Ares Games will be at PAX Unplugged 2018 (November 30-December 2, Philadelphia-PA), pre-releasing the new combat miniature game Battlestar Galactica – Starship Battles at the show – the game will start to hit the US stores from December 10th -, and presenting also the recently released Master of the Galaxy, a fast playing 4Х board game.
In booth #2013, Ares will run demos of these new games and of the co-op fantasy dungeon crawler Sword & Sorcery all the weekend. Other games from Ares’ catalog will also be demoed during the show. Ares will also have special promo cards for several games, free with selected purchases, including Battlestar Galactica “Kara ‘Starbuck’ Thrace” promo card.
Battlestar Galactica – Starship Battles is a combat miniature game based on the Battlestar Galactica™ TV series, including both the “Classical” and “Reimagined” settings. Players will take control of Colonial and Cylon spaceships and face each other in furious dogfights and daring missions, piloting beautiful pre-assembled and pre-painted miniatures, faithfully representing the spaceships from both the Re-imagined and Classic versions of the shows.
Designed by Andrea Angiolino (Wings of Glory, Sails of Glory) and Andrea Mainini (Sails of Glory), the game uses a unique game system, inspired by its “glorious” predecessors, but at the same time featuring many new features, to represent the cinematic, yet realistic space battles of the show.
Master of the Galaxy is a 4Х board game for 2 to 4 players, ages 12 and up, presenting a unique and innovative blend of bag-building, card-drafting, and tech-tree development mechanics, inspired by classic science-fiction, movies and computer games. Nine Elder Races are expanding through space, ready to assimilate or exterminate anybody who stands in their way. Players are challenged to conquer the Galaxy, starting with one-star system, one Species card, and a modest supply of resources. They can choose different ways to dominate the Galaxy - trying to quickly spread their people across the stars, developing science to a level unreachable by the opponents, or embarking on a methodical extermination of the rivals. A complete game requires 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number of players.
