Der Eiserne Thron: Das Brettspiel basiert auf der berühmten Romanreihe Das Lied von Eis und Feuer von George R. R. Martin. Die Spieler übernehmen die Führung der großen Adelshäuser von Westeros und rüsten sich für den epischen Kampf um den Eisernen Thron.

Diese überarbeitete zweite Auflage des erfolgreichen Brettspiels bringt viele Neuerungen in das System von Der Eiserne Thron. Elemente der früheren Erweiterungen, wie Häfen, Garnisonen, Wildlingkarten und Belagerungsmaschinen, wurden direkt in das Grundspiel eing earbeitet. Hinter den neuen Sichtschirmen können leichter geheime Vorbereitungen getroffen werden, und das Modul Schlachtenglück bringt eine unberechenbare und tödliche Komponente in die Kämpfe. Für 3-6 Spieler. Ab 14 Jahren. Spieldauer: ca. 2-4 Stunden.

Gloomhaven is a game of Euro-inspired tactical combat in a persistent world of shifting motives. Players will take on the role of a wandering adventurer with their own special set of skills and their own reasons for travelling to this dark corner of the world. Players must work together out of necessity to clear out menacing dungeons and forgotten ruins. In the process they will enhance their abilities with experience and loot, discover new locations to explore and plunder, and expand an ever-branching story fueled by the decisions they make.

This is a game with a persistent and changing world that is ideally played over many game sessions. After a scenario, players will make decisions on what to do, which will determine how the story continues, kind of like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. Playing through a scenario is a cooperative affair where players will fight against automated monsters using an innovative card system to determine the order of play and what a player does on their turn.

Each turn a player chooses two cards to play out of their hand. The number on the top card determines their initiative for the round. Each card also has a top and bottom power, and when it is a player’s turn in the initiative order, they determine whether to use the top power of one card and the bottom power of the other, or vice-versa. Players must be careful, though, because over time they will permanently lose cards from their hands. If they take too long to clear a dungeon, they may end up exhausted and be forced to retreat.

Es ist ein langer und ungewisser Weg von einem bloßen Staat zu einem mächtigen Imperium, der vor allem eines Bedarf: Eines klugen, weitblickenden Herrschers. In Imperial Settlers übernehmen die Spieler diese Rolle und lenken die Geschicke einer Fraktion mit individuellen Fähigkeiten. In jeder Runde kann aus einer Vielzahl von Aktionen gewählt werden, um neue Ländereien zu erschließen, Gebäude zu errichten, Handel zu treiben und Gegner zu bekämpfen. Den Ausbau ihres einzigartigen Imperiums organisieren sie dabei mit einer raffinierten Kartenauslage.

Im international erfolgreichen Strategiespiel Imperial Settlers sind die gewieften Staatsmänner (und -frauen) unter den Spielern gefragt, um mit scharfsinnigen Entscheidungen monumentale Großmächte zu errichten – kriegerisch oder friedlich. Diverse Spielvarianten sowie der Solitärmodus für Alleinherrscher sorgen zusätzlich für Abwechslung und ein rundes Spielerlebnis.
