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 !

Carcassonne Celebrates its Ten Year Anniversary From Rio Grande

 Gaming News  Comments Off on Carcassonne Celebrates its Ten Year Anniversary From Rio Grande
Dec 122011
 

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.
