Probabil primul meu "Preorder" de la GMT, un joc pe care il astept de cand eram mic si ma jucam cu cowboys si indieni din plastic.

Navajo Wars

from http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/1034290

De pe site-ul GMT :

NAVAJO WARS is a solitaire game which covers one of the longest struggles waged on the North American continent. From the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in 1595 until Colonel Christopher “Kit” Carson’s brutal Navajo Campaign of 1863, the Diné — the Navajo — fought to preserve their way of life.

In NAVAJO WARS, you the player must use skillful planning and cunning against a constantly changing and aggressive enemy. NAVAJO WARS uses a unique mix of cards and an enemy instruction matrix to drive the actions of the enemy. More than just chart-checking and die-rolling, in NAVAJO WARS, the player has to make lots of meaningful decisions in order to win.

To keep the enemy at bay, you must use skillful planning to build up your tribe’s population. You must attack enemy outposts, and raid enemy settlements. You will need to plant and harvest corn, and develop herds of sheep as well as horses in order to survive the slow desertification of the American Southwest. You will need the wisdom of your tribe’s elders to guide your people through treacherous times. You need to develop your tribe’s culture to survive the influences of an alien civilization set out to subjugate you.

Along the way, the Ute, Comanche, and Apache tribes will ally with the colonists of New Mexico against you! You’ll also face intermittent wars with the Hopi and Zuni Pueblo tribes! You’ll face off against the Spanish, Mexicans, and Americans in an epic struggle for survival.

NAVAJO WARS has 3 scenarios, each of which can be played in 1-2 hours, and one short scenario which can be played in 30 minutes or less:

Los Dueños Del Mundo (“the lords of the earth”) is the Spanish period of the game in which the player must guide the Navajos to a position of strength. Historically, the Navajo reached their zenith of power during the time period of this scenario (1595-1821).
A Broken Country is the Mexican period of the game. This enemy is more dangerous, more persistent. This period of the game is a slugging match between two powerful forces. Historically, the Navajo war with the Mexicans contributed to the success of the US Army of the West which invaded New Mexico in 1846 during the Mexican War.
The Fearing Time is the American period of the game. Historically, the Navajo were brutally subjugated in 1864 after Kit Carson’s campaign into the Dinétah. The Navajo were subsequently removed from their land and led on a brutal forced march to Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico Territory. Over 500 people died on “the Long Walk.” You, the player, must avoid this fate!
The Devil Has Come to Canyon de Chelly is a short scenario which takes place at the very end of the American period of the game. Historically, the American Civil War impacted and was impacted by the Navajo War in the Department of New Mexico. In this scenario, the player will face off with the American Army in a final showdown.
For players desiring a very rich and rewarding gaming experience, NAVAJO WARS contains a Grand Campaign: The Longest War is a Grand Campaign which encompasses the Spanish, Mexican, and American historical periods. Guide your tribe from its first contact with Europeans until its final showdown with the American Army! Will you take your tribe in a more warlike direction? Or will you make use of shrewd diplomacy to achieve your goals? The choice is yours!

Although NAVAJO WARS has been designed from the beginning as a Solitaire Game, the game does include two ways to play with TWO-Players: First, two players can play the game cooperatively, with both players discussing their options and making decisions together.

For players wanting a more competitive game, NAVAJO WARS includes an innovative semi-cooperative variant. In this variant, both players must work together because if the Tribe is defeated, they BOTH lose! Nevertheless, only ONE player can win! To win, each player attempts to establish his influence over the tribe. Throughout the game, players must balance what’s best for them against what’s best for the tribe as a whole. This makes for a very tense (and historically accurate) gaming experience!

3 six-sided dice
1 22x34” cardboard map

"Apple pentru boardgames" (FFG) a mai dat niste detalii din casa referitor la Rex: Final days of an Empire, reimplementare a jocului Dune.

