Commander Party - Marvel Super Heroes

This Thursday evening we will be hosting the first MTG Super Heroes Commander Party event.

This will be part of the normal commander night that we run, as an additional fun format the players will be able to play the following additional rules.

SET UP

Before the game begins, set the Super Heroes in the middle of the table. Players may include the Super Heroes from the Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel’s Spider￾Man Commander Party as additional heroic options if they wish. 

Starting with the youngest player and going clockwise, each player chooses a Super Hero and places it in the command zone. Set the remaining Super Heroes aside. They won’t be used in this game. 

Set the Infinity Stone chart in the centre of the table where all players can see it.

SUPER HEROES

The Super Villains are vanquished and the Super Heroes have captured the Infinity Stones! It’s now time to determine the ultimate champion in a cosmically charged confrontation!

• Starting on third turn of the player who goes first, the Infinity Stones become active. From that point on, at the beginning of each player’s end step, that player rolls a six sided die to determine which Stone’s effect happens.
• Each Stone requires something to reap its reward. If you successfully follow its first instruction, an ability will trigger. Players may respond to this ability. As the ability resolves, you’ll put an infinity counter on your Super Hero and enjoy that Stone’s unique benefit.
• Careful, heroes! Vast rewards await you, but wielding the Infinity Stones carries immense risk. Once the die is cast, you must do as Stones command, whether the result is to your liking or not.

INFINITY STONES

• Super Hero cards aren’t permanents and can’t be removed, destroyed, or otherwise vanquished.
• During the game, Super Hero cards will receive infinity counters from the effects on the Infinity Stone chart. This is the only way infinity counters may be added. Other effects, such as proliferating, won’t work.
• Each Super Hero card has two abilities. The first is always active. The infinity ability becomes active once a Super Hero card has three infinity counters on it 

This is a completely free event and players can choose to either play this format or not. Anyone that does take part in this fun format will receive a promo card ...

There will be a second opportunity to play this format in August and if you want to do it twice there will be a difference card available next time.

A Tiny Tin Tale

This week we have some new titles from Bedsit Games, along with Twitten which we shared details with you last week we also have two 'Tiny Tin Tales'. These are small games that are set in the same world as Paupers Ladder. 

First up we have The Crows of Coppershell Bay. 

Prepare yourself for a tiny tin adventure set in the coastal town of Coppershell Bay. You play a lowly skinner at the local maggot farm who has 3 days to pay back their debt of 60 Gems to the local Crows gang. You’ll spend these days exploring the town trying trying to earn money, the nights resting, eating and working extra shifts at the farm. Any time between you’ll be taking on quests for the miners’ guild, venturing into the dangerous tunnels underground.

The Crows of Coppershell Bay is a game of luck pushing, coin counting, dungeon crawling and village living for 1 player. It's the first in the Tiny Tin Tales series, a collection of portable games set in the world of Brighthelm.

This is the second edition of The Crows of Coppershell Bay. For a round up of the tweaks and balances in this edition, pop over here.

Secondly we have The Siege of Shaddis Horne. 

The fairies have gone mad. Their once quaint magic threatens all of Brighthelm. The golems they created to protect the villages are now tearing them apart.

Now the little forest town of Shaddis Horne, with its elemental college, is under siege. The fairies know that without this source of magic, Brighthelm’s chemists will be dealt a severe blow. They must be stopped.

Your Hawkguard soldiers have been sent to repel the fairies and their minions, inspire the villagers and keep Shaddis Horne standing until the siege is over. It won't be easy.

The Siege of Shaddis Horne is a co-operative resource gathering tower defence game for 1-4 players, with a smattering of push-your-luck dungeon crawling to boot.

We have both of these games on Sale plus they are available in our games library for either playing in the shop for free or renting for just £2 per night.

Twittens

New from Bedsit Games, the creators of BN1 and Paupers Ladder comes Twittens

Twittens is an old Sussex word to describe the little alleyways and lanes that run between houses and fields. They thread their way through towns and suburbs like veins, walled by red bricks, garden fencing and rusted chicken wire. Elsewhere they're known as ginnels, snicks and vennels.

Twittens is a tile laying game for 1-5 players, set in an everyday English suburb. Work your way through the seasons exploring your local twittens, discovering their houses, wildlife, allotments, playgrounds, railways and electrical substations. Complete your wanderings and get home in time for tea.

Here's a quick introduction to Twittens. I take a few turns and explain how all the different elements score work together.

Codenames: Critical Role Adventures is a unique take on Codenames inspired by the Critical Role universe. It’s a fully cooperative version of the game where one GM (game master) leads their party through perilous missions, each with its own twist and take on the classic Codenames rules and featuring a new set of themed words. Play the game in three separate campaigns, choose from seven Critical Role characters, and, by leveling them up, unlock new abilities and equip items to use during missions.

In Drillers, players explore an abandoned mine using their mechs, trying to find and excavate anything useful or valuable left behind by a forgotten mining corporation. Each level of the mine brings new opportunities and new challenges as fuel runs low and decisions become tighter. By collecting cards, players unlock new actions and improve the drilling capabilities of their mechs—inspired by iconic real-life vehicles—to push their operations deeper underground.

You’ve made new blankets for your cats, but they want their old ones back! Remake the original patterns quickly before the yowling begins!

Each round, a goal card is revealed for everyone to see. All players try to recreate that pattern as quickly as possible by weaving threads on their personal player boards. Players grab a cat token as soon as they finish. The player who fails to complete their blanket before the tokens run out receives a penalty, unless another player wrongfully claimed a token with an incorrect pattern.

It’s a unique, pattern-matching puzzle game for friends and families alike.

As the frosty days grow shorter, your cozy café becomes the ultimate refuge for customers seeking comfort from the cold. In Coffee Rush: Winter, the high-stakes barista business returns with a seasonal chill, challenging players to balance the frantic pace of peak hours with the delicate art of crafting winter specialties. Fulfilling orders earns you precious "like" cards and points, but fall behind, and those disgruntled customers will leave "dislikes" that count against your final score. Whether the game ends because the order deck is depleted or a barista accumulates five penalties, only the player who manages the winter rush with the most efficiency will be crowned the top barista.
