Coming this week from 'NUELOW Games': DEATH TO IMMODEST WOMEN!' (Our first card game!)

From the people who brought you satirical mini-RPGs like ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters, Steve Miller's 30-Minute Roleplaying Game, and Dyvil: First Edition (Jeff Grubb's 30-Minute Roleplaying Game) comes a brand-new, fast-paced card game for 2 to 6 players -- DEATH TO IMMODEST WOMEN!

With game design by the crack team of Steve Miller and L.L. Hundal, DEATH TO IMMODEST WOMEN! is based on the divinely inspired revelations of the modern-day Iranian prophet Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedigh. In April of 2010, Sedigh declared God, Allah, AND the Easter Bunny all hate the kust inspired by scantily clad women and that the divine beings express their anger by causing earthquakes. In the game, each player is a Holy Man who must the destroy Immodest Women played by other players before they destroy the Earth.

Here are some samples of the artwork from the game:

 

DEATH TO IMMODEST WOMEN will be available at quality hobby game stores this week for just $8.95. Each set contains 54 high-quality playing cards, a rule-booklet (containing rules for both the basic and advanced game), and a collection of the wise sayings of Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedigh. However, you can order your copy at a special 75% discount directly from NUELOW Games through this link.

NUELOW Games relocating to Wadiya

His Excellency Admiral General Aladeen is such a big fan of NUELOW Games products that he has bought us out. He has also generously offered to relocate the entirety of NUELOW Games' staff (L.L. Hundal, Steve Miller, and Steve's two cats) to beautiful Wadiya. His offer is so generous and the Republic of Wadiya so wonderful a place that we simply could not refuse, so as of early May of this year, we'll be producing games from a palace overlooking the Sudanese border..

(In all seriousness, we at NUELOW Games think "The Dictator," Sasha Baron Cohen's forthcoming picture looks like it has the potential to be the funniest film of 2012. And that's saying a lot, given that both Hundal and Miller had given up hope for Cohen after the sleazy, unfunny snooze-fest that was "Bruno."

Here's the first preview for the film:



And here's the second preview that was released yesterday... it gives more insight into the nature of the film. It sort of feels like "Postal" Meets "Coming to America." But without Crotchy Dolls or Eddie Murphy.



"The Dictator" opens in the U.S. on May 11, 2012. The NUELOW Games staff intends to be at one of the first screenings (minus Steve's cats... they hate comedies)!

The first full-blown supplement for ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters was "Icing Oetzi," a little tribute to the frozen mummy found in the Italian Alps nick-named Oetzi the Iceman. It appears we here at NUELOW Games aren't the only ones fascinated by him. as exhibited by "Iceman" by the Amy Burvall and the Historyteachers.




And while we're here, go ahead and check out "Here Come the Huns Again"...




... "Beowulf" (This one is particularly fun, for several subtle reasons)...



... "Vikings"...


... "Charlemagne"...


... "Illuminated Manuscripts"...


... and "Gutenberg."
