Key Celeste ExpansionKeyflower: Key Celeste Expansion

$5.00 SRP

Discovered drifting out to sea, unmanned and apparently abandoned, the Key Celeste ship was towed to shore. Her cargo was untouched and the personal belongings of passengers and crew were still in place. What had caused the crew to abandon ship? The terrible truth was soon apparent. The Key Celeste had become a ghost ship!

Key Celeste, a mini-expansion for Keyflower, is comprised of one large Key Celeste hexagonal tile, one oversize grey ghost keyple, and a rules sheet. Players bid for the Key Celeste tile and obtain the ghost in the same way that they bid for the turn order tiles. The owner of the ghost can use it to frighten away and replace another player’s winning bid. The player who played the ghost takes the replaced worker(s) and places them behind his screen. These workers are now available to play by that player in the usual way. Points are available at the end of the game for the owner of the Key Celeste tile and additionally for the ghost if they own both.

Key Celeste adds more interest and considerations to Keyflower and changes this popular game in more ways than gamers are likely to initially anticipate!

Duel of Ages II Base SetDuel of Ages II Base Set

$49.99 SRP

 

Duel of Ages II is a time-scramble board game played between two opposing sides each having 1 to 4 players, with uneven size allowable. Each side controls a selected team of 8 – 12 characters from different ages of time: Ancient, Colonial, Modern and Future. The goal is to win greater glory in overcoming adventures and in tactical combat than the opposing team.

 

Game play is an unusual mix of tactical wargame-style combat, treasure gathering, and non-combat character teamwork and adventuring, and has no close comparison to other games. Differences between characters are significant, with many having poor fighting skills. Game play and winning is therefore an act of balancing fighting, treasure-gathering and adventuring.

$24.99 SRP

You awaken to find yourself in a torch lit room. Moments ago you were on duty for the princess at the royal banquet. What or who has brought you to this place? A quick check reveals your paladin armor and sword still intact. You notice the obviously dwarven crafted stone room and hear the faint clicking of mechanized contraptions.

Can it be true, are the legends of the Arch-Mage transporting unwilling participants to compete for survival in his maniacal clockwork dungeon possible? In the next room you see some rope and a key…but as you move toward them the room rotates, taking the items away. This is not going to be easy!

Players race to navigate the hazards of Dungeon Twister by using their action points each turn to move, rotate rooms, collect items, and combat opponents. This is a race to victory by surviving and escaping the dungeon first.
