InQuest 17 - 48 - Gamer's Guide '96
everything two people need to play. It
should retail for $24.95
The first expansion, Wilds of Doom, comes
in a box with 26 dice and has a suggested
retail price of $19.95. Again, few of these
dice differ from box to box. However, if you
want to use any of the game's later expan-
sions, you must have a copy of Wilds of Doom.
The first collectible expansion set,
Doomcubes, will be released this fall. Each
$5.95 pack comes with eight dice from a
110-dice set.
Last Unicorn Games
CCGs: Heresy: Kingdom Come was one of
the most anticipated games of last year, rec-
ognizably unique for its long-card format.
At Gen Con, Last Unicorn will release the
game's first supplement, Project Demiurge.
This 90-card set extends the original story-
line, moving beyond the Ruin introduced in
the first set and into the Forsaken Earth.
This set features many of the artists
that worked on the original game, ensur-
ing some beautiful artwork. Since LUG has
vowed to print only enough 12-card
booster packs ($2.65 each) to fulfill dis-
tributor pre-orders, you can be sure that
this will be one scarce set.

Hunt (see below) had dinosaur cards in it
demanded a collectible version. Voila! Dino
War is sold in five-card foil packs for 99
cents each. There's not much to the
game - it's basically War - but you get to
play with those ultracool ancient lizards.

Dino Hunt for ages 8 and up, you travel back
in time to the Jurassic period to hunt for
dinosaurs for a futuristic park. The game is
card-driven, educational and easy to learn.
