• In a newsletter update, Tasty Minstrel Games notes that reprints of Belfort and Martian Dice, along with the yet-to-be-released For The Win, are being prepped for shipping and "if everything goes according to plan, then the games should be arriving in about six weeks" – i.e. the start of June 2012.
As for other releases coming from TMG, Village is in the finishing stages at Ludo Fact and will likely take six weeks or so to ship once finished, artwork is nearly done for Kings of Air and Steam (and I'll post a diary from designer Scott Almes before the game hits the market), and pre-press work has started on Ground Floor (now on Kickstarter).
• Spanish publisher nestorgames has published BASKETmind, a thirty-year-old design from Miguel Marqués, who has detailed the origin and development of the game in this BGG thread.
What's more, FFG has announced a quintet of X-Wing expansion packs and four of those now have listings on BGG:
-----—X-Wing Expansion Pack
-----—Y-Wing Expansion Pack
-----—TIE Fighter Expansion Pack
-----—TIE Advanced Expansion Pack
Each of these expansions consists of a miniature of the starfighter named, new Upgrade cards, and Ship cards that include pilots to allow for squadron customization. The fifth expansion is a Dice Expansion Pack so that players don't have to pass dice back and forth during play.
• To close, I'll point out Joli Quentin Kansil's Solitaire for Two, which Gryphon Games now has launched on Kickstarter. Solitaire for Two (which actually plays with up to four) takes the solitaire game Klondike and adds two additional suits of cards and a point system to put a competitive spin on the game. Of course if you want to play Klondike using this release, which uses tiles instead of cards, that's possible, too... (KS link)
