For 2015, the Lamonts have set their sights even bigger — and pointier — by threatening/promising a game that "features the most ludicrous boardgame piece ever", one so ludicrous that they had to invent a new box size and rent a larger stand at Spiel 2015. As for what that piece is, they have not yet revealed details, but they have passed along a pic of this pointy fellow, along with a brief description of A Game of Gnomes:
Quote:
You are a gnome — small in stature but large in heart. Your craving for adventure is matched only by your desire for treasure and your love of mushrooms. You are a fun guy (ahem).
Anyway, it's time to leave the protection of your beautiful gnomehome and seek your fortune in faraway places. Gnome and away. Will you sail a leaf boat down the river, climb Mount Gnome, and pick the rare but valuable Montane King mushroom? Or visit the frightening Sorcerer and carry out his quests? Or just buy and sell mushrooms, wear sensible footwear, and travel the known world? Perhaps a proper basket and a proper rucksack are in order?
It's time to fix your pointy hat. It's time to comb your beard. It's time to ready your pond pipes. It's time for...A Game of Gnomes.
Winter is numbing...
And as always, the Lamonts are taking preorders on the Fragor Games website for their Spiel release prior to releasing rules or many details about the game. Such is their way. Gordon Lamont says that they're accepting preorders for up to one thousand games, with the print run guaranteed to be at least 1,170 copies to give them some flexibility. A Game of Gnomes retails for €80, with a €20 deposit required for the preorder; games can be picked up at Spiel 2015 or mailed to Europe, Australia or North America.
