• Is it time for the German game publishers to start announcing their 2016 lines? Pegasus Spiele has revealed details of one such release: Yeti from Benjamin Schwer. An overview:
In Yeti players are competing adventurers and mountaineers, looking for traces of the Yeti, the legendary Snowman in the Himalaya. They want to find its footprints — or even better take photos of it — in order to collect points. To achieve this, they need to improve their equipment and acquire the help of Sherpas to lead them up the mountains. Most importantly, though, they should hope for good weather because if too much snow falls, the search of all players comes to a halt...
• Cool Mini Or Not plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign for Xenoshyft: Dreadmire in January 2016, with this title being playable as a standalone game or something that combines with XenoShyft: Onslaught.
• As noted in our BGG.CON 2015 coverage, Gale Force Nine has a 4X Star Trek game coming in Q3 2016 for the fiftieth anniversary of the television show. You can learn more about the game in this video, although development is still in progress, so GF9 isn't releasing many details right now.
• In the (short) meta-tradition of Deck Building: The Deck Building Game, designer/artist Adam P. McIver has announced plans to self-publish Point Salad: The Salad-Building Game, which bears this description:
In more detail, using a rondel-based mechanism, you move your meeple on your turn to one of the three salad bar stations in front of you, take the ingredient available there, then perform the action that corresponds to that station. If another player's meeple is currently located at the station you want to visit, you can bump them — but doing so allows them to leave the line and move to any unoccupied station, giving them a free ingredient and action.
