New Tile-Laying Game By HG GAME Worx Coming May 2019<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\nSan Diego, CA (January 11, 2019)\u00a0 Get ready for infectious fun as\u00a0IDW Games is releasing\u00a0Amoeba<\/em>, a tile-laying game by HG Game Worx Studio!\u00a0Amoeba<\/em>\u00a0is a unique tile-laying game for two to four players in which players draw and place tiles in order to build the biggest Amoebas. Set to release this summer, Amoeba will certainly spread the fun all over your gaming table!<\/p>\n

\u201cAmoeba<\/em>\u00a0is the type of game that really gets under your skin!\u201d says\u00a0Jerry Bennington<\/strong>, IDW Publishing\u2019s VP of New Product Development, \u201cHeidi and Greg Preslicka created a timeless, evergreen design and the colorful, quirky art by\u00a0Sebastian Koziner\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Greg Preslicka<\/strong>\u00a0make the game ooze right off the table. This is the type of game we see taking over the minds of gamers of all ages for a long time.”<\/p>\n

Amoeba\u00a0<\/em>sees players placing tiles to a shared board connecting edges to form different-sized amoebas.\u00a0The goal of the game is to capture as many amoeba segments as possible by placing Nuclei markers on them. The twist to the game is players may use tiles from their hand to split completed Amoebas and hurt their opponents’ scores. This simple wrinkle adds wonderful tension and endless replayability to a game that can be learned in minutes but stays with you for so much longer.<\/p>\n

Look for\u00a0Amoeba\u00a0<\/em>to hit stores in May 2019. In the meantime, IDW Games will unveil more details about the game on\u00a0www.idwgames.com<\/a>. And\u00a0for up-to-the-minute info, be sure to \u201clike\u201d\u00a0facebook.com\/idwgames<\/a>\u00a0and follow\u00a0@idwgames<\/a>\u00a0on twitter.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