The Age of Twilight began with a small conflict over the Quann passage. What then seemed a minor dispute was to become the first drop in the flood of war. From Quann, a thousand skirmishes and disputes quickly erupted across the galaxy. The ruling Lazax desperately sought to maintain their disintegrating imperial authority, disbursing their forces far and wide. It was all in vain. Centuries-old secret ambitions and ancient grudges had finally found their outlet, as race rose up against race in the name of sovereignty, rebellion, and self-defense.

The final days of the Lazax Empire began in the seventy-third year of the Twilight Wars, when without warning, the Federation of Sol led a deadly assault directly on Mecatol Rex, the capital planet the empire itself. A climactic struggle for control of the imperial city followed, fought as much with diplomacy and deception as with troops and starships.

This is the story of that struggle.

Rex: Final Days of an Empire is a board game of negotiation, betrayal, and warfare in which three to six players take control of great interstellar civilizations, competing for dominance of the galaxy’s capital city. Set 3,000 years before the events of Twilight Imperium, Rex tells the story of the last days of the Lazax Empire, while presenting players with compelling asymmetrical racial abilities and a myriad of opportunities for diplomacy and deception.

Mai multe detalii aici. Hai cu wishlistatu'!

As vrea sa subliniez ca Rex: Final Days of an Empire nu este o reimplementare a Dune, ci doar utilizeaza cateva dintre mecanismele de baza ale jocului din urma, in frunte cu "Simultaneous Dial Based Order System". FFG detin dreptul de a utiliza aceasta mecanica si pentru ca nu au putut obtine si licenta pentru Dune, s-au decis sa foloseasca proprietatea lor (n.r. mecanica) intr-un joc pe care l-au plasat in universul Twilight Imperium. Asa ca sa nu va asteptati la furtuni coriolis, echivalentul cartilor de tradare sau mirodenie (desi d'astea m-astept sa gasim) si nici la vre-un substituent pentru cuvele axlotl...

In alta ordine de idei, cea a vacilor de muls, iata ca la editia din acest an a targului de la Essen vom primi o a 6-a ( ) extensie pentru Dominion, care se numeste Hinterlands.

Ca sa nu va obosesc cu povestea care o sa fie pe spatele cutiei, am sa mentionez ca ideea acestei extensii este introducerea unor carti (29 la numar - 20 de actiuni, 3 comori, 3 carti de victorie si 3 carti de reactie) care sa aiba un efect imediat atunci cand sunt obtinute (indiferent de metoda).

Si ca sa va si rasfat putin, iata cum va arata cutia acestei extensii:

[VickdaReaper]

Raman tot la categoria "extensii" si va prezint cea de-a doua extensie ce sta sa fie lansata pentru jocul Mansions of Madness. Aceasta poarta numele de MoM: The Silver Tablet, este creata, ca si prima extensie, pe principiul Print on Demand si ofera un nou scenariu de joc, in care jucatorii vor incerca sa recupereze tableta argintie, cea care a disparut o data cu profesorul Wolcott (cum? nu stiti cine e tov. prof. Wolcott? RU-SI-NI-CA!!) si sa dezlege misterul din spatele intregii povesti. Si ca un mic avertizment: jocul se anunta (cel putin pe BGG) ca fiind pentru 2 jucatori, spre deosebire de "clasicul" 2-5 mentionat de jocul de baza, precum si de prima extensie.

P.S. Nu stiu de ce, dar nu reusesc sa pun poza coeprtii...

[DanielIndru]

Unele imagini de pe BGG sunt uploaded ca PNG, nu JPG, si atunci forumul nostru nu le "vede" corect.
In cazuri de-astea eu pun link catre joc si link direct catre poza cu tags aferente:

Avantajul PNG fatza de JPG e ca la PNG se poate pune background invizibil astfel ca se vede numai conturul obiectului din fotografie. Si arata intr-adevar bine.

jesus, Dominion devine un fel de Harry Potter

cutia arata bine, intr-adevar, aspectul e un punct forte al acestui joc.

