Future project-wise, can't say definitely but at the moment I'm working on a Resistance follow-up and other social games. I just love games where people spend more time looking at each other than the board.
On the completely other side of that, I love the GIPF series of games and have one similar-type game of my own, though I doubt it will ever see publication since these just don't sell that well.
• The Hamilton, Ontario branch of the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) profiles Nick Shier and Jessica Maurice, who plan to open Gameopolis, the town's first board game café. An excerpt: "They're also aiming to host events for the community from tournaments to singles nights and charity fundraisers. 'Someone mentioned a really cool idea of doing a Hungry Hungry Hippos tournament for donations for the food bank, which we're really excited about,' Maurice says."On the completely other side of that, I love the GIPF series of games and have one similar-type game of my own, though I doubt it will ever see publication since these just don't sell that well.

• Every new game needs a gimmick, right? Well, not really, but for those who think so, German kids science magazine GEOlino has something innovative and gimmicky for your gaming table and your freezer: Meltdown, the first board game that melts. From the publisher's description:
Quote:
The aim of the game is to take a polar bear family from the permanent ice floes to safety on the mainland. It's a race against time as the way leads across real, slowly melting ice floes, which children can make themselves with the accompanying mold, a bit of water, and a freezer compartment. The chunks of ice are arranged on a blue polar sea sponge to form a small Arctic. The sponge is used as the game board and absorbs the melted ice at the same time. Now you can start saving polar bears.
