BARAQUE DE FRAITURE, BELGIUM, 20 December 1944: The German effort to encircle or bypass American forces in the Ardennes offensive required aggressive, even reckless pursuit of any breakthrough. Invariably, this strategy resulted in unexpected, but nonetheless vicious confrontations. One such conflagration involved file leading force of the German 560th Volksgrenadier Division and the recently deployed American 203rd AAA Battalion at a tiny Belgian crossroads called Baraque de Fraiture. A small company sized patrol of the 560th’s Kampfgruppe Schumann encountered heavy automatic weapons fire while traveling north along the N-15 highway at the small crossroads. The 80 men of this bicycle-mounted reconnaissance unit lost 12 men dead and 14 captured from the deadly M16 (nicknamed ‘Meat Choppers’) and M15A1 anti-aircraft half-tracks of the 203rd AAA Battalion. In this instance, German aggressiveness proved costly. Although this first battle of Baraque de Fraiture was to be an American victory, the German forces to follow were determined to take this vital position...

The Epic battle between Good and Evil… since time in memoriam the entities of darkness has slithered and crept through the World. They conceal themselves within the liminal, the place in between light and dark, until a weary believer loses enough faith to allow them entrance. Then they attack, forcing themselves into the flesh, quashing the host’s spirit until they have control. Opening their fleshly eyes, they see in a new light, and walk among the living. However one such malevolent being is known above the rest, feared throughout time … “And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.” He comes even now ... pray that your inner light waxes bright to fend off the encroaching evil.

Possession, the newest card game from Toy Vault, is a deceptively fun party game that lets YOU battle the onslaught of Legion. As the weeks roll past you must use your wits and special talents to keep Legion’s evil essence from spreading throughout the group. With Holy Men, the Parishioners, and the outcast Shaman, you stand in the path of evil, preventing the Old One from gaining the power needed to bring forth his demonic gathering. Hope that you seek Him out in time!

In Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments. Each round consists of one or more of five possible phases. In each round, each player secretly and simultaneously chooses one of seven different action cards and then reveals it. Only the selected phases occur. For these phases, every player performs the phase’s action, while the selecting player(s) also get a bonus for that phase. For example, if at least one player chooses the Develop action, then the Develop phase will occur; otherwise it is skipped. In it, each player may simultaneously select a development from his hand of cards to build. After revealing the cards, each player adds his development to his tableau of cards on the table and then discards cards from his hand equal to its cost. Each player who chose Develop discards one card fewer as his bonus. Explore allows a player to draw cards and select which of them to add to his hand. Settle allows a player to place a world in his tableau. Some worlds produce goods, represented by face down cards, when Produce is selected. These goods can be discarded for victory points or sold to add cards to the player’s hand by selecting Consume. With cards, players can settle new worlds and build more developments, gaining both victory points and card powers that provide advantages in certain phases. The player who best manages his cards, phase and bonus selections, and card powers to build the greatest space empire, wins. The winner is the player with the most victory points.
