Games on the Way

With Heir to the Throne out and Scream or Die on the way, Amber Palace Games is not resting on its laurels.  Instead, we’re moving full speed ahead on a variety of new offerings, locking ourselves in the basement with a boatload of mountain dew and our heads full of ideas that we just have to bring to the table.

First up is Heir to the Throne:  Rise of the Guilds!  This follow-up to Heir introduces all new ways for you to win the game and create crazy, sprawling families.  New Birth and Marriage cards focus on Guilds, granting you bonuses for being a careful matchmaker, while new action cards like Oedipus Complex let you attack rival families in ways that are you to make you smile.

Next is Dear Leader, a strategic dice game where you are a nuclear scientist trying to complete a nuclear test for your beloved country, while also trying your best to please your ‘eccentric’ Dear Leader.  Will you risk incurring Dear Leader’s displeasure to focus on your job, or will you strive to be the biggest sycophant and earn Dear Leader’s favor?

Last up is our untitled Basketball game.  Like sports?  Like 1v1 board games?  Like careful strategy?  Then you will love this game.  It’s 3v3 Basketball at its best.  You position your players on the court to take advantage of their different abilities, but watch out!  Overuse your players and fatigue will send them to the bench.  Be strong, be smart, and outmaneuver your rival to win the game.

More info will be posted, so stay tuned for the latest from Amber Palace!
