New to L.A. Mood! 

Your # 1 Boardgame destination has your game night covered! 

New Games! 

Bruxelles 1893

In Bruxelles constructing buildings allows you to create your most beautiful masterpiece, shown on your
 personal board. It is also possible to develop your reputation as an architect, increase your 
influence at the Royal Palace or City Hall, and even benefit from Public Figures that you meet during your theater outings. The architect who garners the most fame in the form of victory points wins the game! Cool!

Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends 

Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends is a game played by masters of magic. Two to four summoners encounter each other in the Tash-Kalar arena, either in teams or each on his own, and prove their skill and strategy in a short but intense battle. By clever deployment of their minions, they create magic patterns for summoning powerful beings, and then use those to destroy their opponent’s forces or to prepare patterns for the ultimate legendary beings.

Dead Panic

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! In Dead Panic, each player takes on the role of one of eight unique characters, which have special abilities. Players work together to survive in a remote cabin, at the center of the board, against waves of the undead that close in from the edges of the board. If the players can hold out, survivors bring pieces of the radio needed to call for rescue. Once rescue arrives, it's up to each player to leave the safety of the cabin and make it out alive! 

River Dragons

In River Dragons, you want to move your pawn over a system of bridge-like planks to the other side of the board. An easy task! Or at least it would be if everyone were working together, but alas you're not. Instead you're all working on your own right next to one another, each convinced that your way is best.

New Stuff at L.A Mood!

New Game
Warhammer Disc Wars!

In a game like no other an age of warfare has dawned. Orcs, elves, and men muster in ever increasing numbers. The winds of magic are rising, and Daemons stalk the lands! That's not a typo! (Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, being of the same nature of both Gods and Mortals, similar to ghosts-Now you know..or at least I know)

New Toys
Pacific Rim Jaeger

This deluxe Jaeger makes the perfect Stocking Stuffer! Unfortunately there won't be room for anything else in the stocking because it's only slightly smaller than the "real" Jipsy Danger. That said we doubt the Pacific Rim fan in your life will do any complaining to Santa's Customer Service Department. 


Batman Classic Tv Show Deluxe Figure

POW! Holy amazing detail Batman! This deluxe 18 inch Caped Crusader is straight out of the dreams of any kid that grew up on the campy cult classic tv show. Multiple points of articulation and a spot on resemblance to Adam West are only a few of the highlights of this must have collectible. It's also has a cloth cape!! A CLOTH CAPE!!

Batman Classic TV Show Action Figures

BONK! Same BatMAN same BAT Section of L.A Mood! If the 18 inch deluxe figure won't fit in your loved ones stocking (because you already crammed a Jaeger in it) then maybe you could fit one of these 8 inch figures. Probably not. Oh well you could always wrap them. The important thing is you make the classic Batman tv series fan in your life very happy-and these figures are a great place to start!

New Statue
Superman/Wonder Woman embrace

Is it just me or is it getting steamy in here? Are those clouds or smoke emanating from their hot fiery passion? Clouds? Okay just checking.
