Players, each acting as one of these unique characters, are given 3-5 Tryal cards (depending on the number of players). These Tryal cards reveal the true identity of each player, “Witch” or “Not a Witch.” And, this just in – each copy of Bristol 1350 Deluxe now comes with the new MeePawns!! These wonderful little resin pawns represent each of the game characters and just a little bit more magic to the already sweet deluxe experience! Another incredible experience from stem to stern… This is a standalone game. It is Volume 4 in the Dark Cities Series by Facade Games (previous Volumes include Salem 1692, Tortuga 1667, Deadwood 1876). The latest in the Façade Games, wonderfully imaginative game-in-a-hidden-book series! OK… I don’t think that’s the official title of the series… but you get the idea. These games are not only incredibly fun… they look amazing on your game shelf – or your bookshelf for that matter! 😉 For 2-9 Players. 20-40 minutes. Ages 12+. Deadwood 1876 – Volume 3 in the Dark Cities series from Facade Games
The game, disguised as a worn-out leather book, can easily hide on your bookshelf and masquerade as an antique. I have a feeling that even the most die-hard, “upgraded components are a waste of money and I want every board game to be cheap cardboard and dull colors because it’s only the mechanics that matter” boardgamers would be hard-pressed to deny the allure of the beautiful metal components included here. OK, Mike… Maybe they could deny it
Escape the plague that is ravaging your city!
Remedies range from crushed emerald, to arsenic, to that perennial curative favourite-leeches. Each of them – if tactically deployed – can mean the difference between a dotage spent lounging beneath the lazy arc of a windmill, or the premature penance of a wheezing, grasping death. Players play as prominent villagers from the old Salem town, and even read their bios in the instruction manual. The servant girl Mary Warren, pastor Samuel Parris, farmer John Proctor, storyteller Tituba, and beggar Sarah Good are some of the 12 characters featured in the game. On the surface Bristol 1350 is part cooperative teamwork, part racing strategy, and part social deduction. In reality, it’s a selfish scramble to get yourself out of town as fast as possible without the plague, by any means necessary. Pre-pub link is up, and the game is getting great numbers to start. https://www.gmtgames.com/p-1083-wings-for-the-baron-deluxe-gmt-edition.aspx On the design side of things, I applaud Facade Games for doing something original with the bookshelf look of their games. This, combined with the terrific art and graphic design, makes the game something you can be proud to display. Overall, I found Bristol 1350 very playable and it has seen its turn at our table many times since we first played it, making it GeekDad Approved and worthy of a place on your bookshelf and game table!
OK… before I start getting into the details… I need to eat dinner and go to sleep. Mondays on my ship are always a tad hectic… and well, I need my rest ? It shows the course coming in roughly on a line alongside the northern edge of Castle Park now - between Castle Park and Broadmead, before bending north into Broadmead and following what is now the main road of Rupert Street. Read More Related Articles The greatness of Bristol rested on an economy which centred around inland and overseas trade. Goods poured in from the many English towns including Chester, Milford Haven, London and Plymouth. The burden of transportation was lessened by the close proximity of rivers like the Severn and Avon. This relatively efficient system of waterways allowed agricultural produce, iron, timber, cloth, wool, fish, and tin to be easily shipped from throughout England into Bristol's harbour and from there on to Ireland, northern Europe, France and Spain. In exchange, Bristol imported goods such as wine, spices and olive oil (Carsus-Wilson 1; Williams 16).Adjusting my cowl, I wrenched tighter my rags to conceal the bubonic swell that was even now pulsing ‘neath the crook of my arm- holding my breath as I mouthed a silent prayer.
Before long, accusations will be flying, and screams of “She’s a WITCH!” will wake the neighbours. Will you be the hero who purges your town of witches, or will you be wrongly accused and hung for witchcraft? Or perhaps you will be a witch yourself, escape conviction, and bring Salem to the ground. Tortuga 1667 – Volume 2 in the Dark Cities Series by Facade GamesAs I have a bit more time now (as compared to when I was writing the original Facade Games write up – which is below), I’ll proceed with a standard Upstart write up for the deluxe edition of Bristol 1350. 😁 Following that write-up is the exceptionally abbreviated write up for the rest of the series.. hehe. Bristol 1350 Deluxe is here! Buglers, sound off!! 📯 Much of Bristol's early importance rested upon its wool trade with Ireland. It has been estimated that by the 15th century, Ireland provided a market for at least one third of the cloth exported from Bristol. In return, it received merchandise nearly double the value: corn, linen, timber, cattle and fish which was a staple food in the English diet. As the superior quality of English wool became known throughout Europe, Bristol's trade expanded to encompass the Baltic (Carus-Wilson 2, 3; Kemp 110). Bristol city centre grew in the space between two rivers, the mighty tidal River Avon, and the tributary, the River Frome, which flowed down from the north, and joined the Avon where now the Floating Harbour is at its widest - between the Arnolfini and the amphitheatre.
OK everyone… I really, really wanted to get these bad boys uploaded into the shop… and well, I am running out of daylight on this here Sunday evening ??If you have the Deluxe Edition, it also includes some component upgrades and additional components to play the Alms Expansion: The book is catchily-entitled ‘Memoirs Historical and Topographical of Bristol and its Neighbourhood’, with the sub-heading ‘from the earliest period down to the present time’.
