Workshop Wednesday: Damnation, Reavers of Midgard & Detective City of Angels

Due to popular demand, we will now be teaching three games on Wednesdays.

This Wednesday we will be playing Damnation The Gothic Game, Reavers of Midgard, & Detective: City Of Angels!

Damnation, The Gothic Game: 7.3

Damnation: The Gothic Game is a 2 - 8 player horror board game with one simple goal - to be the last surviving player. This purchase includes a copy of the Night of the Vampire expansion for Damnation: The Gothic Game.

Take on the role of iconic Victorian-era villains as you explore a cursed castle, seeking deadly weapons and forbidden powers with which to slay your opponents and claim victory by becoming the final survivor.

Ransack rooms to draw cards that along with your Villain’s unique Talents allow you to avoid misfortune and punish those who would stand against you.

Position yourself next to an opponent to claim the dreaded ‘Power of Adjacency,’ then laugh as you steer them into the castle’s many fiendish traps and hazards.

Slay other Villains to claim their souls, spent at The Dark Tower for monstrously powerful rewards.

In death become a ghost, gambling on the fate of the castle and its occupants for a chance to return to life and claim revenge! Or adopt a very different form as you visit The Vault to become The Vampire, an agile and deadly creature with only a few weaknesses hidden within the castle.

Will you survive the night?

Reaver Of Midgard: 7.4

In Champions of Midgard, your quest was to become Jarl. You battled back the trolls, draugr, and some of the epic monsters that once threatened the sanctity of your humble port town. Now it's time to go on the offensive.

In Reavers of Midgard, you'll be looking to gain glory by raiding nearby villages for their riches, sacking well-fortified castles, and battling both man and monster on the open seas. You'll not only need to take your rowdy crew of Vikings and the food needed to keep them happy along for the ride but you'll also have to recruit a crew of elite warriors - the Reavers.

Reavers can be used in three different ways. They can be made your ship's leader, earning you a one-time bonus and enabling your warriors to be more versatile in combat. They can also be used to rally more warriors to your cause, filling your ship to the brim with the right fighters for the right situations. Finally, they can also be used to help your crew specialize, earning you a bonus every time your crew sails into battle.

Whoever can earn the most glory after six rounds will be the winner.

Detective- City Of Angels: 7.9

Detective: CoA uses the innovative ARC (Adaptive Response Card) System to create the feel of interrogating a suspect. Suspects do not simply give paragraph-book responses; instead, The Chisel carefully chooses how they will answer. When Billy O'Shea insists that the victim was a regular at Topsy's Nightclub, is he telling the truth or is The Chisel subtly leading the detectives toward a dead end that will cost them precious time? Detectives can challenge responses that they think are lies but at great risk: If they're wrong, The Chisel will acquire leverage over them, making the case that much harder to solve.

Detective: CoA includes separate, detailed casebooks for both the detectives and The Chisel. Each crime is a carefully constructed puzzle that can unfold in a variety of ways depending on how the detectives choose to pursue their investigations. As the detectives turn the city upside down, uncovering fresh evidence and "hot" leads, hidden suspects may be revealed and new lines of questioning will open up, creating a rich, story-driven experience.

Inspired by classic film noir like The Big Sleep, the works of James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential), and the video game L.A. Noire from Rockstar Games, Detective: City of Angels is a murder-mystery game unlike any other. Will one detective rise above the rest and close the case on L.A.'s latest high-profile murder? Or will The Chisel sow enough doubt and confusion to prevent the detectives from solving the crime?

—description from the publisher

A "sleuth" mode allows 1 or more players to playfully cooperatively, solving the cases together.
