Emergence Event

$60.00

Emergence Event is an exciting new competitive space exploration game for 2-4 players. Each player controls a captain who commands their species’ capital ship. With a unique deck of captain cards, individual strengths, and special abilities, each captain offers players a very different game experience.

Players seek to explore and control locations in the galaxy to gain the resources, artifacts, and technology to help them face more difficult encounters later in the game. As players explore the galaxy, and time passes, encounters become more rewarding, but the penalty for failure rises. Players determine the length of the game by how quickly they move through the galaxy, and how well they manage the damage inflicted on them by their travels, or by their fellow captains.

Extra Extra!

A game by Andrew Bond

For 2-5 players, 90-150 minutes, ages 12 and up

Game type: Worker placement, bidding

INTRODUCTION

Stop the presses! Stories are coming in from around the world, but you have a limited amount of money, a few reporters, and a race against all the other newspapers to get your publication out first!

Stories require writing and photos, but advertising, headlines, interviews and features will all help boost your attention and your reputation!

Players place their reporters to claim stories, fit their stories into their paper’s layout, and get money from advertising or extra stories. Other reporters can bump yours if they have more money, so keeping a few dollars around will be helpful. Your newspaper has a specialty, so stories that match your readership will earn you more points. If you’re the first to press, you’ll score more points, but the best stories and the most complete newspaper will be the winner!

Pictomania

$49.95

Do you know what a zebra looks like? Can you draw it? No, well, then this game is perfect for you! Any zebra drawing you do will be fine as long as the other players don’t think your zebra is…a car!

In Pictomania, it really doesn’t matter if you can draw well. Each player will draw a picture of a word given to them and at the same time try to guess the drawings of the other players. You don’t have time for a masterpiece – just a small doodle will suffice – and then you will have more time to guess!

The player who can doodle just a little bit while making good guesses at the other drawings will be the winner!
