Hunger Games scenario

Even though Wilderness offers endless combinations of landscape tiles, we felt that we could offer even more variety if we added a few rules. So we now proudly present an alternate scenario for Wilderness, the Hunger Games scenario!

In the normal game you place the landscape tiles in a row and discover them as you move along. In this scenario you place 6 random tiles in a circle with the village (supply area) in the middle. (See picture!) The players (2-8) is spread out around the rim of the board and want to get to the center to receives bonuses. This is a last man standing where it’s all about surviving and hurting the other players. Brutal, but fun!
Special rules for this scenario:
– Each time you move into the supply area, draw 2 event cards and 1 random player token (use all 8 tokens). If you draw your own token, draw 1 extra event card. If you draw an opponent’s token, they walk into a trap: roll a die and get as much exhaustion. If you draw a token of a player not used in the game (or a dead player) place the token anywhere on the game board. It will move and attack the same way as the wild animals, but will be inactive this very first Nature’s turn. If the player token is defeated, it is immediately removed from the game. Unlike defeating an animal, you don’t get any hunger back when killing a player token.
– Each time you have been inside the supply area, you must move to the edge of the board before you go to the supply again.
– Fight: If a player enters the same area as another player, a fight occurs, and both players roll 2 dice against each other, just as in the “Fight event card”. During fights, all event cards regarding animal attacks may be played. Opposing players or tokens count as animals.
Good Luck! 🙂

Game Inspiration Day

We hope you all had a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! We did! It was one of the largest family gatherings for years, and we arranged a Game Inspiration Day. Since we are a family company, we wanted the input of all family members. Several new games were presented, authored by many different siblings. Then we had a day of game testing and socializing about games and the company’s future. Many thanks to all the participants. Indeed, 2013 will be very intriguing. Right now we have all the options, but we need to prioritize. This is what tonight’s meeting will be about. Have a nice start of 2013!

Language Boom!

The Wilderness Rulebook is now also available in French and German! This is a great step, since these languages have been requested for quite some time! At the moment, we are also working on several other translations for Space Station and Brawling Barons. All three of our games will be available at the Essen Spiel 2012 game convention. We’ll be in booth 4-415, prepared with Swedish candy to feed anyone who wants to have a look at our games. See you there!

Wilderness arriving!

 

 

At last we get to look upon our printed game. The first pallets of games have arrived to Sweden. Some – or all – of those who have pre-ordered the game via IndieGoGo have received their copies as well. Those who have pre-ordered a “Pick-Up” copy will very soon receive a mail with further information. It is a wonderful feeling to open the box for the first time, exploring the contents and punch out the pieces from the boards. Thank you, all who have supported us in this, we won!

Wilderness trailer and mass-production!

We happily announce that Wilderness – A Game of Survival will be massproduced within a few months. We expect it to appear in stores before summer world-wide. This is a huge step for us, and we sincerely hope that our game will entertain thousands.
At the same time, we release the official trailer of the game, which can be seen below;

2. Get it BEFORE it appears in stores world-wide
3. Help us with the production
4. Increase the publicity of our project, allowing us to reach more people.

Space Station FAQ

Space Station developer Jacob Fryxelius has put together a FAQ, which is available here.

It will answer some of the usual questions we get about the game. He also introduces a new optional rule; the market, which will help each player access more cards during the game. It also paves the way for more powerful combos and more specialized Space Stations. This new rule is recommended for all experienced players who feel they sometimes get stuck with nothing to do.

Do you have a question you need answered? We will gladly answer all mails sent to info@fryxgames.se.
