• In related news, since EGG is no longer involved with Brass, I reached out to Stephen Buonocore of Stronghold Games to see whether Age of Reason might be joining its release schedule once again. (In a June 22, 2015 note on the Treefrog Games website, Wallace stated that Stronghold had cancelled Age of Reason due to EGG's claims on Brass and related designs; Wallace later removed this remark from the website, but it remains part of a post on Facebook.) Buonocore responded with a "how's your weather"-type of non-response, so we'll have to wait until later to know for sure.

Quote:
In the late Middle Ages, the Canary Islands had faded into obscurity from a European point of view. There was neither gold nor silver, and the islands did not play a role as a trading post because the north-south trade of that time went through the Sahara.
In 1312, the Genoese merchant and seafarer Lancelotto Malocello effectively "rediscovered" the Canary Islands. During the 15th century, the archipelago was conquered by the Spanish. Spanish masters pushed agriculture, cultivating sugar cane, wine and grain, which quickly gave the islands a certain economic value and importance.
In West of Africa, the players cultivate goods, try to sell them profitably, and build settlements. Each player has their own deck of cards. Each turn the players select cards from their decks to conduct successful actions, always keeping the actions of the other players in mind.

That said, throughout January 2016 the list will grow, images will be added, and descriptions puffed with details of what one actually does in the games in question. As noted above, BGG will be at Spielwarenmesse in Nürnberg to record game overviews, so watch for those videos in February 2016.
