– New stunning 2-6 player strategy flower game called “Dance of the Fireflies”.
“A 2-6 player strategy game called Dance of the Fireflies by designer Oliver Brooks.
We’ll have to say it is a beautiful game, definitely the prettiest we have ever published.
Players are each allocated seven Fireflies. Then they try to out-bid, out-manoeuvre their opponents to create the most beautiful flower beds and win the prize job of Head Gardener.
If you’d like to meet him, the game designer Oliver, will hopefully be at our booth on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
The game is due for worldwide release at Spiel, Essen in October 2017 and is going to print shortly.”
– “MourneQuest”, a 2-4 player cooperative boardgame based on the novel by the same name by Irish author Garry McElherron.
“MourneQuest, is a 2 – 4 player cooperative boardgame, based on the fantasy teen novel of the same name by Garry McElherron.
It’s due to be launched on Kickstarter in January 2018 and is packed full of Irish Mythical creature and character miniatures.
Players have to work together to stop the Nightmares being released and then prepare themselves as best they can to face the old War Dog, The Shimnavore, in a final battle.
To do this they have to collect resources, legendary artefacts and deal with the pesky Bogbeans.
The Nightmares
The Nightmares are imprisoned on discs on four sides of the uniquely shaped Celtic Cross playing board. At the end of each player’s turn the discs randomly move. Players must be on their toes to managed this fast changing threat. If not, the Nightmares will be released and all will be lost…
Each player is represented by a uniquely sculpted character miniature, each with their own special skill and can add to their powers by collecting legendary artefacts.
But beware, if they spend too much time looking for artefacts, the Nightmares will be released.”
