New Game Round-up: Crysis at Queen, Frenemies at Mayfair & Replacement Parts from the Czech Republic

In Crysis Analogue Edition: The Board Game, players will experience the empowerment of tapping into the Nanosuit's skill set as they bid to play their cards right and gain the upper hand on opponents. Along the way they'll have to adapt to ever-changing strategic situations, utilize weapons familiar from the video games, and employ tactical teamwork as they enjoy the authentic feel of Crysis combat in board game form.

Crysis Analogue Edition: The Board Game strives to recreate the intense gameplay and finely-balanced action players have come to expect from the Crysis games' multiplayer modes.

Hark, friend! Let us... help... each other. We live in a time of altruism on Catan. We give away resources to help lagging players. We move the robber to isolated locations to ensure the safety of our fellows. We even go out of our way to connect our roads with our neighbors' networks. Has everyone gone nuts?

Ah! Thanks to their beneficence, Catan's guilds reward such noble-minded behavior by handing out "Favor Tokens" (FTs). Each guild helps us in different ways: granting us roads, development cards, random resources, preferential trades, or even Victory Points.

In Catan Scenarios: Frenemies of Catan, everyone is still just in it for themselves as there is an ulterior motive for everything. In fact, sometimes you can "help a friend" while making things far worse for them.

Sigh. If goodwill really exists, it's not part of this scenario...
