![New Game Round-up: Old Games Made New — Acquire, RoboRally, Order of the Gilded Compass & Ghostbusters: Protect the Barrier Game](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/fqJimor7IWu49rbdgF7b3w__medium/img/EAThSZu3eN70YwdgSQi4lRoUYTo=/fit-in/500x500/filters:no_upscale():strip_icc()/pic3039023.jpg)
Ghostbusters: Protect the Barrier Game includes four ways to play: Basic Battle, Basic Battle with Rowan, Advanced Adventure, and Advanced Adventure with Rowan. Designer Yu tells me that Rowan is a special ghost figure included in this version that cannot be killed. When Rowan's card comes up in the deck, you draw the next card, then move it to that room. If that room becomes a haunting due to the number of ghosts in it, Rowan automatically moves to the next room.
• Grey Fox Games plans to release a new edition of Jeffrey D. Allers and Bernd Eisenstein's Alea Iacta Est at Gen Con 2016 under the title Order of the Gilded Compass. (Note that the image at left shows only the logo for this new release.) Here's an overview of the setting for this re-design:
Order of the Gilded Compass uses a variable set-up in order to create fresh and interesting game play experiences. Each game has five locations in play to which players may assign their dice for various kinds of treasures and bonuses, and the game includes nine different buildings to allow for many unique combinations.
I posted some details about the new edition of Robo Rally on BGG News in March 2016, but this is the first that I've head about Acquire hitting the market again, so I've contacted Avalon Hill for details and will post again if I hear anything.
