JAMAICA is back on Mk1′s board game shelves.. It’s  a thing of beauty and a fun family game to boot!  New releases on shelf this weekend include a mini-Catan expansion and a Dungeon Crawl set in the Summoner Wars universe. Updated with previews of next month’s games (see base of post).

Raise the sail and straight on ’til morning.

How else could the honorable Henry Morgan celebrate his 30 years of governing Jamaica than with a race around the island? Gathering every Pirate and Buccaneer around, the “Great Challenge” will be a memorable race. Not to mention – what’s better than a race where you can earn some booty and shoot at your opponents? The ”Great Challenge”, that’s what!

The goal is to sail around the island of Jamaica as fast as possible, while gathering the goods required: gold for port taxes, powder for naval battles and food to eat while out on the high seas. Each time the pirates meet, they will have to fight to try and steal the contents of each other’s holds (and maybe pawn off a chest full of cursed gold at the same time).  Board Game Geek Link: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28023/jamaica

And so, hoist up the sails and head towards Port-Royal. May the fastest and richest win!

New!

Coming Next Month: (links take you through to the Board Game Geek reviews)

Limited Puerto Rico Anniversary EditionEclipse (already sold out in the US – very limited quantities arriving in Mk1 next month),  A new edition of Evo,  Jungle Speed Ravin Rabbids, Takenoko (Looks amazing  and reviews very well!)   Look for restocks of Ankh Morpork,  and A Game of Thrones Boardgame.

Games I’m considering ordering but final decision has not been made – use the feedback below to post your support or otherwise!

  • A la Carte - along with a new expansion A la Carte dessert. Reviewed as a good family fun game.
  • Road to Canterbury – I normally run screaming from these ugly box lids – but reviews indicate a neat concept and good game is hidden within its horrendous exterior.
