 Kingdom of Solomon[IMP MNIKOS10]All orders from our website will be shipped with a free exclusive promotional card.
King Solomon presided over a golden age of peace and prosperity in ancient Israel. During this time Solomon instituted an unprecedented building program. As one of Solomon’s chief governors, you must procure materials and oversee construction of buildings and roads across the land for the glory of Solomon. You will also help to construct the Temple, one of the wonders of the ancient world. Kingdom of Solomon is a worker-placement game with a few new twists and turns. Do you claim a resource space, an action space or throw in all your remaining pawns to grab a powerful Bonus Space? Will you spend your resources to extend Solomon's kingdom, take some points in the Market or add to the Temple? These and many other choices await you in this highly interactive game. From the designer of the board game: Revolution! All pre-order copies of this game will be shipped weeks before your favorite store will have them in stock, so you'll be the first one on the block to have your game! The game board:  THE PLAN: Pre-Orders will also receive your copies at least two weeks before anyone else will be shipping or have it in store. We hope to have this game in hand for GenCon 2011 in Indiana but for sure at Essen '11 in Germany (Oct 2011). You can pick up your copy up there and we'll even teach you how to play it.  WORDS FROM THE PUBLISHER: James Mathe I had my eye on the game Revolution! when it was still a print and play on Board Game Geek. I was happy to hear Philip got signed for this game with another publisher - we were just a bit late. After talking to Philip more we found out he had another game he's spent even more time on that he'd consider publishing with us. Its a good solid Euro game with some twists on WP, so we decided to take a chance on it. But wood bits are expensive, and we just recently sent 4 other games to the printer. So we could use some help with cash flow on this one. WORDS FROM THE DESIGNER: Philip duBarry Don’t assume this is just another get-resources-and-build-stuff eurogame. Our years of development have resulted in multiple innovations tightly fused together in an easy-to-learn, challenging and fun gaming experience. Right from the start players are presented with interesting choices and a “first-to-blink” mechanism that adds real excitement to the basic worker placement. From there players may connect the individual spaces together forming vast trade districts that can be activated by only one pawn. Finally, players must decide how best to deploy their various resources. Buildings block other players from certain resources and give you extra spaces. The Market allows you to profit from any shortages or over-abundance in the game. Or you may choose to help construct the famed Temple of Solomon, which grants access to the powerful High Priest and a substantial endgame bonus. With these elements along with many other twists and turns, Kingdom of Solomon will provide you with a concentrated and unique gaming experience. Thanks for your support. We are very excited to bring you this wonderful new game! Main Design Elements for Kingdom of Solomon:
 WORDS FROM THE ARTIST: Ricky Hunter To start, what a wonderful team to be a part of, and what a great experience it has been for me. I have always wanted to create art for a board game, so naturally I jumped at the opportunity to work on the Kingdom of Solomon. I'm hoping the art helps create a great atmosphere for everyone while playing, as great game art has always done for me. I am extremely proud of every illustration, and am thankful and grateful to each and every fan who will help get Kingdom of Solomon started. We are now accepting pre-orders for this game! Pre-order and pay for the game now through Minion Games and we'll ship your copy weeks before the game arrives anywhere else!

 Five Fingered Severance[IMP MNI5FS10]Today is your last day on the job. Corporate decided to close the store and everybody is getting the boot. You could spend the rest of the day helping those miserable, wretched wastes of human skin who come in and demand service, or you could do what you always wanted - tell them were to go and have a good time. And you know which one it's going to be... From the instructions. In Severance each player assumes the role of one the characters at the store. They can steal items from the store, slack off, or keep performing their work duties. Each activity has risks and rewards. The player scores points after successfully slacking off and after taking their stolen goods to their locker. When a player gets caught (by the boss) doing something wrong they gain heat. Heat also naturally rises during the game. When a player reaches 30 they are fired. The game ends when all of the players but one are fired or the event deck is exhausted. Five Fingered Severance is a take that game. To gain points the players will have to open themselves up to the other player's attacks. I want the game to be more tactical though, so the plot cards in the deck are limited to just a few types of cards. This allows players to know about what they are getting when they take a turn to refresh their hand. COMPONENTS: - Rules booklet

 Nitro Dice[IMP MNIND100]You have the Car. You have the Nerve. Do you have what it takes to win on the open streets in a nitro-burning race for fame and fortune? It won't be easy with opponents that know how to cheat the game and drive the winding streets. You'll be dodging them and anything they can throw at you. Whoever drives fastest, smartest, and toughest will become the Nitro Circuit champion. Nitro Dice is a fast-paced card-driven racing game where pushing the limit of safety is part of the fun. In Nitro Dice players use a ten-sided-die to represent their racecar on a course made of cards. Each racer's speed is tracked on the die itself so that every player can view the position and speed of each vehicle at a glance. Cards are used to maneuver around hazards and avoid collisions with other racers, but also to place traps of your own on the roadway CONTAINS: - 1 Start / Finish line card

 Grave Business[IMP MNIGB100]In ages long past, the Master taught you the dark secrets of undeath. You could no longer perish, and as long as you had fresh body parts available, neither could your loyal servants - who were coincidentally made somewhat more loyal by the zombification process. But now the Master has fallen! ...Again. And this time those vile heathens have taken the inconvenient extra precautions of separating and inhuming some integral pieces of his unliving remains. In these dire times, one has to look after his own, and you're a necromancer who is more dangerous than most; you're a necromancer with a business plan. Your zombies will dig up graves and loot valuables, and while they're at it, they'll grab fresh body parts so you can make more zombies to dig up more graves. Sounds good, right? Unfortunately, it's so good that other necromancers are after the same cemeteries you are!
