So. For some, this week marks the end of the wait. Agricola has arrived in full English form. Z-man has also blessed us with what may be a decent replacement for the sadly now out-of-print Bang! [Shadow Hunters].

The farming game of 2008 is here. This isn't the Grain Growing Game. It isn't the Farming Game. This is the darling of 2007 Essen, and currently loved (or scorned) by the BGG community.

But, is it a good game for all the hype?



yes, it is. Using a worker placement mechanism, Agricola is all about keeping your family fed while trying to expand as much as you are able. It has 300 cards of which you will use 14 per player, resulting in a huge variation of play and gameflow. Highly recommended, and worth the rather hefty price tag.

$70.00
Best described as a different twist on BANG!
Each player has a secret identity - either a member of the Shadow, Hunter or Neutral faction. Each has a win condition and a special ability (and you need to be revealed to use your special ability). The object is to suss out your enemies and find your allies. You do this by visiting different locations which give the ability to draw cards to help in determining the identity of the other players. Good for a large group of players.

Not convinced that Time's up Deluxe is for you? Since you already own Time's up and all the expansions? How about a twist?

This is a good one - Movies... TV Shows... Songs... Books... Fine Art... Plays... and much more! Titles, not celebreties. Perfect for me. Because I don't know people.

$19.99
With a small pond and an increasing population you must guard your territory if you want to survive. Rally your Army of Frogs into one troop and win the fight for territory. Army of Frogs is a board-less, strategic, 2-4 player game. It is played with tactile frog tiles. The goal of the game is to connect your army of frogs. By using tactical maneuvering and strategic placement of both yours and your opponent's frogs tiles, a minimum of 7 frogs must be connected into one continuous unit.

$40.00
Welcome to the world of Murder Mysteries. You like dark affairs, somewhat twisted plots, mystery, uncertain motives and bulletproof alibis? Stop being nothing more than a spectator - this time, you're the one leading the investigation! Put aside an evening, call up a bunch of friends, hand out the roles and the action can start. A murder was committed and the Assassin is here tonight. Yet, who is it???

$34.95
You USED to be a police officer, fireman, nurse, etc., but NOW you are a zombie and these pesky humans keep trying to kill you. But why? All you want is some nice, delicious brains. They have plenty. Perhaps if you infected more humans, it wouldn't be such a problem...In Humans!!! you choose to be a Zombie. You have some abilities due to your new found "state of being." Other abilites are determined based on your "pre-zombie" occupation. Now your job is to wander around town trying to infect as many people as you can. You know, to help with your cause! This game can be played by itself or combined with the Zombies!!! game. If combined with Zombies!!! players choose to play the humans or the zombies and try to accomplish their goals based on their particular winning condition.
