Ares Games will be at UK Games Expo 2024 presenting a preview of Fire and Swords, the upcoming expansion for War of the Ring - The Card Game featuring epic battles in Northern Middle-earth and adding new factions to the game - the Northmen fighting for the Free Peoples, alongside the Easterlings and Ruffians allied with the Shadow.
Visitors to the Ares stand (1-514) will also have the chance to be among the first to experience Altay – Dawn of Civilization, a new game mixing deck-building, civilization development, and area expansion, coming in the second half of the year.
Designed by Ole Steiness and Paolo Mori, Altay - Dawn of Civilization is a game set in a secluded region where four mysterious societies have cultivated distinct cultures over countless years. Maintaining a delicate balance with nature and amongst themselves, they now confront a new challenge: the influx of settlers, bearing advanced crafts, weapons, techniques, and an entirely different way of life. Players, as leaders of Altay's original people, have the choice how to react to this challenge. The game is due to release in the second half of the year, and a prototype will be in demo at UKGE.
Ares will bring to the show a giant version of Quartermaster General: East Front, the first 2-player game using the popular Quartermaster General game system, as well as the amazing dice management game Pyramidice, which takes players to Ancient Egypt as eminent architects challenged to construct the greatest Pyramid ever seen.
UKGE visitors will also find at Ares' stand the winners of the 2024 UK Games Expo Judges Choice Awards in the categories "Best Board Game (Strategic)" - Cangaceiros - and "Best Expansion"- War of the Ring The Card Game - Against the Shadow.
On Sunday, Ares’ stand will host the Third Battle of Birmingham, a large-scale participation event for the WW1 Wings of Glory, our WW1 airplane miniature game using beautiful pre-painted models. New players will be welcome – Ares’ demo crew will assist everyone in entering the battle within minutes, and an airplane miniature will be provided to the participants to play with.
