Now accepting pre-orders - Releasing in November!
ASM-ARCH01US Archipelago $ 79.99 SRP
Are you ready to take-on your discovery mission to the archipelago? Each player takes on the role of an explorer and their team, mandated by a European nation to discover, colonize and profit from the archipelagos. These missions are supposed to happen diplomatically, by answering the needs of the local population as much as the regular demands from the continent. You'll have to respect the archipelago and its natives as otherwise, they'll begin to revolt and that might end up with a war for independence. That's not taking into account that among you a separatist and a pacifist might be hidden, who will both tip the scales toward revolt or peace, respectively! Archipelago combines exploration, resource management, optimization, cooperation, strategy, negotiation, corruption, commerce, suspicion, alliances and betrayals, even a hint of investigation!
Features:
• Modular game with vast possibilities.
• A semi-cooperative game by Christophe Boelinger (Dungeon Twister, Earth Reborn).
• The possibility of choosing the length of your game - from 30 minutes to 5 hours.
ASM-DRAG001 River Dragons $ 39.99 SRP
In Dragon Delta, you want to move your pawn over a system of bridge-like planks to the other side of the board. An easy task! Or at least it would be if everyone were working together, but alas you're not. Instead you're all working on your own right next to one another, each convinced that your way is best.
In game terms, players simultaneously select one card from a set of five actions that's available to each player. The actions allow players to place plank foundations, place planks, move their pawns, cancel other players' actions, or remove planks or foundation stones. As can be expected for a design with simultaneous action selection, the game is rather chaotic.
The 2012 edition of the game includes a double-sided game board not present in earlier editions.
ASM-POW01US Panic On Wall Street $ 39.99 SRP
Panic on Wall Street players are divided into Managers and Investors. Managers offer for sale shares of societies they are in charge of for as much as possible. Investors attempt to acquire them for as little as possible in order to get the best return possible. After two minutes of negotiation, a roll of the dice brings (sometimes drastic) changes to the economy, with major consequences for the balance sheet of each player. After five rounds of play (5 months), the manager and the investor who have accumulated the most money are each declared victors, the undisputed Masters of Commerce.

BEZ-SUBU Suburbia $ 59.99 SRP
Plan, build, and develop a small town into a major metropolis. Use hex-shaped building tiles to add residential, commercial, civic, and industrial areas, as well as special points of interest that provide benefits and take advantage of the resources of nearby towns. Your goal is to have your borough thrive and end up with a greater population than any of your opponents.
Suburbia is a tile-laying game in which each player tries to build up an economic engine and infrastructure that will be initially self-sufficient, and eventually become both profitable and encourage population growth. As your town grows, you'll modify both your income and your reputation. As your income increases, you'll have more cash on hand to purchase better and more valuable buildings, such as an international airport or a high rise office building. As your reputation increases, you'll gain more and more population (and the winner at the end of the game is the player with the largest population). |

LEVIATHANS NOW IN-STOCK
 Over three years after the original unveiling at GTS, Leviathans, the alternate history/steampunk air combat game from Catalyst Game Labs, has finally launched and is now available at the Little Shop of Magic!
LAUNCH SPECIAL: purchase the Leviathans: Core Box Set before 09/17 and receive one of the British or French Fleet Boxes (your choice) at 20% off MSRP!!!!
Leviathans is a game that simulates combat between warships that have taken to the air in an alternate history 1910. The king leviathans, the battleships, are the largest vessels. Maneuvering in support are the smaller ships of light cruisers, destroyers, and others ships. Will you captain your fleet for king and country, expanding your nation’s power and becoming legend? Or will you fall from the sky, forgotten?
Catalyst Game Labs has made two FREE PDFs available for download which give you a great introduction to the game: click on the links below to check them out and stop by the store today to see Leviathans up close in all its glory.
Leviathans Introduction
The Leviathans Introduction PDF is a great way to leap into Leviathans! It offers a quick 8 page review of the universe, game and art that compromises this immersive universe. With this great sneak preview you’ll be able to decide if you want to try and tackle the other PDFs released to date, such as exploring the game through the Lieutenant’s Manual, the free quick-start rules for the game!
Lieutenant’s Manual
The Lieutenant’s Manual quick-start rules (QSR) is a 34-page PDF offering a complete introduction to the new, innovative Leviathans‘ game system, including playing maps, ready-to-cut-out-and-use Ship Cards and counters. All a player needs to bring to the table are a few sets of polyhedral gaming dice (D4, D6, D8, D10 and D12s) and in minutes they’ll be scouring the skies at the helm of several thousand tons of war-forged metal looking for the tail-tale sign of enemy smoke on the horizon.
Look for Leviathans demos to appear on our Calendar of Events shortly courtesy of the idomitable Capt. Walker and, in the meantime, keep your eyes on the skies! |
