    A Game of Thrones: The Board Game Digital Edition
    Car Mechanic Simulator 2018

YAAAS! I've *almost* bought Game of Thrones the Board game like 50 times...I'm glad I caught this break!

If you aren't well acquainted with the board game world: GoT The Board Game is a true masterpiece for 6 players and captures the overall theme of conquest with alliances and betrayal very well. One of the cool things about it is that there are these 3 tracks and you will randomly 'bid' for using power points you can get in the game: The Iron Throne, The Valyrian Blade and the Raven if you are at the top of this track. The Iron Throne is cool because you decide ALL non-combat ties in the game for bids on other things.

It's a dudes on a map game, but you place markers face down on the territories you control and then flip those orders all at once (all players) so you can see who is going to attack, move, etc. You can also lend your combat power to any neighboring territory you want...so it creates a thematic feel. You cannot win the game alone with zero help...so you need to be crafty, but not too backstabby or people will not ally with you. Winner is the one who takes 7 castles on the board or it goes to 10 rounds. Amazing game!

I'll have to try it!

I'm glad they threw in Doom 64 (even though it's permanently on Game Pass or on sale for like $2), because I don't know how well packs for free-to-play games go down. I never have an interest in them.

They added a Destiny 2 pack: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/destiny-2--bun...

Thanks Frank, i would have totally missed these. I would have been pissed off in 2040 when I start playing the game and missed free DLC (my backlog is out of control with all these free games).

    Runbow

Next week (Oct 6-13):
    Rising Hell
    Slain: Back From Hell

Nice. Runbow is something I had wanted to play for a while. I skipped it on Wii U because I knew there was no chance I'd be able to get a full 9 player game going locally and I doubt the online multiplayer was ever really active (most non-1st party games on Wii U weren't). I did try it very briefly when it was ported to New Nintendo 3DS but couldn't get into an online match there either. Hopefully it is more active on PC but I suspect this is something you'll have to gather friends to play because there won't be many randoms playing. Games like this are why I wish crosss-platform multiplayer would become standard.

I did grab Runbow on the Wii U right when it came out. There were plenty of games online, at first, but that dropped off rather quickly. I only really got to enjoy it when my daughter had a couple of friends over and we played it together.
