Aeon's End
Aeon's End

The survivors of a long-ago invasion have taken refuge in the forgotten underground city of Gravehold. There, the desperate remnants of society have learned that the energy of the very breaches the beings use to attack them can be repurposed through various gems, transforming the malign energies within into beneficial spells and weapons to aid their last line of defense: the breach mages. Aeon's End is a cooperative game that explores the deckbuilding genre with a number of innovative mechanisms, including a variable turn order system that simulates the chaos of an attack, and deck management rules that require careful planning with every discarded card. Players will struggle to defend Gravehold from The Nameless and their hordes using unique abilities, powerful spells, and, most importantly of all, their collective wits.

Nemesis
Nemesis

Nemesis is a 1-5 player survival sci-fi game where players are woken up from hibernation as a crew of a space ship. The emergency procedure states that there is a critical system failure and the space ship can't continue its cruise. The goal of the crew is to find what is causing this failure and fix the situation to safely return back to Earth. The main problem is that one crew member is dead. Somebody crashed his hibernation chamber and pulled his body out. In addition, if you listen closely, some additional noises and sounds can be heard. New ones, strange ones, ones that were never heard before… Nemesis is a cooperation game combined with bluffing, backstabbing, and other elements of a science-fiction survival horror adventure.

Evolution: The Beginning

Evolution series: thoughts?

20 minutes ago

Evolution: Beginning is a simplified form of Evolution made to be beginner and child friendly. The original Evolution game wasn't that complicated to begin with, so I'd skip on the Beginning. There's also a standalone expansion called Evolution: Climate. This works exactly like the original game except they added a climate mechanic so your creatures would have to deal with warmer or colder temperatures and the food fluctuations that come with it. You can also get it as an add-on expansion if you already have the original, but it's more expensive that way so I would buy the standalone climate version. There's also Evolution: Flight which is an expansion to the original Evolution, but while it is compatible with the Climate version they haven't been playtested together much.

Evolution: Climate

Evolution series: thoughts?

I would only look at Evolution: Climate (standalone expansion) if you and/or your group are comfortable with a medium (light-medium) weight game. It fixes a couple of issues with the original Evolution, and adds an interesting bit of strategy. I wouldn't play the original game over the standalone if given the choice.

​

I haven't played Evolution: The Beginning (standalone) but from my understanding it is roughly an "intro"/"kids" version of the game, I would skip it.

​

I haven't played Evolution: Flight (expansion) as it isn't really compatible with Climate (can be house-ruled/variant), but generally it isn't regarded as a big improvement over the base game. Mostly adds a bit of variety.

​

Lastly there is a game in the works, Evolution: Oceans which changes the mechanics of Evolution a good bit and should be regarded as a different game for this discussion.

Storming the Gap - World At War 85
Storming the Gap - World At War 85

Goal: $68,762 / $18,000

Ends On: 3/7/2019

STORMING THE GAP is the first volume in the new WORLD AT WAR 85 SERIES, a line of games centered on fast and furious platoon-level combat. Set in an alternate history 1985, the globe is thrust into the maelstrom of World War III when the Warsaw Pact armies storm across the border between East and West Germany in a gamble to seize West Germany, and the whole of Free Europe.  Fight the opening battles of World War III; from desperate delaying actions by US Armored Cavalry and West German Panzergrenadier forces, to determined counterattacks by local ad-hoc armored forces against the might of the Soviet hordes. Strike fast with Soviet Air Assault troops in heliborne ops, securing roadways to allow the massed armor columns of the PACT to sweep westward into Germany.  The devastating armed forces of West Germany, the United States, East Germany, and the Soviet Union are at your disposal in your quest to reshape the world, and history.  The weight of the tactical decisions rest solely on your shoulders. Can NATO slow the Soviet advance with the armor and infantry they can bring to bear?  Or skillfully use Close Air Support and Attack Helicopter units to swing the tide of battle in your favor? Can the PACT slice through into Germany and cross the Rhine river, gateway to the conquest of all of Europe?  The  WORLD AT WAR 85  system features a unique combat system that involves die rolls by both attacking units and defending units, which keeps both players engaged throughout the game. Die rolls are compared and hits applied quickly, as all the information you need to fight your units is on the counters. No combat results table is necessary. Initiative, formation activation, random turn length, and close air support are all smoothly integrated. Twenty unique scenarios are provided in  STORMING THE GAP , positing battles that might have been, using 1985 era equipment at  PLATOON  and  BATTERY  level. In  Iron Horse, Iron Spear , direct the first local counterattack by US Armored Cavalry troops. In  Vertical Strike , Soviet Heliborne Air Assault platoons strike hard and fast to pave the way for advancing PACT armor columns. The West Germans launch a desperate counterattack in  Bundeswehr Gegenangriff . East German and Soviet forces attempt to break through hastily collected NATO companies, determined to deny the approaches to the river crossings in  The Rhine .  The  WORLD AT WAR 85  series features expansive rules for variable turn lengths, random formation activation, point blank and long weapon ranges, line of sight, anti-tank guided missile and surface-to-air missile ammunition reloading, headquarters assets and bonuses, indirect fire, close air support, night combat, minefield breaching, improved positions, movement and fire, assault, opportunity fire, anti-aircraft fire, attack helicopters, concealment, and more. All in a moderate complexity, yet flexible game system that plays fast!   The Formation Activation mechanics are  perfectly  suited for  solitaire play . All unit counters are color-coded, with a corresponding Formation card. When drawn, these cards determine which units are activated on the map, keeping the flow of battle challenging, unknown, and exciting! To make this the ultimate WWIII platoon tactical level package, we’re including a  Battle Generator . Using unit point listings and the game’s geomorphic maps, players can unleash their creativity to design, share, and fight battles that only you can imagine. It is all here, and YOU are IN COMMAND.
