Asmodee to Release ‘Dixit’ & ‘Seasons’ Expansions
Wednesday, March 5th, 2014
Popular hobby industry news website ICv2.com reports that Asmodee plans to release expansions for Dixit and Seasons in 2014: Seasons: Path of Destiny will arrive in Q2, and Dixit: Daydreams will release in Q4.
Dixit: Daydreams won’t be released until Q4, and details are few. The Spiel des Jahres winning storytelling card game was designed by Jean-Louis Roubira, and Asmodee has already released three expansions and the series received a huge “TableTop Bump” after the game was featured on the first season of the show.
Seasons: Path of Destiny is the second expansion for Regis Bonnessee’s sorcerer battle game of cards and dice: Seasons. This expansion adds new powers, enchantments and special abilities, and there will be new strategies for game play, tied to the new Die of Destiny. The box contains 62 cards (42 Power cards, 10 Enchantment cards, 10 Replica Power cards), 30 tokens, 1 Die of Destiny and a rulebook. The first edition printing will also include a special promo card. As an expansion, it requires the base game to play. The game is for 2 – 4 players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 45 minutes. The game will release in late April or early May. Source: ICv2.com.

Winner’s Circle Special – Game Day Weekend Winners (Abington)
Tuesday, March 4th, 2014
This past weekend Battleground Games & Hobbies hosted the ever-popular Magic Game Day to celebrate the release of Born of the Gods. These special events occur three to four weeks after the release of every Magic the Gathering set. So, look forward to the Journey into Nyx Game Day and you could win an exclusive Game Day play mat and one-of-a-kind promo cards! For Born of the Gods Game Day, players received a promo Kiora’s Follower for signing up, with the top eight players each receiving a foil promo Pain Seer!
Now, let’s see who won!
Saturday 5:00 PM Game Day – Abington, MA
Congratulations to Jack Spendlove, playing Mono-Black Devotion. Jack split in the finals with Battleground Games & Hobbies Online Manager Chris Alexander, whom likewise did battle with Mono-Black Devotion.
Sunday 2:00 PM Game Day – Abington, MA
And then, Chris Alexander decided he wanted the Born of the Gods Game Day play mat, after all, defeating Alex Suarez in the finals of Battleground Games & Hobbies Sunday Game Day event. Chris’ “devotion” to his Mono-Black deck proved to much for Alex and his Jund Monsters deck to overcome in three great games of Magic.
Congratulations to the top finishers of each event. In addition, on behalf of the staff here at Battleground Games & Hobbies, we would like to thank everyone that attended our Born of the Gods Game Day events. We greatly appreciate you choosing to hang out with us.
