New Game Round-up: Mare Nostrum to Sail Again, Another Trip to the Moon & Munchkin Invades Castle Panic, Love Letter

In the semi-cooperative board game Munchkin Panic, which blends the all-for-one gameplay of Castle Panic and the all-for-me gameplay of Munchkin, the Munchkin monsters have found the Castle Panic towers and are on the rampage! Players need to combine cards to hit and slay the monsters before they destroy the castle. The card combos available in Munchkin Panic are created from a unique mixing of the decks of the two source games. Each defeated monster becomes a trophy and gives up its treasure to the victor. If players work together to defeat the monsters, the player with the highest point count becomes Master Munchkin — but players must balance their self-interest with the cooperation necessary to survive. If players get too greedy, the monsters will stomp the castle flat while the players are too busy fighting amongst themselves!

It's a gritty cooperative game in which players are German citizens, soldiers, and officials who try to assassinate the tyrannical leader of Nazi Germany. In the game, players collect cards and items (combined with location and timing) to set up a successful plot. The game ends with a single roll of the dice. There are many variables and modifiers going into this dice roll, but players just have to roll a high enough total to overcome the current threshold (determined by Hitler's security stance and military support). Rolling well will mean winning the game. Rolling badly doesn't necessarily mean you lose, but it makes things much, much worse.
