Embers of War, the latest set from Legend of the Five Rings

Embers of War is the brand new expansion for the fan-favorite Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game from AEG. It follows the release of Emperor Edition, the new base set, in February 2012. Now that peace has settled and the riches of the new land conquered by the Empress’ forces are discovered, new alliances and rivalries are formed, both on the mainland and the Colonies. Who will benefit the most?

Galactic Overlord, the newest Yu-Gi-Oh! set

Thousands of years ago, the ancient city of Heliopolis was guarded by nine ancient Dragons – the Hieratic Dragons!

Together, these Hieratic Dragons – Nuit, Gebeb, Eset, Nebthet, Tefnuit, Su, Asar, Sutekh, and Atum – defended civilization against threats you cannot even imagine.

Wielding the power of their mysterious Hieratic Seals, none could challenge the power of the Hieratic Dragons. Especially when they called down the ultimate power of the sun itself, by Summoning the Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis!

Now, after several millennia, the Hieratic Dragons of Heliopolis have finally been reborn. But this time, they have come to defend YOU – against your opponents!
