Red Raven-Spiele

Sleeping Gods: Dungeons adds six dungeons to Sleeping Gods. Each dungeon contains a map and stories. In a dungeon, the gameplay will be slightly changed from the regular game. Each card is printed on thick card stock (Letter-sized, 8.5×11 inches). A separate dungeon booklet contains all the descriptions, encounters and puzzles you will experience during your exploration. You can access these dungeons in specific locations in the atlas of the Sleeping Gods base game. When you reach a location that contains a dungeon, you can choose to read from the standard storybook or explore the dungeon located there instead. The specified location number is located in the upper left corner of the dungeon map. Each dungeon contains dangerous traps, vicious monsters and treasures for you to find. Because dungeons take longer to explore than a standard location, there are a few minor changes to the game when you enter one. In the dungeon, players take turns performing two actions, including moving to new rooms, exploring your surroundings, and more.

Far south of The Last Ruin lies a clifftop village called The Monument. For generations it protected an ancient shrine until the day a crystal meteorite fell. The inhabitants of the meteor slowly crept into the world - bizarre monsters from a nightmare, attacking everyone in their path. As they spread across the land, there was no intelligent malice or grand invasion strategy; the creatures behaved like a fungus and sporadically spread into new territory. After many fruitless attempts to drive away the monsters, the people of The Monument fled as their village collapsed, banished to distant lands, resigned to a nomadic existence. Twenty years later, there are rumors that the bizarre monsters are becoming weak. They are slower, less impervious to attack, some undergo gradual petrification until they crumble into dust. Is it the atmosphere? Do they die of old age? Are they suffering from some strange disease? No one knows for sure, but as word spreads, various factions have their eyes on the vacant, ruined village of The Monument. The original villagers, now refugees, are desperate to return and rebuild. But they have to do it quickly, before someone else claims their home. This is their chance. It is now or never. In Now or Never, you and up to three friends compete to rebuild your ancestral village as best you can and guide the rest of the villagers on their journey home. Although the meteorite creatures have lost much of their power, many of them remain, and you must fight them to protect traveling villagers. Now or Never is the third game in the Arzium storybook series that includes Above and Below and Near and Far. Now or Never is a competitive strategy game that allows you to: Choose one of four asymmetrical characters to play. Rebuild the village so returning villagers have a place to live.

Islebound: Emerald Edition is a special edition of the game with some modified components and rules. It is best viewed as a variant of the game, rather than a 2nd edition. Islebound: Emerald Edition Upgrade Pack was available for owners of the original edition. The metal coins and painted wooden ships were also available separately as Islebound: Emerald Edition Deluxe Components. This edition of Islebound removes the book resource from the original game and replaces it with emeralds. Emeralds have different uses than books. You collect them when visiting a player-controlled city and when you take over a city. Emeralds must be used to purchase building cards, and they can also be used to perform special abilities, such as retaining pirates and snakes after battles! The building deck has been adjusted to account for this resource change. It includes modified building cards from both the original game and some from the Metropolis expansion. There will be no building card expansion for Islebound: Emerald Edition, and the Metropolis expansion is not compatible with this version.
