ICv2: ‘DungeonQuest Revised Edition’ Coming in July
Tuesday, May 6th, 2014
According to retailer news website ICV2.com, Fantasy Flight Games will release the board game DungeonQuest Revised Edition in July.
The fast-paced dungeon exploration game is set in Dragonfire Dungeon. There have been several editions released over the years, but the basic premise of collect treasure, evade traps, and fight monsters while negotiating the catacombs to escape the dungeon is the same.
This new edition has updated and retooled elements of the game to make it even more dangerous, including revamped rules, heroes and monsters. Fantasy Flight also worked with Jakob Bonds, the original designer of the game, to develop the new edition’s combat system, which is a return to the classic edition’s style. There is also a new Torchlight variant that allows players to create a larger, more complex dungeon.
The game is for 1-4 players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 60 minutes.
Check out this super-sweet board game when it comes into Battleground Games & Hobbies upon it’s release. Don’t miss it!

‘Star Wars X-Wing: Rebel Aces’ Expansion Pack Announced!
Sunday, March 23rd, 2014
Fantasy Flight Games has recently announced Star Wars X-Wing: Rebel Aces Expansion Pack, an expansion for the popular X-Wing collectible miniatures game, due out in quarter 3 of 2014. The Rebel Aces Expansion Pack is not a stand-alone game, it requires the core X-Wing game in order to play.
The X-Wing: Rebel Aces Expansion Pack contains one A-wing and one B-wing miniature, both which come with alternate paint schemes. The Expansion also includes four highly skilled new pilots, thirteen upgrade cards, a dramatic rescue mission scenario, plus all the tokens and maneuver dials needed to launch these starfighters against the Empire.
Both the A-wing and B-wing miniatures included in the Rebel Aces Expansion share the same 1/270 scale as the miniatures found in the A-Wing Expansion Pack and the B-Wing Expansion Pack.
Rebel Aces will be on sale now at your local Battleground Games & Hobbies retail store this fall. Keep an eye out!

Fantasy Flight Announces Expansion for ‘Talisman 4E’
Thursday, December 19th, 2013
Fantasy Flight Games has announced The Firelands, a new expansion for its Talisman Revised 4th Edition board game, which will release in the first quarter of 2014, according to news website ICv2.com.
This expansion will feature four new characters: the Dervish, the Nomad, the Jin Blooded, and the Warlord; as well as three new Alternative Ending Cards. There are new Terrain cards, which can change the game board itself, since cards are placed over existing spaces on the game board (a graveyard may be replaced by a forest, or a tavern may become runes). There are also 81 new Adventure cards, many of which focus on the threat of the Ifrit, and there is a new game mechanic introduced: burn. Players may be instructed by certain cards to burn a specific number of cards – which will be removed from the game and no longer have any effect. There are several new fireproof cards, but most of those only inflict more burn effects.
The box contains 81 Adventure cards, 18 Spell cards, 20 Terrain cards, 3 Alternative Ending cards, 4 new character cards and plastic figures, and 34 Fireland tokens. As an expansion, it requires theTalisman Revised 4E base game to play. The game is for 2 – 6 players, and plays in 1 – 2 hours. MSRP is $24.95.
