• For the release of Quadropolis in March/April 2016, Days of Wonder plans to celebrate with the publication of several promotional monument tiles. Monuments — which are used only in the game's expert mode — are rare buildings that earn you victory points when placed next to parks, shops, or public services in the city that you build, but cost you points when placed next to harbors or factories. To use one of these tiles, replace the monument tile in the base game that bears the same ID number as the promo tile. (Monuments with the same ID number cannot coexist in the game, even if they have different final letters.)
The four tiles below — Monuments of the World — will be available as part of the prerelease program in the U.S. and through retail stores in Europe. What's more, each market in which the game debuts (Korea, Spain, Belgium, etc.) will have a unique promo tile of its own featuring a real-world monument from that country.

• Along the same lines, Asmadi Games is taking preorders for Mottainai, Red7, and Innovation, games that are already on the market, but Asmadi is judging the market for versions of its games that include "100% plastic cards", versions that generally cost twice as much as the far-less-hip paper versions.
• Blue Orange Games co-owner Thierry Denoual notes that BOG will release a new edition of Claude Leroy's Gyges in 2017.
• To continue the stream of Antoine Bauza tweets, here's a small mention of an expansion being in the works for 7 Wonders: Duel:
