More Missions for The Crew, and Ra Returns Again

More Missions for The Crew, and Ra Returns Again
Board Game: Campaign Trail
Grey Fox Games has picked up Campaign Trail — first Kickstarted in 2016 by designers David, Nathan, and Jeff Cornelius for release through Cosmic Wombat Games — for release in a new edition that will be largely unchanged from the original game aside from the removal of the "Dirty Politics" module to lower the cost of the base game, as explained here by Jeff Cornelius.

That new edition will initially be available via an October 2020 Kickstarter from Grey Fox Games, which will also feature the introduction of a Green Party expansion for the game, the image of which contains all the info I know about this item, i.e., none.

• U.S. publisher 25th Century Games will release a new edition of Reiner Knizia's Ra in 2021, most likely in the second half of the year. Chad Elkins of 25th Century says that right now he's working on finding the right artist, so there are no details to share about how this version of the game might compare to earlier ones.

Board Game: MATCH 5
• I'm not sure whether the cover image shown at right is finished or not, but the image is evocative enough that when you pair it with this short description — "In MATCH 5, you just have to find a common link between two icons. Use your imagination to find an answer to each of ten combinations in three minutes." — you get a good sense of how this Carl Brière design from Synapses Games will play. MATCH 5 is for 2-8 players and will be released in 2021.

• Have you completed all fifty missions included in the co-operative trick-taking game The Crew and want more? Or want more anyway no matter how many missions you've completed? Thames & Kosmos, the North American branch of KOSMOS, has posted fifteen new missions — collectively dubbed "The Deimos Adventure" — in a print-and-play format on its website.
