Fantasy Flight Announces New ‘Netrunner’ Expansion
Monday, October 13th, 2014
Fantasy Flight Games will release the third deluxe expansion for its Android: Netrunner Living Card Game, Order and Chaos, in December, according to hobby news website ICv2.com.
The expansion story focuses on the Weyland Consortium’s ambitions to take humanity to the stars, and the Anarch’s attempt to trash Weyland’s safeguards for that future. The 165-card set (three copies each of 55 cards) focuses primarily on the Anarchs and Weyland Consortium, though all factions will find use for the new ice, assets, programs and resources, including six different neutral cards. Both Anarch and Weyland factions gain three new identities for their decks.
Netrunner was the top hobby channel non-collectible card game in Spring 2014 and has been a top seller since it was re-launched in 2012.

Fantasy Flight Games Announces ‘Descent: Journey’s in the Dark’ Expansion Pack

Reported by hobby news website ICv2.com late last week, Fantasy Flight Games has announced the latest Lieutenant Pack for its Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) semi-cooperative fantasy board game. The Lieutenant Packs for Descent: Journeys in the Dark bring new life to the Overlord’s most powerful agents, while also providing an additional level of strategic depth to the gameplay. The Skarn Lieutenant Pack, which is not a stand-alone game, requires a copy of Descent: Journeys in the Dark (2nd Edition) to play, but in the context of the game, it unleashes massive new powers. The Skarn is a magical construct infused with life by the death of a high mage, and it possesses the ability to increase its size and strength endlessly by incorporating pieces of its environment. If left unchecked, The Skarn has the potential to threaten all of Terrinoth with its enormity.
The new Skarn Lieutenant Pack brings one of the Overlord’s most feared minions to life with a detailed and dramatically sculpted figure that players can use to replace the lieutenant taken from the Manor of Ravens expansion.

The Skarn Lieutenant Pack also contains a ten-card plot deck, “Twisted Soul,” which can impart some of Skarn’s potent defenses to a player’s other monsters. The Plot Deck also invites overlords to harness the Skarn’s brute power and regenerative nature in any campaign.
The Skarn Lieutenant Packincludes one highly detailed plastic Skarn figure, 2 Agent Cards, 10 Plot Cards, 16 Threat & Fortune Tokens, and a rulesheet.

Reported late last week via ICv2.com, Fantasy Flight Games is preparing the Blood Bowl: Team Manager Foul Play Expansion for a Q3, 2014 release. Foul Play is a lowdown, cheating expansion that adds three new teams from the Putrid Players Guild in a new subdivision of the Team Managers’ Union. The newcomers include the disease-spreading Nurgle’s Rotters, the anarchic Chaos Dwarves of the Zharr-Naggrund Ziggurats, and the cheating Goblins of The Lowdown Rats.

Another addition to the BBTM game provided by the Foul Play Expansion is the introduction of stadiums, which provide the right treacherous environment for this most corrupt of all sports. Venues like the Nehekara Death Dome, The Ogham Stonefield, and Castle Waldenhof, not only present entirely different playing surfaces, but also different rules, since certain skills are outlawed in some venues.
The Foul Play Expansion comes in a colorful box that contains 10 stadium cards, 65 Bridge-size card for players and Spike/Magazine cards, 58 small cards split between Staff Upgrades, Team Upgrades, and Penalty cards, 23 cardboard tokens, and 1 rulesheet.

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.
