Watch “May Flowers in my GameRoom! Three new games for your springtime sparetime.,” a how-to-play guide for Desperate Rescue on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

Greetings, gamer! This week I'm introducing three games from our NewVenture catalog suitable for your springtime family gatherings. 00:00 Intro 01.20 Apiary Dice Game — NOTE: The name of this game will soon change due to a Trade Mark conflict. Please stand by for more information. This is a fast and fun game for 2 to 6 players, easy to learn for a wide range of players. Rolling dice and claiming cards for points is not uncommon, but Apiary adds some features of several games together for a new game experience. https://newventuregames.com/products/apiary 05:42 Desperate Rescue — The second game this week is Desperate Rescue. It's a jump-and-capture game but each of the two players has a different objective. A prisoner is housed in a dungeon, and one player's mission is to keep that prisoner locked up. The other player is attempting to rescue the prisoner from an unjust fate. Makes a great travel game! https://newventuregames.com/products/desperate-rescue https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/420568/desperate-rescue 08:05 Auras — Auras is the third game for this episode. It's a 2-player strategy game that relies on the "aura" of each peg placed on the board. When two pegs of the same color are placed on either side of a vacant hole, the player gets to claim that hole. The game starts out simple enough, but as the board gets crowded the possibilities reveal more strategic choices. https://newventuregames.com/products/auras https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/420567/auras Thanks for your support!

About Desperate Rescue, from BoardGameGeek:

Desperate Rescue is a 2-player abstract peg game similar to Norse tafl games. The players have asymmetrical forces and different goals. One player is attempting to rescue a prisoner from a dungeon, and the prison guards are out to thwart their efforts. The circular board adds a further twist to the game play as the rescuers attempt to open a path of escape for the unfortunate inmate of the castle keep. The guards, however, need to ensure that this doesn't happen. The basic moves include the traditional jump-and-capture variety but with some restrictions. -description from the publisher
