New Game Round-up: Return of the Button Men & The Birth of Eyrewood Adventures

New Game Round-up: Return of the Button Men & The Birth of Eyrewood Adventures
Board Game: Fool's Gold
Board Game: Mistfall
Board Game: Antarctica
• Passport Game Studios now says that Joshua Gerald Balvin's Fool's Gold should be available through retail outlets in September 2015, along with reprints of Hansa Teutonica and the HT: East and HT: Britannia expansions. Błażej Kubacki's Mistfall from NSKN Games and Passport should reach U.S. retail outlets in October 2015.

• Passport Game Studios will also distribute Charles Chevallier's Antarctica, which debuts at Spiel 2015 from Argentum Verlag, in North America, but no release date has been announced yet.

• At the end of August 2015, James Ernest from Cheapass Games noted that the company is "working with a major RPG publisher on a new edition of Button Men, which we hope to Kickstart in the summer of 2016. This new edition would come with a deck of 35+ new characters, all the dice you need for those characters, and an extended rules and strategy guide."

Board Game: Star Realms: Colony Wars
• Star Realms: Colony Wars from White Wizard Games is both a standalone two-player game and an expansion for Star Realms that allows for play with up to four. The Megahaulin blog has posted two previews (#1 and #2) of Star Realms: Colony Wars that each reveal two new cards.

• At PAX Prime in late August 2015, Lone Shark Games — which is headed by designer Mike Selinker — announced Eyrewood Adventures, a series of games that the publisher is creating with Penny Arcade: "It is Thornwatch and so much more." (Here's an overview of Thornwatch from May 2014.) Details on what the "so much more" is have not been announced.
