Quotes (from this video)
  • all of the animals will score you points in different ways and there are a number of cards in it that you know keep the game replayable
  • so if you want new asymmetric
  • releasing circadian chaos order harbingers expansion this is a mini expansion to the game circadians chaos order which was a heavyweight game where you could play as one of six asymmetric factions battling for control of ancient relics on a distant planet
  • this provides more variability and strategies to discover from within each faction so it doesn't add a new faction but it adds a couple of new things for the faction that makes it um you know a little bit more replayable
  • Renegade game studios and Garfield games are releasing an expansion to circadian first light this is the specialist expansion
  • circadian first light was a medium heavyweight game um that um was all about negotiation they it had open negotiations and you were building coalitions with new species in space
  • Steam Forge games is releasing an expansion to their newly released Resident Evil board game this is called Bleak Outpost
  • in this expansion Bleak Outpost there are six new scenarios in the game so it adds about approximately eight hours of extra gameplay to your Resident Evil campaign
  • if you like horror themed games then Resident Evil is definitely a horror themed game
  • so yeah lot lots more content to explore for circadian first light
  • so that's it that's all the expansions I have hitting retail in October 20123
  • there's a lot of expansions for well-known and well-loved games this month so it is an it's an exciting month in the world of expansions that's for sure
