This Week's New Releases!
YGO TCG Ghosts From The Past 2022
£15
The second Ghosts from the Past set is the followup to last Spring’s phenomenon, Ghosts from the Past! It’s got more of everything that made Ghosts from the Past a smash hit, including even more Ghost Rares!
It’s not just the roster of Ghost Rares that’s expanded either—the drop rate has, too, so it’s twice as easy to pull a Ghost Rare this time around! On top of that, each box of the next Ghosts from the Past set has four packs instead of three, giving you even more cards per box!
2022’s version of Ghosts from the Past is another all-foil set, and each five-card pack comes with five Ultra Rares, 1 of which could be replaced by a Ghost Rare. Each box of the upcoming Ghosts from the Past comes with four packs, for a total of 20 cards per box.

The Everrain is a cooperative exploration game where players must each assemble their own motley crew of spirited mariners and take to the dark seas of a world drowning under the curtain of an endless and oppressive storm that threatens to drown the world. The ancient Old Ones of the sea have awoken and begun to reshape the world in their image, and unless something is done all will drown in the rising tides. Players must explore this dark and foreboding world, completing quests, expanding their crew, upgrading their ship and investigating the source of the Everrain before it is too late. Starting from humble beginnings, each player must traverse the seas of the Everrain to discover new places. The board is randomly generated from modular tiles, leading to a completely unique setup each time the game is played. Each player begins with their own ship and a skeleton crew, but more experienced crew can be found in the darkly lit taverns of port towns, saved from shipwrecks and even be rewarded for completing quests. The game is progressed by completing quests which can trigger important plot points, but players must be wary as the Old God’s minions also seek to advance their own agendas. Combat can take place from ship to ship and even aboard a player’s vessel, so each crew member must be ready for almost anything!

Familiar Tales is a co-operative, deck-building, fantasy adventure for 1-4 players. It's an exciting narrative game in which players take on the roles of a wizard's familiars, entrusted with saving and raising a displaced princess. They must keep her safe from the evil forces that would see her dead, but when it comes to children, it is not enough to merely survive! The familiars know that every choice they make will affect the young one in their care. If they are victorious and the throne is reclaimed, what kind of woman will sit upon it?
Players will explore a massive world through the pages of a fantastical story book filled with branching paths and memorable characters. Fight off enemies, and explore the many nooks and crannies of an enchanted world. Experience a professionally narrated, fully scored, decade-spanning fantasy epic. Easily downloadable for both Mac and Windows, this browser-based app is required to play Familiar Tales. Think of it as an automated game master and storyteller! The app also features a digital, searchable rulebook.
An innovative card play system allows players to level up their familiars by building and customizing their skill decks. Players will use their skill cards to perform all manner of exciting actions throughout their campaign.

The TARDIS has crashed on a derelict spaceship full of Weeping Angels: terrifying killers that can be stopped only by staring at them. But if you dare to stop looking — if you even blink — they'll send you out of time. Will the Doctor and companions be able to get all the pieces to repair the TARDIS in time? Or will the Weeping Angels succeed when so many adversaries have failed before?
Doctor Who: Don't Blink is a challenging tactical board game in which up to four players control the Doctor and his companions Amy, Rory and Clara, with them attempting to collect four parts to repair the TARDIS and escape. One player takes on the role of the terrifying Weeping Angels and attempts to outmaneuver and capture them!

Prove you're the ultimate skier by skiing the most difficult runs, collecting the best gear, and earning the highest score!
To get your ski on, you need to collect and turn in matching sets of slope cards. Each set you turn in lets you ski a run on the mountain, earning victory points, fame, and a spot on the run scoreboard that tracks who performed best on each run. The higher a run's difficulty rating, the more cards you'll need to collect to complete it - but you'll also score more points and earn more fame!
At the end of each day of skiing, you'll take a break at the Ski Village, where you can take bonus actions and acquire gear to prepare for the next day of skiing. At the end of the 3rd day, whoever has the most victory points wins!
Pathfinder RPG Book of the Dead Special Edition (P2)
£59
The dead are rising! This blasphemous tome gives players and GMs everything they need to bring the shambling menace of the undead to their Pathfinder adventures. This book includes tools for fighting against the undead horde, but also options for the players themselves to control or even become undead creatures. GMs will find new tools and haunts, as well as information about the undead-plagued lands of the Lost Omens campaign setting. A massive bestiary section full of undead creatures brings more threats for GMs to use and summonable creatures for players, including more versions of classic undead like vampires, skeletons, and zombies. This 224-page hardcover rulebook also includes a full adventure themed around fighting the undead!
This deluxe special edition is bound in faux leather with metallic deboss cover elements and a bound-in ribbon bookmark.

In the Risk Legacy strategy board game, every game that's played will change every future game. A decision you make in Game 1 could come back to haunt you in Game 10. The risks you take in this game are not like those in any other cooperative board game. All players will shape how their world evolves: its history, its cities, even its factions and how they fight. Cards and stickers will come into play. Cards will go out of play forever. People won't forget past betrayals - and neither will the game. Unlock new rules and watch events unfold with each game. No two games will ever be the same. Gather friends together for an exciting battle of power in this immersive tabletop board game.
And lots of other new releases this week!
