Bulgarian games publisher MAGE Company has announced deals with two Russian publishers to produce English-language versions of two games:  Burglars and Goblin Dice.

Burglars was created by Lifestyle Group, based in Russia, as a joint project with MAGE.  In this game, players assume the role of diamond thieves breaking into a bank vault.  The player who can steal the most diamonds will be the winner.  Each turn, players decide whether to rob the bank or another player, using a die roll to determine the number of diamonds stolen, with all the other players using cards to modifier their score.

This game can be played by 3 to 6 players, ages 8 and up, and takes about half an hour.  MSRP is $10.00.  Burglars will release in the Q4.

Originally published by St. Petersburg publisher GAGA Games, Goblin Dice is a light filler board game of goblin hijinks.  Players compete in a wacky goblin race, trying not only to outpace their opponents but also avoid a Magic Stone that tries to squash those who fall behind.  To win, players must roll dice as fast as they can, grabbing dice that have the numbers they need to keep their little goblin moving. 

Goblin Dice is intended for 2 to 6 players, ages 8 and up, and takes less than half an hour to play.  MSRP is $20.00, and release is planned for Q2 2018.

MAGE recently announced plans for a new game called Dungeonland, set in the world of its flagship game 12 Realms.  Dungeonland will release in 2018 as well (see “‘12 Realms:  Dungeonland’”).
