• German publisher AMIGO has teased its game releases in the latter half of 2021, promising detailed information about the games on August 2, 2021. Since I somewhat know what the BGG audience is interested in, I'll note that Tulpenfieber (Tulip Fever) — the box in the lower left with the hard-to-read logo — is a 1-4 player dice game from Uwe Rosenberg for players aged 8+ that plays in 30 minutes.

• Speaking of Rosenberg, in mid-July 2021 developer Uli Blennemann of Spielworxx announced a 2022 release from the designer:


Board Game Publisher: KaleidosGames
Spartaco Albertarelli of KaleidosGames has been posting teaser pics of a new version of VektoRace, a 2018 release co-designed with Davide Ghelfi. This racing game has a decently high rating almost primarily from Italian players and seems not to have had much exposure outside of Italy and SPIEL, with the BGG description not helping in terms of telling us what the game is like:
Quote:
VektoRace is a racing car simulation based on a vector movement concept called "Octagon System". The game requires only a flat surface to be played so you won't find a game board inside.

The official maximum number of players is four, but the game can be easily played up to eight players.
If you've played VektoRace, perhaps you can chime in below as to how this game compares to other racing games — or update the BGG description, then paste that new description as a comment. Two birds with one block of text!

Here's the packaging of the new edition, which will apparently be delivered on fire to all buyers:

The publisher also plans to sell a package of pre-assembled vehicles:
