Answer the Call of Board Game Afterwork
Another week, another stack of new games on the table!
From the depths of the Amazon rainforest to neon-lit worlds, monster-filled encounters and uncharted seas, discover five games and expansions ready to take your next adventure to a whole new level.
Here we go!
Nature - Amazon Rainforest Expansion
Discover the mysteries of the rainforest, where surprises are concealed behind every leaf in the canopy. Defend against predators with deadly Poisonous skin, use Powerful Jaws to take down larger prey, or evolve Climbing to access fruit high in the trees. The Amazon Rainforest Module for Nature is now live on Board Game Arena! NorthStar Game Studio is running a contest to celebrate. More details here. Thanks to Dominic Crapuchettes, the game designer, NorthStar Game Studio, the publisher, and BanBan for the BGA port.
Pick a fighter in the neon-soaked streets of the future, chain your fist and kicks combo, zero your opponent’s health bar before they blink. Neon Reign is a fast-paced arcade brawl for 1 or 2 players where gloating is highly encouraged. Two thumbs up for Aaron Hein and Manny Trembley, the game designers, as well as the Neon Knight Games’ team and let’s not forget Kayvon & Mogri for their BGA adaptation.
Attack your opponents to steal their cards. Defend against players who target you. Collect enough cards to declare victory. Survive and be the last player standing! Wreck them before they wreck you. Everything else is just bragging rights. A tip of the hat to Tabbassum Qumer, the game designer, to Iconiq Studios, the publisher, and to Kayvon & Mogri for the BGA version.
The Arctic Ocean is nearly ice-free, and a group of homeless white bears has climbed aboard the black bears' isle. Cute bears, cutthroat island. The ice is gone, the real estate is tiny, and nobody's sharing. Whoever's bear sits on top owns the rock... until the island sinks beneath them. Adorable chaos, no mercy. Let’s raise our glass, no ice, to Yi-Ching Chen, the game designer, to HEYBYE GAMING, the publisher, and to Richardzenn for the BGA port.
Five nations, one lawless port, zero rulers in 7th Sea: City of Five Sails. Just docks, duels, and daggers hidden behind pretty smiles. Assassinate the leader, seize the city, or out-scheme everyone to the top; the city doesn't care how you win, only that you do. We salute Tom Brown, Robert Croy, Case Kiyonaga, Case Lopez and Chris Medico, the game designers, as well as the Pine Box Entertainment’s crew and Eddie Mittelstedt (aka BugShop) for the BGA adaptation.
Let’s not forget Point City and Rivals that were released on Monday and Wednesday!
Next week's lineup is already brewing. In the meantime, take care and play fair…
