Ares Games will be at PAX Unplugged (December 6-8, Philadephia, PA) presenting three new games - the atypical dungeon crawler Dungeonology: The Expedition, the Victorian board game Nanty Narking, and the historical card-driven game WW2 Quartermaster General 2nd Edition. Ares will also host the final battle of the Battlestar Galactica Starship Battles – the “33“ Campaign”, on Saturday morning, with the booth #3437 turning into a galactic battlefield.
The “33” Campaign is a series of events of the combat miniature game Battlestar Galactica – Starship Battles, inspired by the first episode of the Reimagined series. The Battlestar Galactica and the rest of the Colonial fleet are relentlessly pursued by Cylons; 33 minutes after each faster-than-light jump, they arrive again, trying to exterminate what’s left of Mankind. These events were held at all major shows Ares attended during 2019, involving hundreds of BSG fans around the world.
After the epic 50-player battle at SPIEL Messe Essen, the Colonial Fleet jumps to the last clash with the Cylon pursuers. All attendees at PAX Unplugged are welcome. No previous knowledge of the game rules is required, as Ares’ demo crew will help new players to jump into the battle in a few minutes as well as provide the spaceships needed to play. All participating players receive an exclusive “Admiral Adama” promo card as a reminder of the event, as well as a limited-edition event promo card, a discount coupon to bring home the ship they’ve battled in, and additional prizes offered by Ares and by the co-sponsor of the campaign, Slitherine Software, publisher of the official video game for PC and consoles “Battlestar Galactica – Deadlock".
PAX Unplugged attendees will also have the chance to see several new games coming in 2020: two games to be published by Ares, Black Rose Wars, in partnership with Ludus Magnus Studio, and Masters of the Night, with Igrology, as well as seven new games published by partners and distributed in US by Ares: Days of the Siege, the second expansion for This War of Mine - the Board Game (Galakta Games), Europe Divided and Freedom! (PHALANX Games), Hard City and Slyville (Hexy Studios), and Alone (Horrible Games).
