The following games are in development by the Quixotic team.
The Elemental Wars
Publisher: Z-Man Games / Release: Fall 2010
The Emperor of the World has died, and now the Four Elemental Kingdoms must go to war to decide their new ruler! Elemental Wars is a multiplayer wargame that allows players to take on the roles of the Four Kingdoms: Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. Although the people of the Four Kingdoms were once human, their reliance on the elemental powers has transformed them into living manifestations of their elements. The Air Kingdom warriors are gifted with flight, those of the Water Kingdom are able to swim and breathe underwater, the Earth Kingdom soldiers can regenerate with unearthly speed, and the knights of the Fire Kingdom can ignite themselves and die in a blaze of glory. The mighty heroes of the four Kingdoms can command the very elements themselves, moving mountains, flooding valleys, burning cities, and blowing back their enemies. When the smoke and dust have cleared, only one Kingdom will emerge triumphant!
Canterbury
Publisher: In Negotiation / Release: TBA
Awards: Board Game Design Competition 2007 (Games Club of Maryland)
Toward the end of the 6th century A.D., King Ethelbert of Kent established the old Roman city of Canterbury as his new capital. In Canterbury, 2 to 4 players represent Saxon Lords who are charged with building the city into a prosperous capital. The Saxon Lords must use the city's meager starting resources to build up the 25 districts of Canterbury and provide key services to its citizens. The key services are (in order from most basic to most prestigious) water, food, religion, defense, commerce, and culture. As new structures are built in the city, the city grows more prosperous. While each Saxon Lord jealously guards his or her own prosperity and achievements, they all benefit as a whole from the growing prosperity of the city itself. When the city reaches the peak of its prosperity, the game ends and the player with the most individual prosperity wins the game.
