Advent Offers!!!

Starting today and every day until Christmas Eve, we will be adding a new special offer. These will last right through until New Years Eve or when stock has run out.

Today is the 1st of December and means its time to reveal the fist offer.

From today our remaining stock of Iconic Masters will be reduced from £9 per booster to just £8 per booster, which is cheaper than many of the online suppliers. We only have a limited amount of these boosters and once they are gone they are gone! (The price will go back up to £9 on Jan 1st)


The updated Advent Calendar will be on our website and will show each offer as it is revealed!

Board Game Restocks

Another game that is due back in stock this week is ...


Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etcetera. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of his meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.

During a game of Carcassonne, players are faced with decisions like: "Is it really worth putting my last meeple there?" or "Should I use this tile to expand my city, or should I place it near my opponent instead, giving him a hard time to complete his project and score points?" Since players place only one tile and have the option to place one meeple on it, turns proceed quickly even if it is a game full of options and possibilities.

Here is a very quick and simple video I found online which explains how to play ...

Game Restocks

This week we are due to get some restocks of games that have been unavailable for a while including ...


Eight-Minute Empire, by Ryan Laukat, is a quick game that implements the Civilization / Exploration theme using card-driven area control (by placing armies and cities in a small map) and set collection (by getting resources from the board and the cards). Players spread through the map in order to collect points at the end of the game by having majorities in regions and continents. All actions (such as land or sea movement, army production, or the founding of cities) are driven by cards that are face-up (six at a time) and available by increasing prices. Cards also contain resources, which also give points when the game ends if properly collected.

Here is what you get in the box ...

Explorers of Ixalan

EXPLORING THE DECKLISTS OF EXPLORERS OF IXALAN

Due in this week is a limited amount of the new Explorers of Ixalan. So I thought it was time to feast your eyes on all four decklists, so that by the time you have the game, you'll already know which one you want to call dibs on. Note, also, that the cards within are not exclusively from Ixalan, although they are themed around the set's four iconic tribes.

In fact, since Explorers takes place on Ixalan, so Wizards gave some of the older cards (and one lucky token) an art update so they could fit in better in their new surroundings, cards such as ...
