Dr. Shark

$ 40.00 SRP
The evil Dr. Shark is holding a cocktail party on his private island. Spies will try to gather clues hidden in the pool in order to build a case against Dr. Shark. In turn, the players move their spy towards a free space at the bottom of the pool. They then gather clues by searching bare-handed in a bag, by following various directives. They could end up searching by only paying attention to the shapes or textures of the clues, search by the handful, or actually look into the bag to get the clue of their choice. The search ends if they find a shark or if the timer runs out. They must then sort out the clues to work out the proof (the clues earned must correspond to the images shown on the tokens placed next to the game board). The game lasts a variable number of turns depending on the number of players. The spy with the most points when the game ends wins.

The 2001 recipient of the Spiel des Jahres award for gaming excellence, Rio Grande’s Carcassonne is a clever, tile-based boardgame set in the southern French city of Carcassonne, famous for its unique Roman and Medieval fortifications. Players develop the area around the city, deploying their followers on the roads, in the cities, in the cloisters, and in the fields to build prestige, power, and dominance in their quest to claim victory!

Klaus-Jurgen Wrede’s genre-defining Carcassonne will celebrate its 10th Anniversary this year! To mark the occasion, Hans im Gluck, the original publisher of the Spiel des Jahres-winner, introduces Carcassonne: Jubilaumsedition, a 10th Anniversary Edition of the game which includes all the contents of the original game, plus ten new land tiles and colored translucent meeples, all packaged in a blue, meeple-shaped storage case.

Privateer Press Celeberates 10 Years

It seems like only it was only yesterday that I played my first WARMACHINE game.  I remember thinking it was a fun game and that the company would bury themselves.  Well,  not only was I wrong they made it through ten years of gamers.  I am sure Privateer looks back at the ten years with puffy chests, and they should.   They have accomplished so many great things.  But that is not why I am writing you today.  In all of the partying Privateer has announced a 10th anniversary no Quarter.  It is going to be one massive issue with reflections of the past.   But, that is not all Privateer Press is running all kinds of sales as part of the celebrations.

 

So thank you, Privateer Press for remembering us in your success.
