IOGIOCO 18 - MAGAZINE

Issue 18 of ioGioco marks the third year of the Italian magazine dedicated to the world of board games and arrives right at the start of the hottest time of the year for the gaming industry. The usual wave of new releases that characterizes the autumn is about to arrive, as always coinciding with the quintessential pop event, which this year goes by the name of Lucca Changes! This particular edition of the festival sees us especially involved, with an initiative that will allow us to bring the playful atmosphere of this new “distributed festival” to your screens.

ORK THE CASBAH - THE CHALLENGE FOR THE ORC CONCERT SPOT
The original game to be detached and cut out in this issue bears the signature of internationally renowned author Andrea Chiarvesio and is illustrated by Alan D’Amico. Orc clans will throw themselves under the stage where the Ork Pistols are performing to secure the best seats from which to watch the concert!

THE CATACOMB OF THE BLOOD SKELETON - OFFICIAL ADVENTURE FOR OSE
Thanks to the collaboration with Need Games, you will find an 8-page adventure waiting for you in this issue for Old-School Essentials: the most famous title in circulation, newly arrived in Italian, from the OSR movement. This adventure is perfectly suited for both experts and newcomers to the genre.

EXPANSIONS TO CUT OUT: LAST AURORA, IT’S A WONDERFUL WORLD, AND FORGOTTEN WATERS
As always, our reviews are enriched by special content created in collaboration with the authors and publishers of the games covered. In issue 18 of ioGioco, you will find new stage tokens and the related rules for Last Aurora, a new set of empire cards for It’s a Wonderful World, and an exclusive, never-before-seen pirate for Forgotten Waters!

GAME MERCHANTS - THE NEW COLUMN DEDICATED TO RETAILERS
With this issue, we are inaugurating a new space where we will discover many game shops scattered throughout the country and have their managers tell us how they face the challenges of the market, especially in this very demanding period.

DOSSIER - INNOVATION IN BOARD GAMES
By analyzing the releases presented over the last few months, one cannot help but notice a decline in the originality of the offerings and a strong tendency towards re-proposing “classics” that return in new guises. Has the creative vein of designers perhaps run dry? We find out in our dossier in the new issue of ioGioco.

In addition to all this, our usual columns await you, along with many reviews of the most recent products or those about to hit the shelves. ioGioco 18 awaits you at newsstands and the best game shops starting October 9th.
