Fantasy Flight Games Gets Star Wars License

From the Publisher:

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce that it has entered a comprehensive licensing partnership with Lucasfilm Ltd. for the worldwide rights to publish card, roleplaying, and miniatures games set in the popular Star Wars™ universe!

”Being able to publish gaming products in the Star Wars universe is quite simply a hobby-game company’s dream come true,” said Christian T Petersen, CEO of Fantasy Flight Games. “I’m confident that both Star Wars fans as well as FFG’s regular customers will be blown away by the game experiences we have planned for this legendary IP.”

Fantasy Flight is planning a number of games in the Star Wars universe and they’ve already announced two: X-Wing and Star Wars : The Card Game

Again, from Fantasy Flight:

X-Wing is a tactical ship-to-ship combat game in which players take control of powerful Rebel X-wings and nimble Imperial TIE fighters, pitted against each other in fast-paced space combat. Featuring stunningly detailed and painted miniatures, X-Wing recreates exciting Star Wars space combat throughout its several included scenarios. Select your crew, plan your maneuvers, and complete your mission!

Star Wars: The Card Game is a cooperative card game that puts 1-4 players* in command of the Rebel strike force and mission team. Players will launch fleets of starships and direct some of the most famous heroes in the Star Wars galaxy as they confront the might of the Empire. By working together, players can fend off Imperial assaults and complete their mission, winning the game! With a wealth of characters, starships, missions, and enemies, Star Wars: The Card Game immerses players in gripping galactic conflict.

 

A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Second Edition

Fantasy Flight Games has announced that they will be reprinting one of their best loved board games, A Game of Thrones. While this is Fantasy Flights best selling game (next to Descent), they have not reprinted it in many years. Although the original two expansions will not be reprinted, the 2nd edition of the game will include some elements from them.

From the Publisher:

The updated second edition brings a host of enhancements to your A Game of Thrones experience. It includes elements from the A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords expansions, including ports, garrisons, Wildling cards, and Siege engines, while introducing welcome new innovations like player screens and Tides of Battle cards. This, along with updated graphics and a clarified ruleset, means the time has never been better to take control of Westeros.

The game will retail for $59.95 and you can preorder a copy at the shop.

Fantasy Flight Announces Elder Sign

A card game version of Arkham Horror? Yes, please!

From the publisher:
This cooperative dice game pits one to eight players against a museum’s supernatural perils as an Ancient One stirs from its elder slumber.

For years, the museum has collected rare curios and exotic artifacts. The occult power of so many powerful relics housed together has weakened the barriers between dimensions. Monsters creep into our world, and the Ancient One approaches.

Players take the roles of investigators on a desperate hunt for Elder Signs, the eldritch symbols needed to close the portals and seal away the Ancient One forever.

Elder Sign recreates the Lovecraftian thrills of eerie suspense and mind-numbing horrors. Richard Launius and Kevin Wilson, the designers of Arkham Horror, blend rules, card text, and innovative dice mechanics to form a game that’s already generating a buzz.

New Arrivals – June 15 2011

LotR LCG – Hunt for Gollum Preview Event

Subscribe and get 10% off!

The Haunted Game Cafe is proud to announce our new Subscription program. When you subscribe, we automatically pull a copy of each expansion as it is released specially for you.  In addition, we’ll give you 10% off the price.

We’ll be starting our Subscription program with Fantasy Flight’s Living Card Game series. Lord of the Rings, Warhammer Invasion, Game of Thrones and Call of Cthulhu all have regularly released expansion packs.

Fantasy Flight describes a Living Card Game this way:

“A Living Card Game® (LCG®) offers an innovative fixed distribution method that breaks away from the traditional Collectible Card Game model. While LCGs still offer the same dynamic, expanding, and constantly evolving game play that makes CCG’s so much fun, they do away with the deterrent of the blind-buy purchase model that has burned out so many players. The end result is an innovative mix that gives you the best of both worlds!”

Since Lord of the Rings was just released, now would be a great time to start your subscription!
