Eberon Players Guide: D&D 4e - $29.95
The Eberron Player's Guide presents the film noir world of Eberron from the point of view of the adventurer exploring it. This product includes everything a player needs to create their character for a D&D(R) campaign in the Eberron setting, including new feats, new character powers, new paragon paths and epic destinies, and even a new 4th edition version of a classic Eberron class: the Artificer!

Arcane Towers: D&D 4e - $9.95
These quality, card-stock tiles are quick and easy to use and a great value. Arcane Towers features floors and items found in wizards towers as well as more generic tiles.

Terrors from Beyond - $25.95
Perched on a bleak and inhospitable rock off the coast of Scotland, the Hallowsay Light has guided sailors for over seventy years. Now its beacon has gone inexplicably dark, imperiling the ships that ply the waters of the North Atlantic. The news has reached the lighthouse tender Helios, already steaming toward the island of Hallowsay for its fortnightly relief of the station. A search party, made up of three volunteers from the crew of the Helios and a relief keeper, is sent to investigate. What awaits them are horrors from beyond!

Board Games

Import Shipment arrives!

EndGame has received roughly 3/4 of an import order for board games that have not seen domestic release. Some titles are old favorites, some are recent Essen and Nuremburg titles. Everything is in limited quantity.
A short list of titles (There are many more)!

Cities (Take it Easy style gameplay)
Wadi (from the designer of Cities)
Fauna (nominated for Spiel des Jahres)
Tekeli-li (Cthulhu Trick taking card game!)
Shanghaien (2 player dice game)
Verrater (Classic role-selection card game)
Diamonds Club (Rutger Dorn Essen release)
Sushizock (Followup to Pickimino)
The Magic Labyrinth (Nominated for the Kids Spiel des Jahres)
Nacht der Magier (Glows in the Dark!)

Space Alert - $59.95
Space Alert is a team survival game. Players take on the role of a crew of space explorers sent out through hyperspace to survey a dangerous sector of the Galaxy.The spaceship automatically maps the sector in 10 minutes. The crew’s task is to defend the ship until the mission is complete. Ifthey succeed, the ship brings back valuable data. If they fail... it is time to train a new crew.

Space Alert is not a typical board game. Players do not compete against each other. Instead, they work together against the challenge presented by the game. The difficulty of this challenge can be chosen by the players themselves. Completing the most difficult missions requires close teamwork.

Steam - $55.00
Martin Wallace's new train game published by Mayfair. The game is of the same family of rail games as Age of Steam and Railroad Tycoon, both previous games designed by Wallace.

The game plays very similarly to Age of Steam but with modifications to some of its mechanics and artwork. Tracks for income, train level, etc. are all printed on the board around the map such that alternate maps can be overlaid on the board and the necessary tracks will still be able to be used.

The Kids of Carcassonne- $29.95
Each year, the people of France celebrate a national holiday on July 14th. In Carcassonne, the people mark the day by releasing the sheep, chickens and cows from their pens. All day, the children of Carcassonne make great fun by trying to catch the animals and return them to their pens by dusk.
This highly simplified version of the best-selling Carcassonne gives small children the chance to enjoy this great game, even with their families. Here, no points are counted. Instead, the first player to use all his figures is the winner.

Smallworld - $50.00
In Small World, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all.

Designed by Philippe Keyaerts as a fantasy follow-up to his award-winning Vinci™, Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs and even humans; who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth.
