New Game Round-up: Lie About Spices, Share Rings with Friends, and Cut Before You Crawl

Once upon a time, three big cats became exhausted fighting to be top cat. They agreed to quit the fight and spice up their nine lives with a hot spice eating contest. Alas, everyone was soon cheating, so the cats invented a very hot, often tearful, bluffing game.

In the game, cards are played face down so that you can cheat when you announce your card. That said, this clever card game isn't just about bluffing for you can almost always play a card that is at least half right if you cleverly play your hand. This means tactically deciding which card to use to get through: Do I play a "Pepper 10" or a color wild on a "Wasabi 9" and declare it a "Wasabi 10"? Or do I better pass because surely someone has noticed me thinking for so long now?

Spicy contains six game-variant cards, but even without these a high replayability is guaranteed.

Hello, adventurer! You must have seen a lot: miraculous worlds, battles with dragons, good triumphing over evil... You also must have suspected that dungeons were not designed on their own and dragons did not collect all of those riches they usually guard. That's what we do — create fabulous lands that would meet your highest expectations! Since there are more and more of you coming, we're overloaded and ready to hire you if you want to try your hand!

Cutterland is an innovative strategy board game in which you get to cut the cards — literally cut them into pieces and compete to create your own fabulous lands. You will divide the cards, distribute the pieces between the players, and score victory points for the creatures inhabiting your land. Whoever has the most attractive land at the end of the game wins!

Cutterland includes a mode in which you can play with the cut-up pieces, and two "recharge" packs will be available for the game: "Classics", which contains the base set of cards, and "Mashroom", which features a new creature of the same name!

Fringers is a co-operative action game. You play as a team and based on a goal card try to rearrange the rings on your fingers before time runs out. The players are allowed to give their rings only to their neighbor on the left, while your neighbor on the right will put new rings on your fingers — hopefully with the right color on the right finger.
