The Phantom Of The Opera

Her voice became his passion... Her love became his obsession... Her refusal became his rage!

A timeless story of seduction and despair, Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera is set at the Paris Opera House, where a beautiful soprano becomes the obsession of a mysterious, disfigured musical genius. Asmodee Editions' The Phantom of the Opera takes this classic work and turns it into a two-player cat-and-mouse game of wits and deception.

The Opera House is clearly haunted, and the ghost wants to drive off La Carlotta, the lead diva. Chandeliers fall, strange voices whisper from the shadows, and it's only a matter of time before she leaves Paris forever. Portray the Phantom and scare off La Carlotta, or play as the investigator and discover the true identity of the fiend before it's too late.  SRP: $42.99.

BattleTech: Alpha Strike

For centuries, the armies of the Great Houses have fought to reclaim the glory of the fallen Star League, sending regiments of their elite MechWarriors into battle across hundreds of worlds as humanity slid inexorably toward a new Dark Age. The coming of the Clans - descendants of the lost Star League army - did little to stem the slaughter. It only raised the stakes...

Alpha Strike is a new fast-playing form of the BattleTech game of futuristic, armored combat. Developed for the modern tabletop miniatures wargamer, BattleTech: Alpha Strike brings players the ability to wage war on land, sea and air using the Quick-Strike game system first devised in Strategic Operations for truly large-scale play, re-scaled to the tactical level of "classic" BattleTech. 

Alpha Strike comes complete with sample armies and a ready-to-play campaign system - everything you need to fight for control over the Inner Sphere on land, sea and air - one world at a time. SRP: $39.99.

Firefly: The Game

"After the Earth was used up, we found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earths were terra formed and colonized. The central planets formed the Alliance and decided all the planets had to join under the rule. There was some disagreement on that point. After the War, many of the Independents who had fought and lost drifted to the edges of the system, far from Alliance control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work a gun would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying."

~ Shepherd Derrial Book ~

The popular television Firefly comes to life in a new board game from Gale Force Nine and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. An evocative universe, great storytelling, and compelling characters made Firefly a fan-favorite for more than a decade. Now, fans of the television show and board games, generally, can chart their own course with Firefly: The Game!

In Firefly: The Game, players captain their Firefly-class transport ship, traveling the 'Verse with a handpicked crew of fighters, mechanics, and other travelers. As a captain desperate for work, players are compelled to take any job - so long as it pays. Double-dealing employees, heavy-handed Alliance patrols, and marauding Reavers are all in a day's work for a ship's captain at the edge of the 'Verse.

Coming soon to The Gaming Pit, in Guaynabo, P.R.
