 Settlers of Catan - Scenarios: Oil Springs[MFG 3116]Eureka! Oil has been discovered on the island of Catan. The great engineers of Catan have learned ways to improve production using this valuable new resource, both by converting it into other materials and enabling the upgrade of cities into metropolises. But oil is scarce and its use does not come without cost. Using oil produces pollution, as well as climate changing emissions, which bring with them the threat of coastal flooding-and absolute disaster. With the discovery of oil on Catan, the Settlers face a new challenge: deciding whether the common good is worth limiting oil usage or whether the pursuit of victory is worth the risk of ruin. |
 Fog of War: Strike of the Eagle - The Polish/Soviet War of 1919[MFG AYG5251]Academy Games is launching a new series of historical wargames that features hidden units and secret orders. The Fog of War series of games will use wooden blocks instead of traditional counters or miniatures. The identity and statistics of each unit is hidden from the opponent until the fighting begins, in a manner similar to Columbia Games’ line of “block games.” The play of the game is controlled through the use of game cards, which are secretly selected and placed on the game board. This allows players to bluff and mislead their opponents as they develop their strategy. Strike of the Eagle is the first in this new series of games. The game centers around the conflicts that occurred in Poland following the end of World War One. Russian-supported Communist forces compete against the Polish military as new, modern technology appears on the battlefield. The game was originally designed by Robert Zak and was published in Poland by Gry Leonardo under the title The Eagle and the Star. Designer Uwe Eickert of Academy Games has developed the game for the American market. Strike of the Eagle will include a large (37” x 26”) mounted game board, 110 wooden unit blocks, 110 game cards, and a 20 page scenario book with historical notes and 8 campaign scenarios. For 2 to 4 players, recommended for ages 13 and up. |

 Wacky Wacky West[MFG 4104]Just south of nowhere, there's the junction of the Mayfair & Rossdorf RR and the Turvy Trunk Line. Springing up from the desert like a tumbleweed lies the eccentric little town of Rossdorf. Like most western towns, Rossdorf has a Land Agent: Guy Dough, the brother of that wicked varmint Black Benny. A shrewd opportunist, Guy's done sold all the town land ('ceptin' the outhouses) four times over! Every acre in town that ain't got an outhouse on it is owned by the miners, the railroads, AND the fort captain. Just about a year ago, miners digging in the shadow of Fort Rossdorf struck the mother lode! But it wasn't gold, and it wasn't silver. No, my friend, it was just a little spring. Not any ordinary spring, though! It was a torrent of that mind-marbling drink the locals call "Wacky Water!" Now that water's done what the sun and the wind couldn't do: it's made those landholders brave enough to take matters into their own hands. Now they'll use whatever means they can to bowl over the competition and lay claim to the only fertile spots left in town! Now the only thing stoppin' 'em is the Town Charter Amendment #5, which states: "no landholder may move, remove, or detonate any outhouse without a majority vote of the Town Citizens..." Now one thing's for sure: something’s gonna stink in Rossdorf, purty darn soon..... In Wacky Wacky West you and your fellow townfolk place track tiles, street tiles, and river tiles hoping to destroy your rivals' buildings. Every time someone tries to build over a precious outhouse, the town votes! You try to enlist your supporters (represented by cards) to vote with you to stop or encourage the play of certain tiles-perhaps saving some of your buildings or taking out those of your dastardly opponents. |
