Gone Cardboard News: Frontiers - New from Asmodée Editions
Asmodée Editions has announced a new game for the fourth quarter of 2007: Frontiers, a two-player game by Hervé Clement. Here’s a description from the publisher:
| In the confines of the Pacified Empire of Humanity, the Legion of Democracy brings the marvelous concept of democracy to alien races. Poor creatures who do not know the treasures that our way of life can bring often confront the brave soldiers. In the name of the struggle against the Axis of Evil, our legionnaires have sworn loyalty and obedience to our Emperor, leader and divine inspiration, and fight for the triumph of the law, peace and the Holy Scriptures!
Those who do not stand with us, stand against us! |
Am I the only one doing a double-take after reading this? But wait, we get a view from the other side of the battlelines as well:
| In the confines of the Zirl galactic hub, the tachyonic combat applets valiantly weather the assaults of the infamous totalitarian terran forces. The brave nanosoldiers courageously fight against the terran brutes who do not suspect the extent of the riches of our antediluvian civilization.
Those who do not stand with us, stand against us! Take command of your units, terran or alien, and get ready for war! |
Yes, the aliens are just like us, yet completely different, so we must subjugate them to make them even more like us. Naturally they feel the same way about us, so bring on the short-range missiles and uranium-enriched ammunition and get this party started.
Check out the Asmodée Editions Frontiers webpage for a list of game components and multiple images from the game. Frontiers is for ages 10 and up, plays in 45 minutes, and sells for $30. This game has been updated on Gone Cardboard.

"Am I the only one doing a double-take after reading this?” I suspect you are, Eric; the rest of us are doing triple-takes! My goodness, you don’t suppose they might be getting their inspiration for that flavor text from any current events, do you? Posted by Larry Levy on Jul 28, 2007 at 12:33 AM | #

I only hope this text is meant as a parody! Posted by Surya Van Lierde on Jul 30, 2007 at 02:59 AM | #
