Now officially branded Mondo Games, the company has two new IP-based titles on its release schedule, starting with [person=110674]Luke Byers[/person]' Jurassic Park: The Chaos Gene. Yes, this will be the second Jurassic Park-branded game in 2018, following the May 2018 release of Jurassic Park: Danger! from Ravensburger. The description of The Chaos Gene is somewhat intentionally vague right now, what with the game being teased at Comic-Con International this weekend as part of a slow rollout of what you'll find on the board:
Quote:
Jurassic Park: The Chaos Gene is an asymmetrical board game with miniatures for 2 to 4 players. Choose your faction from InGen, Park Visitors, Raptors or the T. Rex, then find items needed for your faction, attack or avoid other dinosaurs, gain experience, and customize your faction. The game has several scenarios and modular environment tiles for players to explore, and each faction has unique objectives to complete in order to win!
• The second title coming from Mondo Games, also from Luke Byers, is Fight Club: The Home Game, which has an on-the-nose website that you'd probably expect to see if you're familiar with the film and a game description that seems to channel the novel as well as David Fincher's masterful movie:Quote:
I am Jack's competitive card game. Fight Club: The Home Game is a split personality, competitive deck-building game for two players. As The Narrator, you are a slave to a retail nesting instinct. Your primary goal is to collect, gain, and build a life of being truly complete. However, you must ignore that voice in your head pulling you in the opposite direction, a voice that is strong and charismatic and that will not let you rest until you have hit bottom. But with a little support, a comforting hug, a good cry and maybe even a solid night's sleep, you might have the power to stop all the mischief, mayhem, and soap.

1848: You and your family have joined a wagon train in Independence, MO that is about to head to Willamette Valley to find your fortune in the West! Your goal is to complete the treacherous journey while keeping as much money as possible to start your new life.
In The Oregon Trail Game: Journey to Willamette Valley, players place tiles to discover the trails, rivers, forts, and towns in order to move to this new land. This scenic journey would almost be perfect if it weren't for the disease, starvation, drowning, rattlesnakes and other hazards that will plague you along the way.
The biggest reward would be arriving with your family, but there's also limited space for supplies in your wagon. Soon, you'll find yourself debating on the pros and cons of traveling in a wagon with so many people as the winters grow harsher, supplies dwindle, and the food grows scarce. As you throw your dead out of the wagon, you realize you'll miss them…but it's better this way.
