Renegade Game Studios is thrilled to announce multiple new categories and properties, for hobby gaming, as an extension of their existing partnership with Hasbro, Inc.. With this expanded partnership the G.I. Joe, Transformers, and My Little Pony brands join Renegade’s already successful Power Rangers line to their family of games. You can look forward to new roleplaying and deckbuilding games which will begin hitting shelves in 2021.

When they said that the new RISK: FACTIONS XBLA game was going to have cats and robots in it, I was skeptical. When zombies were mentioned as one of the factions in the game, I started losing interest. But it's a good thing I didn't, because not only do I get to do another one of those pro video game reviews that will put my name in lights (on Metacritic at least), it's also a pretty good edition of RISK. In fact, I almost wish that any new version of the printed game would bring forward some of the new things in the video game. I like the cartoon style, I like the factions (but they need a special power or something), and I like the special buildings.

Too bad the AI is terrible. As good as the presentation and interface is, you just can't match a human player in this kind of game.

Coming up next: SNIPER: GHOST WARRIOR, which is kind of like the straight-to-DVD version of a  CALL OF DUTY game, and probably another review or two that will not, under any circumstances, break 1200 words.

From Game Salute and others reporting on press release that I can't locate independantly:

After 14 years with Hasbro, Rob Daviau (Risk Legacy, Heroscape, Risk 2210AD) is leaving to form his own company, IronWall games. The decision came after Hasbro relocated Daviau’s job 100 miles to Providence last fall. After a year of working and commuting and otherwise living like a wandering monster, Daviau decided to set off on his own. His last day at Hasbro will be September 14^t.h

“Big change, realllly big change,” said Daviau. “When I started at Hasbro, the Monica Lewinsky scandal was going on. So it’s been about a third of my life and most of my adult life. Looking forward to doing my own thing.”

IronWall Games will provide design, development, and rules consulting for game companies, both in the mass market and hobby genres. It will also produce original games, mostly within the hobby market.

IronWall Games starts October 1^st.

We are proud to announce that we will be publishing the English version of the new game from Portal games by Ignacy Trzewiczek, Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the cursed Island.

Rumble in the House

Flatlined Games is pleased to announce our second game : Rumble in the House, by Olivier Saffre.

Rumble in the House will be released in Semptember, shortly before the Essen Spiel'11 Game Fair.
Flatlined games will be present at Essen Spiel'11, in booth 4-216.

About the Game

Living together in a small house is not easy... When the pressure is too high, it's time for a big rumble in the house! Try to keep your secret character inside the house as long as possible.

Rumble in the House is a very simple game of bluffing and guessing.

Characters are placed in the house during setup. Each player gets two secret character tokens. Players may in turn move or eliminate ont of the characters in the house. The player that kept one of his secret characters in play for the longest time shall win the round. During the game, other player's actions provide clues about their identity, or intended false leads. Each player tries to guess which are the other player's characters in order to eliminate them, while keeping their own safe.

The simple mechanics and short play time make Rumble in the House a family game for 3 to 6 players aged 8 years and older.

The humoristic art from Kwanchai Moriya perfectly suits this minimalistic party-game.

Rumble in the House is a small format box (11x11x3Cm) and will be available in a multilingual edition including rules in English, French, Spanish, Dutch and german. MSRP is 15€.

You can download the rules from our website : http://www.flatlinedgames.com/files/games/rumble_in_the_house/rules/rith_rulebook_005_web.pdf

An escape room style game where you get to be one of the Scooby gang.

The first printing of Fantasy Flight's Mansions of Madness, unfortunately contained several game spoiling errors and misprints in it's rules and cards. Fantasy Flight's updated, as of 6/3/2011,  Errata and FAQs now states that these errors have been corrected in the second printing, which can be recognized by the MAR11 printed in it's barcode. Unfortunately the second printing has some errors of it's own.

The updated errata also confirms, as many gamers predicted, that a corrected set of cards will be included in an expansion, stating:

While some errata has been revised in the second printing of the game, we will include a corrected set of all known misprinted cards in the first (non-print on demand) Mansions of Madness expansion.

The full Errata and FAQs can be found here.

“You should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba’s put a price on your head so large, every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you.”
   –Greedo, Star Wars: A New Hope

The galaxy is a dangerous place. Smugglers risk their lives moving valuable and illegal cargo past Imperial patrols, and anyone can become the target of a trained bounty hunter. These low-lifes make up the seedy underworld of Star Wars™, and you can bring that underworld to your games of Imperial Assault with the Han Solo Ally Pack and the IG-88 Villain Pack!

Following on the heels of the insurgent 2010 cult smash Incursion, Grindhouse Games releases SNAFU: a 64 page perfect bound book that contains 19 new missions: including two player games, solo play, multi-player, and even some missions which utilize both sides of the board. The book also contains rules for new characters, and up-to-date FAQ, painting tutorials, and loads of fictional bits. 12 new white metal miniatures kits are available separately to represent the new characters in the book or expand upon previous options. Finally, a set of free print and play resources are available for download: a few counters and cards as well as some standees for folks who don't dig on heavy metal.
