Game Box

After the Empire from Grey Fox Games features a unique castle defense/worker placement set of mechanics allowing you to dive into a very thematic game experience. Our very own Justin just reviewed this game and is very excited about this game.

This is a great way for you to get a copy of the game or to order the deluxe version that won’t be available for retail. The deluxe version features a number of upgraded components. The biggest being the upgraded soldier tokens. These are just wooden blocks in the standard version, but actually are small figures for the deluxe. Other upgraded components include plastic wood and iron cubes, food token upgrades, component trays and more.

This game is certain to delight those of us who love castle sieges, worker placement, and good strategy games.

7 Moons: Heroes of Dragon Reach from Gunpowder Studios advertises as a family board game set in a world of dragons and monsters for 1-4 players. You will take on the role of a royal emissary who is charged with the defense of the land. Gather resources, recruit allies, fill your war chest, and complete quests to stop the shadow army from ruling the day.

During the game you will move about the game board rolling dice to indicate your movement. You can move more quickly on horse or dragon back, should you be fortunate enough to gather the service of a noble steed. As you move about you will engage in encounters that will drive a narritive into the game of quests and other interactions.

In addition, you can play this game today on Tabletopia and give it a try before you back. If you want a lighter game you can play with your family and enjoy a fantasy adventure game then this is worth taking a look.

Kickstart Monday: Ragnorock and the Eternal Palace

By

On March 8, 2021

In Kickstart Mondays

It’s Monday. It’s time to dive into crowdfunding. Here are a couple of treasures we think you might be interested in.

Ragnorocks

Ragnorocks from Grey Fox Games and designed by Gordon Hamilton (you know, that same guy that designed Santorini) will provide a unique game play experience for 1-2 players. On your turn you will move one of your viking figures on the board and place a runestone. You will have the option to play myth cards that may affect your viking’s ability to do things or give you options on placement of the runestone you normally wouldn’t have. Score the most points and you win!

This abstract game looks to be a real treat, much like Santorini is. If you are in need of a good two player game and checkers and chess have been played out then this might be the game for you.

Eternal Palace

Eternal Palace from Alley Cat Games features a dice placement (dice represent your workers) game with beautiful artwork and intriguing Euro style mechanics. Start your turn by rolling your dice behind a screen. On your turn you will be able to place your dice onto the game board. Beware as you don’t know what your opponents rolled. Action spots on the board may require a 3 or greater or a 5 on the dice to use. Since you don’t know what your opponents rolled you could gamble and take a more needed action only to find out that they did roll that 5 on the one dice they had of that type.

The game boasts that the main game will have over 400 components. If dice placement, tons of components, and player interaction sound great then hop over and back this project.
