Use the map of Europe's lower Rhine and Ruhr region when playing a 4- or 5-player game. You can play Steam on any number of current and future variant and expansion maps, so we include pieces for 6 players. Steam is the culmination of Martin Wallace's classic railroad game series.

New Game Preview: Galaxy Trucker

Rio Grande Games recently released Galaxy Trucker, a much sought after game which has being out of stock for some time! Here is more information on it: Corporation Incorporated is an interplanetary construction firm that buildssewer systems and low-income housing on the less-developed planets of the Galaxy. For years, Corp Inc. has tottered on the brink of bankruptcy: transporting building materials to the edge of the Galaxy, where the need for their services is greatest, is a risky business. The company was saved by a few visionaries on the board of directors. Instead of shipping materials to the Periphery, they reasoned, why not build the materials into spacecraft and let them ship themselves? Furthermore, why hire pilots if there are nut-cases who will do it for free?That’s where you come in. Just sign the contract, and you gain unrestricted access to a Corp Inc. Warehouse. Build your own space ship from the available prefabricated components, and fly it to the Periphery. Of course, you may have to eat a loss, but any profi ts you make along the way are yours to keep, and Corporation Incorporated will pay you a bonus for quick delivery.It’s possible that you will end up with an insurmountable debt and fi nish your days panhandling on the streets of Deneb III, but if Lady Luck should smile upon you, you just might find yourself among the 10 billion richest people in the Galaxy!

Ages: 12+ Playing time: 60 minutes Price: $79.90 SGD Info from BoardGameGeek "This is a negotiation game in the truest sense of the word. In it, players acquire ownership of sections of city blocks then place tiles, representing businesses, onto the block-sections. At the end of each turn, each tile you've laid gives you some sort of payout, but completed businesses (formed of three to six connected tiles of the same type) pay quite a bit better. All these resources are dealt to the players randomly, however, so players must trade to get matching businesses and adjacent locations." This game is #2 in the Alea big box series. Awards: 2008 Årets Familiespill (Family Game of the Year, Norway) Nominee. 1999 Spiel des Jahres Recommendation. New stock will arrive at Budget Board Games in 2 weeks time.

New Game Intro: Shadow Hunters

"Shadow Hunters" is a survival board game where three groups of characters, "Shadow (Monster like a Vampire)" "Hunter (exorcists)" and "Neutral (ordinary human)" struggle against each other to survive.

(http://www.zmangames.com/boardgames/shadow_hunters.htm)

The story takes place in a forest of devildom.You assume one of the three groups of characters concealing your identity from others' judgment.

Identify!

You are a Shadow, a creature of the night, or a Hunter, a human whose job is to destroy supernatural creatures, or a civilian, a normal human just caught in the middle of this ancient battle. But your identity remains secret until someone outs you through your actions and through Hermit cards or you reveal yourself to use your special ability. The key to victory is to identify your allies and enemies early.

Survival!

Once your identity is revealed, your enemies will attack without impunity using their special abilities like Demolish, Teleport, and Suck Blood or equipment cards such as the Rusty Broad Ax or Fortune Brooch. This ancient battle comes to a head and only one group will stand victorious – or a civilian, in the right circumstances, might claim victory.

The Components:

1 Game board - functions both as a battleground where the characters duke it out and a HP track to indicate the health of each character.

6 Area Cards – each card has a number (or two) and its own special functions 10 Character Cards – in 3 different fractions: Hunter, Shadow and Neutral

16 Hermit Cards – help you to ‘guess’ the identity of another player

16 White Cards/ 16 Black Cards – provide you with an assortment of “Equipment” and “Single-Use” cards to aid you or hinder you in combat and survival.

16 Wooden Marker – come in 8 colored-pair, one serving as the “Player Piece” on the battleground area and the other as the “HP Piece” on the HP track.

8 Player Card – come in corresponding colors with the wooden markers

1 4-side Dice/ 1 6-sided Dice – use for movement and combat

This new game uses mechanics similar to "Citadels" , "Bang!" and "Munchkin". A good new addition to the "Hidden Identity" genre of games which caters to a large group of 4 to 8 players!
