With Sword and Shield

A new card game from Swedish designers Three Crown Games.

With Sword And Shield™ is a 110 card game that brings you back in time to a medieval joust.Here you step into the roll of a knight and by playing different kind of strikes and manoeuvres against your opponent you try to hit him.

To spice things up, different events may occur such as a cheering crowd or that your patron saint reveals himself. Your personal abilities may evolve and if you are lucky you may receive the sword of Ascalon, a battle-axe or any other great artefact.Once you control the basics of a joust you will be able to play a mêlée.

Gather up to six players, split into two teams and start pounding each other. Or why not start a tournament?
A Joust takes 15-45 minutes to play and a Mêlée 30-60 minutes to play.

Magnet

New abstract games are thin on the ground, so let's welcome Magnet from the now prolific Z-man games.

MAGNET is a game of coordinated action and secret identity. Opposing kings fight a battle of force and deception to claim the center.
Place the magnet piece anywhere on the board and "attract" one piece along each vector. Make powerful combined attacks or strong defensive reorganizations in a single move.
Each side owns 12 pieces including 1 king and 2 traps. Pieces begin at the lowest rank with identities hidden. After each move a piece may be promoted, increasing its power but offering clues to the opponent. Use bluff and secrecy to conceal the identity of your king and trick your opponent into your traps.

Saint Petersburg Expansion

The eagerly awaited expansion to this great card game finally ships in the UK.

The New Society adds 36 cards with purple dots to distinguish them and the parts to allow 5 players to play. In addition, the game adds several cards and provides other cards to replace those in the original game.The Banquet adds 12 cards with gold dots to distinguish them. The deck includes 3 “normal” cards and 9 cards that offer special abilities very different from those of workers, buildings, and aristocrats. Each expansion must be played with the basic game. Players may also play both expansions together with the basic game. Of course, creative players may choose to use some, but not all of each to make their own game and play.
