2017-06-232017 Titles
Dear gamers,
Let's have a look what we are preparing for you this year:
A book from Galaxy Trucker Universe, Through the Ages and Codenames digital apps for your mobile device, and of course, more board games!
One at a time...
Gen Con – Indianapolis, IN – August 17th to 20th – Room 232
The CGE team will be there to happily show you our first two titles of this year along with all of our other products.
Vlaada Chvátil & Scot Eaton / 2 players (or more) / 15 min / 11+
This new member of the Codenames family is a cooperative game for two or more players. You and your partner are on a secret mission in a crowded city. Your objective: to contact 15 agents while avoiding a band of enemy assassins.
Vlaada Chvátil / 2–6 players / 30 min / 15+
Another fun inducing party game from Vlaada Chvátil. This time, you need to think about your fellow players' desires and wishes. Can you ask the right question?
Despite the theme of the game being a shooter, Adrenaline is a solid Euro game with resource management and area control game elements. Players move around the map collecting weapons, ammo, and powerups in order to shoot other players and score frag points when they die. The winner is the player that has the most Frag Points at the end of the game.
Spiel'17 in Essen, Germany – October 26th to 29th
Vladimír Suchý / 2–4 players
A new euro style game from Vladimír Suchý, author of The Prodigals Club, Last Will, and Shipyard. Far, far away in a galaxy, players are exploring space, building megastructures, and discovering alien technologies. This game uses dice in a very unique way and has many routes to victory.
We are also working on expansions for your favorite titles. We would like to give them as much care and love as we feel they deserve, that's why we won’t be rushing them. Maybe they will be released for Spiel'17 in Essen, maybe later on.
Adrenaline expansion
The expansion to the 2016 hit game adds a 6th layer and introduces a new team mode with simultaneous play, character-specific weapons and gadgets, and new damage mechanics.
Tash-Kalar expansion deck
This 3rd expansion to Vlaada's tactical combat game brings a new faction to the arena of Tash-Kalar. The new mechanic (Warp Effect) allows you to use the effect of a being, that will be summoned in the future, right now.
As you may already know we don't just publish physical board games.
This year it was our first experience with a novel:
Galaxy Trucker: Rocky Road (a novel by Jason A. Holt)
This book tells the story of a woman and an alien trying to deliver a load of sewer pipes. It's set in Vlaada Chvátil's goofy Galaxy Trucker universe, so you know it's gonna be funny. It's also kinda sweet.
The book was released at Tabletop Day and the ebook is coming soon!
And last but not least, digital apps for the mobile device. We will let you know the exact release date once the games are ready.
Through the Ages
The new edition of the strategy classic enters the Digital Age.
Codenames
The Boardgamegeek #1 party game is going online.
