still keep rolling in and this week is no exception. Here’s a look at what came
in:
 |
| Sanssouci Ravensburger |
where players compete to build their palace garden player board such that their noblemen can move down a series of garden paths. The
farther down into the gardens the noblemen go the more victory points they will
earn. A nobleman may work his way through a maze of paths but must end on a
tile in the column in which he started. Additionally, players will each
have 2 secret mission cards that will score bonus points at the end of the game.

| Kill Shakespeare IDW |
In Kill Shakespeare, you and your friends will join together to free the kingdom from the clutches of Richard III and his forces. You will compete to liberate cities, remove his influence from the land, and complete quests to wrest control from the vile King Richard.
You will use your own influence to grow your army and steal troop – movement letters and city plans in order to liberate the cities that have been occupied by Richard and Lady Macbeth’s forces. You must be careful, however, because not all of your companions can be trusted. You must beware the vile Iago, who will steal you own plans and report your troop movements to your sworn enemies.
Throughout the game, you will be given quests by the likes of Puck, Shakespeare, and other favorite characters from the pages of William Shakespeare’s great plays.
While only one of the heroes can rule the day, you will need to work together to ensure that Richard doesn’t overrun the realm, that Lady Macbeth doesn’t ensnare your rebellion, and that Iago doesn’t gain the knowledge of Shakespeare’s whereabouts.

Blitzed! is a simultaneous-play dice game.
 |
| Strike Ravensburger |
Strike is a press-your-luck dice game.
You will roll you dice into the arena and re-roll dice already there to retrieve any number matches made. Throw in another die or end your turn. X’s rolled are out of the game as are ones sent flying. Players without dice left are eliminated. The last one holding dice wins.
 |
| San Juan Ravensburger |
San Juan is played over several rounds. In each round, each player chooses one of 5 different roles and all players take the corresponding action in clockwise order. So, for example, goods are produced by the producer and can then be sold to the trading house by the trader. With the money earned from such sales, players can build buildings in San Juan with the builder. The player who makes the best role choices and makes the best use of his privileges and the role choices of his opponents will achieve the greatest success and will win the game. At the end of the game, the winner is the player who has the most victory points.
The special feature of San Juan is that each card can be used in several ways: as money in a player’s hand, as a building when placed face up in a player’s play area, and as a good when placed face down on a production building.
