Happy New Year to all! We've got some great stuff in the display case right now to kick off 2017. Classic early Silver Age DC abounds, with key Justice League issues, great Green Lanterns including the first appearances of Star Sapphire and John Stewart, and Flash comics going back to the Gorilla Grodd trilogy. We've also got issues of the Avengers and Fantastic Four starting in the single digits and a nice copy of the elusive Silver Surfer #4!
As always, if you're looking for any back issues, give Matt a call at (508) 755-4207!

Speak Out
(4-5 Players)
$29.99
Get ready to be doubled over with laughter with this ridiculous mouthpiece challenge game! The Speak Outgame brings friends and family together for laugh-out-loud fun as players try to say different phrases while wearing a mouthpiece that won't let them shut their mouth. In the Speak Out game, players draw from the deck and read the phrase as best as they can, but it's not so easy to do when the mouthpiece is hindering them from forming words correctly. The timer counts down as players try to say phrases such as "he's my stealthy pet ferret name Garrett", "slow down, you careless clown", or "pelicans love pollywog falafels." The laughter continues as players try to decipher what in the world their teammate is trying to say, and must correctly guess the phrase in order to earn the card. The team with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The Speak Out game includes 200 double-sided cards, 5 mouthpieces, and a timer.

The Colonists
(30-360 mins.)
$89.99
In The Colonists, a.k.a. Die Kolonisten, each player is a mayor of a village and must develop their environment to gain room for new farmers, craftsmen, and citizens. The main goal of the game is full employment, so players must create new jobs, educate the people, and build new houses to increase their population. But resources are limited, and their storage leads to problems that players must deal with, while also not forgetting to upgrade their buildings. Players select actions by moving their mayor on a central board.
The Colonists is designed in different levels and scenarios, and even includes something akin to a tutorial, with the playing time varying between 30 minutes (for beginners) and 180 minutes (experts).

Carcassonne: Amazonas
(2-5 Players/35 mins.)
$34
.99
In Carcassonne: Amazonas, players sail their boats to the Amazon to discover abundant wildlife. Players score points not only for discovering animals, but also for visiting native villages and water courses while their boat moves forward on the Amazon. Amazon is full of caimans and piranhas which often (and somewhat unpredictably) bring points to those who are farthest down the river (you move your boats forward when you encounter boat symbols on your water courses and also when you do not place any meeple on water courses or villages, nor huts in jungles). The game ends - as usual - when all tiles have been used up, and the two boats fartherst down the river score some bonus points (depending on the number of players).
Carcassonne: Amazonas is the third title in the "Carcassonne Around the World" series

Burkes Gambit - $19.99
Speeding through space, Burke's Gambit is a rugged company freighter on an extremely important mission. It's seasoned crew is tasked with finding powerful alien technology. What the crew found instead was something they never expected...
...a dangerous parasitic organism somehow made its way into the ship and inside the body of one of the crew members!
The bio organism contamination alarm goes off as one of the crew members seizes the chaotic moment and sabotages the freighter's engines. The ship, its crew and the parasitic organism are all on a collision course with planet Earth, where further contamination of the world's population awaits.
Which of the crew are dedicated company personnel wanting the alien organism to reach Earth? Which are just crew wanting to space the infected crew member?
Most importantly, which member of the crew is infected?!
Join the crew of Burke's Gambit on a wild space adventure with hidden affiliations and a hidden infected player.
Players take on specific roles of Captain, Marine, Comms Officer and more as they take turns and roll a die. The possibilities of the die include damaging another player, healing themselves, look at a crew affiliation card, or even scan a player's diagnostic card. But if you roll an engine power up, you hasten the ship's arrival to Earth. When Burke's Gambit reaches Earth, a vote must be held to eject someone from the airlock (assuming there are people left to space)!
