▪️ Panorama from Scorpion Masqué is already available now! This is a delightful tile-drafting game where you will create your landscape panorama. It uses a time track mechanic so the further you move ahead, the longer you have to wait before your next turn. For 2-4 players, this is a breezy 20-minute game.

From the newsletter:

Put your panorama together one tile at a time, making sure to line tiles up to create large areas of the same land type. At the end of the game, you’ll score points based on the number of animals and flowers in each type of terrain.

Games stay fresh and replayable through the common objectives that can be switched out for every game, such as the longest river or the sky with the fewest clouds.

This adorable game is sure to delight the entire family!

[imageid=9667654 medium rep]▪️ A recent hit at my table have been Sky 5 from Druid City Games. I am drawn to the bright, bold colors, and there is even a rainbow die included in the box. How cool! This is a push-your-luck card game for 2-6 players and plays in 15-30 minutes. This game will have a limited release at Gen Con 2026 and will be officially released later this year!

From BGG:

In Sky 5, players push their luck as they build a tableau of colorful sky cards, trying to assemble one of each of the five colors to complete a Sky 5. Each turn presents a simple but tense decision: draw a card to grow your tableau, or roll the die to try to bank the cards you already have.

Drawing cards helps you work toward the perfect five-color collection, but it comes with risk. If you reveal a color you already have, the card may end up helping your opponents instead. Rolling the die offers a chance to secure your points, but only if the result does not match any value in your tableau. If it does, you bust and lose the cards you were hoping to score.

Quick to learn and full of nail-biting decisions, Sky 5 is a lively push-your-luck game where timing is everything. Build the right collection, roll at the right moment, and bank your points before the sky turns against you.

▪️ Horrible Guild just announced The Amazing Journey for release this October with first looks at Gen Con 2026. This has a travel theme where you will move around the board and make connections and memories. This game plays 2-4 players in about 45-60 minutes.

From the newsletter:

In The Amazing Journey, you’ll travel across the world optimizing routes based on which types of transportation are available on a given date in your location.
