Dominion Alchemy

There are strange things going on in your basement laboratories. They keep calling up for more barrels of quicksilver, or bits of your hair. Well it’s all in the name of progress. They’re looking for a way to turn lead into gold, or at least into something better than lead. That lead had just been too good of a bargain to pass up; you didn’t think, where will I put all this lead, what am I going to do with this lead anyway. Well that will all be sorted out. They’re also looking for a universal solvent. If they manage that one, you will take whatever they use to hold it in and build a castle out of it. A castle that can’t be dissolved! Now that’s progress.

Dominion: Alchemy is an expansion, and can’t be played by itself; to play with it, you need Dominion, or a standalone expansion to Dominion (Dominion: Intrigue). Those provide the Basic cards you need to play (Treasure, Victory, and Curse cards), as well as the full rules for setup and gameplay. Dominion: Alchemy can also be combined with any other Dominion expansions you have.  Mk1 Price $49.90

Magic The Gathering: Rise of the Eldrazi

Carnage Shall Follow

For thousands of years, Zendikar has had a reputation as a deathtrap. It’s been a world of deadly perils to planeswalkers and native explorers, punishing any who seek to loot its hidden treasures and exploit its potent mana.  But unknown to the plane’s denizens, there’s a sinister reason for Zendikar’s danger: for millennia, the plane has served as a prison for the Eldrazi, astral monstrosities native to the Blind Eternities. Now, the perils facing adventurers on the plane of Zendikar have taken an even deadlier turn. The Eldrazi have been released.

Hailing from the Blind Eternities, the space between planes, the Eldrazi have transcended the colors of mana as we know them. As a result, the Eldrazi progenitors themselves and those closest to them are colorless. But don’t let the mana cost fool you—these Eldrazi are not artifacts.  Each of the colossal Eldrazi spawns its own “brood lineage.” The three brood lineages are composed of Eldrazi Drones and other subordinate beings, each reflecting the image of its progenitor. The smaller Eldrazi Drones that are aligned with colored mana and many of these drones, as well as some spells, produce Eldrazi Spawn creature tokens. These 0/1 colorless creatures can be sacrificed to add one colorless mana to your mana pool—perfect for casting those enormous Eldrazi.

The Rise of the Eldrazi set also marks the debut of colorless instants and sorceries. Like their Eldrazi creators, these versatile spells can be put into almost any deck.  Rise of the Eldrazi is the third set in the Zendikar block, yet introduces entirely new themes and mechanics to reflect the devastation that has been wrought by the world eating Eldrazi. The set features 248 black bordered cards, including randomly inserted premium versions of all cards in the set.  Available in intro packs, booster packs and fat packs – and on shelf right now!

The set introduces new mechanics including: Annihilator, Rebound, Totem Armor, Level Up, Colorless Eldrazi creatures and spells.  Rise of the Eldrazi limited play (drafting and sealed) is meant to be played with only Rise of the Eldrazi product.  New Planeswalker cards are included.

• Rise of the Eldrazi Fat Pack $59.00
• Rise of the Eldrazi Booster Packs $7.00 or $199.00 per 36 packs
• Rise of the Eldrazi Intro Packs $21.00

Warhammer Invasion

The Card Game!

The Old World seethes with ancient rivalries and boils in the cauldron of savage warfare. Enemies and allies alike face off against one another to settle ancient claims, and to live the glory of battle for themselves.

Brought to you by famed designer Eric M. Lang, Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a two-player card game of intense warfare, clever kingdom management, and epic questing. Players must carefully allocate their resources as they seek to build their kingdom, complete quests, and attack the enemy’s capital.

Will you play the indestructible grudge-bearing Dwarfs, the shrewd and manoeuvrable Empire, the savage and destructive Orcs, or the entropic and mutating forces of Chaos? Or will you cleverly craft an alliance, playing the combined might of the forces of either Order or Destruction?  Mk1 Price $79.90.

Warhammer Invasion Core Set contains:

• 1 Rulebook
• 220 Cards representing 4 factions
• 4 Capital Boards
• 35 Resource Tokens
• 60 Damage Tokens
• 4 Burning Tokens

Expanded by these Battle Packs – on shelf now!

Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs. the Coalition

These ready-to-play 60-card decks showcase some of the best cards in Magic history. The Duel Decks: Phyrexia vs. the Coalition box set has ten rare cards and two mythic rare cards. Six cards feature new artwork, including foil alternative-art versions of Phyrexian Negator and Urza’s Rage.  Two 60 card theme decks Mk1 Price $39.90

The overlay of the Phyrexian plane of Rath has unleashed a scourge upon Dominaria. Single-minded and unyielding, the Phyrexian army uses the power of black mana to fuel efficient killing machines that seek to eliminate all in its path.

For Dominaria, victory is the only option. The Coalition, representing the five colors of mana, has united under the leadership of Gerrard Capashen to combat the Phyrexian invaders.

When these opposing forces wage war, devastation can be the only outcome. The question then remains, where will you stand?

Cardcassonne

Do I add another 3 to the city?

Then I can add my follower next turn and score lots of points. Of course, then another player may claim the row and score those points.. So, what is the answer, add to the row or maybe claim it now. Oh, what a dilemma.

In Cardcassonne the players place their cards in rows so as to make each card as valuable as possible.  A player may choose to protect a sequence of cards with a follower, but when to do so is the problem.    Whether in the field, the city, the road or at the abbey, you must ensure that cards placed will earn you more points than your opponents.

However, sooner or later, every player has to claim one of these series of cards to get points. If you wait one more turn, there will probably be a greater number of cards in the row – but it is possible that another player take the opportunity!  Rebuild Carcassonne: one card at a time!   Mk1 Price $55.90.
