Fantasy Flight Games Announces Titles for September 2011

Fantasy Flight Games Announces Titles for September 2011
Board Game: Elder Sign
U.S. publisher Fantasy Flight Games has announced its list of scheduled releases for September 2011, with the list featuring a typical mix of one new game, one somewhat new game with a twist, Living Card Game expansions, and a few other expansions. In that order, the items are:

• Elder Sign – a cooperative dice game from the designers of Arkham Horror set in the same Lovecraftian universe.

• Dust Tactics: Revised Core Set – a standalone core set that features all-new miniatures, which means that a new player could purchase this and have everything needed to play while an experienced DT player could use the set as an expansion.
• Dust Tactics: Terrain Tile Pack
• Dust Tactics: Unit Card Upgrade Pack

• Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game - Conspiracies of Chaos
• Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game - Curse of the Jade Emperor
• The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game - The Dead Marshes
• Warhammer: Invasion - Realm of the Phoenix King

• Talisman (Fourth Edition): The Dragon Expansion
• Tannhäuser: Mizu

Three notes about FFG releases:

1. The publisher has reduced the price of Gears of War: The Board Game from $80 to $70 and the price of the new version of Red November from $35 to $30.

2. Fantasy Flight will no longer distribute the Wings of War series from Nexus Games in the U.S. and elsewhere. Instead Nexus – which is now self-distributing releases such as Letters from Whitechapel and Dakota – will handle future WoW releases as well as reprints of previously released titles once FFG runs out of stock already on hand.

3. One expected expansion is missing from the list above – a new chapter pack for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game. I'll look into this...
