  • A Look at Asmodée's Upcoming Offerings


    logo-asmod.jpgAsmodée has always been something of a wildcard to me.  You never know what to expect; their releases tend to be offbeat, many times original, and often having a very different feel even from other titles that they offer. 

    They've demonstrated a knack for solid productions and incorporating appealing themes, though.  So let's take a look at Asmodée and both their previous and upcoming titles.

  • Airborne In Your Pocket Kickstarter campaign entering it's last week!

    Airborne In Your Pocket is a fast-paced game that puts you in the boots of an Allied paratrooper on D-Day! Jump behind enemy lines and infiltrate a German bunker!

    It has been a successful campaign we must admit and would like to thank all the supporters who have helped us reach our goal.  However, many of the supporters are really hoping to get the lovely "One Box to Hold Them All" and we are still just under $30k away from that goal.

    Come take a look at the campaign site (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1325766284/airborne-in-your-pocket-board-game) and watch the movie for this great little game.  Currently, if you pledge $70 you get over $120 in game product (take a look at the objective achieved so far below)!  And that's not including the future stretch rewards if we reach them.

    And look at that limited edition Dick Winters sculpt you'll get.  How can you resist?

    Let's get the "One Box to Hold Them All"!
