Time Block A: Fri 7:00PM

Euro Style Board/Card Games

AE-215 Stone Age by Pamela Hendrix, 2 hrs, Table B3, 4 players, Game, Some Gaming Regular Stone Age for big fun! Take a turn as Og and visit the Love Shack! Get your ugh! on!

AE-265 Thurn and Taxis by ConQuest Staff, 2 hrs, Table B8, 4 players, Game, Newcomers In Thurn & Taxis, players build post office routes across Bavaria and the regions around, collecting bonus points in various ways. The board shows a map of all the towns, with roads leading from each one to some of its neighbors. There are various colored regions around the board, most with one or two towns, and a large region with all the Bavarian towns in the center. From a display of six city cards (or the top of the deck), you draw one or two cards each turn, add one or two to your route, and score for it if you're ready to score. The fact that you *must* add at least one city to your route each turn or lose the whole route gives the game an enjoyable planning element.

AE-266 Kingsburg by ConQuest Staff, 2 hrs, Table B7, 5 players, Game, Kids OK In Kingsburg, players are Lords sent from the King to administer frontier territories. The game takes place over five years, a total of 20 turns. In every year, there are 3 production seasons for collecting resources, building structures, and training troops. Every fourth turn is the winter, in which all the players must fight an invading army. Each player must face the invaders, so this is not a cooperative game. The resources to build structures and train troops are collected by influencing the advisers in the King's Council. Players place their influence dice on members of the Council. The player with the lowest influence dice sum will be the first one to choose where to spend his/her influence; this acts as a way of balancing poor dice rolling. Even with a very unlucky roll, a clever player can still come out

from the Council with a good number of resources and/or soldiers.

AE-289 7 Wonders by Richard Irving, 2 hrs, Table B4, 7 players, Game, Kids OK, Character/Armies Supplied Play the new hit from Essen '10 where you build a civilization in less than a hour. Each turn you build one card from your hand and pass the rest to your neighbor, trying to develop the best civilization including trade, science, military and the Wonders of the World.

AE-298 Through the Ages by Jeff Jackson, 4.5 hrs, Tables B5 & B6, 8 players, Game, Some Gaming Through the Ages is a civilization building game. The goal is to develop your civilization, not to destroy other ones. Military strength is just one aspect of your nation, as well as population, production or science. It is up to you which aspect you will concentrate on, more or less, but you should not underestimate any of them while building your civilization. Victory is achieved by the player whose nation produces the most culture during the game. However, there are many ways to produce culture: through religion, literature or drama, by building wonders, by utilizing cultural persons etc. Considerable amount of culture can be gained even via wars or aggression.

Time Block B: Fri 9:30PM


BE-267 Alea Iacta Est by ConQuest Staff, 2 hrs, Table B8, 5 players, Game, Kids OK Players take on the role of Caesar and compete for the most prestige points. This happens by clever placement of his/her eight dice, which are placed on five different buildings. At the Castrum (barracks), new provinces can be conquered, while patricians can be recruited at the Forum Romanum to be sent to those provinces. At the Senatus, cards can be won for bonuses that will be kept secret until the end of the game. The Templum awards prestige points directly from the Goddess Fortuna. Each die that does not win any of these ends the round at the

Latrina, where it provides its owner with a “repete!” chip, which can be used to re-roll dice or can be traded in two-to-one for prestige points at the end of the game. Each building has special rules as to how the dice can be placed, allowing many tactical possibilities with any roll of the dice. Each round ends when one player has placed his/her last die, and after 5 rounds (6 rounds with 2-3 players), the patricians are organized in their provinces, the senate cards are revealed, and the scores are totaled. The player with the most prestige points wins!

BE-268 China by ConQuest Staff, 2 hrs, Table B7, 5 players, Game, Newcomers, Character/Armies Supplied This fascinating game of domination combines multiple tactical possibilities with simple-to-learn rules and a short playing time! Even today in China, the unmistakable evidence of a fascinating story is everywhere. Hundreds of years ago, the country teetered on the brink of a change in power. Regional rulers fought continuously with each other with only one goal in mind: to become the new Emperor. They erected imposing houses and sent their emissaries to the regional courts. China is an abstracted game of political influence in China. Players use cards to place pieces (Houses or Emissaries) into the nine regions on the board. When all house spaces in a region are filled (or at the end of the game), players score for majorities of houses in that region. At game end, players then score for having majorities of emissaries in two adjacent regions. Players also score for having four or more houses in an uninterrupted sequence along one of the roads on the board.

BE-290 Carabande by Richard Irving, 2 hrs, Tables B3 and B4, 10 players, Game, Kids OK, Character/Armies Supplied Win this crazy race where you flick your car (OK, it's a disk really) around treacherous curves, over perilous ramps and over the terrifying jump!

HE-299 Dominant Species by Jeff Jackson, 4.5 hrs, Table B3, 6 players, Game, Some Gaming 90,000 B.C. -- A great ice age is fast approaching. Another titanic struggle for global supremacy has unwittingly commenced between the varying animal species. Dominant Species is a game that abstractly recreates a tiny portion of ancient history: the ponderous encroachment of an ice age and what that entails for the living creatures trying to adapt to the slowly-changing earth. Each player will assume the role of one of six major animal classes -- mammal, reptile, bird, amphibian, arachnid or insect. Each begins the game more or less in a state of natural balance in relation to one another. But that won’t last: It is indeed "survival of the fittest." Through wily action pawn placement, players will strive to become dominant on as many different terrain tiles as possible in order to claim powerful card effects. Players will also want to propagate their individual species in order to earn victory points for their particular animal. Players will be aided in these endeavors via speciation, migration and adaptation actions, among others. All of this eventually leads to the end game -- the final ascent of the ice age -- where the player having accumulated the most victory points will have his animal crowned the Dominant Species. But somebody better become dominant quickly, because it’s getting mighty cold....
