New Arrivals from Gryphon Games
Bazaar, Pastiche International Edition and Empires: Builder Expansion Have Arrived
 The Sid Sackson classic, Bazaar, has arrived. Through skillful trading each player attempts to gain the right combination of colored stones from the bank to purchase the wares displayed in the Bazaar. Values of the various wares are determined by the number of stones the purchaser holds following his transaction. When all the wares from two of the stalls have been sold, the Bazaar is closed, the game ends and the player with the highest score wins! Click Here to order Bazaar!
The international edition of Pastiche adds 8 wooden easels to hold player's commission cards. It also replaces 15 commission cards from the 1st edition, and now features some of the best-known paintings found in U.S. art museums including works by Georges Seurat, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Auguste Renoir, Jan Vermeer and more! Click Here to order Pastiche International Edition!  The first ever expansion to Glenn Drover's hit game, Empires: Age of Discovery (formerly Age of Empires III). The Builder Expansion adds a new specialist, The Builder, as well as 20 new capital buildings. The expansion also increases the number of players from 5 to 6 with the addition of a full set of purple colonists. Click here to order Empires: Builder Expansion!

Caveman Curling Launches on Kickstarter.com
In Caveman Curling each team attempts to "throw" or flick their rocks, one at a time, down the frozen lake. Special objects such as hammers, which allow the rocks to be moved after the throw, and totems, which protect a thrown rock from being moved, add an extra layer of strategy to the game. Play consists of rounds, at the end of which each team or player scores a point for each of their rocks closer to the center of the cave than any of their opponent's rocks. The first team or player to six points wins! Click Here to View the Caveman Curling Project on Kickstarter.com |

Mirror, Mirror, Montage, and Can't Stop Get Rave Reviews
The reviews are in and Gryphon Games' new titles get top marks. One of BoardGameGeek.com's most popular and highly regarded reviewers, Ender Wiggins, has nothing but great things to say! Read the excerpts below or follow the links to read the full reviews. 
"What makes Mirror, Mirror really stand out is the quick play time, the high fun factor, and big-time novelty element. It's the kind of game that's easily pulled out and quickly played, and provides a really fun and yet rewarding experience for two players, offering game-play like no other game. As such it's an off-beat kind of game, yet will have a very broad appeal."

"Fact: It has an average BGG rating of 7.66 (which is higher than games like Ra, Small World, Memoir 44, and Space Alert).
Fact: Prices in the BGG Marketplace have ranged from $50 to $200, i.e. it's in demand and usually costs a premium."
Fact: There's one for sale on eBay right now for $100, which has been a typical going price for the last few years.
...brilliant, outstanding, excellent, and clever. If you enjoy word games at all, go pick this up!"

 "As far as press-your-luck dice games go, this is a tried and true classic from a master designer, that still has the same appeal as it did when it was first released 30 years ago, and that matches the best of the press-your-luck dice rolling fillers of the modern era. This is a game that belongs in nearly every collection, and Gryphon Games has done gamers around the world a real service by producing a high quality edition that should help ensure that it continues to be readily available for years to come!
