Archmage Gets a Street Date! -Update!

Archmage Gets a Street Date! -Update!

Today we got word that Starling Games' much anticipated Archmage finally has a street date. The game will be available at retailers on Sept. 28, 2018. This is of course post Gen Con, which is a bit of a disappointment (I'm sure Starling is not excited about it either!), but we at least have a date to look forward to, and from what we've seen of Archmage it should be worth the wait!

Are you a backer? Are you a curious bystander? Want to see a little more about Archmage? We interviewed the designer Tim Heerema at Origins and he showed off the game on Facebook live. Read on to see that video and more!!

Featured campaign!

oddball Aeronauts 2: Double the Trouble - Maverick Muse Games

This expansion of the original oddball Aeronauts brings two new factions into this battle of dirigibles. oddball Aeronauts 2 acts not only as an expansion, but as a stand alone version of the base game. The biggest, newest feature of the expansion is that you can now play 3 and 4 player games in two new variations of the game -both are pretty fun. We'll be reviewing this title momentarily and you can read our preview of the original game here.

Lanterns: The Harvest Festival - Foxtrot Games

In Lanterns you'll play the part of an artisan charged with decorating the lake for the Harvest Festival in Imperial China.

Wait... October? This year is flying by very quickly, but the good news is that means there are a lot of great campaigns that are finally hitting doorsteps everywhere. Now let's talk about some more great campaigns that we're looking forward to seeing on shelves soon!

Featured Campaign-

Dead Drop - Crash Games

This micro game comes from our good friend Jason Kotarski, and is the latest in the Pub Game Series from Crash Games. Dead Drop is a game of deduction and deception. The game features just 13 cards, as players play as spies looking to pick up the "Dead Drop" by deducing and correctly guessing which card is the drop. This is an inexpensive game to get in on, and we'll be reviewing it very soon--it's a LOT of fun! We recommend you back it!
