Deluxe Edition of ‘Unspeakable Words’ Coming This Summer

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015

Playroom Entertainment will release a new deluxe edition of Unspeakable Words, with new artwork by John Kovalic, this summer, according to hobby industry news website ICv2.

The Call of Cthulhu word game, designed by James Ernest and Mike Selinker, with artwork by Tony Steele won Games Magazine‘s 2007 Word Game of the Year and appeared on the second season of TableTop.

Players compete to form words from the letter cards in their hand, where each letter is worth points based on the angles of the letter.  The goal is to make the highest scoring word possible, but the player must test the strength of the word against a roll of a d20. If the roll is equal to or higher than the value of the word, the player is safe. If it is lower, the player loses a piece of sanity, represented by Cthulhu pawns.  The first player to reach 100 points (without losing all their sanity) wins.

 

Originally intended for 2-6 players, the Deluxe Edition will support up to eight players.  The edition includes a host of extra items, including a glow-in-the-dark custom d20 engraved with Cthulhu, a screen printed dice/pawn bag; plus 10 of the 40 Cthulhu pawns (in 8 colors) will be glow-in-the dark.

In addition to the Deluxe Edition, Playroom will be reprinting the classic edition ofUnspeakable Words for the 6th time.  That edition includes 30 single-colored pawns, and is suitable for up to six players.  Classic and deluxe editions can be combined to host up to 14 players.

Tasty Minstrel Games Announces ‘Village’ Expansion

Tuesday, December 30th, 2014

Tasty Minstrel Games will release Village Port, the second expansion for the 2012 Kennerspiel des Jahres winner Village in January.

 

Inka and Markus Brand’s Village is a worker placement and set collection game that has players take control of families in a small historic town.  Each player pursues a different career path (a friar, a public official, an adventuring merchant) to find fame and glory and bring honor to their family name.  The first expansion, Village Inn, was released in 2013.  This new expansion, Village Port, allows players to board their own ship and travel the seven seas, perhaps as missionary or a merchant.  It includes life goal cards, so players can pursue a specific career (writer, historian, knight).   As an expansion, it requires the base game to play.

 

The box contains: a sea travel board, 5 wooden ships, 6 cocoa baskets, 6 tea bales, 5 ship tiles, 6 treasure chests, 15 captain cards, 4 setup cards, 12 influence cubes, 7 life goal cards, and 4 new villager cards (for use when combining Village Port and Village Inn expansions).  The game is for 2-5 players, ages 12 and up, and plays in 60-90 minutes.  MSRP is $34.95.

 

If this sounds like a board game you can get behind, let the friendly staff at Battleground Games & Hobbies know! Original article by ICv2.com.

Monday, December 29th, 2014

Z-Man Games has announced plans to release a new edition of Richard James’ card game Lords of Scotland in Spring 2015.

Lords of Scotland  is set in the historic era surrounding the wars for Scottish independence.  The hand management and strategy game casts players in the roles of Scottish lords, out to lay claim to the vacant throne.  Players recruit soldiers, build their army, and recruit clans to face rivals, proving their worth on the battlefield.  Players vie to reach forty or more points worth of supporters in order to claim the throne.

Z-Man has not released specific details about the new edition, other than announcing a redesigned look.  The previous edition included 99 cards, was for 2- 5 players, ages 12 and up, and played in 25 minutes.
