Review & Description

After the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, State after State in America's "Deep South" seceded from the Union that the North felt must be preserved. In the ensuing war, brother fought brother as the Confederacy resisted with all its might for over four years in The Lost Cause. This States of SiegeTM solitaire game puts you in the shoes of the Confederate High Command as the Union armies close in from five different directions. With famous Generals like Lee and Johnston leading armies for their new nation, much of the conflict also takes place on the waterways and in the halls of power of foreign governments. Told through the use of Headline and Broadsheet Event cards, history unfolds before your eyes as you direct the Southern war effort on land, sea, the diplomatic and home fronts, in an effort to secure independence and survive as a nation. Can you organize the Confederacy and devise the plans necessary to secure victory? Can you make the best use of scarce Southern resources, allocating them at the right place and time to preserve the Confederacy? Or will relentless Union pressure make it all a Lost Cause?

Muzundrum: The Game of Musicians (Toy)

Review & Description

Muzundrum is a three-way crossword-style game of music theory developed by composer and recording artist J S Kingfisher. Players interlace 12-sided musical dice to form scales and triads on a giant honeycomb, forming unique "tonal weaves"... it's great for beginners, challenging for pros, and always mind-bending fun! Muzundrum can be played by 1-4 musicians of any age. It can also be played in teams, allowing novices to learn from their more experienced partners. The average game lasts 15 to 30 minutes. A basic working knowledge of key centers, major scales, and triad construction is needed to play Muzundrum - all stuff taught in first-year Music Theory classes and by most private music instructors. In addition to being a heap o' fun, Muzundrum is an effective educational tool, and is being used by high school and college music instructors in classrooms nationwide. It's a great way for anyone to improve their theory chops and become fluent in all 12 keys. Read more

Airships at War

Airships at War
Airships at War
By Sierra Madre Games

Buy new: $24.95

First tagged by Lucius Cornelius
Customer tags: board game

Review & Description

For a brief but terrifying period of time, airships were the kings of the skies. Silent, outside the range of most weapon systems and well armed, they were greatly feared at the dawn of aviation.

This solitaire game allows you to command one of these great ships, with scenarios covering World War I and a hypothetical 1930s conflict between the US and Japan. Fly missions over London, the North Sea, the Eastern Front, Italy, Africa and the Pacific Ocean.

Originally published as Luftshiff (World War I) and ZRCV (US Pacific) by Sierra Madre Games, Airships at War brings both games together for a unique and entertaining wargame. The new 3rd Edition is made by Sonic Quill Publications under license and introduces a major reorganization of the rules to be more play friendly, plus SQP is offering spare parts to replace lost or worn out pieces.

3rd Edition rules are fully compatible with the previous (12th Anniversary) game pieces, so players can elect to purchase the rule book only rather than purchase the whole new game.

Two expansion sets, Riesenflugzeugabteilungen and The Battle of the Bismarck Sea, are sold separately.

Ninja Legend Of The Scorpion (Toy)
By Alderac Entertainment Group

Review & Description

The night is quiet, but somewhere in the darkness shadows are moving. A ninja and a traitorous samurai sneak into the Lion Clan's castle, intent on completing their dastardly tasks. Though alert, the Lion guards are as yet unaware that anything is a miss. This tense standalone game pits the Lion against the Scorpion. As the ninja or the traitor, you will use hidden movement to sneak into the castle, eliminate guards, find your mission objective and escape. As the guards, you will use your wits and loyal samurai to thwart the sinister Scorpion. In this exciting new game set in the world of Legend of the Five Rings, you will use your limited resources, wits and guile to outthink and outmaneuver your opponent. Deductive reasoning, planning and a little luck will determine whether you triumph or meet your fate at the end of three feet of steel. Read more
