So what's new in this version to merit the 3.0 tag? To start with, Neuroshima Hex! 3.0 has new artwork and an updated and corrected rulebook with more examples of gameplay to explain game situations and rules. The Doomsday Machine army that was given away at Spiel 2007 is now included in the base game as a fifth army. The game includes a solo variant that uses 55 puzzle cards, similar to those in the Neuroshima Hex: Puzzle app. Finally, this version includes new three-player variants: Deathmatch; Deathmatch with scores; one player vs. a team; and a team match with one player playing two armies.
As noted in the Z-Man Games announcement, Neuroshima Hex! 3.0 debuts at Gen Con 2013 in August, with Z-Man hosting a tournament at the convention and giving away a year's worth of games as the prize.

So what's the game? In Ricochet Robots, a.k.a. "The Game of Staring", players try to move one of the robots on the board onto the target space revealed that round. Each robot can move only orthogonally, and once it starts moving, it doesn't stop until it hits a wall. Thus, you often have to move a robot, move it again to create a wall so that you can move a second robot and stop it in an optimal position, move the first again, etc. until you land a robot on the target.
The trick is that you need to do this in your mind while everyone else is doing the same thing. Once you think you have a solution, you say a number out loud, indicating how many moves it took you to reach the target, and flip a sand timer. Everyone else then has a limited amount of time to find a solution with fewer moves. When time runs out, the player who said the lowest number presents her solution. If correct, she claims a token; if not, the player with the next lowest number goes. Once all the target tokens have been claimed, the player with the most tokens wins.

Card Wars is the most epic card game ever found in the Land of Ooo, or anywhere for that matter! In the Adventure Time episode "Card Wars", Jake begs Finn to play his favorite trading card game. Finn accepts, despite warnings from Beemo on how very competitive Jake can be while playing the game. Finn and Jake battle against each other to decide who will be the Dweeb and who will be the Cool Guy.
Now fans can play the actual Card Wars game, with all of the action taking place in four combat lanes. Jake's corn-themed deck features creatures from the episode such as the powerful Husker Knights, the intimidating Legion of Earlings, the heroic Archer Dan and many more! Finn's "Blue Plains" deck features creatures from the episode such as the wise Ancient Scholar, the aptly named Cool Dog, and the most fearsome critter of all – The Pig!
Each turn, a player has two Action Points to spend on Creatures, Spells, and Locations, and cards cost between 0 and 2 Action Points to play. When you summon a Creature, you choose which lane you want to place it in; some Creatures have FLOOP abilities that allow you to use their special abilities. When you attack with a Creature down a lane, you might find an opposing Creature, or you might get to deal your damage straight to your opponent's Hit Points. Reduce your opponent's Hit Points from 25 to 0 and you're the Cool Guy (and you win the game)!
Each Starter Set has a pair of different forty-card decks and is ready to play right out of the box. Mix the decks together to come up with your own righteous combos!
Card Wars is a collectible trading card style game. Be on the lookout for future add-on packs to add to your collection!

In Les Bâtisseurs, the cards represent buildings or workers. Players score points (and gain money) by completing the construction of buildings, while placing a worker on a construction site costs money.
Each building has four characteristics (carpentry, masonry, architecture, tilery) rated between 0 and 5, and the workers have the same characteristics valued in the same range. To complete a construction, the player must add enough workers to cover the four characteristics of the building.

[W]e wanted to present our costumers an opulent equipped game in a small box in which we have invested another two years in editorial work. Uruk 2 should be published in collaboration with some foreign partners after the Nürnberg toy fair worldwide, because we know, that Uruk has a lot of fans outside of Germany. Unfortunately, this did not accord with the authors. You will surely understand that I can't say anything about the internals. We have tried everything to reach an agreement with the authors, but unfortunately we did not succeed. Because of that we have to officially announce that Uruk 2 will not be published.
Strange...