Tot din categoria "Brand New", va prezint urmatorul mix intre doua jocuri clasice, si anume Stone Age si Power Grid. Rezultatul este urmatorul:

from http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/1077748

Funkenschlag: Die Erseten Funken, adica "prima scanteie", este o transpunere a mecanicilor de joc din Power Grid in epoca de piatra. Astfel, nu veti mai construi un imperiu energetic, ci va veti conduce tribul catre prosperitate si supravietuire. Scopul vostru va fi sa alegeti cele mai bune tehnologii (se poate spune astfel despre ceva din epoca oamenilor primitivi??), sa descoperiti si sa stapaniti focul si sa vanati in cele mai bune terenuri de vanatoare pentru ca tribul vostru sa fie cel mai dezvoltat, bine hranit si numeros.

Au aparut si regulile pentru Ghost Stories: Black Secret aici.

Wings of War de la Nexus Games va deveni Wings of Glory de la Ares Games. Ares a anuntat ca va lansa un nou starter set cu noi miniaturi si reguli imbunatatite, dar compatibile cu toate seturile Wings of War lansate pana in prezent.

Mai avem regulile de la Panic Station aici.

Pentru fanii care il indragesc pentru Dominion si nu doar pentru ei, Donald X. Vaccarino va lansa Kingdom Builder la Essen sub aripa Queen Games.

Si o poza, ca fara e cam sec

[singerete]

Asta ultimul il vreau si eu. Il pun pe wishlist

[adrim]

Da, Kingdom Builder are premise bune. Pacat ca i-au dat numele asta sec si neprietenos ... "Jucam un Kingdom Builder?" - suna ca naiba.

[imba]

Nu stiu de voi, dar eu vreau Panic Station. Si nici Black Secret nu suna rau.

Daca tot a fost ales cel mai cel de catre noi, nenea Vlaada (Vladimír) Chvátil anunta un nou joc la Essen: Mage Knight

The WizKids Mageknight board games puts an entirely new spin on the traditional Deck Building game by framing it in an epic RPG-esque experience. Dubbed "Deck building with a purpose", the Mageknight board game puts you in control of one of four powerful Mageknights as you explore (and conquer) a corner of the Mageknight universe under the control of the Atlantean Empire. Build your army, fill your deck with powerful spells and actions, explore caves and dungeons, and eventually conquer powerful cities controlled by this once-great faction! You will not be the only Mageknight traveling the land (unless you are playing by yourself!), and though opposing Mageknights may be powerful allies, only one will be able to claim the land as their own at the end of each campaign.

O poza de udat apetitul

[DanielIndru]

Pare-se ca va fi un Thunderstone cu bataie intre jucatori. Sweeet.

[suf]

Haha Vlaada is a must. Sunt curios daca deck-buildingul lui are ceva special, ca imitatii se gasesc peste tot

[singerete]

Iata si un preview al jocurilor care vor aparea in cadrul Essen 2011. Multe jocuri, unele interesante, altele mneaa. Oricum jocuri noi scot capul la lumina zilei.

Preview Spiel 2011

[suf]

Mda, din pacate multe jocuri nu apar inca in lista.

[VickdaReaper]

Dupa cum se preconiza ca se va intampla, iata ca spre sfarsitul anului va aparea primul Deluxe espansion pentru hit-ul TLotR LCG, care se va numi... Khazad-dum.

from http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/1088946

Dupa cum spune si numele acestei extensii, povestea va continua in aduncurile minelor Moriei si va fi aduce 3 noi aventuri numai bune de incercat, precum si multe carti noi pentru cele 4 clase existente in joc. Totusi, fiind ca vorbim de minele dwarfilor, cei mai fericiti de aparitia acestei extensii vor fi tocmai dwarfii, care vor beneficia de anumite carti favorabile, precum si de noi frati de arme, printre care 2 eroi noi-nouti. Asta nu inseamna insa ca celelalte sfere vor fi neglijate...

Ceea ce ar mai fi de retinut este faptul ca urmatorul ciclu de Adventure Packs, numit Dwarrowdelf Cycle, va fi dependent de cartile de intalnire (n.r. encounter) ce vor fi introduse in aceasta extensie. Dar mai avem pana acolo, asa ca nu trebuie sa ne agitam, nu?
