CAT IN THE BOX

A Japanese trick-taker using concepts from quantum mechanics! Yeah, I wasn't sure what that meant either. I'll let the description take it from here:

"Hypothesize how many tricks you will win, and record your bid. Place tokens on the community research board as you play your hand, and connect large groups of tokens to score even more points. Plan your tricks carefully as you cannot claim the color of a card with the same number that has already been declared. Doing so would be pawsitively catastrophic as you have just created a paradox!"

Expected at the start of March, there's not much time before this cat is let out of the box! If you're a fan of trick taking games and want to try something mew... sorry, new: This may be the game for you!

5 MINUTE DUNGEON

Chaos abound in this quick playing, randomly generated dungeon crawler! Communicate with your friends to make it out, but with so little time to actually coordinate, will you actually survive?

This symbol matching card game features 10 heroes with their own abilities, racing against the clock to defeat the dungeon's monsters and the final boss!

A potential pick for those into procedural dungeon crawlers, looking for a timer to fight against in addition to monsters!

PLANET UNKNOWN

The planet is ruined, and it's time to try again. This competetive game for 1-6 players sees you placing polyomino resource tiles to build out the best, new planet!

Developing infrastructure may not be easy. You'll have to place tiles efficiently to cover the planet. Watch out though, as some moves trigger meteor showers that make it harder to score victory points!

Time to start anew! Pre-order here!

EXPEDITIONS

The hotly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Scythe is now available for pre-order! Promising to be a "competitive, card-driven, tile-exploration, engine-building sequel", it's hard to not be excited if you're a fan of the first game.

Stonemeier dropped this announcement suddenly a couple of weeks ago, alongside photos of the big, new mechs. Slated for release later this year, now's the time to grab your copy!
