| Murano Mayfair Games |
Players are businessmen building up the various islands that comprise Murano, Italy in an attempt to accumulate the most victory points for the game win. Players do this by placing glass factories, shops, and palace building tiles along with gondoliers throughout the islands.
Murano utilizes an interesting game action selection mechanic. Surrounding the islands and making up the perimeter of the game board is the action track. There are 8 gondolas scattered along the action track. On a turn a player may move one of the gondolas along the action track stopping on an unoccupied action space. At times players may need to push other gondolas forward in order to free up the action space they desire but this comes at a cost. During the game players will need to acquire character cards
which not only influence their build and gondolier actions but will provide the
majority of their victory point score at the end of the game.

| Akrotiri Z-Man Games |
New from Z-Man Games is Akrotiri, a 2-player game aimed at those who appreciate a deeper strategy game.
Akrotiri places you in the role of an explorer in Classical Greek times, combing the then-uncharted Aegean sea for legendary Minoan temples. You have not only heard the rumors of their locations from other mariners – you have some of the secret maps thought to be myth! In order to fund your voyages into the unknown and excavate the ancient temples, you will have to first ship resources found on surrounding islands back to the resource-poor island of Thera. Then, using landmarks to guide your way, follow your maps maps, and unearth the forgotten temples before time forgets them, and may the gods forever bless you with favorable winds!
This is a tile placement, hand management, and pick-up and delivery game. Players place land tiles to the central game board in order to make it match the maps they have in their hand. On the various islands surrounding Thera players will gather resources and ship them back to Thera to sell in order to funds voyages in search of temples. Players earn points by excavating the bigger harder to find temples. Both players also have secret goal cards that aren’t revealed until the end of the game.
