Fireside Games Incites Panic over The Dark Titan, Adds Chaos to Bears & Encourages Witchcraft in The Village Crone

Fireside Games Incites Panic over The Dark Titan, Adds Chaos to Bears & Encourages Witchcraft in The Village Crone
Board Game: Castle Panic: The Dark Titan
In 2015 U.S. publisher Fireside Games plans to release two expansions for existing titles and one new title, starting with Castle Panic: The Dark Titan on April 1, 2015. This expansion adds new monsters, new castle deck cards, plague tokens, support tokens, and The Dark Titan Agranok, a huge monster that has five different difficulty levels so that you can start easy and work your way up to full strength. Designer Justin De Witt shows off everything in the box in this demo video:



Board Game: Bears!: Trail Mix'd
• Bears! Trail Mix'd is an expansion for Anne-Marie De Witt's dice game Bears! that adds a new die which is rolled at the start of each round and puts a new rule into effect. One round you're scoring double for runners, the next your rerolls are limited — or maybe you're trying for bonus points by shooting the most bears. Watch it, bears.

• Anne-Marie De Witt is also the designer of The Village Crone, a 1-6 player game with a $50 MSRP that's due out Q4 2015. Here's a short rundown of the gameplay:

Quote:
Become a witch and enter the medieval world of Wickersby in this worker placement, resource management game with spellcasting! Make villagers fall in love, turn them into frogs, or teleport them to different locations. Use your familiars to gather ingredients and cast spells on the villagers to achieve goals and score victory points as you vie to be named the village crone.

The Village Crone includes a modular game board as well as rules for solitaire play.
