New Games at Cannes 2016: Forging Dice, Raiding Tombs, Fighting Meeples, and Saving the President

In Dice Forge, players try to acquire resources, seize mythical objects, fight legendary monsters, and gain victory points, and they do so by crafting the dice that they roll throughout the game in order to give them better results and lead them down the path to victory.

Each player starts with two dice in Dice Forge, and as the game progresses, players can upgrade the faces of the dice to give them more coins, more points, and other benefits.

A magical medallion from the last Egyptian excavation has attracted the attention of two famous adventurers — Tara Wolf and Montana Smith — who then decide to explore the Valley of the Kings in search of hidden treasures.

While playing La Vallée des Rois, they will be surrounded by good companions who might help them avoid deadly traps and withstand the wrath of the gods of Egypt, but in this quest, only one adventurer can reap fame and wealth...

La Vallée des Rois: L'Éveil de Nyarlathotep is a 32-card expansion that transforms La Vallée des Rois into something of a different game as now one of the adventurers leads a cult and plans to use the treasures found in the tombs to carry out their evil plans, while the opponent tries to stop him with the help of a handful of scholars and courageous investigators.

Each player has a deck of ten specific cards that includes allies, traps and equipment, from which they draw one card per turn. The three papyrus received by the cultist player early in the game does not come from the usual papyrus, but six "Cthulhu Mythos" papyrus that cite terrible deities and avatars such as Nyarlathotep Yig or that cast spells causing death and madness.

Two tombs are replaced with alternate versions, and terrifying creatures borne from a mythology of ancient evil gods await players.

July 4th in the United States of America — on this day of celebration of national independence, the impossible has happened. An inter-dimensional rift has opened outside the White House, triggering a 9.02 earthquake and devastating the area. Menacing creatures have poured through the rift, animated by evil intentions to rule the free world. The White House staff has been taken out by the quake, power is working only intermittently, the Secret Service is helpless to stop these creatures of chaos from walking into the Oval Office.

Our greatest symbol of freedom is about to fall — and with it the free world — until across the rubble fall the silhouettes of a few individuals, White House tourists who are ready to stand as the last bulwark against the destruction of our society, standing behind the single slogan: "Save the President!"

Save the President, Save the World is a cooperative game in which players try to do just that.
