▪️ Paverson Games announced the release of the new expansion Distilled: Cocktails to arrive this September.

The expansion introduces Double Washbacks, Collectors, a World Renown Map, and, of course, Cocktails! These additions increase the variability between games and give players even more ways to develop their strategy and score points.

▪️ STYX from Don’t Panic Games and by designer Pierre Lahmi. A gorgeous new auction game for 2-6 players that plays in 45 minutes.

From BGG:

In STYX, two Emissaries arrive before the council each round. Secretly decide their fate: Tithe them for wealth, Muster them into your army, or Eliminate them to harvest their Soul while denying them to your rivals. Then reveal everyone’s choices at once. What seemed like a simple decision erupts into bidding wars—fought with gold to recruit followers and with military Strength to decide who survives.

Every Emissary offers different rewards: Influence, income, Elements, Souls, or powerful abilities. Building the strongest army isn’t always enough; knowing when to sacrifice a valuable card—or prevent an opponent from claiming it—can be even more important.

Multiple paths lead to victory, but time is never on your side. Every Emissary left behind fuels Chaos, bringing the game closer to a final confrontation where the strongest surviving army may seize the Throne instead.

Featuring simultaneous hidden decisions, tense bidding, engine building, and constant player interaction, STYX is a game of calculated betrayal where every choice strengthens you… or weakens everyone else.

▪️ Flip 7: Liquid Death from The Op Games is out now. From designer [person=Eric Olsen]Eric Olsen[/person], this is a new edition of the very popular Flip 7. It is The Op, so we get to have all of these amazing IP editions of small card games like this. Choose your favorite flavor and enjoy, or if you are like me, collect the series as they might all just be a little different! Liquid Death has some deadly twists!

From BGG:

Quench your thirst for an addictive new party game with Flip 7: Liquid Death. With two new actions – Kill a Card and Murder the Modifiers, game night is turning grim in the best way possible.

In this press your luck game, be the first player to score 200 points to win. You score points based on the total number value of the cards in front of you. The more valuable a card is, the more copies of that card there are in the deck. However, if you ever draw a second card with the same number as one already in your line, you bust and are out of the round, scoring nothing. You can command death if you can successfully Flip 7 different number cards into your line, automatically ending the round for everyone and scoring 15 bonus points..
