Each year after GenCon comes the flood of great new games. There are so many this week that we’ll go over them in sections.
New to the Game Library
Pantone, the Game, 8+, 2-20 Players 
Paper Tales, 10+, 3-5 Players
In Pantone, the Game, players use Pantone color swatches to create character images for the other players to guess for points. This game is really fun and creative. Can you represent Santa Clause with just color? How about Marge Simpson?
Paper Tales is a simultaneous drafting card game. Each turn, players draft five units that they then recruit into their kingdom — assuming that they can pay.

In Warsaw City of Ruins (previously published as Capitol), players jointly build Warsaw over six epochs, from when Warsaw first became the capital at the end of the 16th century through modern times. Each player creates their own district of the city. At the end of each of the six epochs, districts give income and victory points to their owners. After six rounds, whoever has the most points wins.
Everything can be labeled, categorized, sorted by topics, or given a tag. Cities can be big or small, movies can be funny or boring, people can be geeks or politicians…but how good are YOU at tagging the world? In TAGS, you have only 15 seconds to come up with at least one fitting answer. Withstand the time pressure, collect the most marbles, and become the winner of this quick and zany game for 2 to 4 players, which can also be played in teams with 4-12 players.
Doppelgänger is a hidden role game where each player takes the role of an intrepid adventurer who will help the group overcome great perils. However, some among them are conniving doppelgängers who work against the party to bring their downfall.
