The other player commands the Outpost troops, attacking the convoy and trying to slow it down. The Outpost deck also contains 35 cards: soldiers (such as Runner or HG), buildings (such as Bunker or EMP Cannon), and many special cards (Move, Retreat, Medic). The Outpost has to win a few battles, slow down the march of Moloch as much as possible, and prepare to welcome robots in New York City.
• Rob Daviau's V-Wars from IDW Games and Pandasaurus Games is due out Dec. 18, 2015, according to ACD Distribution.
• I wrote about J. Alex Kevern's Daxu from White Goblin Games in May 2015, and the Dutch publisher has a number of other releases in the works — twenty in all for the Benelux market — with most of those being Dutch versions of games from other publishers.
As for games in which it controls the look of the finished product, here are four games on the horizon from WGG, starting with a new edition of Néstor Romeral Andrés' tile-laying game Hong, previously self-published through nestorgames. A short description: "Two players – MORE and LESS – share a common pool of identical squared pieces depicting two dragon heads and one dragon segment. A hong is a straight line of one or more segments with a dragon head on each end. The MORE player must create as many hongs as possible, while the LESS player must prevent that many hongs from being created." This edition of Hong features new artwork, a double-sided game board (Castle and Garden), and a mini-expansion (Lair of the Seven Great Dragons).
White Goblin Games also plans to release a new version of Bruno Faidutti and Serge Laget's Kheops, which first appeared in 2008 in an edition from Tilsit that few people probably ever saw. This new edition incorporates several rule revisions while featuring new art from Josh Cappel. An overview of the game:
When the pyramid is built, the player controlling the longest networks is named Pharaoh's architect, while his rival is fed to the crocodiles.
