Portal Games celebrates the Year of Moloch
Originally released in 2006, Neuroshima Hex is a strategy board game set in the post-apocalyptic world of Neuroshima. Each player chooses an Army deck consisting of 34 tiles including Warriors, Modules, and Actions. You begin the game with your Headquarters at 20 hit points and wage war against your opponent in a back and forth strategic battle as you place and manipulate your tiles. You win if you destroy your opponent’s HQ or one player runs out of tiles and your HQ has less damage than your opponent’s. The addition of the Troglodyte army pack, releasing later this month, gives players 14 distinct factions to play, each with their own unique play style and strategies.
Portal Games has also opened pre-orders for a new edition of Neuroshima Hex: The Year of Moloch. This is a big-box edition of the best-selling game with room to store up to 19 armies, player aides, new HQ markers for each army, new graphics, and a campaign game mode detailing the origins of Moloch.
This new edition will satisfy hard-core fans and new players alike with many great features and improvements over the base Neuroshima Hex 3.0 including:
1. A larger box (31x31x10 cm) with molded plastic insert to hold up to 19 armies.
2. Updated artwork on the included 4 armies: Borgo, Hegemony, Moloch, and Outpost
3. A double-layered board with all new graphics.
4. Durable bakelite HQ markers for all available armies.
5. Reference charts for all available armies.
6. A hardback artbook featuring art from all Neruoshima Products
7. An all-new campaign mode detailing the origins of Moloch.
8. A fully updated and detailed FAQ reference booklet.
9. A large resin bust of Borgo.
“Moloch has been a part of my life since I first wrote about it in 2003,” said President and CEO of Portal Games Ignacy Trzewiczek. “We have been delighted and overwhelmed with the response to all of our Neuroshima products, and I am overjoyed to celebrate this year with the fans by releasing new products for long-time and new fans of the line.” Portal Games has also announced the release of the Neuroshima Convoy app for iOS and Android. This digital re-creation of the two-player card game allows players to play solo against an AI opponent, or online with friends in multiplayer matches. Designed by Ignacy Trzewiczek, Neuroshima Convoy is an asymmetric card game with one player controlling Moloch, and the other controlling the Outpost. The Moloch player is trying to destroy cities on their way to New York while the Outpost player is trying to halt the convoy in its tracks. The iOS and Android implementation features an intuitive interface, outstanding visuals, and a beautiful soundtrack that are sure to draw the players into the Neuroshima world. The company has also shared details of the upcoming Moloch expansion for the 51st State card game. This all-new expansion introduces a semi-cooperative element in the form of Moloch. While the factions are fighting against each other, Moloch’s influence grows. Each round, players will need to protect themselves from each other, as well as the Moloch or face certain destruction. More details about the Moloch expansion will come as we approach the release in Q1 2021.
