Blue Orange Games has announced a new European Collection line, which will include complex "gamer" games intended for the hobby and specialty store market.  The line will include seven new titles this spring, as well as rebranding of five existing games.

"We are excited to bring the best ‘gamer’ games from Europe through our Blue Orange Europe product line with games from famous game designers such as Seiji Kanai, Bruno Cathala, Bruno Faidutti, and Charles Chevallier," said Blue Orange ‘s VP of Sales and Marketing Martin Marechal.  "Last year, we tested the waters by bringing over a few of the games from Blue Orange Europe such as Battle Sheep, Niya and BraveRats.  When we saw how overwhelmingly positive the response was for these games, we decided to bring other games to expand further, and offer even more games in this spirit."

Dragon Run is designed by Bruno Cathala (Sengi, Five Tribes) and Ludovic Barbe.  The press-your-luck fantasy game has players take control of a group of adventurers who have stolen a dragon’s treasure and now must avoid the angry dragon and escape the dungeon with the most loot.  The game is for 2-5 players, ages 8 and up.
