The following games are in development by the Quixotic team.
Marvel Strike Teams: Avengers Initiative
Publisher: WizKids / Release: October 2018
Avengers Initiative is the first expansion for Marvel Strike Teams, the tabletop strategy game that allows you to send a strike team of heroes to invade the base of a villainous mastermind in order to complete challenging scenarios.
Each player controls a character with a HeroClix Combat Dial to track their level and build points, with one player as the Mastermind controlling the villains and all the other players controlling the heroes.
This expansion features some of Marvel's most powerful villains, including Loki, the Asgardian God of Mischief, and Ultron, the would-be world conqueror. Standing against them are some of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Vision, Black Widow, and the Falcon, accompanied by their ally from S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Phil Coulson. But the masterminds are not without their own allies, including the inimitable Absorbing Man and the unpredictable Agent Grant Ward.
Core Worlds: Empires
Publisher: Stronghold Games / Release: TBA
Six Empires have risen from the ashes of the Galactic Realm. Still cemented by the alliance that enabled their unprecedented conquest of the galaxy, the six independent kingdoms now seek to consolidate their power, each hoping to carve out the strongest dominion in the cosmos. Conflicts among the young realms are inevitable, but will the galaxy return to a state of civil war?
Core Worlds: Empires is a worker placement game for 2 - 6 players. Each world in the galaxy occupies a board space that ambassadors (workers) can visit during the game. The worlds that appear during each game are variable. Each player starts with a certain number of worlds under her control, and more worlds enter the game as play proceeds.
At the start of the game, each player controls one unique worker that represents her faction leader (Chancellor Augustus, Baron Viktor, Prince Aaron, Empress Elona, Simon the Fox, or Lord Banner), as well as three generic ambassadors. All players periodically receive new generic ambassadors, but each player always possesses the same number of "workers." Players may upgrade their generic ambassadors into unique heroes in order to increase the quality of their individual workers.
Nemo Rising: Robur the Conqueror
Publisher: WizKids / Release: 2019
Nemo Rising: Robur the Conqueror is the first in a series of cooperative games that follow the new adventures of Captain Nemo and the crew of the Nautilus, as reintroduced by C. Courtney Joyner in his new novel, Nemo Rising. The game allows 2 - 4 players to assume the roles of the protagonists of the series as they explore new worlds, overcome dangerous obstacles, and complete challenging missions.
The game board represents a starting point for many adventures. As you play different missions, you place Adventure Tiles face down on the board's empty spaces to represent the different adventure areas. For example, in the Nemo Rising base set, the board can either represent an underwater Sea Grotto where resources need to be collected (with each "room" representing part of a Sea Garden or Underwater Cavern), or it could represent Robur's sprawling City in the Sky (with each room representing a different building).
You and your friends play cooperatively, so you win or lose as a team. Some scenarios will be more challenging than others, allowing you to play at the difficulty level that suits you. As expansions for the game are released, new settings such as the Center of the Earth or the Moon itself will be introduced to the game.
