I'll change a bit the formula as these posts proved to be too exhausting to write. So basically, I check every new additions to the database as usual, but I'll only present those that sparked my interest in one way or another. It's an arbitrary selection instead of an exhaustive reporting. Sorry for that.
Explorers of the Woodland is a 1-4 players dungeon crawler with tile placement and dice rolling. The dice you roll are then placed on your action board to activate specific actions (isn't that reminiscent of Pocket Landship somehow?). It should hit Kickstarter at some point.
The Secret Garden of Keukenhof: a "spin and write" game (whatever that means) in which you are gardening in Holland.
Space Lane Trader is also an upcoming KS. You navigate your ship through the space Federation to make trades, earn money, upgrade your ship, make better trades, earn more money.
This Didn't Happen, also announced as a future KS, is a game in which you travel through time to alter history to prevent apocalypse from happening. But meddle too much with the time line and you may cause the apocalypse to happen even sooner...
Elric: Rise of the Young Kindoms aka the game with zero info. I don't even know if it plays solo. EDIT: Actually I have just found out a trailer for the game, which basically shows the same picture as above (only with subtly undulating flaming letters). At least it tells you that the game will be crowdfunded through KS in Spring 2022, and points out that one of the two designers is behind the Zombicide franchise.
Base. Explore space through worker placement. Sign contracts with private companies and become governor of your own planet. You also build a base in the process, as the name suggests.
Tales from the Red Dragon Inn. If you follow the Sifting thread it got announced there already by Snow Dragonka. A co-op dungeon crawler, and a future Kickstarter.
EDIT: Actually it just got a launch date as I was writing the post, September 30! Preview page is already up.
Sorcery! The Board Game: pick a character, explore the lands, fight with your cards.
From Barrett Publishing (Gabe Barrett is the designer of the Hunted series) will come the solitaire only game The Hand of Destiny. In the spirit of Palm Island and Maiden's Quest, it's a no-table-needed game, entirely playable in your hand. Finally, I was wondering when we should start to see designs picking up on this great idea (the two games above are not too much to my liking, even though the concept is awesome).
I hadn't realized it but Hand of Destiny is actually the "to be published" version of Griphold Tower, whose PnP files are available here.
The PnP for Secret Garden of Keukenhof is actually available on a dedicated WIP thread.
Sorcery, Hand of Destiny, and Explorers of the Woodlands for me as well. 😊
Geez, Z, no need to apologize for the non-exhaustive reports. I think I can speak for everyone in saying we appreciate your contributions, large or small. We're grateful to all three of ya for your financially unrewarded efforts. All three of ya..., I ponder.
Hmmm... You're nearly a famous trio!
We need a catchy name that isn't already taken. Let's see, we already have:
1) The Three Stooges
2) The Three Musketeers
3) The Three Bears
4) The Three Little Pigs
5) The Three Amigos
6) The Three Tenors
7) The Three Heads of Cerberus
8) The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Maybe we could have a contest to name our favorite Trio. The winner receiving, ah..., recognition!
I actually discarded very little games (PnP mostly), but somehow there are two games that I eagerly want to know more about (Explorers of the Woodlands, where all the art and title cries "a game for you Zerbique", and Hand of Destiny) and one I'm rather curious about as well (Sorcery the Board Game).
