The airships module, which introduces a new unit to the game, originated from Kai Starck, who shared his creation in the Scythe Facebook group, after which Stegmaier helped develop it to this final form. The resolutions module throws one of eight new ending conditions into play, which will naturally have ramifications for how you'll play before that time.
Scythe: The Wind Gambit is due out Q4 2017, with Stegmaier hoping to have it ready in time for SPIEL 2017.

Also, Twilight Creations has noted that its original design for a Zombies!!! collector case hasn't worked the way it intended, so the company has gone back to the drawing board and expects to receive a sample of its new design in the near future.
• Benjamin Kanelos' Red Scare, due out in September 2017 from Pandasaurus Games, has a great look and a great hook in this design for 4-10 players. An overview:
Quote:
The threat of Communist infiltration is at an all-time high, and red panic is everywhere. It's on you, trusted patriots of the FBI, to scour the files of any and all that may be promoting the Soviet agenda and threatening these sacred shores. The nation trusts you to detect, then publicly accuse and deport these traitors. But watch out because double agents are everywhere! Even your closest colleagues
are not to be trusted.
Perhaps even you have something to hide…
Red Scare is a hidden role/social deduction game with a delightful wrinkle; the only way to discover the truth about your friends is with a pair of secret decoder glasses! The game features no player elimination, so everyone is in on it until the end.
The "secret decoder glasses" have red plastic lenses, and when you don them, some of the material on the game components will now be invisible to you, revealing things previously unseen...are not to be trusted.

• Speaking of things unseen, somehow I've overlooked the announcement of Big Trouble in Little China: The Game for nine months, but better late than never. Everything Epic Games announced this Christopher Batarlis and Boris Polonsky prior to Gen Con 2016, and the current plan is to open preorders "soon". Here's an overview of this miniature-filled, cooperative game for 1-4 players:
Quote:
The game plays in two acts: Act One uses the front side of the game board: Chinatown, while Act Two takes place on the back: Lo Pan's lair. Players will choose from six characters, each with unique abilities, and will use custom dice for actions, quest tasks and combat. They will also be able to use the communal fate dice, which come with a fun risk/reward mechanic. After completing quests and upgrading their characters, players will move to the back of the board for the big showdown with Lo Pan! Will the heroes stop Lo Pan's evil scheme in time, or is everything gonna go to hell?
Everything Epic Games has been posting teaser pics of the miniatures, as well as other pieces of art, on its Facebook page./pic3460055.png)
