• Mayfair Games has announced that Star Trek: Catan – available only through the nationwide retail chain Target in the U.S. – will be distributed by Alliance Game Distributors in Canada, Esdevium in the UK, and Pixelpark in New Zealand.
• Frontline General: Spearpoint 1943 Village and Defensive Line Map Expansion from Collins Epic Wargames is headed to distributors and should be available in retail outlets by the end of August 2012.
• Portal Publishing has released an...interesting teaser for its upcoming Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the Cursed Island from Ignacy Trzewiczek, due to debut at Spiel in October 2012. Not sure that's the tagline I'd go with were I to release a cooperative game, but who knows?
• And in case you're headed to Gen Con and don't already have enough games on your plate – or if you like being a test subject for unpublished games – John Moller at Cartrunk Entertainment has compiled a short list (PDF) of nearly sixty prototypes and preproduction copies of games that will be available somewhere at the convention, along with contact information for the designers/publishers responsible for these games. For brief game descriptions and playtest/demo times for some of these games, check out the 16-page long list (PDF). Assuming I'm still conscious in the late hours after finally finishing the Gen Con 2012 Preview and covering the show itself, I'll be looking for games to play. Yes, play! Maybe I'll see you there?
