si revenim la intrebarea noastra, legata de cutiile jocurilor: de ce e doamna aceea suparata/dezgustata de masina cu pricina?

She's not agile enough AM I RITE?


Anyone? No? :< Sorry...

Ce ti-e si cu programatorii astia... scrum.

Pentru wargamers:

Gothic Invasion is a card driven war game depicting the Gothic Wars from 377 to 382 A.D. Each player takes the roles of the Goth generals (Fritigern, Alatheus and Saphrax) and the Roman generals (Valens, Theodosius I, Gratian and Flavius Richomeres).
The Goth's player objective is to plunder nine cities of the East Roman empire between 377-382 A.D. while the Roman player must defend the imperial cities and slow them down as best as he can until the spring of 382 A.D.

Its a 'cat and mouse' tactical defensive game from the Roman point of view while from the Gothic side is a 'race against time' aggressive war.

Nu m-a atras nici tema din Star Wars, nici cea din Star Trek, dar de data asta s-ar putea sa ma arunc - chiar si numai pentru minuaturile minunate:

Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing uses the core rule set of the FlightPath game system seen previously in Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Trek: Attack Wing, but with a Dungeons & Dragons twist as the players now control dogfighting dragons, while also having forces on the ground such as giants and magic users. As with Star Trek: Attack Wing, the Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing game series consists of a starter set and expansion packs.

The Dungeons & Dragons: Attack Wing – Starter Set includes three pre-painted dragons, maneuver dials, and upgrade cards and tokens.

Un nou joc semnat de Martin Wallace va vedea lumina zilei in 2014 - alaturi de Ships si Mythotopia.

Onward to Venus is based on the Doctor Grordbort graphic novels from writer/artist Greg Broadmore, with those books being a parody of sorts of the British Empire in the late 19th century, but instead of the race for Africa, we now have the exploitation of the Solar System, which is populated by various natives who resent the Earthling settlers.

The game Onward to Venus takes lots of artwork from the books and mixes it together to create an empire-building game set in the Solar System. The core rules are fairly straightforward, and a game can be completed in 90 minutes. The game is played over three turns; in each turn you whizz around the planets and moons claiming tiles. The tiles grant you cards, allow you to build a factory or mine, let you hunt strange beasts, or simply earn you some money. Other tiles allow you to attack other players or add to the crisis level on the planet/moon in question. You have to be careful with crisis tiles as if you let too many build up, bad stuff — Martian invasions, robot rebellions, space pirates, etc. — starts happening.

Noul joc de la What's Your Game ilustrat de Mariano Iannelli - care s-a ocupat si de Vinhos, Madeira, Vasco da Gama, Asgard.

Between 230 and 221 B.C., the ambitious and extremely young king of Qin, Ying Zheng, unified China, adding all the other so-called Warring States (ZhanGuo) to his empire. Through this, Ying Zheng became the first emperor in Chinese history, taking the title of Qin Shi Huang Di.

Plenty of things had to change in order to make the Chinese empire whole, and Qin Shi Huang Di didn't waste any time. He divided the empire into prefectures, personally appointing central and local functionaries; afterward, he decreed that the same writing symbols had to be used throughout the entire nation. Furthermore, he unified the laws and the units of measure, particularly the currency, creating amazing conditions for the economic development and growth of the empire.

Internal decisions were not the only things that shaped this new unified nation. From the North, the menace of the Hsiungnu barbarians kept shaking the empire, and Qin Shi Huang Di knew that the only way to stop that menace was to build one of the most ambitious buildings in human history: The Great Wall of China. Thousands of peasants left their fields to take part in the construction, not only of the Great Wall, but also of roads, channels, palaces, and majestic buildings that included the emperor's mausoleum with the Terracotta Army.

In ZhanGuo, you are the emperor's emissaries, and you have been assigned the challenging task of contributing to the process of unifying the empire, helping to build the wall, the Terracotta Army, and all infrastructures needed. During the five rounds of the game, you must make the best of the few cards you get each round. You can play each card either on your own player board to increase your personal power in the empire, or on the game board to recruit manpower, construct buildings wanted by the emperor, call reinforcements from Qin, and move the armies from kingdom to kingdom.

Each player has to choose the best time and best way to play his cards in order to earn the emperor’s favors. Careful, though, because trying to get too much power, or exploiting the workers for personal gain could increase dissatisfaction among the populace, and consequently increase the risk of uprisings in the newly added kingdoms. Whoever is able to make the greatest contribution to the emperor's cause, while at the same time keeping the citizens placid, will be the winner.

