Red Juggernaut, a new game company making its first appearance at Games Expo, has announced three games for this spring and summer.  All of them will take place in the same fictional setting, the World of Terris, an earth with a history that diverges from ours at key points.   The games are set in its medieval periods, with magic, several additional human species, and other features that differentiate it from historic earth.  The World of Terris was developed by Red Juggernaut co-founders Jim Long and Jon Leitheusser (both recently of WizKids), along with Robin Laws and Scott Hungerford, who wrote the bible. 

 

First out of the gate will be Battue:  Storm of the Horse Lords, a board game planned for May release.  Players will control marauding horsemen competing to loot a city.  The box will contain a board, tiles, tokens, cards, dice, and a full color rulebook at an MSRP of $49.99.  An expansion, Battue:  The Walls of Tarsos, is planned for summer. 

 

Mansuba:  Challenge of the Pharaohs is also planned for summer.  Players learn the game of the Pharoahs, which in the World of Terris was an ancient kingdom of the Fey, medieval-era Neanderthals.  A board, game pieces, dice sticks, and a full-color yearbook will be included.

 

A third game, Strongholds, will ship in two parts this summer.  In Strongholds:  Ancient Rivals, the never-defeated Roman empire battles the Fey.  In Strongholds:  Axe & Shield, a kingdom seeks to secure its northern borders against Dwarven raiders.
