Gotta admit some bias in going over this months solicitations from Alliance. I never list anything under the pretense of the "Imaginary Store List", but about halfway through, I was so unimpressed with a lot of the board games in the book that I simply didn't list them. Companies I've never heard of, odd game concepts, poor box art and ridiculous prices didn't help.
Game Trade Magazine #309 can be found at your Friendly Local Game Store (FLGS) or digitally in PDF form here.

Accessory Power
Must be the first ever solicitation for Accessory, as there are pages of gaming backpacks, dice , dice accessories, etc. First strike? The consumer guide has prices list as PI (Please Inquire). For the game shop owner, this means they aren't getting their traditional discount on the item, so pricing may vary. Second strike, the pricing isn't too bad but it's still a big spend to start stock a decent number of items. One of my FLGS stocked a series of leather satchels and bags for RPGs that were just a above their retail prices. Sold through in a year, broke even around seven months.

Lost! in the Woods ...................................................... $19.99

Leviathans: The Great War - Rulebook ................ $39.99
Leviathans is a steampunk-esque game were Age of Dreadnought style early 20th Century vessels now fly around the sky. Nice to see a Kickstarter that pulled in over $600K has fulfilled and reaced distribution channels, although I like to see some support before investing in another miniatures line.

Dyce Games
First to Worst: Holiday Edition - Base .......................... $19.99
First to Worst: Holiday Edition - Tuckbox Expansion .. $ 9.99
Horrible listing. I think the tuckbox is the expansion (that word isn't included in the solicitation). The tuckbox says it's 100 new cards, but that looks to be the same base set (base set is not included either). With pricing, there should be a significant difference, but I can imagine a few FLGS order just the tuckbox because it's cheaper and getting some disappointed customers.
