Settle the wide, open land. Claim your destiny!

Voltron Miniatures Game by Privateer Press
The evil Drule Empire threatens to enslave the entire galaxy. Against this evil stands the Galaxy Alliance, led by the legendary Voltron, Defender of the Universe! Now in the darkness of space, the fate of untold galaxies is about to be decided. Which side will you choose?
Take control of the mighty Voltron and the Galaxy Alliance or Lo-Tron of the fiendish Drule Empire as you wage battle across the unforgiving reaches of space. Launch searing energy blasts, smash your opponent into rogue asteroids, and form blazing sword as you unleash the awesome power of two of the universe’s mightiest beings to achieve total victory!
To set the stage for the face-off between the forces of good and evil, you’ll lay out the specially designed gridded space battle mat, which conveniently references all the ability text needed to play the game. The mat is double-sided so you will have a choice between two different scenarios: Cosmic Influx or Solar Conflict. Various elements on the battle maps bring different special effects to the game: asteroids to maneuver through, enhancing power crystals, a dangerous comet and super nova, and a dampening ion field. You will also struggle with your opponent for control of key points on the battle map to give your force an edge. If you can, you’ll secure a targeting satellite or fueling station to bolster your attack capabilities or speed, hold special relay positions to slow down the opposing force, take control of a solar amplifier to enhance your power, and access a navigational probe to assist your battle map maneuvering.
In the midst of this space scene, Voltron and Lo-Tron collide in battle. With an arsenal to choose from, the gigantic robots exchange devastating brawl, blast, and power attacks. Brawl attacks are used against adjacent enemies, while blast attacks are used against enemies at a distance. Various power attacks may be used when aligned with the enemy not only to cause damage but also to change his position on the battle map. This aspect of attacking in the Voltron: Defender of the Universe battle miniatures game—actually taking the opponent’s miniature and placing it somewhere else on the battle map—makes for some very dynamic combat sequences.
And there’s the additional action in the game with Galaxy Garrison Cruisers and Skull Ships dog fighting through asteroid fields. Although you have just five of these units in your reserves, they are an unlimited resource of combat support, since a unit can be re-spawned onto the battle map even after being destroyed.
The outcome of Voltron and Lo-Tron’s fight will determine the fate of the universe. When either Voltron or Lo-Tron is defeated, the game ends. Only the victor is left standing!
Voltron, Defender of the Universe Battle Miniatures Game features
- 1 Voltron figure
- 5 Voltron Lion figures
- 5 Voltron force Galaxy Garrison Cruiser figures
- 1 Lo-Tron figure

Dominion: Alchemy by Rio Grande Games
There are strange things going on in your basement laboratories. They keep calling up for more barrels of quicksilver, or bits of your hair. Well it’s all in the name of progress. They’re looking for a way to turn lead into gold, or at least into something better than lead. That lead had just been too good of a bargain to pass up; you didn’t think, where will I put all this lead, what am I going to do with this lead anyway. Well that will all be sorted out. They’re also looking for a universal solvent. If they manage that one, you will take whatever they use to hold it in and build a castle out of it. A castle that can’t be dissolved! Now that’s progress.
This is the 3rd addition to Dominion. It adds new Kingdom cards to Dominion and as it is an expansion, you will need Dominion, or Dominion: Intrigue to play the game.
Dominion: Alchemy is an expansion, and can’t be played by itself; to play with it, you need Dominion, or a standalone expansion to Dominion (Dominion: Intrigue). Those provide the Basic cards you need to play (Treasure, Victory, and Curse cards), as well as the full rules for setup and gameplay. Dominion: Alchemy can also be combined with any other Dominion expansions you have.
We hope you enjoy this expanding world of Dominion!

Rise of the Eldrazi by Wizards of the Coast
The Eldrazi were colossal predators that roamed the Æther, devouring the mana and life energy of any plane they encountered, leaving lifeless husks in their wake. Recognizing the danger to countless planes, a trio of planeswalkers of old lured the Eldrazi to the mana-rich world of Zendikar, trapping them in material form and confining them on the plane using unimaginably powerful magic.
But their prison was tenuous. Several short centuries after their imprisonment, the Eldrazi came close to breaking free, rising up to feed upon the mana and lifeforce of Zendikar, nearly reducing it to a wasteland. The very presence of the colossal Eldrazi caused a host of bizarre, lesser drone-creatures to spring into existence: the brood lineages. But the Eldrazi were reimprisoned and the brood lineages along with them. Zendikar slowly recovered, but its ecosystem mutated, becoming stranger, fiercer, and more volatile in reaction to the Eldrazi predation.
And now, thousands of years since they last fed on the plane, the Eldrazi stir once more. A recent disturbance by three planeswalkers at the Eye of Ugin chamber loosened the bonds that kept the Eldrazi in torpor, and they rise to feed on the life of Zendikar again. Across the plane, the dormant stone hedrons come to life, changing or combining into bizarre superstructures, bending the laws of nature around them. A new generation of the brood lineages shudders into existence around their colossal progenitors, and the carnage is immediate.
Rise of the Eldrazi is the third set of the Zendikar block, following Worldwake and will contain 228 cards with 20 basic land cards.
Rise of the Eldrazi will release on Friday, April 23, 2010!
Warhammer 40K Horus Heresy Boardgame by Fantasy Flight Games
On the thirteenth day of Secundus, the bombardment began…
In the greatest betrayal the universe has ever known, the Warmaster Horus – once humanity’s greatest general, now corrupted by Chaos – has turned against the Emperor and hurled the Imperium of Man into ferocious civil war. The galactic conflict has risen to its climax. The Warmaster’s ruinous legions have assaulted Holy Terra itself, the Emperor’s seat. Here the fate of humanity hangs in the balance during the greatest military campaign ever seen.
In the Horus Heresy board game, this legendary battle unfolds across the razed plains of Terra and in the frozen orbit above. Deadly fighting ranges from the Emperor’s golden Inner Palace to Horus’s flagship, the Vengeful Spirit. Taking the side of either traitor or loyalist, two players control either fearless Space Marine legions or deviant Chaos Space Marines, mighty Titans, Imperial Armies both loyal and traitorous, and a fearsome array of other units, including the Emperor and Horus themselves.
An innovative order and initiative system forces each side to carefully consider the commands they issue to their troops. A dramatic, card driven combat system incorporates escalating damage, gives players the opportunity to allocate resources between attack and defense, and brings to bear the unique special powers of each unit type, from fortification-destroying Titans to the perverse daemons of Chaos. Brother fights brother, and the universe hangs in the balance!
Horus Heresy includes over 120 detailed miniature models including 10 plastic terrain pieces, and more than 200 cards to bring this sweeping conflict to life on a stunning map of the war-torn Terra.
