Dominion: Dark Ages

Times have been hard. To save on money, you've moved out of your old castle, and into a luxurious ravine. You did not like that castle anyway; it was always getting looted, and never at a reasonable hour. And if it wasn't barbarians it was the plague, or sometimes both would come at once, and there wouldn't be enough chairs. The ravine is great; you get lots of sun, and you can just drop garbage wherever you want. In your free time you've taken up begging. Begging is brilliant conceptually, but tricky in practice, since no-one has any money. You beg twigs from the villagers, and they beg them back, but no-one really seems to come out ahead. That is just how life is sometimes. You are quietly conquering people, minding your own business, when suddenly there's a plague, or barbarians, or everyone's illiterate, and it's all you can do to cling to some wreckage as the storm passes through. Still, you are sure that, as always, you will triumph over this adversity or at least do slightly better than everyone else.

This is the 7th addition to the game of Dominion. It is 500 cards but is not a standalone. It adds 35 new Kingdom cards to Dominion, plus new bad cards you give to other players (Ruins), new cards to replace starting Estates (Shelters), and cards you can only get via specific other cards. The central themes are the trash and upgrading. There are cards that do something when trashed, cards that are about the trash, cards that upgrade themselves, and ways to upgrade other cards.

Contents:

• 500 cards
• storage tray
• rule booklet

Leviathans

In 1878 the Polish genius Rynchowski isolated an electrical fluid with remarkable lifting capabilities. This single, pivotal event would change the world.

The smartest military minds of the coming generation - Zeppelin, Jellico, Fisher and others - diverted their attention to the glorious new technological revolution, and sea-going battleships were abandoned around the world. In their place, armoured giants took to the skies.

In 1906, Great Britain launched the HMS Leviathan, the first of the "super air ships," another step in the worldwide arms race.

By 1910, the most powerful nations boasted large High Fleets, and the start of small skirmishes left the world uneasy.. welcome to Leviathans!"

Leviathans simulates combat between warships that have taken to the air in an alternative history/steampunk 1910. The king leviathans, battleships, are the largest vessels. Maneuvering in support are light cruises, destroyers and other vessels. Will you captain your fleet for king and country, expanding your nations power and becoming legend? Or will you fall from the sky, forgotten?

YOU DETERMINE THE OUTCOME!

This box includes:

• 2 rulebooks to take players from the quick-start rules to the core rules
• 8 high-quality, 1200-scale plastic ship miniatures
• 12 Ship Cards
• 12 full-colour Recognition Cards

Against the Odds: Defeat into Victory

It was the theatre hardly anyone talked about then... or later. The lowest name on the "list" for supplies and troops. But success there changed the decades that followed World War II.

For much of 1943 and early 1944 the fighting in Burma was relegated to WWII's backwater by both sides. With the end of the monsoon season in early 1944 the strategic situation had changed. Japanese fortunes had declined precipitously elsewhere, but determined to pre-empt any Allied attack out of India, the Japanese launched an offensive of their own in May, the largest they ever undertook outside of China. The battles that raged among the jungles and mountainous hillsides of the Indian and Burma frontier, and the subsequent Allied victory that followed in July, marked a fundamental and permanent shift in the war.

The Allied offensive in March 1945 was one marked by extensive planning and preparation, as well bold and daring maneuvers crushing the defending Imperial Japanese Burma Area Army.

Defeat into Victory covers this neglected aspect of WWII history using a very interactive and easy to play (chit-pull activation system) design. Rules cover supply (a crucial aspect in some of the most inhospitable terrain of the war) and combat, as well as morale and leadership, random events (that simulate the effects of battles and decisions by higher-ups elsewhere), weather, Japanese suicide tank attacks (human combat destruction squads), and changing war goals.

Scenarios include the initial Japanese 1944 springtime trust into India, another on the 1945 Allied counteroffensive, as well as the Campaign Game. Tough decisions will have to be made by both sides as they allocate precious resources among their formations, determine their enemy's intentions and balance their plans, as well as attack and defend.
