Travel Blog
Autor: Vlaada Chvátil
Players: 2 – 6
Time: 25 mins
Age: 8+
Description:
Some people love to travel. Others love to read about traveling. Imagine an Internet magazine designed to bring these people together. Would you like to join ranks of their travelbloggers?
Travel Blog is a swift and thrilling game about travelling. Your task is to pick a country or countries most suitable for your trip and to do it faster than your opponents. How many borders do you cross on your trip from France to Russia? Is it more or less than from Norway to Turkey? Detailed knowledge of the map is an advantage, but can be easily beaten by good intuition and fast decision making.
The interesting facts about 100 countries and states are here just as a bonus. This is not a trivia game – Travel Blog keeps to be fun even if you get pretty familiar with the maps. And you can bet you will, after a few games.

Description:
The New Frontier contains several new expansions for Space Alert. These can be used individually or in combination to provide variety, challenge, and new modes of play.
New Threats
Looking for foes with new powers? These threats phase in and out of reality, hide behind megashields, or fry your crew with plasma weapons.
Red Threats
Looking for more danger? The red threats include colossally large ships, cunning intruders, and all manner of dirty tricks.
Double Actions
Have you mastered the art of efficient planning? Double action cards allow you two actions per turn. And you will need those extra actions if you fly the missions on the new CD.
Specialisations
How would you like to launch two rockets at once? Or keep an injured crewmate conscious? Or repair damage to your ship in flight? Specializations give your crew more ways to heroically save the ship.
Experience System
Would you like to track your space exploration career? The experience system allows you to record your greatest feats, while rewarding you with new skills.

Preorder
For this year’s Essen we have provided enough copies of our games, that we can be sure they won’t run out on Thursday or Friday. That’s why you don’t have to reserve our games in advance, just visit our booth 4-310. However we recommend not to hesitate too much, it’s still possible we would run out of one or more games during the week-end.
