White Goblin Games Bringing Six Titles to Spiel 2011

White Goblin Games Bringing Six Titles to Spiel 2011
Board Game Publisher: White Goblin Games
Dutch publisher White Goblin Games has announced a half-dozen titles that will debut at Spiel 2011 in Essen, Germany in October. While one of these titles is a reprint and a few others have already caught gamers eyes here on BGG, two of the games have not been covered previously. Here's a run down of the full list, starting with the previously known:

Panic Station – a semi-cooperative game from David Ausloos in which players need to collect fuel and hunt down and destroy a parasite hive before the one player who's already a host for the parasite infects everyone else in the game. Stronghold Games recently announced that it will release Panic Station in North America sometime after Spiel 2011.

Lost Temple – a role-selection game from Bruno Faidutti along the lines of his Citadels with players being able to use nine different characters to make their way to the temple before anyone else.

Dragon's Gold – a new edition of this Faidutti design, first released by Descartes, in which players work together to slay dragons, but then have to negotiate on who gets which goods before the treasure is lost to all. This edition has new artwork as well as "a more strategic variant for players who don't like negotiating".

Board Game: Panic Station
Board Game: Lost Temple
Board Game: Revolver

Revolver – an asymmetrical two-player card game from Mark Chaplin in which one player controls a gang of robbers trying to cross the Mexican border to safety or outlast the player who controls the posse chasing this gang.

Rattus Africanus – an expansion for 2010's Rattus from Henrik and Åse Berg that introduces a caravan, diplomats, region cards that offer more control of where the Black Death will next blossom, and a chance to play with up to six players.

Singapore – in this game players are rich merchants who are trading to develop a small outpost into a metropolis. Although the legal trade flourishes, the opium trade increases as well, and players will have the opportunity to participate in these illegal, profitable activities. However, the risk of being caught increases as more illegal activities take place...

WGG mentions that it will again be at booth 5-01 at Spiel. Also, more details about these games will be released in the months to come, with preorders also being possible.