Jocul s-a numit initial Ascendancy si vrea sa fie publicat de vreo 4 ani - exista chiar si pe forum o referinta cum ca ar apare in 2010: http://forumboardgames.ro/viewtopic.php ... dancy#p466
Apoi i-au schimbat numele in Omega Centauri, dar nu i-a purtat noroc.
Acum avem o versiune a cutiei care sper sa fie finala:

Two millennia ago a loose federation of planets combined to form the Galactic Empire. From that small beginning, the Empire ruthlessly expanded - enslaving or exiling all races that were a threat to their dominion. Recently, the Empire has suffered revolts from conquered races, and on the barren galactic rim, the exiled races gather their forces to strike at the weakened Empire. As the Empire's might and influence wane, a new era is dawning. Which new race will ascend to power?

Omega Centauri is a game of galactic empire building for 2 to 4 players. A 6 Round game of Omega Centauri (the Introductory Game) can be completed in one hour, and a 9 round game of Omega Centauri (the Full Game) can be completed in about two hours.

Throughout the game, you will be compelled to make important decisions regarding how to advance your civilization – will you focus on obtaining technological or cultural superiority or will you build an invincible armada to crush those who stand in your way?

The winner of the game will be the player who has accumulated the most victory points at the end of the final round of play. Omega Centauri offers players many routes to victory, and you can accumulate VP by wresting control of sectors of space from the Empire (or from other players), by improving your infrastructure and planetary defences, or by expanding your cultural influence. The player with the most victory points (“VP”) at the end of the final round is deemed to have ascended and established the new dominant Empire in the galaxy.

Un nou gamer's game de la Spielworxx.

In La Granja, 1-4 players control small farms by the Alpich pond near the village of Esporles on Majorca.

La Granja is a fascinating game that requires careful planning. Successful players must learn to cope with the imponderability of the dice and cards as well.

The player who has earned the most victory points at the end of the game is the winner and new owner of the La Granja estate!

A aparut si coperta pentru de mult anuntata extensie pentru Terra Mystica:

[cristianf]

Si inca o coperta, tot pentru o extensie:

[deeug]

Alchemists mi se pare extrasuper!

Se pare ca e destul de avansat spre finalizare, cu toate ca pagina lui pe BGG e cam golasa. e interesant ca tre' sa-l joci cu un smartfon, lucru bun pentru cei care deja au, dar cam trist pentru restul.

Coperta e luata din filmuletul asta:

Sa vina extensia !!!

Nu pot sa ma abtin sa zic ca Ignacy Trzewiczek a creat un joc care-mi place mult: 51 State. Are si o varianta 1.8 sa zic care se cheama New Era care e mai slefuita dar nu pot sa zic ca e un joc nou.
Universul e unul post apocaliptic, cu mutanti, gunoaie, sarme ghimpate, enclave de supravietuitori adica e un univers care atrage cativa jucatori, dar nu exagerat de multi.

Bazat pe ideile din titlurile mentionate, dar adaugite si imbunatatite, iese in august:

Grafica e simpatica foc si Tom Vassel i-a facut jocului o prezentare care ma face sa cred ca o sa cunoasca o raspandire pe mai multe mese de joc.
De mare anvergura mi se pare faptul ca fiecare factiune din cele patru are propriul deck de carti pe langa cel comun, spre deosebire de 51st State/New era unde toata lumea avea acces doar la deck-ul comun.
Eu cu siguranta il astept ca si cand si sunt aproape convins c-o sa-i placa si lui Cristianf care nu vrea sa auda de 51st/new era!

Cred ca o sa-mi placa mult. Mi-a placut 51st State dar nu eram mort dupa stil (mutanti etc.) sau dupa grafica cartilor. Imperial Settlers este exact stilul meu din punctul acesta de vedere. Si, cum zicea si domnu' Garcia in film, pare ca acest joc aduce claritate spre deosebire de 51st State care e destul de greoi de jucat/urmarit. O surpriza placuta

[deeug]

Ca bine zici!

[VickdaReaper]

Eu raman fidel (Castro) universului din 51st State/New Era. Mecanicile se potrivesc prea bine cu tema ca sa ma atraga noua abordare (care este o miscare pur financiara).

[cristianf]

Si daca va fi un joc mai bun ? O dai incolo de tema sau ba ?

[deeug]

Si eu raman ca si Castro pentru 51st/new era!
Doar ca mai largesc un pic cercul si numarul de jucatori care apreciaza mecanicile despre care-i vorba...
