[imageid=9001635 medium rep]▪️ Pandasaurus Games announced a remake of Hacienda to be released by the end of this month. This is the 3rd edition of the classic game Hacienda from designer Wolfgang Kramer, but this 3rd edition introduces a bunch of updates with help from designer Daryl Andrews. I know a few changes are the addition of new map tiles for a varied game experience, and the market locations now allow players to draw cards more easily, making it a faster game. This new release plays 2-5 players and plays in 45-60 minutes.
From the Newsletter:
▪️ Nerdlab Games announced Final Titan coming later this year. A fantastic mash-up between designers Richard Garfield & Christian Kudahl, Final Titan is an exciting brawler game. The game plays 1-5 players and plays in 30-45 minutes.
From BGG:
In this competitive game, players recruit legendary champions from across time, myth, and fantasy, each with unique abilities, stats, and powers. Once recruited, your champions are thrown into the arena, where they’ll face off in intense dice duels.
Choose your matchups wisely, support your heroes with power-up cards, and outwit your opponents.
The last champion standing is crowned the final titan, and the player controlling them is victorious!
▪️ The Beat: Rockstars of the Galaxy is yet another game coming from Nerdlab Games. This is a small box cooperative card game from designers Morten Blaabjerg & Christian Kudahl. For 2-4 players.
From the BGG page:
By playing card you work together to build the perfect setlist. Every song can end ON POINT, LOUD, or as a FAIL. Communication is limited, so success depends on reading your bandmates, managing your hand and trusting each other’s instincts.
Every of its 26 venues introduces a new rule that changes how the game is played. No two venues play alike and mastering each one is the key to completing the interstellar tour. Event Cards add even more variety, ensuring that no two performances ever unfold the same way.
▪️ Red or Yellow from The Op Games is a new party game from designer Sasha Jelten. For 3-8 players and plays in 15 minutes. This game is already available at Target.
From BGG:
Each round, flip a card and secretly choose the red answer or the yellow answer to the prompt. Then guess how the rest of the table will answer. Score points for matching minds, standing out, or boldly calling a unanimous pick! Get ready for epic debates, absurd logic, and mind-blowing groupthink moments!
