Stronghold Games continues its aggressive release schedule with the announcement of three games planned for this summer:  Stellar Conflict, City of Spies:  Estoril 1942, and Piratoons.

Releasing in May, Stellar Conflict is a spaceship combat game designed by Konstantinos Kokkinis (Drum Roll, New Dawn).  Set in the science fiction universe of Among the Stars, this fast-paced card game pits fleets of ships in a time-limited real-time playing system.  Stellar Conflict is for 2 - 4 players, ages 10 and up, and plays in about 10 minutes.

City of Spies: Estoril 1942 is the creation of Gil d’Orey (Panamax, Vintage) and Antonio Sousa Lara.  Teams of World War II era spies compete in the shadowy city of Estoril, Portugal.  Agents complete for control of iconic spy locations, such as casinos and hotels, in this tile-placement style game.  This game is for 2 - 4 players, ages 10 and up, and takes about an hour to play.

Piratoons is a tongue-in-cheek puzzle-style game by Olivier Gregoire and Thibaut Quintens (who also collaborated on Aya).  Players must bid their crewmen in real time in order to get the best loot, in the form of ship parts and equipment, as they compete to build the biggest pirate ship.  For 2 - 4 players, ages 8 and up.  Plays in about 30 minutes.

The MSRP for these titles has not yet been announced.

These new titles join two other games coming this summer from Stronghold:  Bear Valley (see “Survive the Wilderness of ‘Bear Valley’”) and Pursuit of Happiness (see “Find the Meaning of Life in ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’”).
