IstanbulMocha & Baksheesh
AEG |
Istanbul Mocha & Baksheesh is an expansion to the 2014 award winning board game, Istanbul.
Selling
precious fabrics, the finest of spices, and the freshest of fruits in Istanbul
was very good for business. But now the customers at the bazaar have discovered
a new delicacy: coffee!As the cunning merchant you are, you sense the fortune
you can make by selling the tasty bean. To overcome these new challenges, you
will need more help than just that of your assistants. Luckily, for a
baksheesh, the guests at the tavern are willing to take a little side job.
Also, at the guild hall, you can find the valuable help you need.
Mocha & Baksheesh Expansion not only comes with new place and tavern tiles but includes a Barrier tile that can block players movements. Additionally, there is a Guild Hall with special ability cards that you can play in place of using your Merchant or Assistants.

Coup
Rebellion G54
Indie Boards & Games |
Arriving in from the designer of Coup is Coup Rebellion G54, a new stand alone game set in the dystopian universe for 3 to 6 players.
Quick to learn, Coup Rebellion G54 uses the same fast rules as Coup – claim, counter, challenge, and bluff and then adds a strategic layer with character selection. Each game plays with five character roles chosen randomly from a deck of 25 unique character cards. The combination of abilities and interplay between these provides plenty of variability with each game. The objective is to be the last player with influence (a face-down card) for the game win.

One Night Revolution
Indie Boards & Games |
From the designer of One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Ted Alspach comes One Night Revolution, a stand alone card game that combines some aspects of One Night Ultimate Werewolf and The Resistance.
One Night Revolution uses 2 sets of cards, ID cards that identify your loyalty as a Rebel or an Informant, and Specialist cards that determine the night action you will take. During the Night phase players will secretly take turns performing the action on their specialist card. During the Day phase, each player will take a specialist token, claiming (truthfully or not) which action they performed in the night phase. Next the discussions and accusations take place until the starting player calls for a vote. Simultaneously, everyone will point to the player they want to assassinate. The Rebels win if an Informant is assassinated. The informants win if no Informants are assassinated.

roles but share a common purpose. Players play differently according to their role:
The ghost distributes cards to guide the psychics, helping them to make the
