(Take special note to the word “almost”). Part of me feels a little disconnected even though I still hear the same stories, read the same news and follow the industry as normal. Maybe I am self-centered, but I really believe the biggest news in the industry is the sale of GameBuyer to GTS Distribution...OK, fine, it is the Upper Deck/ Konami/Yu-Gi-Oh news that is bigger... It seems that everyone wants to keep talking about the economy’s effect on the industry. Though I have found it is mostly industry folks saying things are bad, but they are ‘getting through it’. In a lot of ways, that is great to hear. If your business is getting through it then there is hope. Ironically though, most stories I read about the economy say we will not see 2007 values until 2017 or farther. I truly hope we all have the ability to last that long. leap of faith on a product, chances are by the time you need some, it could be sold out, thus, missing the boat. Your store has a tough time ahead, but if you continue to use resources like GameBuyer to help give you real answers about the marketplace and insight about the industry, we will all be laughing about these days in the future...OK... maybe not laughing, but we will all be proud of how we got through all of it. Remember, tough times do not last, tough people do. - Aldo Ghiozzi, aldo@impressionsadv.net So, what can your store do to get through it? Well, that is pretty easy to answer...Stick with what sells. I know as times were declining your store was already reducing stock levels with items that were slow or not even ordering products you heard nothing about. By now, your store is all set with a new way of doing things, and if you are surviving now, chances are you will weather the storm. When I reitterated this to one retailer they believed this brought about another problem...if your store does not take a pg. 1 game buyer feb 09 interiors.indd 1 2/25/09 7:48:01 PM ARCHAEOLOGY: Aye, Dark Overlord THE CARD GAME PUBLISHER Z-Man Games PUBLISHER Fantasy Flight Games TITLE Archaeology Card Game TITLE Aye, Dark Overlord STOCK CODE ZMG4050 STOCK CODE FFGST05 MSRP $10.00 ea.

Plotted over a former military training camp turned into an airfield, this track has been a staple in North America since the 1930’s. Each year, the 12 hours of Sebring take place there: an endurance race whose slightly uneven course gives drivers the chance to test the resilience of their vehicle in the hot and dry (when is it not humid?) Florida weather. The second track of this expansion offers street racing fans the chance to drive wildly in the streets of Chicago - in the East Park area, to be precise. This track offers an urban terrain which alternates between curves and straight lines. This mad race in the heart of city traffic will give drivers a chance to drive along the impressive Aon Center, one of the tallest skyscrapers of the city, to cross the Lake Shore East Park and its three tightly woven lanes (be careful about collisions!), and then rush along the inner port before finally crossing two vertigo-inducing bridges.

How did a handful of sculptors, tucked away on a miniscule island, ever manage such a feat? Isolated from the rest of the world, they built more than 800 statues, each weighing several tons with certain measuring nearly 10 meters tall. Cooperation between the tribes, innovative use of wood and their earnest hard work are certainly part of the explanation for their incredible feat. These stone giants are one of the rare vestiges of a highly refined civilization, the Rapanui, who prospered for more than a millennium in peace and tranquility. Now it’s your turn to relive their inspiring adventure as builders of the moais!

It tells me what kind of art I like.” Glen Willibin, sole proprietor, Glen’s Gallery It’s not easy working for Glen Willibin, the most notorious art dealer in town. Sure, his gallery is the most respected and diverse, and you and his staff are competing to become [as we are still learning!!!]the most knowledgeable about the trends and traps of the risky world of art speculation. Still, Glen’s all about one thing: his bottom line. Fail, and you find yourself stripped of your responsibilities. Succeed, and—well, you still have a job in the morning. That’s just the way Glen is... You are all employees of Glen’s Gallery, a prestigious art gallery where you are learning the ins and outs of the business of selling fine art. Your job is to look at trends in the art world, and recommend to Glen the types of art that are going to attract the most customers. Customers are represented by cards, and at the beginning of each turn, you have a certain amount of information about the customers that will show up this month. However, you also have to watch out for art students, who drive away paying customers! At the end of each month, Glen looks at the number of customers that have expressed interest in each type of art and rewards (or penalizes) each player based on their choices.

