this game is designed by Reiner Knizia. The game is a stand-alone, but can be combined with the Unexpected Journey game. Players must work cooperatively as they travel to the gold-filled caverns of Erebor (the Lonely Mountain) in search of treasure and the courage to defeat Smaug. The game is designed for 1 – 4 players, ages 15 and up, and plays in 30 – 45 minutes.
The box contains 2 game boards, a resource board, 4 cheat sheets, tiles, cards, custom dice, markers, a dragon pawn and a rulebook.
Cryptozoic also updated release dates for several of their other Middle Earth related titles. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Deck-Building Game and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Deck-Building Game are now Q1 2014 releases, and The Middle Earth Expandable Card Game: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Edition Starter Set and Expansions will also release early next year.
