- Kragmortha - NEW GAME - available 19th September 2007 ukL 21.99
there is no way to measure how smart a goblin may be; the question is, do you believe them? is it really possible to slip into Rigor Mortis' Library, steal a Tome of Magic, and slip out again, unnoticed?
is the only risk really a vanishingly small chance that the Dark Overlord will stumble across you, rather than the volume containing the details of an obscure spell, and transfix you with his withering gaze - and cast whatever spell happens to be uppermost in his mind upon you?
are you brave enough to gamble your life [a], to find out?
[a] - or worse
for 2-8 Players, Ages 8-96; no indication of playing time given
- Mr. Jack - NEW GAME - available 19th September 2007 ukL 22.99
1888, and the finest amateur sleuths are flocking to the slums of London's East End, each confident that they will be the one to uncover in the foggy, intermittently gas-lit shadows what Scotland Yard could not - the identity of Jack the Ripper - before that bloody villain vanishes into the shadows and escapes forever
but though deranged, mad-man Jack is no fool, and has chosen the safest place of all to hide...
the wholesalers say for 2 Players, though the synopsis makes it sound like a game for a group of three or more, and Ages 9-96; no indication of playing time given
- The Red Dragon Inn - NEW GAME - in 19th September 2007 ukL 21.99
between you, you've done it! Deidre, the round-heeled, weak-headed (but she packs a mean punch as well; as a full healing kit) Priestess of the Goddess, Gerki, the master lock-pick, poisoner and suspiciously successful card-sharp; Fiona, the striking (in various ways, many of them sharp & edged or pointy) warrior-maiden with a cast-iron constitution - but no head for figures; and Pooky, psychotic, binge-drinking rabbit familiar (with Zot, the bookworm of a wizard, to clear up in Pooky's wake - and incidentally protect the whole party), your adventuring days are over, no more dangerous - or more accurately foolhardy - risks will ever again be required of you - you've survived the Slog through the Endless Dungeons, you've killed All the Monsters and you've looted All their Stuff - you're Set for Life!
but first, a night's rest & relaxation in the local inn for you all - a rave-up in celebration of your success: a little wine or beer (or something stronger?), music & dancers, men & women, and song; and why not a little gambling, to liven up the night?
after all the risks you've taken, and the terrors you've survived, how can this Red Dragon possibly do more than relieve you of a little spare change?
how could anything possibly go wrong with a happy-go-lucky light-hearted celebration in your local?

The Perilous Path to the Crown of Command
"Only One Can Wear It" - though many may try for it; the Crown confers a Deadly Power that is usually enough to ensure the First to Gain It Rules the World
contents: 14 Moulded Plastic Character Pieces, 14 Character, 4 each Talisman, Toad and Alignment Change, 24 Spell, 28 Purchase, & 104 Adventure Game Cards all Full-Colour; Full-Colour, Six-Fold 52.6 x 78.8cm (c. 20.7" x 31") Game Board, 6 x d6, Plastic Craft, Strength, Life & Gold Counters, and the Rules (including a quick-play version)
for 2-6 Players Ages c. 8-96; no information provided by wholesalers as to Playing Time, but i recall games lasting from 30-90 Minutes (sometimes longer)
[as i understand from a review, the ususally (but not always) rather weak final end-game once a player has attained the Crown of Command has not been improved; this is a disappointment, but it is one that can be self-modified to either liven things up, or end games once a player attains - and keeps for a clear round - this achievement. - ppint.]
- Thud: the Discworld Boardgame - second edition RE-STOCK in 22nd August 2007 new in 27th October 2005 ukL 24.99
back in stock after six months or more unavailable!
(this new edition included two alternative sets of rules; the original, and those for the Koom Valley variant, in which the dwarfs are trying to make off with the Thudstone; and introduces the Kings' Game, a test of wits and Thud skills, to see who would have won a legendary game between a dwarf-king and a troll monarch, once it had reached the imminent final scene...)
Based on the shattering battle of the Koom Valley between countless trolls & innumerable dwarfs (well, eight and thirty-two, respectively, in the game, plus the Thudstone, and a spare stone/piece, all lovingly sculpted by Bernard Pearson, the Cunning Artificer indeed); plus the unique 45cm x 45cm (c.18" x 18") Thud Gameboard; Thud Rulebook and Strategy Guide;
"A Head to Head Strategy game for Two Players aged 8 to Adult" "Designed by Trevor Truran and Terry Pratchett"; the new edition's box top uses the excellent cover art from the uk editions of the novel,
Thud!.
This is an excellent and unique boardgame, that i think will appeal to players of chess, draughts ("checkers", for merkins), go & otello or reversi, requiring players learn fairly simple rules for the moves of the two kinds of pieces, the Dwarfs and the Trolls, and then to learn how best to play both; for when the players agree neither side can hope to take a further piece in a reasonable time, the board is set up afresh, and the player who played the Dwarfs now plays the Trolls, and vice-versa. The winner is s/he who scores best over both "halves", and the strategies for the two sides are almost completely different.
Were the satisfyingly chunky pieces felted, they would grace any room in the country upon a craftsman-made wooden - or, even better, slate! - Thud board (the quarter-folded card game board in the set is quite adequate, but not really up to the pieces' standards)
- Tiki Mountain - NEW GAME - available 19th September 2007 ukL 21.99
