[Halloween Special] Time to get spooky!

Post by DrClick »

Image

Sing with me...
It is the time of the year when you get disconnected,
Your opponents dice are only rolling sixes,
And the game you just started will never end...
'cause you are probably playing with some ghosts!
...

This is HALLOWEEN ! BGALLOWEEN to be more accurate.
And we have plenty of things to play during this special event!

- You can test your skills at sewing a new skin for Frankenstein, with the all-new HALLOWEEN theme for PATCHWORK and some tiles cost adjusted...

- And what about haunting some houses, using some of your ghostly family powers in a 1 vs 1 game of Rest In Peace?

- Do you smell that pumpkin scent in the air tonight? Get in the jam with that very special Halloween expansion for King Of Tokyo!

- Jekyll or Hyde? Will you be able to choose? And who is a better opponent that your inner self? (UPDATE: the game is now free starting today :) )

- Will you balance for the light, or the shadow? Discover which one suits you the best in Res Arcana, with the fully-loaded expansion Lux and Tenebrae.

Of course, there are plenty of games that you can turn into Halloween-themed ones. Our small selection includes updates for some of our games that are worth trying now to get in the season's mood. What will you play this week? Let us know in the comments!

And tomorrow, there will not be any game release...
MUhahahahaah.

Just kidding. See you then for more games. ;)
Take care and play fair!

I'm all for variety, but the Patchwork skin has broken the ability to play Arena mode.

RE the Patchwork Halloween update: the button cost on the 6-square cross piece is incorrect. It is supposed to be 1 but it is 0 in the game.

Also, I'm inclined to think that Elo ratings between Original/Americana and Halloween should be calculated independently from one another. These are functionally different games.

I'm not seeing the Halloween expansion in King of Toyko or in any active games, from my quick glance. Am I missing something?

I wanted to take a screen shot to convince friends to play KoT on our game night!

UPDATE from Lookout Studio: Patchwork Halloween comes with some changes to regular Patchwork. Uwe has rebalanced 14 patches, hence the changes in cost/time on these patches. This shall reduce the slightly start player advantage. Please check this out! Cheers from the Lookout

Patchwork Halloween is a special treat for all fans and will only be available until November 2nd - after this date Arena mode will be back to normal.

I'm aware of the changes to the Halloween edition. BGA's representation of this particular change is incorrect.

Nice variation for people who like it. Can you please change the Arena settings back to normal? So that people have a choice which edition they like to play. Even when I can ignore the fact that I really don't like playing with eye balls I simply cannot see proper what I am doing with these dark colors.
People who prefer the Halloween edition can play it in regular games or in tournaments.
