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
