I credit Qwixx with being the title that kicked off the roll-and-write trend, and this game for 2-4 players seems to retain that element of play, although details are sketchy for now:
• IELLO has set a December 2019 release date for Heroes of Stalingrad, a design by Yann and Clem of Devil Pig Games that was funded on Kickstarter (link) in April 2018 and finally making its way to market.
• In other IELLO news, the company has a game in the works titled Flying Goblins about which I can do no more than point to this cover image from Tomek Larek in January 2019:
• While at UK Games Expo at the start of June 2019, Rory O'Connor and Michael Fox from Hub Games checked out a prototype of Adventure Mart, which designer/publisher DigiSprite had just launched on Kickstarter (KS link). O'Connor was so smitten with the game that he signed it for release directly from Hub Games, with the title to debut at UK Games Expo 2020 in June. Here's an overview of the game, which Hub plans to demo at Gen Con 2019 and SPIEL '19:
In more detail, each player takes on the role of an Adventure Mart manager, setting up shop in a new town near the latest dungeon to be uncovered and competing for the business of adventurers from the local guilds. The game takes place over the course of five days (turns). Each day, players can purchase new stock to improve their store and deck, hire employees to help secure sales and interact with other players, and initiate sales with customers.
Adventure Marts never stay open for long, though! They pop up where they're needed, make as much money as they can, then move on to a new location. This means that after a week of competition with the other players, your stores will be liquidated, then the player with the most accumulated wealth wins.
