Boss Monster is coming back to the tabletop, and this time we're taking it to The Next Level!

Boss Monster 2: The Next Level is a full-sized, 160 card set that returns you to the world of Arcadia where the bad are good and the good are dinner. Just like the original Boss Monster, you'll take the role of the boss at the end of a retro-style video game dungeon, competing against other bosses to build a dungeon that will lure in questing heroes and destroy them. You can play Boss Monster 2 on its own, or combine the set with the original Boss Monster cards for a truly epic experience!

What's New?

Boss Monster 2 is an all-new set with more Bosses, more card variety, and more ways to crush puny Heroes! Here are just a few of the things that make it our favorite Boss Monster experience yet:

Dark Heroes -- the Hitman, Barbarian, Witch, and Vampire -- can be "paid" to deal more damage to an opponent.
Hybrid Heroes -- the Swordmage, Druid, Archer and Necromancer -- are drawn to two treasure types and feature powerful abilities.
Epic Spells -- like Lightning Bolt! and It's On! -- give you the option to unlock more powerful effects if you meet a prerequisite.
More cross-table effects, like "cycling" Rooms let you discard cards to affect an opponent's dungeon.
More access to Spells, through Cleric Rooms as well as Mage Rooms.
...and more! Boss Monster 2 features more overall variety and fewer duplicate cards, to keep the game fresh after dozens of plays.
If you're an experienced dungeon-builder, Boss Monster gives you all-new tools and more ways to interact with your opponents. But if this is your first time playing Boss Monster, it retains the accessibility and ease of play that made the original a hit.

In a world very much like our own, Millennium Blades is the world's most popular collectible card game. Continuously in print for more than a thousand years, the game has seen thousands of expansions and billions of cards.

Players from around the world seek to become world champions by mastering duels and collecting the game's rarest and most coveted cards. Still others live by the game, building financial empires by dealing, speculating, and trading in the aftermarket. Many are content simply to play for fun and meet new friends.

Your very own Millennium Blades Legend is about to unfold! What will be your path to glory? With your starter deck in hand and a dream in your heart, the time has come to step boldly into the world of Millennium Blades!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Millennium Blades is a board game about a fictional collectible card game, which is also called Millennium Blades. You begin the game on pre-release night with just your starter deck. You'll open new packs, form collections, and sell your junk cards on the aftermarket to buy hot new cards. Trade with your friends, build up your deck, and prepare to compete at Millennium Blades Worlds for the title of World Champion!

We've all been touched by the magic of Collectible Card Games—from the thrill of opening packs and discovering that ultra-rare card, to the excitement of waiting on pre-release night to see what hidden gems a new set holds, to the tension of sitting with baited breath to see your opponent's play in the final round of the tournament. Millennium Blades captures that magic and distills it down to a single-game session.

Card Games create their own world and their own culture for us to explore, and continue to reward players who delve deeper and deeper into these worlds. These games are about discovery, social interaction, and fun–what could be a better topic to use as the basis for a board game!?

Cuisine a la Card is a competitive deck building card game for 2-4 players. Play as chefs, crafting the finest meals out of the ingredients available to you, and submitting those meals to discerning and capricious judges for Medals. In this intense world of culinary competition, Tasting Spoons are your currency, your Warming Tray may be your greatest asset or your worst nightmare, and a simple dash of Salt may just be what you need to tip the balance in your favor and win the game.

Cuisine a la Card is a deeply strategic game, wrapped in a simple, easy to understand shell. It offers quick playing time with deep mechanics and an accessibility that appeals to both heavy and casual gamers alike.

Players play by taking their starting decks, and using that to purchase Ingredients from the Marketplace, located between them. As the game continues, Players may choose to place some Ingredients into their Warming Tray. Once this occurs, Players may be able to use some of their cards' abilities to Steal, Swap, or Discard those Ingredients in the Warming Tray. When a Player is able to submit a Meal to a Judge, they may use any or all of the Ingredients placed in their Warming Tray to boost their Meal Points and earn Medals from the Judge.

Once scored, Judges are then removed and replaced, and their requirements may change, so Players have to constantly adjust their deck-building strategies to ensure they have the best meals to submit to the Judges.

Play continues until one of the Players has reach at least 15 Medals, but tables can quickly turn, and Players may find themselves in close competition all the way to the end.

Fantasy Coins and Bars

If you are looking for metal coins to replace cardboard ones, then here's a Kickstarter for you.

Wow, those are nice!

[Marc Bendig]

I am probably going to get some of these, and they are cheaper the more you buy, so if anyone wants to do a combined order, message me.
After playing with the metal coins in Viticulture, I just can't deny how satisfying real metal coins are. Just a really nice physical object to round out the experience.

I note they do both sets with 10 of each of a given 3-coin set, or just 30 of a single type of coin, so you can mix and match if a given set has one coin you just don't like the look of.

[NeikeDjour]

I'm probably going to get a bunch as well.

There's a Kickstarter for licensed King of Tokyo and King of New York t-shirts here.

I've seen the "You Can't [Heart] In Tokyo" shirts, before, as I think they sell/give them away at conventions at promos. But I haven't seen them for sale, before. Very tempting - especially the "I [Claw] NY" shirt...though the Tokyo one is tempting, too...and Captain Fish.

B-Sieged: Sons of the Abyss is a fully cooperative castle defense board game that combines exciting combat action with classic resource management. In this thrilling defensive battle, 1 to 6 players control the mighty Heroes of Modhelm, who must fight back the encroaching Abyssal hordes, and endure until salvation arrives! B-Sieged comes with 70 highly detailed, pre-assembled miniatures including 6 Heroes and the unstoppable hordes of the Abyss. Each player takes control of a number of Heroes while the encroaching Abyssal forces are controlled by the game itself.

In B-Sieged, players must cooperate to defend the Citadel of Modhelm. Dark forces have surrounded the city and the entire realm will drown in flames if the Abyssal Hordes aren't stopped! The Council has tasked the Messenger with escaping the siege to retrieve an ancient magic artifact that will break the enemy forces. The Citadel must endure the onslaught until the Messenger returns, and it's the Heroes' task to keep the Messenger safe and defend the Citadel.

During their turn, Heroes may take 3 actions. They can spend these actions to visit the various buildings inside the Citadel to get resources (such as Food, Gold, Special Abilities, and Cards), repair damaged buildings, trade cards, fight Enemies from the walls, or try to use the powerful catapult at the center of the Citadel. The Heroes must coordinate their actions well to share resources, gather vital supplies, and survive the siege.

After the Heroes have acted, it's the Monsters' turn. Each monster figure on the board will activate and perform their actions according to its rank. Mölens, the Heavy Units, will attack directly from Zone 3 and damage all Heroes and buildings in the Quarter they face. Gargohs, the Support Units, will advance towards Zone 2 and, once there, they'll hit all Heroes in the Quarter they face. The Assault Units, the Krohns, will advance towards Zone 1, and once there, they'll attack the Heroes on the wall and try to break into the Citadel.

I was really tempted to get in on Orcs Must Die! but after watching some of the videos, I'm not feeling too confident I'd actually enjoy the game. I am definitely interested in getting coins, so if people are throwing together a bulk order, I'll get in on that. I know I have at least three games that could benefit...
