Sci-Fi-Fantasy War Games

AGE OF CONAN - THE STRATEGY BOARD GAME

Age of Conan - The Strategy Board Game lets players control one of the four major kingdoms of the Hyborian Age: Aquilonia, Hyperborea, Stygia, and, Turan. Game play occurs over the course of three ages. Using wars, emissaries, armies, and diplomatic intrigue, each player attempts to aggressively expand their borders and influence to achieve dominion over their neighbors. Phases of each age will also have players complete adventures, conduct sieges, build cities, raise troops, spend gold on various goodies, and even bid to be the player that controls Conan. Points are won or lost during each of the three ages through various victories or defeats, and bonuses are earned during play as well. While all of this action is taking place, Conan the Cimmerian wanders throughout Western Hyboria. When Conan is present, he can disrupt carefully laid plots and sway the tide of battles. Though no one kingdom can completely control his actions, a clever ruler can guide Conan so that his presence rattles and perplexes his opponent's attempts at victory. After much battle and bloodshed the game ends when either the fourth adventure of the third round is finished or, at the end of any adventure in the third age, when a player makes an attempt to crown Conan as ruler of his kingdom (successful or not). The player with the highest score after all bonuses added is the winner in the Age of Conan!

In Dust, players vie to conquer and control majorities of the world's lands and seas, while developing their infrastructure and high-tech armies. On their turn, players select a card from their hand that determines their strategy for the turn and need to carefully decide how to spend valuable production points which buy factories and units. In battle, players take turns rolling dice to destroy enemy units until one side is either totally annihilated, retreats, or a cease-fire is agreed upon. Control of capitals, power sources, and majorities is key to earning victory points. A set number of victory points determines victory and once a player has accumulated half of them, he or she can attack an enemy capital. At that point, all players can join the fray on capital attacks. Chaos may ensue at this point leaving all but the victor in the Dust!

If you enjoy war games and pondering alternate realities, then this is the game for you! Tannhauser has been thoughtfully designed to engross the player into another world. One of the elements that makes this game unique is its U-Chronic Universe, an alternate universe closely resembling our own, yet different enough to capture the players' imagination. In the game Tannhauser, the year is 1949 and the Great War (WWI) was never finished; thus the battle is continuing some thirty-five years later! One of the characteristics that really makes this game stand out is its cutting edge "Pathfinding System," an innovative approach to expediting game play. It is composed of a clever targeting system (made up of colored circles with up to three different colored arcs) which is depicted upon the board game itself. This allows the players to determine action zones and the line of site for the entire cast of characters, hastening game play since players no longer need to requisite the instruction manual as frequently. Tannhauser offers three levels of difficulty as well as four modes of play which are as follows: Story Mode, Domination Mode, Death Match, and Catch the Flag. These combinations allow for a multitude of gaming experiences. Players also have a comprehensive lineup to choose from when picking characters and their various attributes, therefore giving individual players different abilities while covering more bases as a team. There is an assortment of five good characters (the 42nd Alter-Marine Special Forces) and five evil characters (the Reich and Obscura Korps) and each comes with an individual character board to keep track of equipment, skills, and points. The objective of the game is to keep the evil forces from dominating the world through unholy, nefarious means. Infact, the beginning of the game begins with a military briefing and you are given the mission, code named 'Tannhauser'. To date there are seven expansion packs that are easily integrated into the game which adds to this unique gaming experience - where no two games are alike!
