The unusual and asymmetric game Ladies & Gentlemen brings players into the world of glamour. In teams of two – one playing a man, the other a woman – the players try to pull together the best-looking and most famous couple who will attend the big ball. The gentleman's duty is to make as much money as possible, which the lady will then spend on jewelry, clothes, and exclusive accessories. Each team has its own action cards to carry out its tasks, and the more that the players embody their characters – flirtatious, fashion-obsessed ladies, and rich, arrogant, pretentious gentlemen – the more fun and explosive the game will be!
So unusual! So unexpected! So retro and chauvinistic! So sold!/pic1548728.jpg)

You know how to draw? Good, then PIX is a game for you as it offers a new challenge: drawing with pixels!
You don't know how to draw? Good, then PIX is a game for you as you'll draw just as well as anyone with pixels!
That's the publisher's come-on for the party game PIX, in which your "drawing" skills will be put to the test. During set-up, you'll receive a magnetic board, twenty black square "pixels" and one red pixel; one or two other players will have the same color magnetic board as you. On a round, the players holding one color of boards will be challenged to create a pixellated image of a secret word.
Once the drawing time has run out, each player will reveal her artwork in the hopes that someone will guess what the image is. Both the correct guesser and the player who created that image score points – but here's the catch: Drawings are revealed according to the number of pixels used, so the fewer pixels you use, the more likely you are to show your image first, but the less likely other players are to guess what it is. Well, maybe – perhaps you're an 8-bit wizard and others will decipher your creations instantly...

Mobilize your fingers for the ultimate six-sided skirmish! In Cube Quest, you'll field an army of cubes, then place them strategically on the board. Each cube has special powers: Heroes and Skulks are strong on the attack, while Blinks and Guards are better for defense. Once your cubes are in position, sound the trumpets and let the flicking begin! Try to knock your opponent's king off the board, aiming carefully not to get caught behind enemy lines. Triumph in your quest and crown yourself the Cube King!
Special powered flicking – sounds like a tasty blend of my current and adolescent tastes. My brother and I used to play All The King's Men when we were youngsters, and in addition to playing it the normal way – you know, the one described in the rules – we also played a flicking version that consisted of placing the pieces on their starting positions, then taking turns flicking pieces at the other side. If you knocked down the final piece in the opponent's army, you won. (And if your opponent had to concede because his finger hurt too much from flicking the heavy plastic pieces, well, that was a victory in its own way.)Quote:
Outwit and outplace your opponent in Terzetto, a clever game of marble maneuvers. Take turns placing sets of three marbles onto your board according to the pattern in the shaker. The game starts off easy, but you'll need a keen eye and a bit of luck to make everything fit. Fill your board before your opponent, and you clearly know how to mind your marbles!
So much to take a closer look at in Nürnberg and New York. So many descriptions to rewrite and expand once those shows are over!
