Was born! On February 27th 2012 at 11:17 AM Eastern Standard Time Common Man Games gave birth to a new boardgame called Police Precinct. This moment in time was the ending point for our Kickstarter Campaign which has started a month prior. Our Minimum Goal was $8,500.00, and in the end (after a very exciting final few days) we not only reached this goal, but we reached our Stretch Goal of $10,500.00. Our final figure was $11,752.00. We wish to offer a big thanks to all of the backers who made this possible. Thank YOU!!! At almost the same moment that we were giving birth to the game, Ole Steiness, the game designer really did have a baby ("it's a boy"). We plan to name one of the streets after this new gamer!

If you are interested in pre-ordering the game, we are interested in helping you.
Simply send us an email at the following address... sales@commonman.com
Please put the words "I want to pre-order Police Precinct" in the subject line.
As we get closer to releasing this game to our Kickstarter Backers, we will be in touch with you about options for how to get the game. There is even a possibility that we will offer pre-sales folks some sort of extra incentive or bonus of some kind, and or possibly an early release (after Kickstarter Backers, but before the general public). All of this has not yet been figured out, but the bottom line is we will try to help you in various ways, and will keep you informed as things progess. At the very minimum, we will at least help you find a good source for the game (find a store near you or an online provider, etc).
K2
K2 is the second-highest mountain on Earth as well as the second deadliest. It’s known as the Savage Mountain, as it kills one person for every four who have reached the summit… And K2 has never been climbed in winter. Now your team stands in its shadow, ready to climb for fame and glory! You know the dangers of K2 all too well. Extreme weather with frequent and deadly storms, exposed, steep, tricky routes and lack of oxygen await you on your way to the summit. You will test your climbing skills to death, try to outsmart the ever-changing weather and always worry about the acclimatization of your 2 mountaineers. Also there are the other teams ready to take the glory for themselves.
K2 is a board game in which each player controls a team of 2 mountaineers, trying to climb to the summit of K2 and return before the other players’ teams and before the mountain kills them. Every player uses an identical deck of cards. You use the cards to move your climbers on the route pictured on the gaming board, or to acclimatize the members of your team.
You can also set up a tent and wait for better weather. You will have to choose your path carefully, as the other mountaineers can block your way, and watch the upcoming weather which can lower your acclimatization to 0, thus killing your climbers.
K2 is a hand management game for 1-5 players, with strong interaction and low luck factor, lasting up to 60 minutes. The theme is very well represented by the mechanics, including such elements as changing weather, lack of oxygen and death of the mountaineers. The result is an exciting match for gamers and non-gamers alike.
The box includes, among other materials, a double-sided board with two different routes to the summit (easier and harder) and two sets of weather tiles [for summer and winter].
Broad Peak
Broad Peak is the expansion to the game K2.
Broad Peak gives you two very different challenges to undertake, which are based on historical achievement made by Polish mountaineers on Broad Peak in 1984. Both have their own boards and few rules changes to make them individual game experiences.First one is “Race to the top” and is very quick and exciting game. This climbing is three days shorter, there are no tents and much less acclimatization cards in the deck. Also, there is less place to climbing, so it is much more tense and quicker version of K2 base game.Second is “Traverse of Broad Peaks” and is more strategic and little longer then the base game. The board shows three tops of Broad Peak and mountaineers can get additional victory points for traverse all the mountain and for gaining every of the three peaks. It is very difficult to do all that things, especially that they have only one tent with them.
The expansion will include one two-sided board, tokens and rules so K2 game is needed to play Broad Peak.
