This month’s Kickstarters include nature games, a murder mystery, carrying tribes through the winter together while vying for prestige, a Halloween card game of chasing off trick-or-treaters, an abstract strategy game, and a light RPG.
Blue Orange has announced a new game that uses Kingdomino mechanics, Floodgate Games has a new game available for pre-order, and WizKids has announced Jokkmokk: The Winter Market.
Will you fill your aquarium with fish? Or focus on decorations, plants, and crustaceans? Place each new acquisition carefully, since its location in your aquarium will determine its value at the end of the game.
Speed is key, as you race to complete orders and use your ingredient cards to replicate burgers exactly. Are you sure you got that bacon in the right place? Because if you announce you’re done too early, you could be out of the round.
Gamewright has released a new game in the Sushi Go series, a mash-up of two classics has been released, and a game based on the popular show Bridgerton is in the works.
Exploding Kittens has released Anarchy Pancakes, Big Potato Games has released a new edition of their party game The Chameleon, and NorthStar Games has announced Eila and Something Shiny.
It’s convention season, which means your gaming groups and social media feeds will be consumed by all the newness. But what of the great games that came out at the tail end of 2022 and the beginning of this year?
