Matt takes a look at the new party game The Princess Bride Prepare to Die from Game Salute.  The Princess Bride Prepare to Die is a game for 3 to 12 players that can be played in less than twenty minutes.  So watch as Matt reveals all Inigo Montoya has to offer you; before you die.  If you are a Princess Bride fan this certainly something to entertain.

You can find The Princess Bride Prepare to Die at Game Salute.

Matt takes a quick look at the Mythic Realms book for the Pathfinder RPG from Paizo. It is a small book wit a lot of background  so Matt really tries to focus on giving a general overview without spoiling the contents.  What he does focus on is the flow of the book and the excellent imagery presented by Paizo.

You can learn more about the Mythic series, Mythic Origin, Mythic Adventures, and Mythic Realms at Paizo

The Dark Valley: The East Front Campaign, 1941-45

$59.00 SRP

 

Although the game is a semi-monster, and covers the entirety of the conflict from the launch of Barbarossa to the end of the war, the game system emphasizes playability rather than rules overhead, allowing the players to concentrate on strategy choices rather than rules minutiae.

 

The core of the game system is a “chit-pull” activation system. Each turn a variety of action chits are drawn, in a random order, from the Action Chit Pool, and it is this that determines the exact flow of operations on that turn. If a German “Move/Combat” chit is drawn, the German player decides to move or fight (but not both), with all Axis units. If a German PZ HQ chit is drawn, units in command range of that HQ can move and conduct combat (with greater flexibility for armored units). If the Soviet Stavka chit is drawn, units may be deployed from Stavka Reserve to attempt to stem the Axis onslaught. If the Soviet Counterattack chit is drawn, Stalin insists that the attacks are made upon the fascist invaders, possibly to the detriment of the overall defense. When the Logistics chit is drawn, supply status is checked for all units.

 

Contains:

Rule Booklet

Scenario Booklet

3.5 Counter Sheet

Two Full Color Maps

Four Player Aid Cards

Two Six-sided Dice
