J.U.M.P. Into the Unknown from the
Evil Polish Brothers, LLC is coming to
the Internet
J.U.M.P. Into the Unknown and
conquer the galaxy! J.U.M.P. is a game
for 1 to 4 players. Each player tries
to dominate the galaxy through
economic, technological, and military
means. J.U.M.P has easy to learn
mechanics and addictive game play that
offers moveable map tiles, flexible
map board configuration, random
generation tables and variant victory
conditions. “We are very excited to
add J.U.M.P. to our line up. A space
tactical game adds additional
diversity to our current game
offerings and the solo play component
is a great benefit to our site.”

- Word from the Evil
Polish Brothers
is that the JUMP:
Genesis
expansions shipped on 6/29 so they
should be hitting stores now or pick
one up at Origins.
5/18/2001
- It looks like these expansions will
ship middle/end of June and they will
be at Origins for demo and sale:
A bit more about these new races from EPB:
(1)
Races - each race will have their own
attributes (advantages and
disadvantages).
(2)
Leaders - these guys add different
bonuses to combat, diplomacy, etc.
You don't want to lose these guys.
(3)
New Units - some races will have
different units (compatible purchase
charts for JUMP: Into the Unknown are
included) and some races will have
units that do more things than in the
JUMP game. Cool.
(4)
Boards - none. You don't need a
board for the Genesis games. You
can play anywhere. We include
unique "rulers" for ease of
game play.
(5)
Miniature rules - Genesis can be
played with some base miniature that
we will provide. The
"rulers" will aid in game
play and the hexagon design makes for
ease of covered arc. Oh, some
units have strength levels as well.
(6)
Price - $10.00 per Genesis game.
Also
it seems that the deal with GeoHex
mentioned earlier did not work out.
