Cadwallon ersteht in neuer Form auf:

http://www.alderac.com/arcana/


The next partnership between Alderac Entertainment Group and Dust Games brings to gamers Arcana. Arcana, an exciting new card game set in the mythical city of Cadwallon, pits you against up to three opponents as you vie for the most power for your Guild.

Will the Guild of Blades control the city? The Guild of Thieves? Its up to you as you fight for the best agents to exert your influence.

As the game is played, various stacks of “Stake” cards are revealed. Using the cards in your hand from your Main Deck, you will play agents to the various Stake cards, and you will use other cards to augment your agents. The player whose agent wins the Stake will claim it, placing it in his Resource Deck. Any card from your main deck that has been played also goes to the resource deck. When the main deck runs out, you reshuffle your resource deck into a new main deck. The more powerful the Stake card you win, the better it will make your deck as the game progresses. However, should you win a stake for a card that does not directly help your strategies, you can put the card under your Guild card, and still score at the end though not have to reshuffle that card into your deck, maintaining focus. Every card has a point value and at the end of the game the total point value of all the cards in your possession determines the winner.

Each Stake is determined by various factors, such as military power, political power, money, etc. Each Guild has different abilities, such as the Guild of Blades always winning ties on Stakes determined by military power.

Along with the Stakes, each player is given a number of Objective cards at the beginning of the game. Completing these objectives, such as “Control three Automaton Stakes” will earn the player additional points.

By customizing your deck as you play and with four different Guilds to choose from, the replay value of Arcana is nearly limitless.

Arcana is brilliantly illustrated and is a fast fun way to get both your card game and fantasy fix. Produced under license of Rackham. Releases October 2009. For two to four players.

Hier mal das GenCon Programm der Franzosen. Nichts Spektakuläres dabei:

Rackham Entertainment will be attending GenCon Indy 2009 on booth #827. Come visit any time and enjoy demo games of AT-43 and Confrontation. Take command of the new army boxes for both games. Play a game of Rush n’Crush, the armed racing game to be released in September, and seize the opportunity to buy a preview copy on the spot.

Drive your ride to victory in the first Rush n’Crush cup ever and let all your losers of opponents kiss the wall. Register on our booth for this 24-man, 3-hour-tournament to take place on Saturday at 1 PM in Ballroom 500, on table 401.
A 2000 AP AT-43 tournament will also take place on Sunday. Bring your army to the battlefield, or just grab an army box on the booth and release its troops upon your opponents.

Hmm...ONI...zu welchem System gehört denn das; zu diesem AT-43...?
Weil, so wie einige davon aussehen würden die auch gut als Servitoren durchgehen...^^
Aber dieser dreiachsige Panzerwagen links sieht zumindest ganz gut aus und gibt sicherlich einen 1A-Chimaeren-Ersatz ab; er hat Feuerluken, auf diesem kleinen Turm kann man sicher den Multilaser und das MG anbringen...
Naja...
 
Alle Minis auf dem Bild sind bereits die Produktionsmodelle. Außerdem sieht man hier den gesamten Inhalt der ONI Box. Rechts im Bild sieht man einen Teil der Karman Box. In der Box sind u.a. 2 Jungle Trikes und ein Varianten-King Mammoth enthalten. Der KM verfügt über zwei Raketenwerfer statt der einen großne Kanone (die aber ebenfalls beiliegt und gegen die Raketenwerfer ausgetauscht werden kann.

Inhalt der Oni-Box

> 2 Typ** Infanterie Einheiten (Zombies mit Kreissägen zu Einheiten á 6 Mann)
> 1 Typ* Infanterie Einheit (Zombies mit den klobigen Armen unterhalb der Sniperin)
> 1 Typ*** Infanterie Einheit (Zombie Tac Arms)
> 1 Typ** Transporter (Fahrzeug zur Linken)
> 1 Heldenfahrzeug (Fahrzeug mit der Riesenwumme gehört zur Sniperin).
> Ansonst das übliche Kleinzeugs aus den anderen Boxen


Ach ja, ONI können teilweise von den anderen Völkern ageheuert werden.