FORMAT RPG book ORDER NOW rob@gamebuyermag.com (888) 333-9500 WE ARE NOT THE FOOTNOTES OF HISTORY. WE FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HEROES. — TOTURI KYOJI While the Great Clans are the Empire’s most obvious movers of great events, they are not the only ones. Almost since the Dawn of the Empire, the Emperor has retained the right to create Minor Clans as reward to those who have served him with great distinction, and they have carved out the right to be recognized as history. The Imperial Families — the Seppun, the Otomo and the Miya — have devoted their lives to serving the Emperor directly, and although they are small compared to the Great Clan Families, the pride that they take in their role as the Emperor’s own retained servants makes up for their lack of numbers. And ronin, though despised as “wave-men,” are always useful to their betters as freelance soldiers and on occasion important parts of the social order. Fealty and Freedom examines all of these Rokugani factions and gives them their due. Fealty and Freedom features: • Detailed histories of the Minor Clans, the Imperial Families and the role of Ronin in the Rokugan including profiles of notable characters • Advice and insight for playing characters from all of these factions and how their unique perspectives fit into the Emerald Empire • New and updated character creation and development mechanics for all existing Minor Clans, the Imperial Families and Ronin characters • Historical summery describing some of the factions that have disappeared from the Empire including the Hantei and Toturi Families and Minor Clans that have been absorbed into the Great Clans Fealty & Freedom is the definitive source for the inner workings and character of Rokugan’s minor factions. Players and game masters alike will find exciting new insight into life outside the Great Clans.

Third edition RPG icon Monte Cook comes to Paizo with a new print edition of his popular Books of Experimental Might! Previously available only in electronic form, The Collected Book of Experimental Might contains hundreds of options and new rules meant to inject life into 3.5 fantasy RPG campaigns. This collection of Monte’s own house rules includes... • A spell progression system redefining spell levels from 1 to 20 • New rules for fighting domains such as:TwoWeapon Fighting, Mounted Combat, and Fighting Dirty, as well as techniques based on agility, speed, strength, and intellect—the domains provide new abilities to fighter types willing to devote themselves to a focused path. Inherent within these two books is the idea that characters should be able to keep on adventuring longer than the rules currently allow and that every class can use some extra options for greater playability. Start your own experiment now! This book combines The Book of Experimental Might and The Book of Experimental Might II: Bloody, Bold, and Resolute. Sales Points • Support for the previous edition of the world’s most popular roleplaying game remains strong in face of fourth edition, and a high-profile release from an icon of 3.5 is one way to keep these customers engaged and returning to your store. • Previous hardcover 3.5 releases from Monte Cook have been strong sellers, often selling through their print run in record time. • Extensive promotion on Paizo.com and in more than 10,000 monthly volumes of the Pathfinder Adventure Path. pg. 10 game buyer feb 09 interiors.indd 10 2/25/09 7:48:18 PM game buyer feb 09 interiors.indd 11 2/25/09 7:48:20 PM Retailer Reviews [All scores out of a possible “10”] Scroll of the Fallen Races REVIEWED BY Brett Brooks Dr. NO’s Comics and Games Marietta, GA PUBLISHER White Wolf STOCK CODE WW80208 MSRP $24.99 FORMAT 8.5” x 11”, 160 pages, Exalted rules expansion Presentation [7]: Like most White Wolf products, Scroll of the Fallen Races is a very well-produced, slick production. The art and layout are top-notch, and the writing is well done. The only issue with the book is the odd choice for the flip-book format. This is the second book for Exalted that uses that format (along with the Book of White/Black Treatise), and unlike that book, this one suffers slightly. The other clearly shows that it was about spells and magic, while this one only allows you to display one of the races that the book covers--if someone is looking for the book on the Dragon Kings and the Mountain Folk side is face out, they might overlook it; spine out, the format will make no difference. Salability [7]: Aside from Dungeons and Dragons, Exalted is the best selling fantasy game on the market. It has a strong following, and the information on this book is useful to most games. While not a necessity for every player, it is very useful for Storytelllers, and should appeal to all of them. Gameplay [8]: At first glance, this book appears to be little more than an update of the first edition Exalted material that was presented in the Player’s