Mortum: Medieval Detective

Mortum: Medieval Detective is a game of deduction and adventures that takes place in a grim world shaped in the image of medieval Europe, with its legends, superstitions and fears coming to life. Take on the roles of secret organization agents and investigate mysterious and thrilling events. You will solve mysteries and encounter fascinating characters in the course of three exciting scenarios, all part of a single storyline. Each case requires up to three hours to play.

You are free to explore the world of Mortum in any way you like, depending on which agents you chose. Put objects under surveillance or send agents to secretly search or interact with them in many other ways. Gather information by interrogating suspects or talking to them. Choose your own way to advance through the game, either using the “kick in the door” approach or by being stealthy and discrete, trying to avoid unwanted attention.

During each turn, a player chooses one of the cards available this turn. These cards can represent a Clue, a Location, Witness Interrogation, etc. Using the cards and Special Action, which were received during investigation, a player discovers what actually happened.

Only you and the choices you make decide how the events will unfold in the end. Tread carefully, and welcome to Mortum!

Erik Killmonger’s oath of vengeance against the Wakandan king’s bloodline has fallen on T’Challa, the current Black Panther. Not content to simply eliminate the Black Panther and his allies, Killmonger wishes to seize Wakanda for himself. To that end, he seeks to radicalize the population against their king, smuggling weapons and mercenaries into the country in preparation for a vast uprising that would place Killmonger on the throne.

But the Black Panther has allies in the form of Princess Shuri and the Winter Soldier. Shuri’s weapons and gadgets can turn the tide in any battle, and no one knows more about fighting a subversive campaign than the Winter Soldier. Yet, even this formidable trio will be hard-pressed to prevent Killmonger’s master plan.

As the war for the heart of Wakanda unfolds, only the most skilled and most daring will rise in defense of the throne!

Marvel United: Guardians of the Galaxy Remix

The Guardians of the Galaxy have made a name for themselves traveling the stars, fighting for the helpless, righting wrongs, and occasionally wronging a few rights. But, by and large, their good deeds outshine the bad, and Ronan the Accuser has had enough! The Guardians have interfered with Ronan’s people, the Kree, in their self-proclaimed righteous wars for the last time!

Ronan ranks among the most formidable villains the Guardians have ever faced, and his master plan is as simple as can be: put an end to the Guardians permanently. In personal combat, even the trio of Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot have little chance against The Accuser wielding his godlike Universal Weapon. They must scramble their way from star to star, helping where they can, and thwarting Ronan’s minions wherever possible.

No place is safe for the Guardians so long as Ronan hounds their tracks. Their only hope is to gather enough strength to finally defeat Ronan, or frustrate his plans long enough to give up the hunt. Either way, the Guardians of the Galaxy are in a race against time!

Lords of Vaala

Lords of Vaala

Lords of Vaala

A game of power based in the universe of Dragonbond.

Raid as a dragon or raise armies as a general, destroy your enemies, and cast mighty spells, all to collect power. The player who collects 10 Power tokens, wins.

During the game, a general and a dragon entering to the same region peacefully, have a chance of becoming Dragonbonded to unlock a unique ability that interacts with each other, and playing as a team for the rest of the game.

In the planning phase players secretly play action cards in a face-down pile to program their actions across the board until one player passes; in the resolution phase, actions are resolved in order. Through these actions, players move to different regions, attack, collect power or cast spells by spending the Power collected.

Combat has a wargame feel into it due to the dice-based resolution with critical hits, counterattacks and retreats. If Power is scarce on the board, you can steal a Power token from another player entering into combat and dealing more hits than they can take.

Dragons and generals play entirely different in strategy and actions. Generals raise armies and customize them in different regions around the board to control them and harvest Power. Dragons can gain Power by devouring units, they also have a health track and must rest and recover if they get wounded too much. All characters in the game have a unique Vaala deck of spells.

In a world without gods, only you may claim your destiny.

Legendary: Marvel Deck Building Game

| T3d-1978
Legendary: Marvel Deck Building Game

Legendary: Marvel Deck Building Game

Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game is set in the Marvel Comics universe. To set up the game, players choose a mastermind villain (Magneto, Loki, Dr. Doom, Red Skull in the base game), stack that particular villain’s attack cards underneath it, then modify the villain deck as needed based on that villain’s particular scheme. Players then choose a number of hero decks – Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, etc. – and shuffle them together; since players use only a handful of hero decks out of the fifteen included, the hero deck can vary widely in terms of what’s available.

Over the course of the game, players will recruit powerful hero cards to add to their deck in order to build a stronger and more resourceful deck. Players need to build both their recruitment powers (to enlist more heroes) and their fighting ability (to combat the villains who keep popping up to cause trouble). Players recruit heroes from an array of five cards, with empty slots refilled as needed. At the start of a player’s turn, he reveals a villain and adds it to the row of villains. This row has a limited number of spaces, and if it fills up, the earliest villain to arrive escapes, possibly punishing the heroes in some way. Some villains also take an action when showing up for the first time, such as kidnapping an innocent bystander. The villain deck also contains “master strike” cards, and whenever one of these shows up, the mastermind villain (controlled by the game) takes a bonus action.

As players fight and defeat villains, they collect those cards, which will be worth points at game’s end. Players can also fight the mastermind; if a player has enough fighting power, he claims one of the attack cards beneath the mastermind, which has a particular effect on the game. If all of these cards are claimed, the game ends and players tally their points to see who wins. If the mastermind completes his scheme, however – having a certain number of villains escape, for example, or imposing a certain number of wounds on the heroes – then the players all lose.
