This volume answers those questions and more. It tracks Traveller from its inspirations in the early ’70s, though its initial publication, and across seven distinct editions of its original 2d6 gaming system. It reveals the stories of Traveller’s three major publishers; GDW, Imperium Games, and Mongoose, as well many licensees. Most importantly, it tells how Traveller fell into increasing darkness before descending into a Long Night, and how it rose again as a phoenix.

From the author of Designers & Dragons, which told the story of the entire roleplaying industry, comes the intimate history of a single roleplaying game, culled from hundreds of primary sources and interviews.

Paranoia: Mandatory Fun + complimentary PDF

You know what pisses off rich people (besides poor people that is)? Not having enough to buy. What is the use of a fat bank account when you cannot buy very expensive items to show your wealth off to others?

That’s why citizen Gene-I-JRD thumbed through some Pre-Whoops economic textbooks and implemented a new product: Financial investments. Now, the obscenely rich can lend their XP Points to others for a project. Too bad that Indigo citizen hired Troubleshooters to serve as middle management in this new company.

Mandatory Fun is a new mission for Paranoia that satirises corporations, including the relentless drive for profits, efficiency, cost-cutting, and mandatory fun like birthday parties. (Decanting Day parties in Alpha Complex.) Players get to run a presentation to people who could easily kill them; translate a memo from corporate buzzwords to plain English; and explain to an Indigo citizen why they lost all their money. Yep, that will go over well.

And in this mission, firing someone is literal.

In this hot little book, Paranoia GMs can find five missions, ready to go, including…

Certifiable: Your Troubleshooters already took and passed the Troubleshooter Certification Exam, right? RIGHT??
In the Clouds: Virtual Troubleshooters going after decidedly not-virtual treason. Think Tron with a higher body count.
Meet ‘n’ Greet: People should not fear Troubleshooters, so it is time to force the public into liking them, or else. That will work!
Stealth Train Redux: One of the best missions of all time is back! How can you protect a train that does not exist? Or maybe it does?
Viva VEG Sector: Free Enterprise opens a casino with all the tropes and sarcasm you would expect. An albino tiger may or may not be involved.

Five missions. One book. And more catch-22s than you can shake a depleted laser pistol at. Welcome to Brave New Missions: Something Satiric This Way Comes.

Oh, and players can buy this book, but must not read it or you will ruin the fun!

Roaring 20s

2024-10-17T09:05:26+01:00

Vendor: Pegasus Spiele
Type: Board & Card Games
Price: 9.99

For 3-5 players, ages 8+, playing time is around 20-30 minutes.

Welcome to the Roaring 20s, when you will try to attract the trendiest dinos to your glamorous party.

Each round, you bid on a dino or pass. As every dino has different preferences, you need either the right snacks to lure it or splendid gems to bribe it. If you want to jump out of the bidding, place your "Mine!" card on one of the bid cards available; the earlier you pass, the more choices you have. Whoever sticks in the bidding long enough wins the dino, then they decide whether to pay with snacks or gems, with no change if you overpay.

Your goal is to have the most points at game's end. Each dino is worth 1-5 points on its own, with pairs and triplets being worth 3 and 6 points. That said, you can choose to discard an acquired dino if it's a duplicate in order to transform your "Mine!" card into a joker. Why would you want to do that? Because sequences of dinos are also worth points, with six in a row being worth 15 points, for example.

If you make clever bids, occasionally pass at the right moment, and get the most valuable guests, you’ll be crowned the ultimate prehistoric party animal!

Bomb Busters

2024-10-17T08:58:23+01:00

Vendor: Pegasus Spiele
Type: Board & Card Games
Price: 31.99

For 2-5 players, ages 10+, playing time is around 30 minutes.

There is a bomb full of wires and the countdown has started... Who are you gonna call? YOU, the Bomb Busters!

To clear the bomb, you need to collaborate with your team of bomb disposal experts! Using the wires on the tile holder in front of you, try and figure out your teammates’ wires. Find and cut identical wires, but watch out, if you cut a red wire: BOOM! Use your equipment wisely to meet the varied challenges which get harder and harder. Tick tock tick tock... Will you figure it out before it’s too late?

