Descriptions of Upcoming Highlighted Games:

Snow Tails (July 21st): Snow Tails is set in the snowy world of the Arctic Circle, where brave sledders compete in a test of skill and endurance. Action is fast and furious and not all sleds may make it to the finish. Huskies only have one setting and that is full speed! Hang on to your furs, the reins, your sled and anything else you can get hold of. The game contains modular track pieces which can be fitted together to form different courses. Players have their own Dog Decks which they draw from and play onto their sled mat. Movement is rarely in a straight line as the sled may drift left or right. Losing control or speeding into a corner results in Dent cards being acquired which will limit a player's hand size. Can your team be the best?

7 Wonders: Architects (July 28th): We all aspire to leave our mark. As one of the great ancient architects, your goal is to create a wonder to amazing that it, as well as you, will go down in history as a testament to human ingenuity and skill! 7 Wonders Architects in a new game in the world of 7 Wonders. Designed for a fluid and immersive game experience, Architects is a gateway game that still retains the strategic depth the 7 Wonders brand is so well known for.

Pergola (August 4th): In Pergola, you get to be a cheerful gardener, ready to bring your dream garden to life! Your mission is to plant a wonderful mix of flowers that will invite all sorts of charming insects to visit. Every decision you make will shape the beauty of your little garden oasis. So, roll up your sleeves and let your creativity bloom as you create a delightful haven in nature!

Detective Club (August 11th): Intrigue, sudden revelations, limitless creativity, and tons of fun await you in this game! Lead the investigation as a detective, or cover your tracks as the infiltrated conspirator. Discuss, accuse, object and try to convince everyone. In Detective Club, on each round, one of the players secretly teams up with another — the Conspirator — and tries to make them guess a secret word using just two illustrated cards! Other players are detectives, who also know the word, but don't know the identities of each other. Detectives have to find out who the conspirator is, making sure they don't get accused by their fellow players!

Australis (August 18th): Off the east coast of Australia is an underwater superhighway, a warm stretch of ocean called the East Australian Current. Here, your sea turtles swim amidst beautiful flora and fauna. Each round you choose dice which offer various advantages in this diverse ecosystem: select food cubes to feed ever-growing schools of fish, settle corals onto reefs, swim further down the current with your sea turtles or choose to be the first player to pick dice in the next round. Your various actions earn you points and whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins. At the end of each round, an exciting dice showdown awaits. Higher quality dice have a better chance of winning, but sometimes even they won’t save you! Who will best hold their own in the turbulent waters of the EAC?

Quacks (August 25th): In Quacks, which was first released as The Quacks of Quedlinburg, players are charlatans — or quack doctors — each making their own secret brew by adding ingredients one at a time. Take care with what you add, though, for a pinch too much of this or that will spoil the whole mixture! Each player has their own bag of ingredient chips. During each round, they simultaneously draw chips from their bags and add them to their pots. The higher the face value of the drawn chip, the further it is placed in the pot's swirling pattern, increasing how much the potion will be worth. Push your luck as far as you can, but if you add too many cherry bombs, your pot will explode! At the end of each round, players gain victory points and coins to spend on new ingredients, depending on how well they managed to fill up their pots. But players whose pots have exploded must choose points or coins — not both! The player with the most victory points at the end of nine rounds wins the game.
