  • Pillars of Eternity: Lords of the Eastern Reach from Zero Radius Games is a new city building card game which takes place in Obsidian Entertainment's computer RPG Pillars of Eternity.

Pillars of Eternity: The Lords of the Eastern Reach is expected March 2017.
  • Sidereal Confluence: Trading and Negotiation in the Elysium Quadrant is a new trading and negotiation game for 4-9 players coming from Wizkids.

  • Dr. Who: Time of the Daleks Board Game was announced recently by Gale Force Nine. In this game, players pick a Doctor and try to thwart the Dalek master plan of ... exterminating .. the doctors.  Time of the Daleks has a release date of May 2017.
