I have ordered three board games that will be arrived approx. on July 2008, here they are
1. Shear Panic (2-4 players)
This one is not a brand new board game. My friend decided to sell some of his collections, including Paniek inde Wei, dutch version of Shear Panic. Shear Panic is about a flock of sheep that will be shaved by a shearer. We have to avoid being sheared!! I loooooooooove the cute pieces!!!! take a look
2. War of The Ring (2-4 (2 vs 2) players)
REALLY can’t wait for this game!!! My boyfriend and I love LOTR so much! I can’t wait to swim in the deep scenario, deciding who’s side he or i will win the battle! WOTR’s price supposed to be quite steep, but lucky me, i got 10% discount because the store is celebrating its first anniversary.
“In War of the Ring, one player takes control of the Free Peoples (FP), the other player controls Sauron’s Armies (SA).
Initially, the Free People Nations are reluctant to take arms against Sauron, so they must be attacked by Sauron or persuaded by Gandalf or other Companions, before they start to fight properly: this is represented by the Political Track, which shows if a Nation is ready to fight in the War of the Ring or not.
The game can be won by a military victory, if Sauron conquers a certain number of Free People cities and strongholds or viceversa. But the true hope of the Free Peoples lies with the quest of the Ringbearer: while the armies clash across Middle Earth, the Fellowship of the Ring is trying to get secretly to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. Sauron is not aware of the real intention of his enemies but is looking across Middle Earth for the precious Ring, so that the Fellowship is going to face numerous dangers, represented by the rules of The Hunt for the Ring. But the Companions can spur the Free Peoples to the fight against Sauron, so the Free People player must balance the need to protect the Ringbearer from harm, against the attempt to raise a proper defense against the armies of the Shadow, so that they do not overrun Middle Earth before the Ringbearer completes his quest.
Each game turn revolves around the roll of Action Dice: each die corresponds to an action that a player can do during a turn. Depending on the face rolled on each die, different actions are possible (moving armies, characters, recruiting troops, advancing a Political Track).
Action dice can also be used to draw or play Event Cards. Event Cards are played to represent specific events from the story (or events which could possibly have happened) which cannot be portrayed through normal gameplay. Each Event Card can also create an unexpected turn in the game, allowing special actions or altering the course of a battle.

3. Carcassonne : Inns and Cathedrals
Another expansion of Carcassone. I’m a Carcassone addict! Just try the game and you will get addicted too. This expansion will add new colors (grey) so the game can be played with 6 players. There are big meeples too!
