Just another nerd.
So Red November is this fun little cooperative board game. You and the other players are the crew onboard a gnomish submarine that is floundering and you need to race around to the various compartments putting out fires and performing repairs until help arrives.
Apparently the game was popular enough that Fantasy Flight is coming out with a full-sized version of the game including a much larger board, cards to replace some of the small tokens, and revised and clarified rules. Can’t wait.
Fantasy Flight Games has released Arkham Horror Toolkit — an iOS app for Arkham Horror designed to take care of some of the overhead with playing that game,
The app has gotten fairly good reviews, but one of the issues to be cognizant of is that buying the $2.99 app give you the toolkit for managing investigators, locations, etc. for the main game but not for the various expansions.
To enable the expansions in the app, the user has to enable each of the expansions with an in-app purchase. Full blown expansions, such Dunwich Horror, are $1.99, while smaller expansions, such as The King in Yellow, are $.99. Still, if you want to enable all of the expansions, you’re looking at a total cost of $12.92.
Seems kind of steep, but on the other hand I know if they had an Android version of this I’d pay that in a heartbeat.
Intended for use in its Call of Cthulhu CCG, Fantasy Flight Games will be releasing its Bag of Cthulhu in April.
First introduced in our Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game Core Set, we are making available this April our Bag of Cthulhu. Included in the Bag of Cthulhu, are six large Cthulhu figures (55mm) and 24 small figures (20mm). These miniature statues of Cthulhu are beautifully carved accessories that can be used as extra domain markers and success tokens for your Call of Cthulhu LCG games, or they can be used to ornament any game which incorporates eldritch horror.
Unlike the six specimens found in the Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game Core Set, the figures in the Bag of Cthulhu have been delicately inkwashed to ensure that you can spot every non-euclidian detail of these little gems.
These things look pretty cool for just $14.95 for the 6 large and 24 small figures,
Fantasy Flight Games announced that Innsmouth Horror will be the next full box expansion for Arkham Horror. I think I’m going to need a larger dining room table.
Red November is an amusing concept for a boardgame. The players are onboard an experimental gnomish submarine that has gone haywire and must find a way to stay alive until rescuers can arrive. Cooperative boardgames FTW.
