Release date: January 25, 2019
Genre: Horror

The game will be pleased with the return of the proprietary low-tech clipboard for the quest menu. This time you'll be traveling above ground rather than clinging to a sewer. With the train rumbling along the railway tracks, you will be able to see more places of the country and will likely be sent to supply for the locomotive.

But now, with The Division 2, Ubisoft is going to do it again. The developers promise that the second part will be much better. Instead of the New York branch, 2nd Division takes you to Washington, D.C., where the post-pandemic world needs order restored. You must prevent the complete collapse of the city.

Stunning graphics, excellent combat, a wide variety of villains - all this is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. This has to be one of those games that will definitely go down in history.
Days Gone
Release date: April 26, 2019
Genre: Horror / Action
What is this? The world is in ruins, it's time to run from the hordes of freakers. Yes, they can run.
Why it's so interesting: There are a lot of zombie games out there at the moment, but Days Gone is a post-apocalyptic third-person adventure from Sony Bend Studio that takes a different approach to the not-quite-dead.

Mechanics of the Star Wars game

The four unique factions in the Star Wars board game provide a variety of playstyles. Both sides of the conflict, Dark and Light, choose directives that represent strategies, ideologies and missions. Each directive card has 5 more cards associated with it. Together they form a directive set. From the directive sets chosen by the player, his deck is formed, the characters, starships and events of which create an exciting atmosphere of an epic movie in the game.

Unit cards are heroes, creatures, droids, vehicles and starships that the player uses to attack enemy troops.

Meanwhile, development cards, skills, weapons and buildings increase the effectiveness of units, and event cards introduce special talents and tactical opportunities, the use of which in a board game will take the heedless enemy by surprise.

But you can't escape fate. Doom cards are responsible for unpredictable accidents that disrupt the brilliant plans of staff strategists. So, whether you're helping Luke on his journey to Dagobah or tightening your grip on the heart of the empire, each new set of cards will force you to make increasingly critical decisions.

How to play

In the struggle for intergalactic dominance, each side in the card game selects supporters, supplies them with weapons, provides tactical support, and throws them into battle to destroy enemy directives. To return peace and freedom to the Galaxy, the forces of Light need to destroy three directives of the Dark Side, but time is not on their side. With each new round, the Death Star counter heralds the approaching victory of the Dark Side.

Of course, this exciting game also works great with standard decks in the core set. is a living card game that allows you to assemble unique gaming decks according to special innovative rules. The cornerstone of the deckbuilding system is the principle of directive sets.

A directive set consists of a directive and five associated cards that are permanent for that set. When creating a deck, the player selects a faction and at least 10 directives that he needs in the upcoming game. With each directive, 5 more cards from the corresponding set come to his deck. The player receives a directive deck of 1 card and a command deck of 50 cards, this is actually all he needs to play.

To change the game deck, the player continues to operate with directive sets, deleting irrelevant ones and introducing new ones. The directive is gone - remove the 5 cards associated with it from the deck. If you want to add a directive, do not forget that 5 new cards will come from it. Remember that cards from the white and dark sides with different backs cannot coexist in the same deck. Within these simple rules, players can do whatever they want with their decks.

The fate of the Galaxy is in your hands

Strength is a powerful ally and both sides of the conflict are trying to use it to their advantage. Do you want to restore the freedoms of this republic or do you prefer to extinguish the last pockets of freethinking?

Lead an Empire and conquer an entire universe, or join the resistance and destroy tyrants, all now at your gaming table in a tabletop card game.

Preparing for the game

Inside the Start Wars board game box are the rules, two large stacks of cards, and various tokens. This core set includes four ready-to-play decks: Imperial Navy and Sith on one side, Rebels and Jedi on the other. Having chosen a side, the player places three corresponding power cards in front of him. Players now choose and build a deck to play with. For beginners, there are ready-to-play lists of cards.

Players reveal their faction cards. The entire set of cards is divided into two piles, Directive cards and the Command deck. They are mixed separately. The Balance of Power token is placed with the light side facing up and the Death Star counter is set to zero.

Players receive the top four directive cards, choose three of them and place them in the playing area in a closed area. Players place the remaining card at the bottom of the Directive deck. From the command deck, everyone receives 6 cards, and then all the directives are revealed, first from the dark side, and then from the light side.

Start of the game

The preparation is complete and you can play. Players take turns starting from the dark side, and each turn according to the rules of the card game is divided into 6 phases.

Game phases in the Star Wars board game

Balance Phase

Balance Phase Dark Side starts by moving the Death Star counter forward one space, then if the balance is on the dark side, the counter moves forward again. If the balance is on the Light Side during the Light Side Balance phase, this player can deal a unit of damage to any current unit of the opponent's directive.

Report Phase

IN Report phase The active player removes one command token from each of his cards and all shield tokens. If the active player has fewer than three directives left, he unlocks a new one, which can immediately bring a special effect to the game.

