Czech Games Edition

When you try to draw a squirrel, does it look like a weasel with a bushy tail? Congratulations! You draw well enough to play Pictomania.
In Pictomania each player is assigned a word to draw. Your goal is to guess the other players’ words while drawing your own. That’s right: Everyone is drawing and guessing simultaneously! No one has time to draw a complex masterpiece. The player who can sketch the essence of a word with a few lines will have more time to figure out the other players’ drawings.

New drawing game by Vlaada Chvátil. It’s for 3-6 players, 8+ years old with a playing time of 30-45 minutes.

The game will be ready for Essen 2011 and after that it will be available from our partners.

Galaxy Trucker – Another Big Expansion. Just as big as the previous one. New tiles. New Support team to be hired to enhance your shipbuilding experience. New ship classes, including huge IVB ships. Yes, you may also fly round IV, and you can be sure that the cards are extra nasty there. Especially the intruders that board your ship, wander around and eat or blow up your stuff, unless your heroic crew beats them. Wait… that’s a different game, right? Aren’t we rather speaking about Space Alert now? Well… it seems this “lets board a ship and eat its crew” mode spreads prety fast in the known universe these days, as with this expansion, it can happen also in Galaxy Trucker.

Unfortuatelly, the game will be not ready for Essen 2011. It will be available later this fall from our partners.

Become the leader of imp family that has just started a new business – breeding and selling petz. Sound simple and safe? Well, we forgot to mention that those petz are for Dungeon Lords.

Sometimes you are even glad that you got rid of them. But the profit is unbelievable.
