Adventure

Dungeon Lords: Festival Season is a big expansion that includes lots of Dungeon Lording goodness.

The game is still played over two years, but now each year has five rounds instead of four: winter, spring, summer, autumn and festival season. More time to build your dungeon, but also more time for adventurers to gather a larger party. There are new monsters, rooms, and traps to prepare your dungeon for the battle, but also new nasty spells for the adventurers and sneaky bards who encourage them to perform so-called "heroic" deeds – not to mention two paladins for each year, now ready to punish up to two evil players.

Would you like to push other players toward evil instead of moving yourself toward good when visiting the city? What about making an investment instead of traditional gold digging? Or what about repairing conquered tunnels or rooms instead of digging new ones? Only eight actions are still available to you, but each season one of those actions is replaced by an alternate set of spaces that offer new and intriquing options.

And did we mention that it has recently become fashionable for Dungeon Lords to have their own personal pets?

Dungeon Lords: Festival Season includes the mini expansion Dungeon Lords: The New Paladins.

If games have been around since there were people to invent them; if board games are as ancient as chess, and word games are as ancient as language, is there anything new in SKYSKRAPER? Only that you've never seen a board like the the KWIXOTE TOWER map, and you've never matched words with a character like K.W. MERRYMONEY III.

For an imaginative entertainment adventure come out to the TOWER. Cloud Castle PENTHOUSE is the goal; arriving there first, the object of the game. Catch the elevator and race your opponents to the top, but don't expect a speedy, non-stop ride. These elevators are unique--unmoving until you crack the scrambled word codes that drive them.

And there are overridding Control KARDS; some direst Keycard operations, others send you where you didn't expect to go. Anticipate excursions to various TOWER sites. You will be challenged and tested, yet the luck of the draw may be all you need.

This is basically an unscramble-the-word game where score is kept on the board. The board depicts a skyscraper where players start at the ground floor and try to be the first to reach the penthouse. They do this with elevators, which are paths along the diagonals of the board. Advancement toward the penthouse occurs when words are successfully unscrambled. Players may be hindered, however, by having to take other paths around the skyscraper. And advancement may be helped or hindered by action cards obtained on various spaces around the board.

Shadows of Brimstone: Swamps of Death is a fast-paced, fully cooperative, dungeon-crawl board game set in the Old West, with a heavy dose of unspeakable horror! Players create characters, taking on the role of a classic Western Hero Archetype, such as the Law Man, Gunslinger, or Saloon Girl. Forming an adventuring posse, the Heroes venture down into the dark mines, overrun with all manner of ancient demons and foul creatures from another world. With tactical gameplay, lots of dice, and a robust card-driven exploration system, no two games are ever the same as the heroes explore the mines finding new enemies to fight, new loot to collect, and new dangers to overcome. Players can even find portals to other worlds, stepping through to continue their adventures on the other side!

An exciting campaign system allows the players to visit local frontier towns between adventures, spending their hard-earned loot and building their characters from game to game! As players find fantastic gear and artifacts to equip their heroes, they also gain experience from their adventures. This experience is used to level up, guiding the hero's path through an expansive, class-specific upgrade tree of new skills and abilities, allowing each player to develop their hero to fit their own play style.

In Swamps of Death, players will encounter portals to the otherworld Jargono, a humid swampland inhabited by sentient reptiles, vicious dinosaurs and a tribe of humanoids, cut off from return to their homeworld untold years after their own portal closed.

So load up yer' six shooter, throw on yer' hat and poncho, and gather the posse as the darkness is coming, and all hell's about to break loose...in the Shadows of Brimstone!

Can be used together with Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients to raise the maximum players to 6.

Instead, great mechanical keepers wander the city going about their duties - until interrupted by the arrival of the players' characters!
