Roar: King Of The Pride is a new board game from
IDW Games, and designers
Daryl Andrews (
Sagrada) and
Erica Bouyouris, which has players competing to be the dominant lion pride in Africa. 3-6 players must manage their food supply, expand into new territories and raise cubs to compete effectively. Be careful of other players' secret objectives, and new more powerful threats that encroach into the Savannah. Expect
Roar: King of the Pride in March 2018.
Loot Island from
Whats Your Game and
Aaron Haag (
Yunnan) is a pirate themed card game with an interesting balance between teamwork and selfishness. 2-5 players take turns placing their map cards on the landings of Loot Island. Each location requires enough map cards to find the loot, but the loot must be divided among the contributing players, with first come first served. Do you add to the map to gain a small share, or do you withhold your information, hoping the other players fail to find any loot at all? And just to make it crazier, there is a traditional pirate curse which must be broken.
Loot Island should hit stores in November 2017.

Muse should hit stores by November 24, 2017.
