Blue Orange Games has unveiled a long list of titles for release in Q2 2018 in the U.S., and nearly all of these titles match the description above, such as Jeff Lai's Maki Stack, a game for ages 7 and up that plays in 10-15 minutes that bears this description:

Order's up, so it's time for a sushi showdown! Balance and arrange the sushi, plates, and soy sauce bottles, and make sure to execute the order exactly as shown on the card. Be careful because one wrong move and everything might tumble over! Use your fingers as chopsticks to stack pieces, or play in team mode, with each teammate using only one hand and one finger. Maybe you'll play in blindfold mode, with you guiding your teammate as they blindly build the tower of sushi.
Be the fastest solo chef or culinary team to master the art of sushi stacking and win Maki Stack, which is playable by two, four, or six players.

It's time for a race! Can you make a face faster than anyone else in Cubeez? Not on your own face, though; no, you need to quickly turn and flip your three cubes to match the silly face on the challenge card. Will your Cubeez be surprised, sad, happy, angry, or a little bit of everything?

Summer is here, it's hot, and the pool is calling your name. You decide to join in on the cannonball contest...but watch out! Too many swimmers and this wacky pool can easily spill over, tossing you and everyone else out. Make big splashes in Pool Party by propelling your teammates into the unsteady pool, and be the first to successfully land three divers in to win.
In Shaky Manor, each player has a three-dimensional box that functions like the interior of a house with doors in the walls between rooms. On a turn, players are presented with two cards that show which items in the house need to be together in a certain room, and everyone must tilt and tap their house to try to be the first to make that happen. We recorded an overview video of the game at SPIEL '17 if you want to see this action more vividly:

"But, but...who did that?!"
In the card game Who Did It?, players race to get rid of their cards so that they can avoid the blame of owning the animal that pooped. Each game is as fun as it is fast; quickly find your card, be the first to throw it down, then blame someone else! Was it YOUR cat that pooped in the living room? Because it sure wasn't my bunny!

Get your brain back on track! In Brain Connect, you need to quickly slide and connect your thoughts in the right order, then be the first to complete the correct action to win. It's a race to see who can think and act the fastest! These sliding puzzles have sixteen different starting and stopping points, so creating a clear train of thought is always a new challenge.

Tofu Kingdom is a deduction game involving seven characters. The player assuming the role of Prince Mochi asks each of the other players one question, then guesses which player plays the role of Princess Tofu, the love of Prince Mochi. When answering Prince Mochi's questions, the other players must either lie or tell the truth based on the cards they hold.
The player who Prince Mochi chooses to be Princess Tofu (whether rightly or wrongly) wins the round and receives the number of points specified on their role card. The player who first accumulates 7 points wins.

• Where's Mr. Wolf? from Marie and Wilfried Fort plays with a setting familiar to all four-year-olds, this being the ideal minimum age of players, with those players needing to tuck animals safely in a barn before the wolf — excuse me, Mr. Wolf — comes around to turn them into pork chops.
• Kitty Bitty is a new version of Thierry Denoual's Froggy Boogie, with players now trying to move kittens around with them being spotted by the adult cats' googly eyes.I know some folks really dig googly eyes, so I thought it best to highlight this element of the game.

Note that the European branch of Blue Orange Games will release some, if not all, of the games listed above, and this list doesn't include the entirety of what they plan to release. Details on those other titles when I hear more in the next few weeks or at the latest in February 2018 when we publish game overview videos that we will record at the Spielwarenmesse trade fair in Nürnberg, Germany.
