New Titles Coming from Cranio Creations

New Titles Coming from Cranio Creations
Board Game Publisher: Cranio Creations
Italian publisher Cranio Creations, which debuted in 2009 with Horse Fever, has revealed details of three new games coming from the company. Here's an overview of the trio of titles:

Dungeon Fighter

Explore spooky dungeons, find glorious treasure, buy powerful magic items, and challenge the most horrible creatures. Will your party be able to defeat the final boss?

Dungeon Fighter will be the first game where your physical skill determines the ability of your character. Can you kill the Medusa without looking into her eyes, defeat the Minotaur in its labyrinth, or resist the Dragons' breath? Will you be able to hit the target by throwing the dice from under your leg, with your eyes closed?

You will truly feel part of a centuries-old battle between good and evil ... with a touch of foolish stupidity. Due out in October 2011 for Spiel. (1-9 players, ages 7+, 45-90 minutes)

Pimp My Park

Build and manage your amusment park by attracting the right audience, building different attractions, and investing to increase your finances. In Pimp My Park, the fastest players will be able to build the best buildings and create the best advertising – but be careful not to spend too much as bankruptcy is right around the corner.

The construction of the buildings in 3D gives the game a very interesting and attractive visual component. (2-6 players, ages 13+)

Catastrophy

Humanity is on the brink of the abyss! Four different evil forces are leading the destruction, and cooperation among all the players is needed to save the world – or (as a back-up plan) to attempt to colonize other planets. By working together (or not), you will protect buildings, launch rockets, and control the threat of catastrophies, all to survive until the final attack is ready, with you hoping to save more people than any other player.

In Catastrophy all players will try to prevail upon each other, and cooperate to prevent the end of the world. (2-6 players, ages 13+)
