Two New Rio Grande Games Announced for December
Tuesday, November 26th, 2013
Rio Grande Games has added two new games to its list of December releases: Power Grid: India/Australia and Last Will: Getting Sacked.
The Power Grid: India/Australia expansion in designed by Power Grid designer Friedemann Friese and features a two sided board (one for each country). It follows the normal rules for the Power Grid base game except for a few rule changes based on the special conditions of the two countries. As an expansion, the base game is required to play. The game is for 2 – 6 players, ages 13 and up, and plays in about 90 minutes. MSRP is $14.95.
Last Will: Getting Sacked is designed by Vladimir Suchy (Shipyard, League of Six, Last Will) and is an expansion for Last Will. The lawyers have found a hidden clause in Uncle’s last will and testament, so spending all your money isn’t enough, you have to lose your job too! Players compete to get fired by missing work, as well as reducing their income. Since nothing makes people broke faster than a wedding, there is also the addition of six nuptial cards, so a new spouse can blow through player’s money. The game is for 2 – 5 players, ages 13 and up, and plays in 45 – 90 minutes. MSRP is $39.95.
