At the GAMA Trade Show, Polish game company Portal Games was showing off a new expansion for its critically lauded card game Imperial Settlers, as well showing off a new edition of Neuroshima Hex, and other titles it has planned for U.S. release.
Imperial Settlers: Why Can’t We Be Friends is an expansion for the Imperial Settlers civilization-building card game. This first "Empire Pack" includes new common cards for the central deck as well as new cards for each of the base game’s four factions. There are also two new cards for use in the solo game. The expansion introduces the new “open production” effect, which allows opponents to visit other player’s buildings for the resources produced there while also giving them the worker who made the trek. The expansion, which releases in April, includes 55 cards and has an MSRP of $15.00. As an expansion, it requires the base game ($50.00) to play. The game is for 1-4 players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 45-90 minutes.
Game designer Ignacy Trzewiczek told ICv2 Portal also plans release a fifth faction expansion for the game at Gen Con.
The tactical battle game Neuroshima Hex (Michał Oracz) was previously published by Z-Man Games in the U.S. (see "'Neuroshima Hex 3.0'"). Portal’s fourth edition of the game will include a solo variant and expansions. "In Poland, there are already nine factions for the game, so we’ll be translating them and publishing them," Trzewiczek said. The base game will have an MSRP of $50.00, with expansions having MSRP $15.00.
Portal will also be bringing designer Michał Oracz’s (Neuroshima Hex) sci-fi space station survival game Theseus: The Dark Orbit and its new expansion Bots to the U.S. Players take the role of one of several warring factions trapped on the Theseus space station and lay traps and change movement possibilities as they travel from room to room, changing the station as they go. Only one faction can survive. The Bots expansion adds a fifth faction to the game. MSRP was not announced.
Legacy: The Testament of Duke de Crecy is a historical card game set in pre-revolutionary France. Players are aristocrats, out to assure the family dynasty by arranging wise marriages, nurturing strong connections at court, and obtaining titles. There are many paths to victory: through prestige and wealth, or through alliances with great houses and foreign nobility. MSRP is $48.00.
