Hello again everyone !!
New board game by wizkids named : The Rise & Fall of Anvalor
Intro :
An exciting new licensed board game from WizKids (whose previous credits include Warhammer 40,000 Dice Masters), set in the Age of Sigmar – The Rise & Fall of Anvalor. Here’s the story so far…
“Many previous attempts to build a lasting fortification at Anvalor have failed. Its strategic location on the Great Parch, a particularly arid region of Aqshy, the Realm of Fire, is of supreme importance. However, each new effort to establish a significant foothold has also irked a new foe, an enemy who rises to the challenge of thwarting the attempt. Equally distant from Anvilgard, Hammerhal Aqsha and the City of Brimstone, the competing factions of those great cities have put their quarrels aside and committed to a final push to rebuild Anvalor together. Whoever can secure the new stronghold will also dominate the Great Parch, significantly strengthening their influence in all the Mortal Realms.”
Sounds like trouble is definitely brewing! Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The Rise & Fall of Anvalor is a 1-4 player game that lasts up to an hour with each playthrough. In the game, you and your rivals compete to gather the most influence in Anvalor in order to dominate the budding city or cause its downfall. The player who secures the most influence at the end of the game wins.
There are six playable factions to choose from, ranging from famous Aqshian rivals, the Hammers of Sigmar and the Khornate legions of Khorgos Khul, to the Vorstarg Fyreslayer Lodge and even the Order Serpentis. We’ll be bringing you more information on this game in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.
About the Author
Rustan Håkansson made this new game. he's known to me for Nation a board game with meeple that was sold as an improved Through the ages. It succeeded (a little) but the game was expensive and some turn could be extremely frustrating if you were unlucky.
He dev games in open source with the Bgdev.club
I am intrigued to see what they do with the licence this time.

Hello everyone !!
Small Cards game based on gretchinz racing !
The greenskin’s passion for speed and violence is known throughout the galaxy. It is not uncommon to see (from a reasonably safe distance of course) little crowds of Orks from different klans take any excuse to launch their best Gretchinz into insane races where they pilot buggies which have been slapped together with whatever is at hand. There is no need to point out that firepower and speed are far more important than the safety of the racers when it comes to the design of such contraptions.Now you too can recreate these frantic races, pitting these crazy speed freaks against each other. Play your cards cunningly and try to manage your attacks and movements intelligently, before your rivals have a chance to get ahead. Come on, you must finish them!
Gretchinz! is a crazy racing game for 2 to 4 players (which can be expanded to up to 8 players with a second copy of the game).
Players will be rolling their dice all at the same time. Dice indicate the type of actions that players can perform: move, attach, draw new cards, etc. The fist player to align the dice to his interest will yell “Waaagh!” and everybody else need to make do with the results they have on the table at that moment. Regarding attacks, players won’t know for sure if the cards they have at hand are good enough for their intended action. Players hold the cards in their hand in such a way that they will not be able to see the relevant side of their hands (while the rest of the players can actually see the fire power of the rest of the opponents).
