Archipelago

Release Date: Nov 2012

$ 79.99

Are you ready to take-on your discovery mission to the archipelago? Each player takes on the role of an explorer and their team, mandated by a European nation to discover, colonize and profit from the archipelagos. These missions are supposed to happen diplomatically, by answering the needs of the local population as much as the regular demands from the continent. You’ll have to respect the archipelago and its natives as otherwise, they’ll begin to revolt and that might end up with a war for independence. That’s not taking into account that among you a separatist and a pacifist might be hidden, who will both tip the scales toward revolt or peace, respectively! Archipelago combines exploration, resource management, optimization, cooperation, strategy, negotiation, corruption, commerce, suspicion, alliances and betrayals, even a hint of investigation!

Features:

• Modular game with vast possibilities.

• A semi-cooperative game by Christophe Boelinger (Dungeon Twister, Earth Reborn).

• The possibility of choosing the length of your game – from 30 minutes to 5 hours.

Article 27

Release Date: Nov 2012

$ 49.95

Your country has chosen you to protect their interests. If that means you have to bend the rules a little bit, well that’s just the cost of justice, right? In Article 27, you assume the role of one of the members of the UN Security Council, which means you wield the power of the veto. No proposal can pass when a member uses their veto, so there had better be something in the deal for you! Negotiations on the proposals can include side-deals, threats, or outright influence-peddling! But once the gavel comes down it’s time to vote, so you better have greased all the right palms with influence or your proposal is sunk! Article 27 requires no knowledge of politics or the UN to enjoy. If you like negotiation games, you’ll love Article 27! Sales Points: • An easy to play, pure negotiation game • Very fast paced, plays in ~6 minutes per player • Awesome components including a huge game board, thick cardboard player mat and player screens, 100s of wood and cardboard tokens, and a real wooden gavel! • Beautiful, colorful and funny cartoony artwork • No knowledge of politics or the UN is required at all!

Now is time to prove what you have told your friends when you all sat around and said you could do it better then the politicians Stronghold Games has done it again and give us all a chance to put our money where are mouths are.
