Path of Light and Shadow

WILL YOU RULE WITH CRUELTY OR MERCY?They Tyrant has seized the throne, eliminating the land's monarchs and sending their rightful heirs deep into exile. Her rule is oppressive, The Realms lay divided, their former wonder lost and forgotten. You are the sons and daughters of the once great houses, you have gathered your followers, your conscripts, your army. The time has come to take back what is yours.Path of Light and Shadow is a massive empire-building experience, combining area control, deck management, and civilisation customisation. As players vie to rule The Realms, they must enlist and promote supporters, outfit their burgeoning empire with powerful technologies, align with persuasive leaders, and lay siege to the rival exiles after the throne. Above all else, each player must decide what type of leader they will become: cruel or merciful. But choose wisely, for each path has its rewards and perils.

John Company

Make a fortune in tradeBuy your way into polite societyCreate an empire abroadBuild a political machine at homeOver its 250-year history, the British East India Company grew to become one of the most influential commercial and political organizations in the world. Its profits catapulted the British Empire to global dominance and shaped the fate of some of the world's great nations, but its ascent was anything but easy. The Company was filled with diverging interests and struggled constantly at home and abroad.John Company attempts to tell the story of the British East India Company from the inside out. Players will steer their dynasties through the company's history, vying for position, power, and prestige. The goal of the game is simple: Use the Company and the Company's trade to secure your place in society back home. To this end, you guide your scions through their careers, exchanging favors for positions in London or plush colonial posts. Players collectively control the Company, facing tough budgetary decisions and conflicting interests. Should a Governor conduct a campaign to expand company holdings or invest in his region's infrastructure? Perhaps the honest tax revenues would be better diverted to expand his summer estate back home...As the game continues, the Company may face open rebellion in India or outright failure as it grapples with increasingly bold attempts at regulation from the British government. It's even possible that the Company's trade monopoly will be revoked, leaving the players to form and operate their own trading firms. Each game offers a huge range of possibilities, informed chiefly by the decisions the players make. In addition, players can tailor their experience by using one of the four tournament scenarios that can be played in about two hours each. The game also offers a full campaign game that will take players from 1720 to 1857 in an evening.Taking its inspiration from Phil Eklund's seminal Lords games, John Company offers an economic sandbox in the style of Republic of Rome, but with a fraction of the rules. With a variety of ways to learn how to play, John Company is one of the most accessible SMG offerings to date.Components: two-sided Mounted Gameboard, Rules, 120 Cubes, 30 Ships, 30 Goods, 90 Chips, 60 Cards, 10 six-sided Dice, 4 Status markers, 1 elephant pawn.

Pendragon: The Fall of Roman Britain  (COIN Series Volume VIII)

"At that time all members of the assembly, along with the proud tyrant, are blinded; such is the protection they find for their country (it was, in fact, its destruction) that those wild Saxons, of accursed name, hated by God and men, should be admitted into the island, like wolves into the folds, in order to repel the northern nations. Nothing more hurtful, certainly, nothing more bitter, happened to the island than this [...]"So wrote the Briton monk Gildas in the 6th century AD, about what befell the former Roman diocese of Britain in the 5th century, in his pamphlet De Excidio Britanniae (On the Ruin of Britain), one of very few written records of one of the most crucial periods in history, which saw the end of the Roman Empire in Britain and the sowing of the seeds of the modern nations of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany. A period most people know next to nothing about, but everyone knows of, a period of legends...Pendragon - The Fall of Roman Britain is a board game about the fall of Roman Britain, from the first large-scale raids of Irish, Pictish and Saxon raiders on the island, to the establishment of successor kingdoms, both Celtic and Germanic. It adapts GMT Games' lauded COIN Series' game system about asymmetrical conflicts to depict late Roman warfare, including raiders, fortifications, and Foederati, and boasts an evolving model of political, military, religious, and economic aspects to depict the mutations of 5th century Britain.In Pendragon, 1 to 4 players each take the roles of one or more Factions in Britain: the post-Roman army in Britain seeking to maintain imperial order; the landholding aristocracy of the Briton tribes aiming at recovering their independence while preserving their lands and wealth, the Germanic groups looking for new opportunities across the North Sea, and the non-Romanised Celtic peoples from across the Irish Sea or from the cold North eyeing the disintegrating provinces with appetite.Game ContentsOne 22x34 inch Mounted Map320 Wooden Pieces83 Playing CardsOne full-colour CountersheetRules BookletPlay Booklet9 Faction Player Aid foldoutsThree 4-sided diceFour 6-sided dice
