We started the Board Games Fest 2016 with this game. A real adrenaline bomb. The game faithfully catches the atmosphere of "shoot-em-up" video games in a board game version.

"Our world... It's complicated. Many people can't understand. They blindly believe in theories and myths set up. I don't belong to them! Fairy tales and propaganda are all about. I have a much better weapon to understand the world. A weapon with which I can shape the elements I want! This is alchemy!"

This medieval fantasy world hosts some of the most determined, emerging, perhaps somewhat eccentric, alchemist masters, whose ultimate goal is to be the largest, most famous scientific discoverers. Their specialty is the exploration of the elements with the help of certain everyday objects. To do this, alchemy, a great cauldron, and some fictional science are being called upon!

Modern social games can be grouped in several ways. Based on theme / theme (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Abstract, etc.) and game mechanics / gameplay (deck construction, bluff, dice, etc.). The fanatic likes to play anything but there is always something that is a bit closer to his heart. For example, I like to cultivate raw materials and build empires, but where I really feel, horror role plays, where we embody a certain character on a board in an awesome world. In my new enthusiasm I recently bought one of these games I would like to introduce you to.

Earlier, beside H. P. Lovecraft, we looked at people's "risky" struggle against the enormous power of the elders (Elder Sign board game), where if we can't overcome it, we shut it off from our world or keep in deep sleep to avoid being a threat. This time, however, I show you a game where people are lost. The time has expired, and the elders have come to the world.

The Dark Souls is a video game series that has a surprisingly large and enthusiastic fan base. He deserved the notorious accolades for his "brutal, but fair" gameplay, which he calls attention every time: "You're going to die!"

As I have written, Howard Phillips Lovecraft has been influenced by many co-writers, video games and films over the years. Her legacy has been playing role-playing, books and, of course, board games! In the face of the upcoming horrors, let's see one more closely!

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown"

H. P. Lovecraft

Perhaps the most famous quote from Lovecraft. But who was he and why am I talking about it on a games website? Those who know the answer will probably smile in front of the screens (stupid question!), But those who don't, I'll open their eyes now because something is going on! Something that's not of this world!

Cooperative games are not new to anyone. Close collaboration for a common goal, race against time, fighting for survival, as a huge logical puzzle where we feel every step of weight! All this in a wonderful storybook world!

Many literary works give the theme and play the idea of Hell. The realm of guilty souls where they are who did not live a decent life before their death. Dante's Divine play was the first one to divide her into circles and bunks, according to the Sovereignty of Satan. This has since been recaptured in countless media outlets. But in the next game, the heroes are not going to Hell, but Hell comes to them!

Zombie Hunting Report From Belle's Diary - It's Halloween!

They say there is a day in the year when the otherwise impenetrable boundary between the spirit world and the physical world ceases to exist. The souls of the dead can all return to our real plane plane for a last desperate walk. I wouldn't be surprised if it really was. The carcasses of the dead are still walking around here at twenty-four.

Zombie Hunting Report - That's a tower

They locked us. We could not run away. The district swirled all over the zombies. There was a way left for us. Up! There was a giant radio tower in the street. It is enclosed by a two-storey, massive fence. It did not work, but with a control panel we opened the electric doors, which allowed us to run for help and then return to the radio tower where the helicopter could pick us up. But for the key to the tower gate we had to go deep! To the bottom of a cellar.
