In case you missed the mention of it on the Atlas Games dispatches, word is that Dungeoneer: Vault of the Fiends has moved past card approval stage and is rapidly approaching release. The follow-up release to Dungeoneer,one of last year’s best stand-alone card games, looks to repeat that success with

“Big Brakes”? That’s my rare? “Big Brakes.” Whatever. What I’m starting to really like about this game is its vaguely Engrish qualities: how the flavor text or title of a card seem just subtly wrong enough to be funny, while the card keeps a straight face, as it were. “This

I saw Strange Synergy on the shelves last week and thought, that’s… uh… strange; why didn’t I see any hype about this? In case you’re in the same boat as I was, the idea is superhero combat, with teams of superheroes drawn from no fewer than 100 power cards. Sounds

Myth Intentions was showing off the DON CCG, the mob card game which becomes available as boosters in October. (Oh, wait, they called it a CCE, for Continuing Criminal Enterprise. Whatever.) Not sure what to think of that one. Though the planned Decco expansion, a Miami Vice-style set, will arrive

“Duel Masters, one of the hottest card games in Japan, is heading for the U.S. […] The problem for WotC and Dreamwave will be to create a separate identity for Duel Masters so that the property doesn’t end up playing ‘Digimon’ to Yu-Gi-Oh’s ‘Pokemon.’ ” Yeah, that’s a challenge all

I would be remiss if I failed to mention Eight Foot Llama‘s game coming this October, particularly because of its subject matter.

Hey, Jane: go to the FFG booth, they’re debuting a new edition of AGoT that has starter decks for all five Houses. There are just five, right? You would know better than I would. The Game of Thrones board game is also there, if it hasn’t sold out.

Atlas Games has just confirmed the rumor we reported a month ago, stating that Dungeoneer will indeed be published by Atlas from now on. The game was transferred to Atlas from Citizen Games, which admitted a lack of funds was making the proper support of Dungeoneer impossible. The sold-out dungeon-delving

Decipher announced this game what, a week ago? And they’re running demos here at the show. This newest salvo in the .hack multimedia assault (anime TV, anime features, PS2 games and now a CCG) has gameplay that will be familiar to players of, well, anything in the medium, but most

Here at the show: Munchkin Fu. Day-amn. The money train keeps a-rollin’ for the Munchkin franchise. This one looks especially sweet to combine with the other two.

Saw a Simpsons TCG demo. The cards are simple, have non-lame quotes on them (not hugely exciting ones either from what I saw), and seem to be aiming for the middle-ground fan, rather than for Simpsons otaku. There is a vague similarity to the Looney Tunes design, but don’t be
