Welcome to the Gamer Nation! \u00a0Founded in 2010, Gamer Nation LLC was formed to produce board games and provide gaming related entertainment for the masses! \u00a0Going all the way back to 2008, The Gamer Nation was a term coined by our first Podcast on the d20radio network, The Order 66 Podcast.<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoy our site and all the community offerings we have here, including d20Radio, Gamer Nation Con, the backer zone\u00a0and all our board game based content.<\/p>\n

THE BIG BANG IS HERE!<\/strong><\/p>\n

EONS: Building Blocks<\/a> has entered public playtesting! \u00a0Originally designed by GM Dave while in The Philippines in June 2013, the game has undergone extensive internal testing and was briefly demonstrated at GENCON 2013. \u00a0It was overhauled again over the winter and emerged in March for public playtesting and has been met with rave reviews!<\/p>\n

EONS:Cosmic Expansions<\/a> has funded on kickstarter and will expand EONS with 3 new card sets, more cooperative rules, solitaire rules, secret agendas and new galaxy cards. \u00a0We expect the games to begin shipping and be available in game stores in July.<\/p>\n

\"EonsLogo21\"<\/p>\n

Current Games in production include\u00a0our newest game,\u00a0EONS<\/a>. \u00a0We are extremely proud to bring this exciting strategy game to you, in which players take on the\u00a0role\u00a0of Cosmic Architects, shaping the universe in their own way using the currency of the game, essence, which represents the will and power of each architect. \u00a0Players\u00a0build stars and orbiting planets, and use events such as cosmic collisions and supernovae to destroy competing players\u2019 planets and stars. \u00a0Every cosmic body that is destroyed causes the universe to slowly spin out of control, represented by the entropy counter at the center of the board. \u00a0Once the counter hits, zero, the game is over and the player with the most victory points wins! \u00a0Players use resource management strategies to create the right balance of elements to build more cosmic bodies, and rely on the power of fusion within their stars to create heavier elements needed for larger stars and planets that generate more victory points. \u00a0EONS<\/a>\u00a0can also be be ordered through our\u00a0web store<\/a>\u00a0or through your FLGS.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edition Wars, a tongue in cheek card game in which players, playing the role of a GM, try to battle each other using Snarky Comments, Merchandising and Blogs to woo players to their gaming group. \u00a0It is not that simple, however, as GMs have a bevy of tools that help them attack or defend with greater strength and\u00a0those items take the form of special event cards like \u201cYou took the last Mountain Dew\u201d and swag such as \u201cThe +2 Gaming Table of Awesome\u201d. \u00a0At the end of the game, the first GM to attain 6 players can declare their edition supreme and raise the banner of victory! \u00a0Edition Wars can be ordered through our\u00a0web store<\/a>\u00a0or through your FLGS.<\/p>\n

Upcoming Games<\/h4>\n

Quintessential:The Fifth Element<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quintessential is playable by two to five players<\/b> in about 45 minutes<\/b>. All players begin as elementary students of alchemy. Players draw from a common store of knowledge and share a laboratory, but it\u2019s up to each individual to determine how best to combine the elements that are available. Players use the element dice in their element pool in formulas either in their personal lab OR the community lab. \u00a0Each action requires a lab worker to be placed on the card being activated or claimed for use. \u00a0Once used, the element generated can be rolled or free placed on another formula card, potentially completing chain reactions and producing multiple elements at the same time.<\/p>\n

Catastrophe!<\/strong><\/p>\n

A quick hit RPG by Jay Little, each player manages a cast of characters in an episode of their show, only everything goes wrong, and the players quickly make up the episode as they go. \u00a0The game is fluid, without boundary and will be available via kickstarter in April, 2015!<\/p>\n

Pillage!<\/strong><\/p>\n

PILLAGE! is a fun and fast paced card game in which the players control a crew of three monsters (Kobolds, Ogres, Orcs, or Goblins) who are on a mission to pillage and ransack a local peaceful village. \u00a0As players commence their onslaught, they must use sound strategy and nimble tactics, as the peaceful hamlet may reveal an angry mob or knight that will fight to defend their home to the death! \u00a0The game ends when the locale has been completely plundered, and each building destroyed or villager defeated will grant the players victory points. \u00a0At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points wins.<\/p>\n

The game plays quickly, averaging 30 minutes, and due to the randomness of the card draw mechanic, each playthrough is different from the last providing a unique experience with each subsequent playthrough. \u00a0PILLAGE! will initially ship with two locales (with varying degrees of difficulty) to plunder, but additional locations will be made available both through print-and-play as well as via retail expansion. \u00a0We expect PILLAGE! to launch its funding campaign in Q1 2015.<\/p>\n
