Through the Desert – Z Man Games

Nations the Dice Game – Stronghold
Nations: The Dice Game is a game for 1-4 players that takes 10-15 minutes per player and shares many concepts with the civilization-building game Nations while still offering its own challenges. The game is played over four ages (four rounds).
Teen Titans Go! – Cryptozoic
In Teen Titans GO! Deck-Building Game, players get to take on the roles of their favorite heroes from the Teen Titans Go! animated series on Cartoon Network. Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven are trying to outdo each other in a friendly contest to defeat the most supervillains. Players’ oversized hero cards offer them strategies they can follow, or they can choose their own path.

Photosynthesis – Blue Orange
The sun shines brightly on the canopy of the forest, and the trees use this wonderful energy to grow and develop their beautiful foliage. Sow your crops wisely and the shadows of your growing trees could slow your opponents down, but don’t forget that the sun revolves around the forest. Welcome to the world of Photosynthesis, the green strategy board game!
Smarty Party – R&R Games
Party/trivia game centered around the idea of players collectively naming items on a list (e.g. “10 US states with most shoreline”). As players, in turn, miss an item, they acquire penalty points (forward movement on the game board). When a player reaches the end of the track, the person who advanced the least is the winner.
Combines Trivial Pursuit and Outburst (though there’s no real-time screaming).
