Flashpoint: Fire Rescue

I received my latest KS expansion before Xmas, so you're can't be far away

Momentary derail of thread!

I just got the new mini expansion played during the holiday and it was great! I'm working on a mini session/review and might bring it to my work group tomorrow! Enjoy,

Back to our scheduled programming  ;D

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?

I didn't even know about the Imhotep expansion. I guess that might force me to decide where I stand with Imhotep, i.e. whether I should double down and get the expansion or trade/sell the game instead. I like the game but I haven't played it for quite a while now.

I played a couple of games of Imhotep last night for the first time in over a year, including playing the B-side location spaces for the first time. We all really enjoyed it. I already have two mini-expansions yet to be tested, and since the game box is quite large, the A New Dynasty expansion should fit inside it (a nice bonus as I'm trying to save space). So I might go for this expansion too.

We have the little private ships expansions from one of the advent calendars.  We play with that all the time.  We don't have the Pharaoh's Favor or Stonemason's wager.  I believe we can play those without actually owning the expansions.  Maybe we will try them on our next go.

I have the private ships and the Stonemason's Wager, so if I get to play again with the same group, we'll definitely include those. I just found out about the Pharoah's Favor. Both the last two are available on the Geek Store but you're right in that you could just print something out to approximate them.

Endeavor: Age of Sail is coming to Kickstarter on Jan 30. It's a reimplementation of a 2009 game just called Endeavor. I don't know much about it but I like maps and sailing so that's a good start.

A couple of sequel-type games have been announced in the last couple of days and I'll be following their developments this year.

The first is Yellow and Yangtze, Reiner Knizia's new sequel to his 20-year-old masterpiece Tigris and Euphrates (one of my favourite games). It's a continuation of the recent run of Knizia games published or reprinted by Grail Games with art by Vincent Dutrait (following on from Medici, Medici: the Card Game and King's Road). Gameplay-wise, Y&Y introduces a fifth leader and fifth 'wild' cube. A BGG poster summarised the main differences between Y&Y and T&E in this post.





The second is Herbaceous Sprouts, a sequel dice game to Herbaceous, a beautiful little card game that came out last year by Pencil First Games, designed by Dr Finn with art by Beth Sobel. Herbaceous is a really clever little game that I look forward to playing with my Mum when I see her from March to May, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with dice.



Links and images from BGG and from the Herbaceous Facebook page.

Not long after I posted this, the Yellow and Yangtze announcement received the full treatment from Eric Martin in the form of a long write-up on BGG, including some interesting quotes from the publisher about certain differences between Y&Y and T&E.

August 3rd is the release date for the Imhotep expansion in English (it’s language dependent).

Thanks Nick!  I will keep my eyes out for it. 

Isle of Skye's Journeyman expansion has made it to Amazon in the US, but so far not the FLGS.  I can wait a little more and give the FLGS some love.   O:-)

jungleboy, Endeavor: Age of Sail, looks very interesting but the player count would be a challenge for us to get to the table  :(
