Steve Jackson Games announces for release in April, 2006:
Chez Guevara
Viva la Revolution!
Chez Guevara is a stand-alone game that puts a new spin on the award-winning Chez Geek. Instead of roommates, you and your friends are grubby, desperate guerrillas, struggling for survival, freedom, and Slack in the stinking jungle!
The food is bad, everybody is shooting at you, and the Leader is nuts. But it could be worse . . . and it probably will be. Harass those of lower Rank by having them Dig Holes, inflicting KP on them . . . and then having them Fill In Holes. Raid the locals for supplies. Avoid being Denounced. Spend your money and precious time to gather enough Slack to escape back to civilization.
With great card illustrations by Greg Hyland!
This game can't be completely combined with Chez Geek, but the Thing cards from either game can be dropped into the other one.
Chez Guevara uses the Chez Geek mechanics, with a couple of new twists. Sure, you could combine any of the Chez games with Chez Guevara, but that’d be crazy!
112 cards in a tuckbox.
Stock #1392,
ISBN 1-55634-754-5.
$17.95.
Cowpoker
From James Ernest and Mike Selinker comes a fast-playing card game of cattle rustling and shootouts . . . Cowpoker.
It's a range war for two to four players. Rustle each others' cattle. Hire away each others' cowpokes. Recruit the wacky characters into your Ranch for points and bonuses, and collect them in tricks from the roundups and shootouts. Once all the cards are taken, make poker hands to score additional points! Every card can be used at least two different ways, so there's strategy as well as luck.
Each full-color card is illustrated by Greg Hyland, the artist of Burn in Hell and Munchkin Fu.
Cowpoker – the card game that's a rootin' tootin' good time until the cows come home. Yeeehaw!
66 cards in a tuckbox.
Stock #1395,
ISBN 1-55634-750-2.
$11.95.
The infinite stretches before you like . . . well, like the infinite. It's always been there, this is just the first time you've noticed. You wouldn't think it'd be so hard to miss, it being infinitely big and all. You see- ah, here, just read Mage: The Awakening. They tell it better than we do.
