November 4, 2010: Now Shipping!

October was a month of many events, but we still managed to ship some games! These all should be on store shelves now, available for your buying pleasure.

Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction

It's getting easier to find the conspiracies all around us. Just look at the news.

Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction is about today's headlines. Supermajority, Health Reform, Bank Collapse, Superpatriot Act, Economic Stimulus -- they're tools for world control. You knew it all along, didn't you?

This set introduces "New World Order" cards to the classic Illuminati game. A NWO card affects all the players, not just the one who put it down. This mechanic first appeared in the collectible card version of Illuminati. You liked it then -- so here it is for the original game.

Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction contains 18 NWO cards to boost, penalize, and offend major political and social groups of all kinds. There are also five special cards to trigger, add, or remove NWO effects.

23 cards in a finseal pack. Stock #1398, UPC 837654320747. $6.99.

Munchkin Quest: Portal Kombat

Go Ahead, Split the Party!

Portals are magical gates between rooms. With the 24 Portal links and 10 new cards in this set, you can move to the other side of the dungeon in the blink of an eye – or stay where you are and throw potions across the board!

You can play this with just the original Munchkin Quest game or add in Munchkin Quest 2 – Looking for Trouble for extra mayhem!

10 cards, 24 links, and a rulesheet in a hangtag bag. Stock #1472, UPC 837654320754. $9.99.

Cthulhu Dice Bag

When Cthulhu eats your sanity, you're in trouble. But when he eats your dice, he'll give them back.

The Cthulhu Dice Bag is soft plush, with far more eyes, tentacles, and wings than any ordinary dice bag. He'll hold dozens of ordinary six-siders or non-Euclidean polyhedrons in his zippered pouch. Or, of course, Sanity tokens from Cthulhu Dice. Or cursed jewels, or gravel, or bus tokens, or all of them together. Just remember that to get them out, you have to put your hand inside Cthulhu. If you are okay with that, this is the perfect dice bag for you.

Using the Cthulhu Dice Bag in summoning rituals is not recommended, but mostly because summoning Cthulhu is really a bad idea. Just let him hold your dice.

Cthulhu-shaped plush dice bag, 13.5" long from wingtip to tentacle-tip, and 9" wide from tentacle to tentacle. Stock #9431, UPC 837654320761. $29.99.
