—Moon Adventure is a co-operative game from Oink founder Jun Sasaki based on his Deep Sea Adventure, with players needing to work together on the moon to recover supplies, survive magnetic storms, and make do with a limited oxygen supply?
—Dokojong is a co-design between Sasaki and Shunya Shiina in which you're trying to keep your pooch hidden among five tiles while spotting the dogs owned by other players.
—In a Grove is a Sasaki design from 2011 that's being re-released with slight changes to the components and rules that now allow for play with up to five people.

If you're not familiar with the company, Button Shy releases "wallet games" that consist of at most 18 cards packaged in a bi-fold plastic wallet. The KS campaign started with three titles on offer: John Baluci's two-player time-flipping, wizard-battling game Antinomy; Robin Gibson's Arcane Bakery Clash, in which two chefs square off in the kitchen to cook up attacks; and Jon Simantov's galactic battle game Liberation that challenges the Liberation player to cycle through their deck three times before Dynasty locates their base.
Instead of "normal" stretch goals, Button Shy had KS backers vote on which additional titles should be added to the campaign, and this project that closes on February 6, 2021 now has a dozen different titles on offer. The more you order, the more challenging fulfillment will be for the publisher!

Some of the titles being reprinted
• At the other end of the size spectrum on Kickstarter, we have Castles of Mad King Ludwig: Collector's Edition from Ted Alspach and Bézier Games, with this title including the original Castles of Mad King Ludwig base game, the Secrets expansion, two new expansions ("Royal Decrees" and "Towers"), material for a fifth player, new 3D bits, GameTrayz to hold everything, and art by Agnieszka Dabrowiecka, who originally did the art for the Polish version of Castles of Mad King Ludwig.
The final package for Castles of Mad King Ludwig: Collector's Edition (KS link) looks to be on par in size with the 2019 Suburbia: Collector's Edition, which means both of these titles can double as workout equipment.

Wait, really?
As AEG's John Zinser's explains in this blog post, they still love the game in house and enough fans still play the game that a 20th anniversary expansion made sense — although given that the market might be somewhat limited, this will not be a retail item. Instead AEG is taking preorders for this expansion solely through its webstore with a cutoff date of February 5, 2021. As for what the expansion is, here's an overview:

The legendary collectible card game of d20 combat, Warlord: Saga of the Storm had a long history with many players still active in tournaments and leagues to this day. Warlord is a long-time favorite of many at AEG, and we did not want to let the 20th anniversary of this classic game pass without a tribute.
In the days of the CCG, Warlord was unique in its "Challenge System", which allowed players to take on rare and powerful enemies at special events. The most coveted of these were the Medusan Lords, completely unique cards that represented the creators' own role-playing game characters. If you beat the odds and defeated one, you claimed it as your own.
Warlord: Saga of the Storm – 20th Anniversary is an expansion for Warlord that looks back at the origins of the Medusan Lords when they were simple warlords, which means that everyone can now build decks using these characters!
