Harebrained Schemes will be releasing Golem Arcana at Gen Con 2014.  Golem Arcna is an action point allowance and movement game on a modular board.  The game's stylus reads an invisible code on the bases of the miniatures and you can either roll an electronic die or a physical and quickly input the results.  Designed by Seth Johnson, Michael Mulvihill, and Jordan Weisman the game is for 2 to 8 players with a playtime of 45 minutes. From the publisher: Golem Arcana is an expandable board game of the battles between armies of magical Golems, the Mages who master them, and the Ancient Ones they call on for supernatural powers. Though the Golem Arcana game mechanics are deep and sophisticated, the game moves quickly and is accessible by a very wide audience due to all of the mechanics and record keeping being handled by the game’s TDI stylus and mobile App. The initial two player game includes a game board (larger than the one in the video), 6 fully painted and assembled Golem figures (50mm+ tall) and the TDI stylus. Expansion sets will add more figures, game boards, and thus the ability to add additional players. Players assemble armies looking for the combination of attributes and special actions that allows them to realize their strategy. A typical army would consist of four to six Golem figures, each with an associated Golem Master or Blood Knight, and a couple of Ancient Ones to supply supernatural powers. Golems are represented on the game board with pre-painted figures while the Golem Masters, Blood Knights and Ancient Ones are presented in the game as digital characters within the mobile App. August, 2014: Base Game Set Durani - The Khan's Pyre Expansion (Harpy, Fire Ram, Winged Preserver) Gudanna - The Khan's Pyre Expansion (Sand Lion, Dune Viper, Fire Djinn) Urugal - The Khan's Pyre Expansion (Horned Blight, Plague Bringer, Carrion Raptor) Zikia - The Khan's Pyre Expansion (Bramble Horn, Woodguard, Dryad) Map Tiles Set 1 September, 2014 Durani Jagara Colossus Map Tiles Set 2
