Dungeon Twister the Card Game
There is a game spoken in hushed undertones within my gaming group, a game considered so awesome that it must only be brought out on special occasions and even then must be protected with armed guards, a game I’ve not had a chance to play because these cosmic alignments never seem to align for me. The game is Dungeon twister, a rather silly take on the whole dungeon crawling affair where the dungeon changes as you play. Dungeon Twister designer Christophe Boelinger let slip he was working on a Dungeon Twister card game. That was months back and now details have started to emerge about the game. “..you will be able to build your team choosing between a large array of characters and objects. Needless to say that this box by itself offers lots of possibilities, like if you owned a few boxes of DT expansions.
But best of it all, each deck per player could fit in your jacket pocket. Now you’ll be able to play DT almost anywhere !!!”
The Dungeon Twister card game will be on display at GenCon 2013 and is due for release later in the year. For more information check out Ludically.com and the Ludically Facebook Page.
The Amityville Project: Phobos
Mage Company has announced that after a full year of play testing they’ve polished their latest project to a mirror-like sheen and are ready to unleash its pulp horrors on the world. The Amityville Project: Phobos takes place in the 1960’s Amityville City where a shady organisation known as the Syndicate have been up to no good and have conducted a strange experiment.
“The main character of this project is the Detective Ed Sullivan who tries to solve the Syndicate mystery and uncover the dark plans of Syndicate! A device capable of reforming the people mind's turning them onto lab pets is the beginning of this mystery called: Phobos. Will the Detective be able to trap Syndicate?”Sounds intriguing? The Amityville Project: Phobos is headed to Kickstarter on the 1st of September but if you can’t wait that long a print and play version is available now for free (yes I said free) from Mage Company’s print and play website.

Assassin’s Creed board game
One of my favourite videogame series ever has been Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed, there is something both exhilarating and calming about conducting an intricate series of parkour type wall runs and jumps before stabbing an unsuspecting guard with a hidden blade.Well Ezio Altidore’s renaissance era antics will be coming to a table near you this Christmas in the form of Assassin’s Creed the Board Game. All we know is that the game takes place in Constantinople and will involve taking on the role of assassins attempting to take out their targets without being spotted by the guards.
So far the only real details are the leaked box art and that it will be made by Cryptozoic, we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
 or just around the corner (GenCon and Essen Speil) the game companies are gearing...){kind=link}
