[imageid=9444567 medium rep]▪️ Repos Production just released their new title Spooky Tower. With the attractive price point of $25 and the quick-playtime of 15 minutes, it seems like a risk worth taking. Here is the game description from the publisher:
Ghosts have taken over the city! The only way to trap them is to capture them on camera… or to restore the protective amulet of the clock tower! With Spooky Tower, Repos Production takes a playful dive into pop culture. This new clever family game combines dice rolling, risk-taking, and tactical decision-making in a fast-paced and highly replayable format.
Designed by Jonathan Favre-Godal (Who Did It?) and Corentin Lebrat (Draftosaurus, Faraway…), and illustrated byApolline Etienne (Living Forest), Spooky Tower thrives on surprise and suspense. Which location will you explore on your turn? With no unnecessary complexity, Spooky Tower focuses on quick turns, immediate readability, appealing and functional components, and strong indirect interaction through racing mechanics. It’s “spooky fun” universe, brought to life by Apolline Etienne, creates an immersive atmosphere — without ever being scary!
▪️ For the Flip-and-Write fans out there, Spyworld was just released! From Don’t Panic Games, this game plays simultaneously, so really any number of players can play in about 30 minutes. Don’t you want to rule the world and build the best spy lair around? From the publisher:
▪️ New from The Op Games a small box card game called Frenzy Falls. If you enjoy a bit of frenzy and chaos in your quick card game, then look no further. You and your opponents will attempt to seize control over the different lines in the falls. If you don’t win the majority of the row, no worries, you will get to spill down to the next row to try and capture that row instead. You have to look out for those special action cards that will pull and bump you from positions you probably don’t want to move from. A great family game for 2-6 players, playing in 30-45 minutes.
▪️ Did someone say Similo? OH, HELLO! Similo: Wonders was just announced from Horrible Guild. My collection of Similo is ever-growing because they keep making new editions. If you aren’t familiar with Similo, it is a quick cooperative deduction game. There is one correct card in the display, and the clue-giver needs to provide clues so you don’t knock out that correct card. You can mix and match sets, so having just one more set is always a good thing. We can look for this new deck in July.
