In Ali, players re-enact the story of "Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves" – but as a push-your-luck memory game.
Each round, one player takes the role of Ali while the other players are all thieves. These thieves must repeat, in turn and without error, an ever-growing list of objects – these objects being the treasures that Ali Baba covets and wants to steal. The question for Ali is whether to stop or not before he covets too much and ends up stuck in the cave, with the treasures falling into the hands of the thieves.

• On its daily Illuminator blog, Steve Jackson Games has posted a retailer sell sheet for Ogre: Designer's Edition, as well as a preorder form that interested buyers can take to their local game store, if they're uninterested in buying the game or unable to buy it via Kickstarter. Sell sheets aren't normally distributed to customers since they're meant to inform distributors and retailers, but as SJG's Phil Reed has noted on BGG: "The really important bit I want to point everyone to is the fact that the game is limited." From the sell sheet:
Quote:
It's highly underpriced for the huge amount of material it contains, and we expect to print it once and only once.
This edition will be printed to order. We will take advance distributor orders, print them, and ship them. We will have few, if any, available for re-order.
Even with 2,443 backers on Kickstarter as of me writing this note on May 1, 2012 at 10:51 a.m. (GMT -4), Reed suggests that the total print run might still be under 3,000, which would make the game tough to find later – other than from all the speculators among the KS backers who are stuffing copies in their closet for sale in 2015...This edition will be printed to order.

• Pandasaurus Games has launched its Kickstarter project for the third edition of Doug Eckhart's Tammany Hall, first published by StrataMax Games in 2007, then reissued in a pretty edition with art by Peter Dennis in 2009. The Pandasaurus edition also uses this Dennis artwork, and the company is promising on KS to add a funding level so that existing Tammany Hall owners can acquire an extras produced as a result of the KS campaign.
