Marty! We have to go back to the game store!
Oh, yeah, that’s right. A Back to the Future card game by Looney Labs.
Better than a Sports Almanac from 1950
If you’ve ever played Chrononauts from Looney you know this is a perfect fit. Basically, you start with a general timeline of events laid out on the table. Throughout the game, each player attempts to complete a mission by altering events on the timeline. Yes, you go back in time and futz with things. Sooo fun.
The second game this week we’d like to bring your attention to too is a new deck building card game similar to Dominion, called Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer.
The Andys saw this one demoed at GenCon and loved it. The buzz was that it was gonna be loved by anyone who digs Dominion, but that it also had a better rules system. Got me interested.
And the third game on the hit parade should be exciting to any fan of Dungeons & Dragons out there, the new D&D Castle Ravenloft Boardgame.
'Nuff Said
Also, it’s worth mentioning for any Magic players out there, we got a restock on M11, Worldwake (both boosters and fat packs), and also got in the new From the Vaults: Artifacts.
Can I shove any more pictures into this thing?!!!

Jayson’s Documentary about Roleplaying
What’s the name of the zombie RPG that’s in the store? The one with the quick-start rules that are on the counter. It’s something like “Operation: Undead”.
It’s called Outbreak: Undead. Not to toot our own horn, but right now we are one of the only stores that actually carries it. I hear some shambling outside so you might want to hurry on down before the zombie apocalypse makes it more difficult.
