New-ish Game Round-up: Make Tools, Farm, and Deliver Dishes in Japan

In 六次化農村, the player runs a farming village, aiming to develop and contribute to the village the most as a farmer over the course of six years (six rounds). To do this, players must earn money by making crops and livestock products, then selling them. Additionally, players need to demonstrate great leadership in the village parliament in order to make processing buildings that create more valuable products to sell. Also, the parliament will decide who receives subsidies, so you need to keep this in mind. Furthermore, you will be forced to make a very difficult choice between how much you will focus on parliament and focus on the village.

This is a heavyweight game that asks you to consider various elements such as product trends, field and building positions, and voting in parliament, but each element is well intertwined, making it an enjoyable game.

In the card game ワイルドゴールド, players create tools from cards and use them to dig a gold mine.

At the start, each player has a "small axe" made of one stone card and one wood card. In the play area are item cards — wood, stone, iron, and fire — and treasure cards. As players collect item cards in their hand, they can assemble various tools, such as a "big axe", "small pickaxe", "spear", and "wood bomb".

Each tool is assembled by placing the item cards in the shape of the tool. With the "small axe", a player can draw one card from the play area. With the "big axe", a player can draw two cards. With the "small pickaxe", players choose and take one card from the discard pile. With the "spear", a player can draw one card from another player's hand and snatch it if it's a treasure card. With the powerful "wood bomb", players choose to draw four cards from the play area or draw one card from each player's hand and snatch the cards if they're treasure cards.

The active player can have only up to seven items in total of the cards in their hand and their tools. Because of this, the player may have to discard some tools or treasure cards in their hand. The game ends when a player gains 10 points through treasure cards.
