• How the years fly by... To celebrate the fifth anniversary of Michael Menzel's Legends of Andor, in Q4 2017 German publisher KOSMOS plans to release Die Legende von Andor: Die Bonus-Box, which contains additional legends, bonus material of an undefined nature, and a soundtrack CD for use with the base game (and possibly the expansions as well).
• Speaking of KOSMOS, whether or not the publisher takes home the Kennerspiel des Jahres for 2017 for the first three EXIT: The Game titles from Inka and Markus Brand, the line is clearly a success, with three new titles — Die Station im ewigen Eis, Die verbotene Burg, and Die vergessene Insel — hitting retail stores in Germany in early June 2017 and four additional titles — Das Haus der Rätsel, Die unheimliche Villa, Der versunkene Schatz, and Der Tote im Orient-Express — following in Q4 2017.
• Yesterday I posted about the announcement of Betrayal at Baldur's Gate, a Dungeons & Dragons-themed take on Betrayal at House on the Hill, but a couple of other game announcements took place during Wizards of the Coast's "Stream of Annihilation", a special event to announce its new D&D storyline "Tomb of Annihilation".
On Saturday, June 2, WizKids announced Dungeons and Dragons Dice Masters: Tomb of Annihilation, with this being another entry in the sprawling Dice Masters line. One new element for this expansion is the release of draft packs; you need at least one D&D Dice Masters starter box and one draft pack per player, with players drafting one card and two matching dice from each pack until they both have twelve cards, after which they must choose eight for their team.
In addition to that, in August 2017 WizKids will release Tomb of Annihilation Board Game, a 1-5 player cooperative game by Kevin Wilson that's part of the publisher's Adventure System Board Games line. As with WizKids' Assault of the Giants, released in early 2017, Tomb of Annihilation Board Game will be released in two versions, with the premium version having pre-painted miniatures.
You can watch the announcements during day 1 of the "Stream of Annihilation", starting at 4:29.
