Conquest of Nerath
One of my upcoming publications (second quarter 2011, anyway) that I’m especially proud of is our Conquest of Nerath board game. This is one of the “very cool things” I promised to talk about months ago, and we finally announced it at GenCon. I did my initial design work on this game years ago, and now it’s really on the schedule. As Lovecraft says, “That is not dead which can eternal lie.” Anyway, Conquest of Nerath is a big fantasy wargame along the lines of Greyhawk Wars, Axis & Allies, or Risk Godstorm. You’ll have hundreds of playing pieces representing legions of footsoldiers, siege engines, war galleys, dragons, castles, and of course heroes like knights and wizards who can plunder dungeons or lead troops. If you’re a fan of conquer-the-world type games or you get a little tear in your eye when you watch the Battle of Pelennor Fields in Return of the King, then this is for you. I’ll talk more about it when the game’s a little closer to release!
