1) The Initiative (First board game from Unexpected Games) - $47.97 (You save $11.98)
A unique co-operative board game of story, strategy, and code-breaking — lets players take on the role of teenagers in 1994 who have found a mysterious board game called "The Key". Not only will they play The Key, but players will help the teens through a pivotal chapter of their lives by following a series of missions linked together via an interactive comic book.
The game's campaign is broken into a number of chapters, each taking 30-60 minutes to complete and each starting with you reading a page of the comic book. The story advances even if players fail a mission, but winning may provide a reward in the future. Each chapter builds on the knowledge and story from previous chapters, weaving narrative, code-breaking, and mystery into one thrilling game experience.
2) Star Wars: Rebellion - $79.97 (You save $19.98)
The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away, and the Empire rules the galaxy by fear. Its newly constructed battle station, the Death Star, is powerful enough to destroy any opposition.
Yet, there is a new hope. A brave few have chosen to stand against the Empire. From their secret base, these Rebels plot to overthrow the Empire and restore freedom to the galaxy.
Star Wars: Rebellion lets players reenact the epic conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. Take control of the Empire and unleash your military might to snuff out the Rebel's base, or begin a full-scale Rebellion focused on guerrilla tactics and sabotage.
To ultimately win the struggle, you will need more than just massive weapons of war. You will need heroes. These iconic characters can attempt secret missions to further your cause or undermine the opposition.
