The makers of Star Realms, have announced that they have changed the company name to Wise Wizard Games. As the company continues to expand, they want to have a name that best represents their vision and their community.
“Our original company name was a throwback to Gandalf, the iconic fantasy character. Based on feedback from the community and our future plans to broaden our product line, we decided it was time for a change,” said Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games.
Wise Wizard Games announced new games in the design and development pipeline:

Fjords
Fjords is a true grail game... so Grail Games is bringing it back in a big way - with the help of Beth Sobel & Phil Walker-Harding!
Fjords is a tile-laying game that takes place in two phases. First, the players explore the fjords around them by laying hexagonal landscape tiles. Second, beginning from the encampments placed during phase one, players will walk the landscape, claiming as much of the plains and cliffs as possible.
The winner of the game will be the player who has claimed the most land. Savvy placements and the ability to plan ahead yet act tactically will be your most important tools.
This new edition of Fjords differs from the original release in the following ways:
-
The game now plays up to four players.
-
The game contains five new variants/modules designed by Phil Walker-Harding. These add optional variety and flavor to the game.

So, You've been Eaten.
Don’t worry, this is simply an occupational hazard.
In So, You've Been Eaten. the Miner and the Beast will face off against one another.
The Miner earns points by collecting Crystals located in literally the Belly of the Beast, and the Beast earns points by developing Immune Responses and by its Bacteria attacking the Miner.
The game ends in a win for the Miner if they collect all 8 different Crystals, and the Beast wins by digesting the Miner after four Bacteria of the same type have attacked.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that the Miner will simply pass through the Beast’s system, and then the player with the most points wins!

Terminator RPG
The official tabletop roleplaying game based on the 1984 movie, 'The Terminator' & all associated Dark Horse Comic graphic novels.
Join the Human Resistance. The world is a wasteland—broken by the machines we built. Our own creations, our own hubris. Not in some distant future. Today. Now. The machines think they have won. But there is one last chance for humankind, a secret weapon that Skynet in its infinite calculations could never have anticipated—you.
Play in any time zone—including the 1980s and future war. All the main characters from the movie, such as Sarah Connor, Kyle Reese, and the T-800 are included, as is content from the graphic novels and all all-new, never seen before Terminator variants and hardware.
