We have a couple of new games that have been introduced for the LaMont Group to playtest. Neither is in an advanced enough stage to playtest as a full game, but some mechanics are in place:
1. Bibliotheke - this game is based upon ancient libraries around the mediterranean and mesopotamia, and the ancient writings that have been found therein. Originally to just center on the library at Alexandria, it has expanded on a board to locations your pawns can travel to. In the library the goal is to collect and then organize great literary works. The main mechanics are set collection, and a variety of different roles played by your pawns to guard, research, acquire, and as a librarian to create the collections. Each of the books have different subjects and regions that are used as "suits" to match the cards/books.
2. A baseball game (yet unnamed) that plays more as runnung a franchise than just the games. It is also based upon collecting and drafting cards of players, and collecting cards of actions that can effect the franchise, rosters and seasons of the team. Economics will play a role as funds need to be used not only for contracts, but for the facilities, advertising, merchandising, etc. Mainly a card game using multiple sets of cards.