Summoning Phase

At the beginning Summoning phases The player gets the opportunity to discard one card from his hand, and then makes the number of cards in his hand equal to the value of the faction reserve. This may require both drawing and discarding cards.

Extension Phase

IN Extension phase The player plays squad or development cards from his hand, paying for each number of resources indicated on it. Units represent the character's troops, and development cards represent various upgrades.

Conflict Phase

Now comes Conflict phase . The active player attempts to destroy enemy directives by attacking them. You can attack several directives, but one at a time. Each directive in a card game can only be attacked once per turn. To begin with, select a target and your fresh, that is, without order tokens, units that will attack. The defender then selects his fresh units to defend. The attacking player now has the right to play one Doom card from his hand face down. The defender can then do the same, or pass.

This will happen in turn until both pass and then both piles are revealed. Now, in ascending order of primacy values ​​(upper right corner), all Doom cards are played, and finally all players count the number of power symbols on their cards. The player with the majority becomes the winner of the skirmish. Starting with it, the opponents one by one give all their fresh cards the order to strike.

How is damage determined?

Damage to enemy units is determined by the number of blaster signs. Tactics tokens determine how many order tokens a player can place on enemy units when attacking. Critical damage allows you to deal damage directly to the directive, bypassing protection. In this case, black signs are always used, and white ones only when winning a skirmish.

Each unit of damage in a card game is indicated by a corresponding token, and if the amount of damage received is equal to or greater than the card's durability, it will be destroyed.

If at least one attacker and no defender survives the encounter, the attacker deals additional rout damage to the involved directive.

Winning the game

Destroyed enemy directives go into the player's victory pile. If the dark ones destroy the directive of the light ones, the construction of the Death Star will advance as many steps forward as there are cards in the dark ones' victory pile. If the counter reaches division 12, then according to the rules of the board game, the dark ones win. To win, the light ones need to destroy any three dark directives.

Power phase

At the end of all conflicts, comes Force phase. The active player can subjugate up to three of his completed cards to the power. Such units will be able to participate in the struggle for dominance, but at the same time they will become more tired when participating in regular combat. Next, each player totals all of his power marks on all of his fresh power-subordinate units. The Balance of Power token is placed with the majority side facing up.

Now the player passes the right of move to his opponent and everything starts again. And the winner of the game will be the one who first fulfills the winning conditions of his side, or the one whose opponent cannot get a card when it is necessary.

If you recognize the Imperial March from the very first notes, answer tricky questions with “I\"m your father Luke,” and discuss complex topics only in the language of Master Yoda, your collection simply needs the board game Star Wars: The Clone Wars. And even if you If you have a rather cool attitude towards the cult saga of the Jedi, it is quite possible that you will simply be interested in the opportunity to play a space strategy game.

Almost 40 years ago, the fourth part of the Star Wars film epic was released. At the time of its release, no one suspected that the film would become literally a cult favorite for several generations of television viewers. The fact that interest in the film continues is evidenced by the release of the seventh part of the film in 2015. Game Star Wars: The Card Game(Star Wars LCG) was created based on the film and was released in 2012.

As the game progresses, you will have to choose one of two sides - the side of the Forces of light or darkness. Depending on this, you will have different tasks and goals. You have to build the Death Star and destroy the Universe or destroy the plans of dark forces. This epic battle will take place on a large playing field.

The dynamics of the game are given by the limited time, because the Death Star is built with every move, and with successful actions of the Force of Darkness it even accelerates. Therefore, the Forces of Light need to hurry in order to destroy the enemy’s three directives in time.

Saving the world depends only on you!

Who is this game for?

Game cards.

The game is designed for two people aged 10 years and older. Simple, clear rules allow you to master them in just a few minutes (it will take you to read the rules). If one of the players has already played Star Wars LCG, then he will be able to explain the rules to his opponent even faster.

Rules of the game

The game begins even before the players have dealt the cards. It starts with strategically planning your moves. You have to think about what moves you will make to achieve your goals and ruin your opponent's plans. There are several factions in the game - Sith, Jedi, Rebel Alliance, Imperial Navy. They will have to fight on opposite sides of the space barricades.

When the strategy is thought out, you can move on to choosing directive cards. You need to add 6 cards from the team deck (randomly). One turn consists of 6 phases (balance, report, call, advance, conflict, strength), in which you have the opportunity to use cards to develop, subdue the enemy, destroy his directives, etc.

Deck cover.

It is important to remember that the more cards you have on the playing field, the more resources you will have to play more and more cards.

The game ends when the Forces of Light are able to neutralize three directives from the Forces of Darkness or when the Dark Forces deck runs out of cards. The forces of darkness win when they can build the majestic and terrible Death Star (reaches 12 bars on the Death Star counter) or when the deck of the Light Forces runs out of cards.

The game is great entertainment for friends and an opportunity to spend an interesting evening.