With 66 missions, there will be:
=> 66 different ways to play depending on your moods (in order, by level of difficulty, favourite configuration…)
=> 66 challenges to play over and over (even if you already blew your top!)
=> Plenty of tricky bombs which become more and more dangerous (but don’t get cut up about it!)

Gameplay
There is a set of 48 normal wires numbered 1-12 (4 of each value). Then, you add some yellow and red wires and deal them all to the players.
Each mission is different, but your goal is always the same: go through all 12 numbers without blowing up!

The players place the tiles on their stands and then take turns pointing at each others’ wires and guessing their values. If the guess is correct, the wires are cut. If not — the detonator advances! If you manage to cut all wires without blowing up — good job, the mission is completed, but if the bomb goes off... Try again!

For 1-4 players, ages 14+, playing time is around 90-180 minutes.

Hello, student beings! The cosmic faculty of the Technical Academy of Creation is delighted to welcome you to your Civolution, the final exam in Civilization Design!

For this occasion, we prepared a humanoid scenario on an isolated continent. Here, each of you holds the rank of a local deity which is closely linked to its very own civilization and must lead it to success over the other civilizations. Your developmental possibilities are endless and reach from cultural and technical progress to evolutional adaptations. For example, what would you consider more beneficial to your tribes: inventing the wheel or growing wings? Demonstrate your ability to operate your civilization console and show us how well you can adjust to changeable environmental conditions and mild creational chaos.

When the exam ceases after four eras, whoever managed to gather the most success points will not only pass the exam but will become a full member of the Technical Academy of Creation and garner the opportunity to be promoted to the next instance.

Civolution is a medium heavy to heavy euro-style game that utilizes a dice selection mechanism to trigger actions on a tech tree-like structure. As you figure out how to best use your dice and put your unique cards into play, tons of strategies and paths to victory emerge, though each time you play, you will only explore a fraction of the possibilities that the game’s system and many cards provide.

Vendor: Pegasus Spiele
Type: Board & Card Games
Price: 36.50

For 2-4 players, ages 10+, playing time is around 40-60 minutes.

For countless years, the Café de Paris has offered moments of carefree relaxation and a wonderful opportunity to pause and breathe amid a bustling city. Unfortunately, the café must close for emergency renovation to ensure that it continues to attract numerous guests.

In Intarsia, players compete for the contract for the coveted redesign work on the parquet, embellishing it with stylish intarsias. To win the contract, players have to prove their skills by refining the floor with stylish inlays and outdoing their competitors with new tools.

Each floor ornament can consist of one to four filigree wooden elements that are puzzled together from the outside inwards. The more pieces the ornament consists of, the more victory points it scores! During the building phase, wooden elements can be paid for with material cards and built according to the building rules. Whoever fulfills the requirement for a tool receives the tile that scores points. Only the person with the best building skills can secure the contract and give the café a new lease of life!

The B-side of the floor plan offers variation for this clever and high-quality placement game.

Some card texts give specific instructions. These always take priority over the game instructions.

Grove: 9 card solitaire game

Vendor: Side Room Games
Type: Board & Card Games
Price: 14.99

For 1 player, ages 8+, playing time is around 5-10 minutes.

Grove is the citrusy sequel to the award winning Orchard 9 card solitaire game.
Its 18 cards feature orange, lemon and lime trees and a new 'wild card' element, glades. These open spaces without trees, combined with a new scoring mechanic, offer more ways and opportunities to increase your harvest and create a greater variety of gameplay and strategies compared to Orchard.
You'll also find a cheeky squirrrel, who can either help or hinder your fruit picking, as well as a wheelbarrow - useful if you manage to get an extra large haul.

The card backs feature recipe challenges with various scoring conditions and target scores. These provide a win/lose condition (as an alternative to the standard game's ‘beat your score’) for those that prefer it - and add even more variety to the game.
