Fantasy FLight Games Launches New Site; announces ANDROID

Whoa, mamma. I just got off the horn with our main man Jeremy Stomberg over at FFG and he let me in on some news- FFG has launched an all new (and awesome-looking) website and...suprise! The Jinteki game turns out to be ANDROID, a _murder mystery/detective game_ designed by Kevin Wilson. It looks and sounds awesome- it has a definite BLADE RUNNER vibe, and that is a very, very good thing as far as I'm concerned. It's a fresh theme, and defintely a break from the usual sort of game we've come to expect from FFG. I'm excited- even more so because the game is slated for a _mid December_ release.



Here's the ad copy from the new site:


Android is a board game of murder and conspiracy set in a dystopian future. Detectives travel between the city of New Angeles and moon colony Heinlein chasing down leads, calling favors, and uncovering the sinister conspiracy beneath it all. The detectives must balance their pursuit of the murderer against their personal lives and inner demons.

Android's innovative mechanics ensure that no two detectives play alike. Will you play as Louis Blaine, the crooked cop tormented by guilt and loss? Or will you take the role of Caprice Nisei, the psychic clone who struggles to retain her sanity while proving she's just as human as anyone else?

Whomever you choose to play, you've got just two weeks to solve the murder, uncover the conspiracy, and face your personal demons. Better get moving, detective.

Android is a game for 3-5 players and takes between 2-4 hours to play.

Go check it out.

Sometime in the early 1980s, MichaelBarnes’ parents thought it would be a good idea to buy him a board game to keep him busy with some friends during one of those high-pressure, “free” timeshare vacations. It turned out to be a terrible idea, because the game was TSR’s Dungeon! - and the rest, as they say, is history. Michael has been involved with writing professionally about games since 2002, when he busked for store credit writing for Boulder Games’ newsletter. He has written for a number of international hobby gaming periodicals and popular Web sites. From 2004-2008, he was the co-owner of Atlanta Game Factory, a brick-and-mortar retail store. He is currently the co-founder of FortressAT.com and Nohighscores.com as well as the Editor-in-Chief of Miniature Market’s Review Corner feature. He is married with two childen and when he’s not playing some kind of game he enjoys stockpiling trivial information about music, comics and film.
