I have been playing and hearing about a bunch of new editions for games getting reprinted with new artwork. This excites me because I love it when a game gets a boost, as it often means new gamers can discover and play it.

▪️ Floodgate Games just released a remastered version of Sagrada along with plans to release expansions as well.
The first expansion to be released is Sagrada: Panorama, which will include playing with up to 6 players as well as other new content:
Panorama Shared Objectives: A new cooperative-style scoring mechanism where artisans must work with their immediate neighbors to score points.
Focal Point Private Objectives: Private goals that reward players for placing specific dice in designated spaces within their window.
New Tools: Includes 6 additional tool cards to manipulate dice and navigate placement restrictions.
I got permission to share this early.

▪️ CrowD Games had a very successful Kickstarter back in May 2025 for the highly anticipated Nippon: Zaibatsu. Nippon designed by Nuno Bizarro Sentieiro and Paulo Soledade, has been on my shelf since it was released, but it is also an example of a game that was very hard to get. Gamers are looking for this type of game revival. A hot, hard-to-find game with gorgeous presentation and streamlined mechanics.
In the game, players invest in new industries, build factories and railroads, and produce goods to saturate local markets and fulfill contracts — all to grow their influence and power and to become rulers of the new modernized country.
Nippon: Zaibatsu is an enhanced and reimagined anniversary edition of Nippon (2015), which was well-acclaimed and popular around the world.

▪️ Allplay has been releasing a bunch of smaller boxed games each year, and there are always a handful of games being revived with a fresh new look. I am always in awe of all the games they are able to create each year. Here are just a few.
Piñatas by Reiner Knizia has been reimaged a few times before. Originally, it was known as Voodoo Prince , then later as Marshmallow Test. Piñatas has that burst of color that fits right in line with the other Allplay titles. This is part of the Allplay “Tricky Card Game” series, as it is a trick-taking game.

Another Knizia card game of interest might be High Society which has been through many iterations. The game was originally released in 1995 and has been a staple in many collections throughout the years. I am all in favor of bringing back classic auction and bidding games, as they are mechanics I highly enjoy and would always love to see more of. About High Society:

Container is a game that is always looking for more editions because it is so well-loved. This is an all-new edition releasing in Q4. Container first released in 2007 and then later in 2018 as Container: 10th Anniversary Jumbo Edition!. This is a highly sought-after game, so it is great for Allplay to make the game more accessible now.
It’s the definitive Container experience. With modern production, beautiful components, and delightful artwork that a game of this caliber deserves, it’s poised to become your favorite game (before you’ve ever even played it).
