Dragon Castle
CMON |
Another new game from CMON is Dragon Castle, a abstract til game inspired by the traditional Chinese game, Mahjong.
Pick pairs of identical tiles from the crumbling Dragon Castle and use them to build your own realm board. Create sets of tiles of the same type and build Shrines on top of them to score points. A randomly selected Dragon bonus objective card and a randomly selected Spirit special ability card will be placed next to the Dragon Castle visible to all players. Once per turn, players may use the special ability indicated on the Spirit card. To activate and use the special ability on the Spirit card, a player must either discard one of their face up tiles or one of their unused shrines. End of game bonus points are awarded to those who have met the requirement on the Dragon bonus objective card.

Istanbul
The Dice Game
AEG |
New from AEG is Istanbul: The Dice Game, a stand-alone game for 2 to 4 players that plays in 30 minutes.
Players are traders in the Istanbul bazaar with the goal of being the first to acquire 6 rubies. They will need money and goods to purchase rubies and for those they must depend on their assistants, who are represented by the dice. The 6 icons on these dice indicate what your assistants can procure (bazaar cards, Lira, cloth, fruit, spices, and jewelry). Each turn a player will send out his/her assistants by rolling 5 dice. With the resulting icons and any previously stored Goods Markers, the player will carry out 2 actions such as collecting and storing resources or acquiring Bazaar cards or Mosque tiles to provide additional benefits.

Constellations
Xtronaut Enterprises |
Become a stargazer in Constellations a card game for 2 to 4 players and 2018 Mensa Select Award winner.
In Constellations, players are stargazers, exploring the night sky and collecting stars to define constellations. They compete to find the right stars to fit the needed pattern — are B-type stars or F-types required to complete the constellation? Players compete with each other to strategically collect the right stars, reserve patches of the sky for observation, and explore the universe. Once you have your constellation, add it to the map of the night sky being assembled right in front of you. The closer you get to putting together the actual map of the heavens, the more points you score!
Constellations also includes an educational workbook about stellar evolution, star classification information, and the history and mythology of the real constellations.
