Last week was crazy busy, so not much time for updates here in the blog. But now with the weekend in sight there is time for a look back what has happened/arrived this week.
New arrivals this week included:
Wizkids Games has announced a new board game based in the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universe. The Designer of The Rise & Fall of Anvalor is Rustan Hakansson (Nations), the planned release date is April:
The Rise and Fall of Anvalor has players helping to build and defend the city with other factions, at least officially. Each player’s real goal is to gather the most influence in Anvalor and dominate the city, even if it means its ultimate fall. Players build city buildings to gather influence, or sometimes just to block allies from strengthening their position; and fend off enemies during attacks, or let allies weaken them, and then swoop in to deliver the killing blow. The player with the most influence at the end of the game wins.

Just in time for the weekend, we have two more new games in stock for you:
Inis: Isle of Seasons and Gloomhaven: Forgotten Circles are two highly anticipated expansions which originally were announced as October/November releases.
Unfortunately, both are now delayed and won’t be available before February/March 2019. We have updated the listings on our website and contacted all customers who have pre-ordered these two expansions. If you have any questions regarding your order, please contact us!
We have received the first five new games for this week:
Less than two weeks until the TableTop Gaming Live at the Alexandria Palace in London (29th and 30th September).

Because of the bank holiday on Monday, everything is a day later this week. So instead yesterday, here are the new releases we have received this week:
The shop is now closed for our summer break. We are back on Tuesday, 7th August.
Our shop will close on Monday for our summer break (it will open again on Tuesday, 7th August). We have received our last new releases before the summer break yesterday, all remaining expected releases for this month had to be moved into August.
While the shop is closed we will still receive the usual new releases deliveries every Tuesday. Any game that gets released during our break, will be on hold and the orders will get processed as soon as we are back. We will post an update on the day we are back to let you all know which games these are.
I’m very sorry if this will cause any delays in getting your game(s).
Plaid Hat Games has announced two new games.
Assemble the ultimate team and join the fight in Guardians, a game of super-powered battles for two or four players! The Guardians were once a network of legendary heroes that fought for peace and justice. They were influential in establishing InterGov, the world’s first global government. The Guardians chose to step aside so that InterGov could usher the world into a new age of peace and prosperity. Nearly three decades have passed, and new threats have emerged to challenge the peace these heroes fought for. A new generation of heroes must now rise and fight for the future!
The game will be available in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Plaid Hat Games is proud to announce Neon Gods, the strategy game of futuristic gang warfare set in the far future of, um, 2009. Neon Gods is a story of street gangs set in a kaleidoscopic near future inspired by sci-fi cinema of the 70s and 80s. Start your own (legitimate) businesses and watch them flourish. Recruit the finest disillusioned ne’er-do-wells to hold your territory, and purchase black market resources that’ll give you the edge. Be prepared to fight for what’s yours, because your opponents will muscle in on your territory. And don’t forget the cops, who clearly don’t have anything better to do than harass innocent business owners such as yourself. The world may not think much of you, but in the back alley glow of the neon night, you can be a god.
The game should be available from retailers before the end of the year.
