  • Interview: Mike Selinker. Apocrypha and Llord of Vegas

    Interview: Mike Selinker. Apocrypha and Llord of Vegas
    Nov 8 2024
    In this episode Chris Dias talks to reknown game designer Mike Selinker about Apocrypha and the new edition of Lords of Vegas. About Apocrypha: The Apocrypha Adventure Card Game allows you to play it as a cooperative card game, or with a game master as a role playing game. The world is on the brink of an apocalypse, set in motion by monsters only your characters can see. Gameplay is story-based, and features deck construction and character growth. Over time, characters will unlock repressed memory fragments that will add new powers. Each mission has a unique setup and goal, which often involves hunting down a true threat hiding among the cards at the nexuses that characters investigate. The base game, called The World, comes with 584 cards, 20 six-sided dice, 1 rulebook, 1 storybook, 30 dividers, and 10 character stand-up tokens; The World contains the starting chapter of Candlepoint, Wisconsin, and also the Skinwalkers chapter. Eight more chapters appear in two expansions, The Flesh and The Devil, as well as the bonus chapter The Book of the Hybrids. Find out more on the Boardgamegeek website: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/175254/apocrypha-adventure-card-game-box-one-the-world And Lord of Vegas: The Lords of Vegas 6-player base set is a new printing of the classic board game, expanded to support 2-6 players and including modernized graphic designs, plus all of the components from the Up! expansion. In Lords of Vegas you start out with empty lots, build small casinos, and expand them as your bankroll grows. Your rivals can build next door, and they just might take you over with a clever paint job or a lucky roll of the dice. Buy, sell, trade, and gamble your way to the top as you build your empire along the storied Strip. Channel your inner casino mogul and build your piece of Paradise! This new edition from the creators of the game features redesigned money, cards, tray, and more. All the rules and components are functionally the same as the classic edition, just with a fresh coat of paint in some cases. The new Lords of Vegas includes updated components and the 5 & 6-player expansion Up!, which lets players build their casinos in three dimensions, adding new stories as their towers compete for control of the sky. Here are some improvements in the new edition. -Plays with 2-6 players. -Contains 72 dice! -Risers and the raise rule are included, at any player count. -Streamlined property cards work seamlessly with Vegas, as well as the expansion boards for Americana. -More reference cards with turn orders, replacing the less useful House and Player cards. -Turn order has been streamlined based on years of player feedback.
