New Releases! Lots of them! We got a bunch of new stuff in today and we’re pretty excited!

Sentinels of the Multiverse: Vengeance isn’t new, but it has been out of print for the last month or two, so it’s nice to have it back.

From the same company, Greater Than Games, we got in their brand new game, Galactic Strike Force. It’s a deck-building game with a twist — Rather than having individual turns, each player is constantly acting through the phases of the game, so no one is ever sitting around bored.

We also got in Expedition: Northwest Passage. Explore the frozen wastes by sled and ship, but watch the weather because the ice will block your ships and no one wants to be on the ice when it melts.

And there’s Pagoda, by Alderac Entertainment. Players physically build their pagodas with wooden columns and cards in this clever 2-player game.

Coming tomorrow, we’ll have the new edition of the classic Dungeon boardgame and on Wednesday we’ll get the new Ascension deck-building game set!

 

Tim Morgan

When Tim Morgan told his high school guidance counselor that he wanted to publish games for a living, the response was a clueless, “Uhhhh, you’ll probably want some college then.” Twenty-five years later, while still not publishing games for a living, he has made games his life -- over twenty years as the manager of a game store in Seattle, playtester of more RPGs and board games than you can shake a stick at, and small-press publisher of several games and even more novels. And now, co-owner of the ‘Round the Table Game Pub in Lynnwood. He currently lives in Everett, WA, where he is the caretaker of four (no, five!) lolcats, the oppressive taskmaster of a teenaged daughter, and the devoted husband of a wonderful author. His latest work is Ellis: Kingdom in Turmoil, a full RPG rules system and setting, detailing a low-fantasy world where religion is king and morality matters.
