MaserfoxMaster Fox

$39.99

 

It’s night and the farm is quiet. What a great time to investigate the chick coop! In this frantic race of tactile recognition, you’ll need to capture the correct loot to win! How quick and careful are your hands as you attempt to become the Master Fox?

 

Each round in Master Fox, you flip three cards to reveal the animals you must capture, then shuffle the pawns inside the box, put on your fox blindfolds, and start feeling around with your hand for the right pawns! But your bag isn’t big enough to hold more than four catches, so you can’t grab everything you touch…

 

Whenever you think you have the right pawns, shout “Stop!” to end the round. Everyone scores one point for each wanted pawn in his bag, but loses one for incorrect or extra pawns.

 

Later rounds add tricks to the game: catch fox cubs for extra points, steal from your opponent’s bags with sneaky snakes, or defend yourself with the mighty hammer! Whatever you do, don’t be hasty because the shapes can be deceiving!

Peloponnes from Irongames this April

Peloponnes

$65.99

 

In Peloponnes, each player is trying to establish one of seven different civilizations in 1,000 BC. To do this, they must erect buildings and annex land to be developed, thereby increasing both their wealth and their population.

 

Your goal: Nothing less than being the most dominant civilization on the peninsula at the start of a new millennium. To do this, you’ll bid for tiles each round, with one chance to overbid others or bid on a different tile. After players take income from their holdings, two disaster tiles are revealed; if the third instance of a particular disaster is revealed, all players must suffer from it — although some buildings will shield you from these effects.  All land and building tiles provide victory points, and each inhabitant is worth three victory points as well.

 

Two complications, however: First, you must feed your civilization’s inhabitants twice during the game and once again at game’s end or else see them starve. Second, your score at the end of the game is the lower total of your population points and your land/building points.

 

Irongames products are made in Germany.

Sea Kings

$60.00

 

Land, Wealth and Fame. This is what inspired Vikings to travel far from home. Fighting dangerous seas, foes and each other. They would go anywhere, anytime and in any weather. You are one of the Viking leaders seeking fortune in the unknown with your long boat and crew. Do you have what it takes to be a great Sea King by making new discoveries, settling hostile lands, crafty trading, and raiding with the fierceness of a Norseman? If so, seek the throne and make it yours.

 

The Viking leaders of these expeditions were called Sea Kings because of their skills in traveling uncharted waters to destinations few knew. And they wanted to be King, back in their home lands. To fulfill their ambitions, they raided, traded, and settled far away lands to attract followers in their quest to become King.

$64.99

 

Korea is called America’s “forgotten war”. There are very few games on the topic, and none quite like this. The US Army, US Marine Corp, ROK Army, NKPA, and CPA forces are all represented. Air power, armor, and the naval might of the UN forces are represented simply and elegantly. Rail movement, amphibious landings, and surprise attacks are in here too.
