Wolsung: Extraordinary Voyages

$19.99

XIX century is the age of the last great discoveries. The last moment to explore places which no other adventurer has visited before. The world is getting more and more civilized. Nothing can stop the triumphant march led by the fearless explorers. These intrepid men and women are followed by others, acting not because of thirst for knowledge and adventure, but for massive profits. The fertile soil of exotic land is more and more often squashed by multi-national trading companies, and their skies are darkened by wings of metal dragons.

But what would these exotic lands be without temples lost in the jungle, tombs of ancient emperors, filled with gold and traps, and ruins of legendary cities? Treasures and cursed artefacts are guarded by unusual antagonists. In the colonies, explorers are threatened by hungry desert spirit, piranha-men from Amacunu and mysterious creatures of Purgatoria. This is the last moment to see these exotic wonders, before they become bland and banal. Are you ready?

In Extraordinary Voyages you’ll find:

-Complete descriptions of 12 colonies and 4 mysteries of the world

-Info about ancient civilisations, exotic dragons and the past of the contemporary colonies

-Additional rules for poisons, diseases and high noon duels

-9 organizations from faraway lands

Bioshock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia

$84.95 SRP

Your mother Columbia cries out as foreigners and anarchists threaten her virtue – will you not take up arms and defend her? Will you usher Columbia toward salvation or ruin?

1912. The magnificent floating city of Columbia, intended to be a shining symbol of American exceptionalism, has been disavowed by the very nation that created it. Part world’s fair and part battleship, Columbia has erupted into civil war as two sides vie for control of the most important city on Earth. The nationalistic Founders seek to prove that Columbia is even more American than its motherland, and the anarchistic Vox Populi seek to burn the floating city out of the sky. Caught in the middle of the infighting is disgraced former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, and Elizabeth, a mysterious young woman fated to be Columbia’s salvation or the bringer of its doom.

BioShock Infinite: the Siege of Columbia board game is based on the exciting BioShock Infinite video game. Set during the same series of events as the video game, players take on the role of the Founders and Vox Populi factions, desperately seeking to seize control of Columbia. Players will command mobs of combatants and set them against their opponents, striving to lay claim to the city’s bitterly contested districts. Challenging objectives offer tempting advantages, as each side uses their might, influence and resources to claim victory.

Article 27

Release Date: Nov 2012

$ 49.95

Your country has chosen you to protect their interests. If that means you have to bend the rules a little bit, well that’s just the cost of justice, right? In Article 27, you assume the role of one of the members of the UN Security Council, which means you wield the power of the veto. No proposal can pass when a member uses their veto, so there had better be something in the deal for you! Negotiations on the proposals can include side-deals, threats, or outright influence-peddling! But once the gavel comes down it’s time to vote, so you better have greased all the right palms with influence or your proposal is sunk! Article 27 requires no knowledge of politics or the UN to enjoy. If you like negotiation games, you’ll love Article 27! Sales Points: • An easy to play, pure negotiation game • Very fast paced, plays in ~6 minutes per player • Awesome components including a huge game board, thick cardboard player mat and player screens, 100s of wood and cardboard tokens, and a real wooden gavel! • Beautiful, colorful and funny cartoony artwork • No knowledge of politics or the UN is required at all!

Now is time to prove what you have told your friends when you all sat around and said you could do it better then the politicians Stronghold Games has done it again and give us all a chance to put our money where are mouths are.
