• Designer Antoine Bauza has worked on and off on the 7 Wonders: Armada expansion for years. Here's a BGG News note about the "second" 7 Wonders expansion from July 2011 — man, were my posts different back then! — and again from September 2012. Well, apparently work is now continuing once again:

• Also due in March 2016 from AEG is Jason Tagmire's Pretense, which the designer previously released through his own Button Shy brand. Here's an overview of that title:
Quote:
Pretense is a game night social metagame, essentially a game that you play DURING other games. You have a secret role and a secret objective, and if you accomplish it, you gain a point AND you steal someone's role. With that role you can try to gain more points and more roles. The game plays from 2-12 and is great on a good-sized game night with about 5-6 people.
• For April 2016, AEG continues its trend of jokey titles a là Game of Crowns with Twilight Squabble, a quick-playing two-player card game from Flock's David J. Mortimer. A summary:Quote:
Relive the entire Cold War in ten minutes with Twilight Squabble!
In 1947, the superpowers of the United States of America and the Soviet Union began a new sort of conflict, a struggle in the twilight of World War II. This war centered on the increasing development of nuclear weapons, and as the years passed it seemed like the war would never end — but no one wants to play a card game for decades. Thus, this game presents an abridged version of the Cold War — less of a twilight struggle and more of a twilight squabble...
