Can you escape the inferno?

It’s the year of the Consulship of Augustus and Vespasianus. The rich, beautiful Roman city of Pompeii sits at the foot of majestic Mount Vesuvius.  Renowned for exotic, easy, and ample luxury, the wealthy town attracts the best of Rome’s proud citizens.

But a terrible secret lies deep beneath the slopes of the mighty mountain. A primeval secret is about to unleash unspeakable horrors on this fateful afternoon. The mountain, so very long asleep, is finally reawakening…

 

Come to beautiful Pompeii! Use your cards to attract your Roman friends and relatives to visit select sites. But beware! The dreaded Vesuvius card means the mountain is awake, spewing fiery lava onto the unsuspecting city.

Now you must struggle to get your compatriots out of the doomed town before they are engulfed. Rushing to avoid lava flows, your people must flee before Vesuvius explodes and ash seals their fate. Lead the most survivors to safety and you win !

The Duke is the newest “abstract” game I have seen.  It has a chess like feel to it – that is if chess can be a hyper squirrel doing back flips. Check  it out as Matt shares his box with you.

 

 

In a few days we hope to have some sample games up for you or a tutorial.  Hope you have had fun.

$40.00 SRP

 

Over a hundred years of legend awaits you and your skills as you vie to be the lucky prospector to hike out of the Superstition Mountains with The Lost Dutchman’s Gold. However, this expedition for lost gold isn’t for the faint of heart. You will face grizzly creatures and dastardly disasters around every corner and even the ghost of The Lost Dutchman himself while contending with your opponent’s thirst for gold that grows with every nugget uncovered.

 

In this treacherous treasure adventure, prospectors must balance their skills to take on fierce creatures and dangerous disasters with their search of gold. Will you find the most treasure by prospecting or will the map lead you to victory? No one path guarantees victory but with the right amount of skill and a little bit of luck you can be the first prospector to uncover the famed Lost Dutchman’s Gold!

Are you up to the challenge of uncovering the legendary gold of the Lost Dutchman?

 

The Lost Dutchman is a treasure mining game for 2-5 players in which players are competing to mine as much of the Lost Dutchman’s Gold as they can before the water supply runs short bringing the hunt for treasure to a parching halt. Players can also win by successfully navigating the Community Treasure Map and finding the ever illusive Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine.
