What it's about

In the distance there is a faint rumble. Gradually, that rumble becomes growing thunder as thousands of mounted knights crash over the ridge. The very earth shakes as the sun glints off clamoring shields and armor. The points of long, wickedly-sharpened lances are aimed directly towards their foe, and the wild eyes and glistening flanks of mighty war horses charge forward. Who could resist such an onslaught? In War Chest: Shock Tactics , you will have the opportunity to use new units that affect the very morale of your opponent’s troops. Whether it be the steady, daunting beat of War Drummers, the terrifying Greek fire raining down from Pitch Throwers, the will-sapping Raiders, or the reimagined units from the original game now returning as Heavy Cavalry, Vanguard, or Warlord. You will be changing the way your opponent thinks. It is time to employ Shock Tactics!

AEG was formed almost thirty years ago to publish Shadis magazine. In the mid-1990s AEG co-created Legend of the Five Rings . AEG has focused on board, card and dice games. We’ve created huge hits like Smash Up and Ready Set Bet , and recent innovative games like Mystic Lands, Dead Reckoning and many others! We are successful at crowdfunding, including huge campaigns for Thunderstone Quest, Edge of Darkness, and the Let’s Go line of products. We are especially proud of our relationship with Flatout Games, who created Point Salad , Propolis , Calico , Cascadia and several other titles which AEG publishes or co-publishes. AEG’s International Business Division works with partners around the world to create localized versions of our games, and with other publishers to deliver localized versions of their games too (including but not limited to Ada’s Dream from Alley Cat Games and Pirates of the High Teas from Pink Hawk Games). AEG is based in the United States and has a virtual workforce distributed all over the world. AEG staff work from Greece, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several US States.
