WizKids Games today announced that the company has entered into an partnership agreement with Asmodee Germany to localize several award winning game titles.
Asmodee becomes WizKids German language partner in Europe for games including the Mage Knight Board Game, Attack Wing: Dungeons & Dragons, Quarriors! Dice Building Game and Star Trek: Attack Wing. This is just the beginning as WizKids said they’d be expanding their plans in the future.
WizKids Games is pleased to announce Quarmageddon, the digital expansion to its incredibly popular dice “deck-building” game Quarriors! for iPad, is now available for just $1.99 as an in-app purchase. Quarmageddon adds 40 additional dice to the base game, along with additional spells and new creatures to expand upon the humor and gameplay of the original. Quarriors! is required to play Quarmageddon, so you should probably grab that first.
To celebrate the release of Quarmageddon, WizKids Games has made Quarriors! free for a week! That means for just $1.99, you get both Quarriors! (normally $3.99 USD) and Quarmageddon ($1.99 USD). Hurry though, as Quarriors! will return to full price on March 20th!
As part of the Quarmageddon release, several gameplay updates have been made to Quarriors!, including new optional rule additions, an expanded tutorial play-through and more.
