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.

Gale Force 9 Announces ‘Firefly’ Board Game Expansion
Monday, June 23rd, 2014
Gale Force 9 has announced the September release of the Blue Sun, a major expansion for its popular Firefly Board Game, according to hobby news website ICv2.com. TheBlue Sun expansion allows players to explore the dangerous realm of “rim space.” The Blue Sun Expansion is geared for experienced players of the Firefly board game that is based on Joss Whedon’s ill-fated outer space “western,” which won the hearts of fans, but not those of network execs, during its short run on the Fox Network.
Players utilizing the Blue Sun Expansion will be able to incorporate the Breakin’ Atmo game booster as well as the Pirates & Bounty Hunters Expansion. The Blue Sun Expansion is recommended for experienced players of the Firefly game — players who wish to explore new realms and confront the deadly Reivers in the Burnham system.
The Blue Sun Expansion, which comes in an attractive 10” x 10” x 2″ game box, and will include a new 10″ x 20″ board expanding the realms for space for exploration (including Rim Space, the Blue Sun System, and the Burnham System), plus two new ships, two new leaders for players to play as, two new Job contacts and a new supply planet, Meridian, capital of the Blue Sun system.
Some preview copies of the Blue Sun Expansion may be available at GenCon Indy.
