ISLE OF RECOMMENDATIONS
New games in stock that the staff already love!
|
|
|
 |
D2 says-- Treasure Island caught my eye. One player is Long John Silver and the rest of the players are a mutinous crew. Long John has hidden his treasure on an island and has to keep the crew away from it. It sounds like it has similar mechanics to Whitehall Mysteries just with pirates, and a map players can write on with dry erase markers. It has some neat components players use to figure out where the treasure could be: a drawing compass and a directional compass along with a few other fun items.

FALLOUT: NEW CALIFORNIA EXPANSION
|
Matt says: I've been playing Fallout: New California Expansion. It introduces 5 new characters to play, complete with detailed minis, gear, and abilities to add variety to your team. It also gives players 2 new scenarios pulled from the classic Fallout 2, and provides new, extended maps and scenarios for the original set. One of its coolest features, however, is the New California scenario variant which allows you to play a fully co-op mode with your friends. This feature provides rules that address some of the more common criticisms from the original board game and provides a more fulfilling narrative experience.

|
|
It's time for Illusive's Annual White Elephant Gift Exchange and Potluck, which will be held at Isle of Gamers this year.

(Please google White Elephant if you're unfamiliar with the concept.)
