New Munchkin Expansions

Munchkin: Santa's Revenge

The Munchkin was sleeping all snug in his bed, when Santa came back with a BOOT TO THE HEAD!

Santa's Revenge is a holiday-themed supplement for any Munchkin game. It goes especially well with Waiting for Santa, but you don't need WFS to enjoy Santa's Revenge. It adds Santa monsters like Harold Angel (as in, HARK!) and the Anti-Clause. And it gives you new things to hit those monsters with, from Snowballs to the North Pole. And the new Armor is Christmas Wrapping. John Kovalic had fun drawing this one. (Actually, he had fun with them all. You can tell by looking. You'll have fun too.)

This is an expansion for Munchkin, not a stand-alone set. Santa's Revenge is not collectible or randomized; every pack is the same as every other.


Available now at BGGs at $7 per set.

Munchkin Marked for Death is a double-duty booster set! This pack contains 17 all-new cards, including Anvil, Recalculate Your XP, and the horrifying effervescence of the Soap Golem . . . plus two almost-new cards. And they're balanced to let you use them as a quick rigged demo for your friends, to get them into the madness that is Munchkin!

Available now at BGGs at $7 per set.


Munchkin came out in 2001. Since then, we've published eight more core games and over a dozen expansion sets. We've learned a lot in the last nine years, and new printings of Munchkin and its sequels will change some cards for clarity or balance.

But we don't expect our fans to buy their Munchkin collection all over again. Instead, we created Munchkin: Go Up a Level. This box contains 132 updated cards. They span every Munchkin set except Munchkin 6 – Demented Dungeons, Munchkin Dice, and the Fairy Dust and Waiting for Santa boosters . . . none of which needs any updating.

Available now at BGGs at $16 per set!

Introducing Agricola: The Goodies Expansion

Agricola: The Goodies Expansion is the 2nd Full Sized expansion for Agricola.


From Lookout Games:
This is not a complete game. You need AGRICOLA to play this expansion set.

Over the past years, many small expansions for Agricola were released, mostly in German language. Lookout Games, the publisher, also introduced deluxe wooden pieces to complement the game. The Goodies Expansion contains:
  • Agricola X-Deck -- 24 cards with alien encounters all over the farm. Every time a player visits a stone quarry, a card is drawn from the pile. And then? Resistance is futile!
  • Agricola Ö-Deck -- 12 new Occupations and 12 new Minor Improvements including a wunderkind, the guy with the couch, the singing family from the Alps, and of course that one specific Governor.
  • Agricola CZ-Deck -- 12 Occupations and 12 Improvements. Based on famous people, places, and historic events from the Czech Republic. Illustrated in the spirit of the artist Josef Lada, this expansion was initiated by the Czech Publisher of Agricola-Mindok.
  • Agricola L-Deck -- Nobody knows exactly what the L stands for. Some tend to believe Lookout, others insist on Looneys. Decide for yourself; but don't take it too serious.
  • 5 double-sided theme boards -- Western, Spring, Autumn, Winter, and Mars.
  • Sticker Sheet (70 stickers) -- 35 adults, 33 children, 1 alien, and 1 werewolf.
  • Wooden Meeples -- Veggiemeeples, Animeeples, and Resourceeples.
Since these items have been generally available in Germany, Agricola: The Goodies will be released only in English and Spanish.

Available now at BGGs at $75 per set!

Introducing Fictionaire, the new party card game from Days of Wonder

Fictionaire Game Series
The Quiz Game with a Whiff of Truth!

[Fic•tion•aire: Person who tricks opponents into choosing the wrong word definition in the dictionary game.]

You may know it as dictionary, fictionary... or even "Call my Bluff", the classic British TV game show; but it could just as easily be called "the making up lies to fool your friends" game!

Fictionaire is a new quiz card game from Days of Wonder that gives a fresh twist to this classic genre.

The Fictionaire Game Series includes 4 differently themed card packs, each with 120 thought provoking questions.

Fictionaire is a new quiz card game based on the classic game of dictionary. Players make up a bogus definition or fake answer for a word or question

What makes Fictionaire such timeless fun is the combination of creative storytelling, trivia knowledge and bluffing skills.

To earn points in Fictionaire, players either have to choose the right definition - or get someone to pick their answer. Even better, if a player bluffs someone into choosing the wrong answer, they earn a bonus point.

The Fictionaire Game Series includes 4 differently themed card packs, each with 120 thought provoking questions. The first pack is called Classic Fictionaire, and is closest to the traditional dictionary game. It includes rare, interesting and sometimes provocative words, all begging for a creative definition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fictionaire comes in a unique, eye-catching cigarette pack style format. Why a package design that is so non-PC? It turns out that a cigarette pack is a perfect solution to help the game play better. The flip-top design reveals only the question section of a card to the starting player. Once she reads the question it is given to others who then slide out the card to view the correct answer before creating

Introducing Dungeon Lords! by Zman Games


They meet in a tavern. They quaff a few ales. Before the night is over, the strong warrior, the wily wizard, the committed priest and the sneaky thief form an inseparable party of adventurers, ready to rid the world of evil. And wouldn’t you know it? There just happens to be some evil within easy walking distance. A dark lord has filled a nearby hill with tunnels, traps, treasure, and trolls. And so the next morning (or the next afternoon if too many ales were quaffed) the heroes set out to fight for Right, conquer the dungeon, and punish the wicked lord (by taking all his treasure, of course). It’s a classic scenario, and any veteran dungeon crawler will tell you that’s the way things ought to be.

But what about that dark lord? Does anyone ever think about his feelings? Those adventurers, who have never done an honest day’s work in their lives, can not begin to imagine how much effort goes into building a respectable dungeon. They have no idea how hard it is to tunnel through granite, how expensive good traps are these days, how difficult it is to find qualified imps, or how

much food it takes to feed a troll. And the bureaucracy! Dungeons must meet rigid safety specifi cations, gold mining is subject to strict regulations, and taxes are due whenever the Ministry of Dungeons feels like it. And as soon as the dungeon is built, some band of do-gooders comes along and hacks everything up. Life is not easy for a dungeon lord.

The Board



Contents: 1 Central board, 1 Distant Lands board, 1 Progress board, 4 Dungeon boards, 85+ cards, ~40 imp figures, lots of monster(or ghost), room, adventurer, paladin, event, tunnel, item tiles, 48 wooden minion figures, lots of tokens and counters, and rules


No. of players: 2-4

Ages: 12+

Playing time: 120 minutes
 
Price: SGD $92
