[Now Available] Dominion: Prosperity

NOW AVAILABLE!
Rio Grande Games
Dominion: Prosperity

Ah, money. There's nothing like the sound of coins clinking in your hands. You vastly prefer it to the sound of coins clinking in someone else's hands, or the sound of coins just sitting there in a pile that no-one can quite reach without getting up. Getting up, that's all behind you now. Life has been good to you. Just ten years ago, you were tilling your own fields in a simple straw hat. Today, your kingdom stretches from sea to sea, and your straw hat is the largest the world has ever known. You also have the world's smallest dog, and a life-size statue of yourself made out of baklava. Sure, money can't buy happiness, but it can buy envy, anger, and also this kind of blank feeling. You still have problems - troublesome neighbors that must be conquered. But this time, you'll conquer them in style.

This is the 4th addition to the game of Dominion. It adds 25 new Kingdom cards to Dominion, plus 2 new Basic cards that let players keep building up past Gold and Province. The central theme is wealth; there are treasures with abilities, cards that interact with treasures, and powerful expensive cards.

For 2 to 4 Players
Age 8+
Play Time ~30 Minutes
MSRP: $44.95

Note: This is an expansion to the Dominion line; it is not a complete game. You need a stand-alone Dominion set to play this game.

If you pre-ordered a copy, be sure to ask for it at the checkout counter, as we have set your copy aside. we even have a few copies for the shelf, so come and get them while they last!

[Demo Games] Z-Man Games Prolix!

Designed by Gil Hova

In Prolix, players score points by coming up with words whose letters match those of the tiles on the board. Unlike other word games, you don’t need all the letters of a word to be on the board to use that word. This means that you are free to use all those words you always wanted to use in other word games, but were always a few tiles or cards short! Of course, the letters in your word won’t score if they aren’t on the board, so even huge words can be stinkers if you don’t use them at the right time.

Letters score based on how rare they are and where they are on the board. Once you finish scoring your letters, all tiles move across the board, changing their value. If you have a great word, but it’s not your turn, you’re allowed to interrupt another player’s turn and score. But be careful, because you can lose points by interrupting with low-scoring words. And, of course, other players can interrupt your turn if they wish, or even force you to say a word by flipping the timer. A new type of word game!

THE BOARD and SCORE SHEETS

Contents: 77 letter tiles, 1 cloth bag, 1 game board, 5 pencils, 2 pads of scoresheets (double-sided), 45-second sand timer, rules
No. of players: 1-5
Ages: 9+
Playing time: 45 minutes
Price: $24.99
Stock code: ZMG 4067

Join us at Chimera Hobby Appleton on December 18th, when the Z-Force will be in town to demonstrate Prolix! The free demos of Prolix run from 10:30 to 2:00.
