From A Galaxy Far Away To You
A long long time ago in a galaxy far away… there was a game store manager who somehow or other started thinking about Star Wars title crawl and unfortunately started rambling.
Because the X-Wing Miniatures Game and the Star Wars: Rebellion and Imperial Assault board games are now in stock.
Because an all new edition of the award winning X-Wing Miniatures Game has reached our shores. Whether you're a faceless Imperial Veteran, striking out for freedom with the Rebel Alliance or a hardscrabble scum privateer looking out for the next credit, it's time to plunge back into the swirling dogfights of the Star Wars films.
Looking to take the fight to the Empire on a more personal level? Whether you're running it against a dedicated Imperial opponent, or pitting your rebel cell in a fully cooperative game against the free Legends of the Alliance companion app, the Imperial Assault board game and wave a guerrilla campaign against the Galactic Empire across the edges of space.
The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. Test this maxim in Star Wars: Rebellion, an asymetric strategic wargame set in the Star Wars universe. Choke entire systems as the Galactic Empire or sting and run as the Rebel Alliance. Decide the fate of a galaxy far far away, as you decide whether the Alliance to Restore the Republic will triumph or if the Emperor will rule unchallenged!
Tiny Trash Panda
Monday sometimes sneaks up on you like a bewildered raccoon stuck riding a garbage truck.
I don't actually know how that analogy works, but it was amusing enough for my brain to want to make it stick.
Restocks are in along with some new releases. You know how it works. Come down to the store and give Trash Panda a spin with the staff. And if you're feeling more cerebral, why not give Spy Club a whirl.
In Spy Club, players work together as young detectives to solve neighborhood mysteries. It includes a replayable campaign format, with variable unlocking content, for playing a series of 5 games connected together to tell a larger story. Throughout the campaign, you'll unlock new modules with additional rules and story elements. With 40 new modules and 174 cards in the campaign deck, you can reset everything and play multiple campaigns — with a different story and gameplay experience emerging each time.
In Trash Pandas, players are raucous raccoons, tipping over trash cans for food (and shiny objects). Players push their luck to acquire more cards, but must stash them in order for them to count as points at the end of the game. When the deck runs out, the game ends and players compare their stashes to see who has the majority for each card type and score points accordingly. The player with the most points wins!

Meanwhile… Something else looks to be making its way over this week. We'll let you know as soon as we get it.
Many Things Are Going To Die
I'm not sure what the theme is for this week. I don't think there is even a theme. Then again, with this week's new shiny being 'The Captain Is Dead: Lockdown', 'Doomseeker', 'Delta Green' and 'Boss Monster: Rise of the Minibosses', perhaps the closest thing to a common thread is that things are probably going to die.
Usually in entertaining ways.
No big.
Didn't want to live forever anyway.
So on to the games. The Captain is Dead: Lockdown is a new standalone episode in the ongoing saga that started with The Captain Is Dead. Despite their brave escape, the crew is once again in grave danger. The hasty repairs on the ship's jump core made it cut out a few star systems away. Now they find themselves captured by the Alien Empire. The team must escape by stealing a ship, and must once again work as a team to avoid the guards, hack into systems and get away before their jailors take them back to their cells or kill them on the spot.
Looks like there's a new threat rising in the land of Arcadia: Minibosses! Boss Monster: Rise of the Minibosses is an all new standalone set that can integrate with the previous two Boss Monster Base sets and all previous expansions. As before, players will build up their dungeon in order to lure in heroes and defeat them before they reach your boss. New mechanisms such as the all new miniboss room cards will power up your dungeon in insidious new ways, and wreak havoc on your opponents' dungeons.
The Doomseeker card game pits players against one another to see who can die the most glorious death! Players take on the role of a mighty dwarf slayer and wander the old world seeking their doom battling monsters and enemies of their race. Press your luck and challenge the denizens and monsters of the Old World, with each victory bringing you more glory, and ultimately your death can be met at the hands of a truly worthy foe!
Extremely Ex-Scything
Okay. The pun was terrible. Doesn't change the fact that we have Scythe back in stock. Of course, it doesn't stop there, or I wouldn't have made the pun in the first place.
Already own Scythe? Time for Rise of Fenris, an all new Scythe expansion built around campaign play for a Scythe style legacy world. Want something lighter? Try My Little Scythe. Yes. My Little Scythe.
Anyway. If you were excited about the new Limited run Marvel Cinematic Universe Core Set for Marvel Legendary that arrived last week, maybe smash things up with Marvel Legendary: World War Hulk.
And D&D: Dragon Heist, and a hefty slab of new Reaper Bones, Pathfinder Deep Cuts and Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures RPG figurines because we haven't forgotten the role playing crowd either.
All good? Then maybe you'll be able to forgive the pun.
In Legendary: World War Hulk, the smartest Heroes in the Marvel universe, the Illuminati, fear Hulk's raw strength and furious rampages. They conspire to trick Hulk into exile on a distant world. Players will be able to take on roles as Gladiator Hulk and the Warbound, or as other Heroes trying to hold Hulk and the Warbound back in this expansion, loaded with the Hulk's new Transform mechanic.
Empires have risen and fallen in the aftermath of the Great War, and Europa stands on the precipice of a new era. Scythe: The Rise of Fenris, the conclusion to the Scythe expansion trilogy, enables two different options – Campaign play built to revolve around an eight-episode persistent campaign and modules whichcan be used in various combinations to cater to player preferences including a fully cooperative module.
My Little Scythe is a competitive game inspired by the original award winning Scythe, in which each player controls 2 animals embarking upon an adventure in the Kingdom of Pomme. In an effort to be the first to earn trophies from increasing their friendship and pies, powering up their actions using upgrade tiles, completing quests, learning magic spells, discovering precious resources, delivering gems and apples to Castle Everfree, and perhaps even engaging in a pie fight.
In an all new adventure for Dungeons & Dragons, famed explorer Volothamp Geddarm needs you to complete a simple quest. Thus begins a mad romp through the wards of Waterdeep in Dragon Heist as you uncover a villainous plot involving some of the city's most influential figures. A grand urban caper awaits you. Pit your skill and bravado against villains the likes of which you've never faced before, and let the dragon hunt begin!

So, the plan is to get back to doing what we do… which is to fire off a slew of new titles to keep you ready for some weekend gaming.
So lets get to it.
Hoist the T.I.M.E Agency flag and ready yourselves to cross the high seas with Brotherhood of the Coast, the seventh T.I.M.E Stories expansion.

Fluxx is a card game in which the cards themselves determine the current rules of the game. By playing cards, you change numerous aspects of the game: how to draw cards, how to play cards, and even how to win. Jump into the wave of educational Fluxx sets, with a focus on human anatomy, mathematics formulas and chemistry equations in an experience that can be both fun and educational simultaneously.
Mysterious and intriguing temples call for exploration by brave adventurers. Powerful arcane runes were hidden in these ancient magical ruins protected by dark and deadly curses. Only the most courageous and adventurous Curse Breakers may enter the temples, break the dark curses, and bring back the arcane runes for the magic academy for its glorious bounty. In Mystery of the Temples, players take on the role of Curse Breakers, traveling between the wilderness and the temples in order to collect crystals of various colors. Fusing the colorful crystals on the Crystal Grid in the correct order breaks the curse of the temple, and you earn runes and victory points in the process.
