![New Game Round-up: Setting Up Defense Grid, Reviving Arcane Academy, and Expanding Public Service](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/H-RSSwbt5S84EtXDnBydgQ__medium/img/OfuV8ckR3sGJA17bAoYa57-y_2k=/fit-in/500x500/filters:no_upscale():strip_icc()/pic2962971.jpg)
Defense Grid: The Board Game includes at least ten missions and six AI characters from which to choose. Over the course of the game, players unlock new AI improvements, AI abilities, towers, and cards that they can use to go for the Gold Medal on each mission as they fight to #ProtectTheCores.
Arcane Academy is based on the critically acclaimed, all-ages comic series Finding Gossamyr, which is set in a fantasy world in which math is the language of magic.
• Alderac Entertainment Group plans to release Benjamin Schwer's Yeti in the U.S. in September 2016, following the game's debut in Europe in mid-March 2016 from Pegasus Spiele.
• For its English-language version of Yusuke Sato's TimeBomb, Indie Boards & Cards replaced the terrorist vs. SWAT setting with one of investigators trying to keep cultists from waking Cthulhu. For the French-language version coming from IELLO, the game will be titled Timebomb: Sherlock vs. Moriarty. Notes IELLO's Matthieu Bonin:
For this reason we needed a strong theme, something that people can identify immediately as being totally fictional, and Sherlock achieves that perfectly: everyone knows Moriarty is evil, and trying to bomb Big Ben is something quite likely from him. But no one can accuse him of being anything [other] than the great British crime lord we all know...
There was no easy theme for this game, but Sherlock became the obvious one.