Guide, but upon closer reading it is far more. The Dragon King races have been updated nicely, and the Mountain Folk material covers much never seen before. Very useful. Overall: White Wolf fans know their product. They normally come in looking for a specific release on or near the day it is supposed to be out, so instant sales are given, but on a longer term basis, this book should hold solid appeal for Storytellers and the occasional player looking for some new race or character to play. Fluxx 4.0 REVIEWED BY Jared Miller Dr. NO’s Comics and Games Marietta, GA PUBLISHER Looney Labs STOCK CODE LOO-001 MSRP $16.00 FORMAT 3-3/4”x5”x1”, 100 cards, rules Presentation [9]: Like Monty Python Fluxx, Looney Labs has left behind the tuck box for their new twopiece box for the Fluxx 4.0. The new box is much more durable and keeps the cards organized and protected. The box also has new art on the back and front that makes it much more appealing then the original design. There is a new, larger rulesheet with a section collecting all of the frequently asked question from previous versions. Salability [9]: Fluxx 4.0 is one of those games that almost sells itself, but that does not stop Looney Labs from promoting their product through their website, which offers a great retailer section, conventions, and demo copies. This new edition offers 100 cards instead of 84. The additional cards are composed of previously released promotional cards, retired cards, and completely new cards, including a new type of card, the Meta Rule! If that is not enough for new comers or owners of the previous versions, all of the card art in this set has been revitalized through new coloring, except for three which are completely redrawn. Gameplay [9]: This is still Fluxx, the ever changing card game, which is a good thing. However, there are a few surprises that are sure to excite old and new players alike. 4.0 has taken from previous releases to add new rules and cards, such as Creeper cards, retired cards, 10th Anniversary Party Pack cards, and the Meta Rule. Meta Rule is going to be the biggest game changer for people who have played Fluxx before. This is a rule card that is played at the beginning of the game, like the Basic Rules card, and will stay in play for the entire game. There is only one Meta Rule now, but there are plans for more. This is a great, easy to learn game for anyone that wants to have fun! Alhambra Exp 5 – Power of the Sultan: REVIEWED BY Steve Ellis Rainy Day Games Aloha, OR PUBLISHER Rio Grande STOCK CODE RIO A15 MSRP $29.95 FORMAT 2 – 6 players, ages 8+, 5.75” x 8” x 3” PRESENTATION [9]: This expansion is packaged such that it will fit in perfectly with the existing base game (Alhambra) and the other expansions for easy consumer identification. The box is sturdy and stands solidly on the shelf. My only complaint is the multi-lingual packaging that clutters up the back of the box but it’s certainly understandable from a cost perspective. All of the components are top notch. SALABILITY [8]: Alhambra won the 2003 Spiel des Jahres and that virtually guarantees an existing audience is ready and willing to purchase this product. This award winning game and its expansions have been strong sellers for 5 years and I see no reason for this to change. I’m also a fan of the fact that these expansions are numbered to help feed that collector that exists in most gamers. GAMEPLAY [9]: The best thing about this Alhambra expansion is that it comes with four mini expansions that may be mixed and matched in with the base game. This allows excellent customizability for the players and adds countless hours of replay value to the product. Some highlights include: New variably valued scoring tiles/ cards, Caravanserai cards utilized as money cards that build in value over time, Culture counters offer additional scoring options, and Sultan cards add opportunities to plan and scheme toward future building tile draws. All of these expansions are unique and interesting and should easily satisfy the existing fans of Alhambra. OVERALL: As much as I am skeptical of expansions milking a franchise this is not the case with Alhambra – Power of the Sultan. This expansion continues to enhance the Alhambra brand and consumers should be quite satisfied with a decision to purchase this fifth expansion. Overall: Fluxx is a consistently solid product that Looney Labs is always improving upon, which is only fitting. Hardcore and casual gamers alike will enjoy Fluxx 4.0. It is also a great entry game for people who are new to the hobby. Retailers and customers alike can not go wrong with Fluxx 4.0. OVERALL SALES POTENTIAL game buyer feb 09 interiors.indd 12 7 OVERALL SALES POTENTIAL 9 pg. 12 OVERALL SALES POTENTIAL 8.6 2/25/09 7:48:21 PM Retailer Reviews [All scores out of a possible “10”] Leader 1 REVIEWED BY Steve Ellis Rainy Day Games Aloha, OR PUBLISHER Rio Grande STOCK CODE RIO A13 MSRP $59.95 FORMAT 2 - 10 players, ages 