The card game Cheaty Mages puts you in the role of a wizard who has come to watch and bet on monsters fighting in an arena. Of course, you have all of your spells to help the monsters you've bet on win (or harm the monsters fighting against yours) – but then again, so do all of the other players, too! What's more, judges line the arena during combat and if players push things too far with their cheating spells, a judge might intervene and dispel – or even eject – the fighter! Who will walk away with the largest pile of gold?
But wait, there's more! As suggested in that aforementioned BGGN post, AEG will release "a limited edition of the original Love Letter from Japan, featuring the original art by Noboru Sugiura", with this release coming in 2013. AEG also promises that "[t]here will be more Big in Japan releases announced later this year"./pic1644910.jpg)

Lost Legacy is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2–4 players. Players, each with one card in hand, take turns clockwise around the table picking one card from the deck and playing one of the two cards. This continues until the deck runs out of cards, followed by an Investigation phase. Players then take turn to try to guess who holds the Lost Legacy card.
Lost Legacy, an official spin-off of Love Letter, includes two sets of 16 cards. Players can use one set or the other or combine them in various ways to alter the powers available in the game. Shuffle all the cards together, and you can include up to six players in the same game.

In Star Trek Tactics: Movie Mini-Game, players go head-to-head, with one or two players controlling Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock and trying to repel a Klingon assault on the U.S.S. Enterprise. The other player controls the Klingons, of course, and wants to see Spock and Kirk reduced to atoms floating between the stars.
And this comment ties back into earlier statements I've made about gamers needing to preorder the items they want to buy. At some level, you need to push retailers into carrying the things that you want to buy, with those retailers (ideally) then pushing on distributors so that publishers have confirmation that they're not crazy in making such releases. Yes, in a perfect world retailers and distributors would do a better job of ordering games and satisfying their customer base, but all too often if faced with an item of uncertain sales potential, the retailer/distributor will drop a zero in the order box and move on to the next thing. With so many games coming down the chute, it's tough to research all of them and guess accurately as to how many you'll sell. Of course if you have no idea that a game is coming out – hint, hint, Star Trek Tactics: Movie Mini-Game – then netting no preorders wouldn't be much of a surprise!
