This newcomer fancies himself a historian; always telling stories about how our people used to live, or how some great hero from the past would deal with the crisis of the hour. It seems silly to say, but it makes the horrors around us seem more manageable; like we've beaten them before. The victory that recently seemed hopeless has become conceivable.

I wonder how much truth there is in these fables. Could anyone really fabricate wondrous items like we hear about in legends? Command wild animals to do their bidding? Craft servants out of light and shadow? I've never seen such things, but I've heard of them, in tales of old...

In Tales of Old, the fourth expansion to Jeremy Lennert's Darkest Night, sends your heroes racing across the kingdom to unravel the mysteries of the holy relics' resting places.

Instead of searching for keys, you now draw Mystery cards that reveal how to obtain clues to the relic's location, and perhaps some other rewards. These mysteries may lead you to explore the depths of ancient catacombs teeming with traps, or encounter an antique trader willing to part with old scrolls for the right price.

Gather your knowledge, courage, and strength as you uncover the kingdom's secrets in the hopes of vanquishing darkness once and for all...

Work together to defend a ring of frontier space stations against a variety of growing dangers. Upgrade your systems wisely to maintain a steady flow of the vital resources you'll need to survive, and allocate them carefully to keep nearby threats in check.

Frontier Stations is a game for 3 to 6 players working together to confront an onslaught of perils. Each player must build up their station, making it better able to deal with the wide variety of threats and function optimally with its two neighboring stations.

Can you and your confederates around the table hold the line against all enemies, alien and domestic? Somebody must keep vigil and protect civilization; are you up to the challenge?

Another homestead overrun; the farmer's face was bleak as he told the tale. The broad strokes of the story were well-familiar, but the details were new: a previously-unseen power in the Necromancer's dark arsenal. It seems his power grows daily.

The hero listened without saying a word, but his eyes blazed with fury. There was no question of our response...

From the Abyss, the third expansion for Darkest Night, provides the Necromancer with an array of sinister new abilities. It also adds the Channeler, Exorcist, Mesmer, and Valkyrie as new playable heroes; new Event and Artifact cards; as well as a new card type, Darkness cards. From the Abyss can be combined with either or both of the previous expansions, or used separately.

Grab your digging tools and prepare for Gem Rush, an easy-to-learn, 1-6 player blitz to build a magical gem mine. Use your gem cards to construct new rooms, and use the rooms to replenish your gems. Race your friends for fortune in rush mode, or work together to save the mine in crisis mode. Either way, you've got to dig fast and manage your gems carefully.

A typical card includes two gemstones; you can count it as either – or as both if you can find the right spot to use them. The game board changes each time you play as the playing area is constructed out of modular room tiles, each with different abilities and different opportunities for further construction.

Get your mining picks ready and dig up Gem Rush today!

A new wave of refugees arrived yesterday, telling tales of hordes of shades overwhelming their homesteads. I immediately sent word to the Prince, though I don’t know if he can do anything for them. The monastery is now abuzz with word of a stranger who arrived this morning. Though his countenance was grave, he shone with an inner light…

Tensions mount in the war for the crown, and both sides are turning to new tactics and strange allies. Battlefields are haunted by ghosts, buffeted by invisible forces and wracked by lightning. Armies march under the auspice of statues, and secure formations are breached by attacks from odd directions. Which side will best master these new devices and capture the enemy sovereign?

Darkest Night, by designer Jeremy Lennert, is a fully-cooperative board game for one to four players (up to six with variants), set in a kingdom broken under a necromancer’s shadow. Each player takes on the role of one of the kingdom’s last heroes (nine playable characters), each with a unique set of special abilities, just as they hatch a plan to save the realm.

Searching the kingdom provides new powers and equipment to strengthen you and your party, as well as the keys that can unlock the holy relics and defeat the necromancer. You can acquire many powerful abilities—unique to each hero—that can help to fight the undead, elude the necromancer’s forces, accelerate your searches for items and artifacts, and more. The knight is a brave and powerful warrior; the prince can rally and inspire the people; the scholar excels at locating and restoring the treasures of the past.

But ravenous undead roam the realm, and as the necromancer continues to build his power base, he blights the land and his army steadily grows. As the game wears on, the necromancer becomes more and more powerful, creating blights more quickly and effectively. If an area becomes too blighted, it gets overrun—and the monastery receives the spillover. And if the monastery is ever overrun, the necromancer wins and the kingdom is swallowed in darkness!

Before the monastery falls, it's up to you and your party to defeat the necromancer in one of two ways: If you can gather three holy relics and bring them all back to the monastery, you can perform a powerful ritual to break the necromancer’s power and scour the land of the undead. Alternatively, you can try to defeat the necromancer in direct combat—but be warned, he will readily sacrifice his minions to save himself.

Can you save the kingdom from darkness? Do you have the courage, the cunning and the will to withstand the necromancer and his forces? Strategize, plan and bring out the best of your abilities to end our Darkest Night!

Game Data:

Complexity: 4.5 on a 9 scale
Solitaire Suitability: 9 on a 9 scale
Scale: Each unit represents a Hero, the Necromancer or blights in a guerilla war over a small kingdom. Each round represents approximately several days to a week.

It's spreading. What started as a petty feud has grown to engulf the nation, and even the most stoic spectators are now picking sides. And as the scope of the conflict changes, so must the strategy; each contender must learn to command larger armies and coordinate with new allies. This is truly a time where strong leadership could turn the tide of history...

For the Crown, by designer Jeremy Lennert, introduces All the King's Men, a four-player variant pack!

All the King's Men introduces two new variants: The Extended Game and the Team Game. The Extended Game (2-player) uses extra cards, with two options to play an extended game with a friend. The Team Game allows four players to play a single game, in two teams of two!

Note, the For the Crown: All the King's Men is not a ‘stand alone’ game. You must own a copy of For the Crown Second Edition to use this variant pack. This variant cannot be used with the first edition of For the Crown.

Civil war has broken out between two royal brothers over the succession of the kingdom, and the people of a once-peaceful nation must choose sides and rush to war. Even when the sun goes down, the war for the crown does not cease. While the battle rages on during the day, both princes and their armies still hope to catch the other unawares under the blanket of darkness. Neither side is safe even then, however, and so both princes are well prepared - they've gone through lengths to recruit special units to surprise their enemy, including a Phantom to cloak itself and hopefully use the darkness to its advantage in order to capture the rival King and Heirs.

In For the Crown, you must gather key resources, train an army from scratch, and capture the rival King and Heirs to prove your claim to the throne!
