In Munchkin Apocalypse, every possible natural (and unnatural) disaster has happened. You are a rugged survivor in a world full of people – and things – that want to kill you and take your stuff. So do it to them first! And what’s with all these seals running around? Don’t they know the world’s about to end? You should keep an eye on that seventh one in particular . . . Tell the Players • Kill the monsters, take their stuff, and survive the end of the world. • A new card type: Disasters!

+6 Bag o’ Radioactive Munchkin D6

Release Date: Nov 2012

$ 6.95

These are 6-siders, and there are six in the package. Three of them match the Munchkin Apocalypse die. The other three do not. They are scary green and orange. They have the Munchkin head in place of the 1. Your customers will buy them so they can kill monsters and take their stuff. Tell the Players • You can never have too many dice! Half of them match the Munchkin Apocalypse die. The others are the same colors in reverse. • They actually work with other games, but why would you play anything else? • It’s Munchkin. It’s dice. What more do you need to know?

I don’t know about you all but I love a good game of Munchkins and if you never played it you need to get some and play a game Steve Jackson Games has so many version you will find one you like and you can mix all of them together to make a fun mess of a game for a great game night.

Fantastiqa

Release Date: Nov 2012

$ 69.99

FANTASTIQA is a deck-building board game set in a fantastical landscape of dark forests, mist-shrouded highlands, and frozen wastes. As you and your foes journey around the board, you will subdue strange creatures and fulfill quests. Each creature you encounter has an ability and a vulnerability. Manipulating these, you can subdue and recruit new creatures. Each creature you recruit is added to your expanding deck of cards, making its special ability your own! By combining the powers of different creatures, you can fulfill quests to score victory points and claim other special rewards. Some of the creatures you encounter carry precious gems, which you can spend to purchase powerful artifacts or to summon mythical beasts to your aid. You begin with a handful of household items, but you will grow in power as you adventure and gather allies! The board changes every time you play, so prepare for a new, exciting adventure each time you enter the world of Fantastiqa! FANTASTIQA is easy to learn but challenging to master – a game for families and gamers alike. Additional simplified rules are included for beginners and younger children.

Timeline: Historical Events From Asmodee

Timeline: Historical Events

$ 14.99

JFK’s assassination, the 1st step on the moon, the last crusade… Can you put all these events correctly on the timeline? Each player is dealt the same number of cards. At the start of the game, a card is drawn at random from the stack and is placed at the center of the table with the date showing. This is the starting point for a timeline that will be gradually completed by the players. The first player then chooses one of his cards and places it before or after the card on the initial map. The player’s card is then turned over to show the date of the historical event. If it is correct, it stays in place. Otherwise, the card is discarded and the player must draw another to replace it. The more cards in the timeline, the harder it is not to make a mistake! The first player with no cards left wins.

Dixit Jinx

$ 14.99

Release date: Oct. 19th 2012

Jinx is a new Game in the Dixit family but unlike the original game the drawings are not realistic illustrations depicting scenes but images halfway between abstraction and figuration. During the game 9 cards are exposed in a square 3×3. The active player draws a locator map that will show him one of the nine cards with which he will play. This location is held secret. The player must now speak, sing, act out something that makes thinking about this card just like in “Dixit”. The other players go around and point to the card they think is correct but beware! Only one player can point a given card. Once a player has chosen the right card, the turn stops (although some have not chosen). The player who finds the right card keeps it (each card gives a victory point). Players who erred give their cards to the player active. But if neither player gets it right card, the active player must return one of the cards previously won.
