• As noted in November 2016, RGS has signed Kalle Malmioja's Honshu for release in North America, with the game due out in March 2017.
• Renegade has already released two titles from Aza Chen — Kitty Paw and Doggy Go! — and in March 2017 those will be joined by Shiba Inu House, a real-time game in which players race to assemble cards that show a doghouse roof and left and right sides into complete doghouses that match the 1-3 doghouses showing on their goal cards.
• The publisher also has a title coming from Adam P. McIver, with him wearing a designer hat this time. This title is currently listed in the BGG database as Ex Libris, but Renegade's Sara Erickson says that they're still working on the game and will have an official name later, with the game due to be released in 2017. Here's the current description on BGG:
To outshine your competition, you need to expand your personal library by sending your trusty assistants out into the village to find the most impressive tomes. Sources for the finest books are scarce, so you need to beat your opponents to them when they pop up.
You have only a week before the Mayor's Official Inspector comes to judge your library, so be sure your assistants have all your books shelved! The Inspector is a tough cookie and will use her Official Checklist to grade your library on several criteria including shelf stability, alphabetical order, and variety — and don't think she'll turn a blind eye to books the Council has banned! You need shrewd planning and cunning tactics (and perhaps a little magic) to surpass your opponents and become Grand Librarian!
