The French publisher Asmodee Digital announced two more digital board games at SPIEL'19 in Essen. Adaptations of Game of Thrones: The Board Game and Blood Rage will be released next year. Both titles will initially appear for PC in 2020. Two new teaser trailers announce the games.
But that's not all: The sixth character for the digital version of Gloomhaven will appear this year: The Vermlinge, who live in cities, take refuge in the canals in order to be safe from the torture by the people. There they form strong bonds with the huge underground rat population. However, communicating with the swarms is not easy. Many miners fail when trying to control the rats, but some develop psychological skills with which they can direct the swarm. So-called mindthieves are terrifying opponents - with psychological attacks, sharp blades and tons of tiny teeth.

Players experience the political and military processes in Westeros up close and pave their own way to the iron throne.
Blood Rage: Digital Board Game will be available for PC-Steam in 2020
The digital adaptation of the board game Blood Rage should be at least as exciting. The Viking board game by Eric M. Lang features illustrations by Adrian Smith and lets players control the fortunes of their own Viking clans. The original was published by CMON and convinced Board Game Geek with a very good average rating.
In Blood Rage - Digital Edition, players control their own Viking clans. There are seven of them to choose from, each with their own warriors, leaders and ships. Lands are plundered, missions and units improved - all to lead your own clan to glorious victory.

More informationThe digital board game is aimed at one to four players who can also fight for fame in online multiplayer mode. A game should last around 30 to 60 minutes. The focus of Blood Rage is on map drafting, as well as settlements, secret actions and tasks. Units can be upgraded as the game progresses. The game concept is based on tactical combat mechanics: At the beginning of each era, cards are drafted, and in the course of a round players react to the actions of their opponents.
While fighting isn't the only way to win, Blood Rage is battle heavy. A guarantee for losing is shying away from fighting and glorious death on the battlefield (sacrificing your own troops earns you points).
