The wildly popular Pulp Adventure board game Fortune and Glory is back with a brand new Revised Edition! A best-selling game since its first release in 2011, fans and new players alike have been clamoring for its return, and this new Revised Edition hits the mark! With a more compact box size, streamlined Rulebook, and over a decade's worth of polish and errata worked in, this is the ultimate version of this classic Cliffhanger adventure game.
The card texts were redone, increasing the font size and changing a few words here and there (e.g. "Adds +2 Adventure Dice" became "Roll +2 Adventure Dice", "rolls of 6" became "rolls of 6+", Villains' and Enemies' "Wounds" became "Health", etc.). The few significant card changes are:
- City: Just Another Day in the City: Three of the five cards no longer bear the reshuffle icon.
- Danger: Ancient Puzzle and Danger: The Riddle of Nardu have had their Cliffhangers swapped.
- Gear: Driving Gloves: "Once per Sneak Test may force a single die to be re-rolled" became "Once per Sneak Test you may Re-roll a single die".
- Villain Event: Sandstorm, Volcanic Eruption: "Any Temple [...] immediately gains an Instability marker and must roll for Collapse" became "Any Temple [...] must immediately roll for Collapse" (Because of the way the Temple Collapse rules have changed).
It is the late 1930s, and the world is in turmoil. Humanity is on the brink of war as imperialist nations in the Far East and Europe work aggressively to expand their domination. The Nazis have taken control of Germany and now spread darkness across the globe in their hunt for powerful occult artifacts that can give them the upper hand in the days to come. But the spirit of adventure and freedom won't be stamped out so easily. Heroic adventurers from around the world answer the call, racing against time to hunt down ancient artifacts, explore deadly temples, and fight back the powers of darkness from engulfing the world in flames. It is a race of good versus evil, and only a cunning and agile explorer can claim the ultimate prize of... Fortune and Glory!
Fortune and Glory: The Cliffhanger Game is a fast-paced game of high adventure, vile villains, edge-of-your-seat danger, and cliffhanger pulp movie action. Players take on the role of a treasure hunter, traveling the globe in search of ancient artifacts and fending off danger and villains at every turn in a quest for the ultimate reward of fortune and glory! So strap on your adventure boots and goggles, fire up the engines on the seaplane, and grab some extra ammo for your revolver...the Nazis already have a head start and in this race for fortune and glory, and there's no prize for second place!
