• I ran across Twelve Heroes from Takashi Sakaue, Masato Uesugi, and Product Arts in April 2016, for example, and the game was available at Gen Con 2016, but I forgot to look at it more closely during that show. Maybe next year? Especially since Catch Up Games will release a French version of Twelve Heroes in 2017. Here's an overview:
Quote:
In the two-player game Twelve Heroes, players are landlords who lead twelve units and aim to obtain land cards which are located in three regions. These land cards give you victory points, and the first player who has gained seven points wins.
Before the game begins, players choose twelve unit cards to construct a deck of their own. On your turn, you execute four phases: control, maintenance, income, and military. Military is the most important phase in a turn, during which you can muster, deploy, or move your units. You can also gain food. You consume action points to execute these actions. You need food to muster units and activate them. Managing food and maximizing synergies of units are the keys to winning the game.

• The Teind, in which you control a fairy faction, is the only game I've seen that uses baby teeth for currency, but publisher Nacho Head Games has vanished from The Game Crafter, which seems to have been the only outlet for this company. Checking with the designer to see whether the baby teeth might pop up somewhere else.
• Mothership Game Studios plans to debut in 2017 with Rick Perez' Outer Gods and Interlopers, another take on the "cultists trying to complete rituals and bring all-powerful gods to Earth" genre, with players being either cultist or investigator and trying to complete/foil rituals by adding components from their hand to what's being attempted during the current round.
