Issue #201. You’d think in the wake of our 200th issue extravaganza, we’d pack up all the party favors and stave off the hoopla ‘til our next celebratory bash. Heck, no! Every issue of GTM’s worth rejoicing, ‘cause there’s always something brand-spankin’ new and sparkly shiny to “oooooh”, and “aaaahhh”, and go gaga about! It’s practically Christmas morning each month you dive into the pages of GTM (no bust on Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick). For starters, Fantasy Flight Games brings the excitement of the galactic conflict between a tyrannical Empire and a ragtag team of rebellious heroes to the forefront as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story blasts into the frontlines of battle in the latest wave of expansions for the X-Wing Miniatures Game! Then, WizKids takes trepidation to catastrophic proportions in Burke's Gambit, a social deduction and bluffing game of peril and paranoia - in space! And, we travel from the far-future to the primitive past with The Settlers of the Stone Age, Catan Studios’ classic game of exploration and discovery during the dawn of mankind, and Evolution Climate, a standalone expansion to North Star Games’ evolutionary board game of adaptation and competition in a thriving, primeval ecosystem. Plus, uncover the source of a ruinous prophecy in Fall of Magic, Heart of the Deernicorn's innovative, collaborative storytelling game, and explore a fantasy world fraught with Panic in Fireside Games’ popular series of cooperative tower defense board games. The party's just getting started with the shenanigans of Party People Games' Double Vision & Double Play and Cheapass Games' new classic pub game, Pairs (and check out the free Horn of Plenty Thanksgiving-themed bluffing game for use with Pairs), while Mayfair Games and Renegade Game Studios serve up some gift-giving advice to get a head start on fulfilling your favorite gamer's holiday wish list, and there’s gobs of flicking fun to be had in Brain Games' Ice Cool! So, keep the festive fervor, savor another slice of celebratory cake, and Game On! And, visit Game Trade Magazine's (GTM) Facebook page and join in the fun!
