SPELA DET HÄR I BOARD GAMING ZONE
WITH ASMODEE
More info will come soon.
Star Wars Unlimited
Asmodee Nordics brings a demo version of next year’s big title from Fantasy Flight Games; Star Wars™: Unlimited.
A fast and strategic card game for everyone, whether you’re a Star Wars fan, a die-hard card player, or something in between. In Star Wars™: Unlimited you create a deck of cards from booster packs, each of these cards has different strengths, weaknesses and abilities that you combine into a deck that suits you best. The game is called “Unlimited” for a reason: with over 200 cards in just the first set – Spark of Rebellion – there are countless strategies and combinations waiting to be discovered.
Asmodee will be holding gameplay demos of Star Wars™: Unlimited every day, and if you attend a gameplay demo, you’ll also receive an event-exclusive variant of both the Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader leader cards, while supplies last.
Cascadia
- won Guldtärningen for the Adult Game of the Year
Cascadia, also called the Pacific Northwest, is a region in western North America. Here it’s about creating the most diverse environment by drawing habitat tiles and wildlife tiles to create a rewarding landscape mosaic so that five wildlife species can live as good a life as possible. There is a great deal of knowledge with the designers that they would like us players to adopt, so we create the conditions for grizzly bears, salmon, foxes, cormorants and wapiti to have as good a life as possible. The game is beautiful, educational and not least provides knowledge about what is required to create a functioning ecosystem – be it in Cascadia or anywhere else on earth.
Exploding Kittens: Good vs Evil
God and the devil have turned into cats and they’re bringing their eternal conflict into your living room!
Exploding Kittens: Good Vs. Evil features brand new designs and characters from the Netflix series Exploding Kittens. This high-stakes game of kitty-powered Russian Roulette lets you outwit your friends, cause trouble and stage your own epic battles… all while trying to avoid exploding! Additionally, we’ve added Armageddon cards that start an exclusive mini-game where you fight for ownership of the most powerful card ever created.
Play this game by itself or combine the game with any Exploding Kittens expansion for double the fun.
Dixit Disney
Dixit Disney is a simple and lighthearted game of storytelling, interpretation, and guesswork. Players will be challenged and delighted as they reveal a series of cards featuring gorgeous Disney-themed images. Find the correct image and score points. With 84 new cards based on iconic Disney & Pixar films, from Steamboat Willie to Turning Red, Dixit Disney will captivate the imagination of every player.