14+, 14.75” x 11.5” x 2” PRESENTATION [8]: The cover art for this box is perfect for cycling fans. In addition, the back of the box does a wonderful job of showing off the game components and summarizing the style of gameplay. Inside the box there are some of the most solid hex tiles that I have ever seen - these are utilized to build the racecourse. The plastic cyclists are cute and functional but I didn’t appreciate the annoying die that requires the placement of stickers. The box itself isn’t standard and has an attached folding lid but it works quite well. SALABILITY [5]: Alas, despite my personal love of cycling games, I do not feel that a $60 cycling game has a huge potential market in the US. However, if your store has any fans of racing games this could be a sleeper success story if it is given an opportunity. GAMEPLAY [8]: This game does an excellent job of capturing the feel of professional cycling. Riders get an amount of energy based on the course layout and then may choose to expend that energy whenever they choose throughout the race. The cleverest aspect of the game is that all the riders move as one with the peloton unless a rider has broken away or fallen out the back of the peloton. Choosing when to break away is where the action is in this game. Movement of the peloton is handled with a die roll but is also subject to some +/- conditions imposed by the starting player each round. Individual movement consists of a die roll and the expenditure of energy by the rider. Many aspects of cycling are accounted for with great success such as drafting, rider specialties (climbers/sprinters), and scoring/timing for stage racing. Master of Rules Alhambra Exp 5 – Power of the Sultan: REVIEWED BY Jeremy Mueller Rainy Day Games Aloha, OR REVIEWED BY Scott Thorne, PhD Castle Perilous Games Carbondale, IL PUBLISHER Z-Man Games PUBLISHER Catalyst Game Lab STOCK CODE ZMG 4049 MSRP $10.00 FORMAT 3 1/2” x 4 1/2” x 3/8” Box with 110 cards PRESENTATION [7]: This game is graphically very simple. I enjoyed the nice clean layout on the cards and box. The back of the box could have been a little better, giving an idea of what a game looks like being played, or a better explanation of how the game is played. The back of the box makes the game seem fairly stiff, when it’s a fun filler game. SALABILITY [5]: Z-Man Games has a few light card games in their line, and this is a decent addition to their line. Z-Man does promote their games at conventions and has a retail locator on their site. They are also fairly active on Board Game Geek and manage to get their customers excited about some of their new games. This game doesn’t have much buzz right now, and most likely won’t as it was a 2007 Essen release that didn’t get rave reviews. This edition is much nicer with better written rules, so that helps a bit. GAMEPLAY [6]: This is an odd trick taking games. Each trick consists of 2 rounds of each player playing either a number or a rule, but you must play one of each in total. You then check to see who managed to succeed at their rule, and they keep that rule as a victory point. You get bonus victory points for getting 3 of a kind, and 1 of each of the 5 rules. Fairly simple, it seems fairly random, but has a decent amount of strategy. The only issue is the game is fairly random with 3 or 4 players as there are dummy players that play random cards that can hurt everyone. STOCK CODE 26302 MSRP $24.99 FORMAT Softcover 8 12x11”. 160 pages with B&W interiors GAMEPLAY [4]: Since Ghost Cartels is a campaign sourcebook for Shadowrun, gameplay use is really limited to Shadowrun gamemasters. Players will find very little to use. SALABILITY [3]: Normally, Shadowrun products do very well in our store. However, all of our initial order of Ghost Cartels is still sitting on the New Release shelf. Shadowrun customers are not as interested, apparently, in campaign settings as they are in more general sourcebooks. PRESENTATION [5]: Ghost Cartels follows the standard format Catalyst has adpoted for its products. The front cover features the Shadowrun logo and title on the top with the illustration taking up the bottom two-thirds while the back cover features a reproduction of the front cover illustration and a brief synoposis of the contents. The title is clearly visible on the spine so racking it spine out won’t be a problem. No index, but there’s a very complete 2 page TOC as well as lots of material for the Shadowrun gamemaster. OVERALL: Going to be a very slow seller, much like the Shadowrun: Emergence campaign book. OVERALL: It will sell if you bring it in, but it’s not going to fly off the shelves. This isn’t something to stock deep, but there isn’t much investment sitting on your shelves. OVERALL: This is a solid racing game and most gamers will enjoy it if given the opportunity. However, stores will likely need to work to sell it unless they exist in a community that is crazy about cycling.
