More information: @ legion events

Where are all the great board games of 2010? Not to worry, they are on the way. Here’s some things to look out for in no particular order…

Invasion From Outer Space- From Flying Frog,the same guys who brought you Last Night on Earth. In fact, it uses the same game rules as Last Night on Earth. Only this time: Martians vs Carnies (Circus folk. Small hands, smell like cabbage). This can only mean one thing – @ some point I will play a game of Martians vs Carnies vs Zombies. Expected release is late summer.

Ascension, Chronicle of the Godslayer– A new company, made up of people who are not new to games. To quote their facebook page: “Ascension was developed by Pro Tour Champions Justin Gary (Gamer CEO, WoW CMG), Rob Dougherty (Epic CCG) and Brian Kibler (WoW TCG).” It’s a deck building game in the tradition of Dominion, with some fantastic new twists. I managed to score a demo copy of this one, come by the store to see it. Projected release for this one is August.

Horus Heresy – a galaxy spanning civil war set in the Warhammer 40k universe: What’s not to like? Fantasy Flight’s latest big box game is one of the few in this list that will be out almost immediately.

Pirate vs Pirate – A lot like Ninja vs Ninja, but now with three players and Pirates. No release date on this one just yet.

And we can’t forget expansions:

Race for the Galaxy: Brink of War- The third expansion for Race for the Galaxy is due out in late spring.

Dominion: Alchemy and Dominion: Prosperity - These new Dominion expansions are slightly smaller than previous ones, and do require a base game (Dominion or Dominion: Intrigue). One is due early summer and the other in the fall.
