Paladins Of The West Kingdom
Renegade Games

Paladins Of The West Kingdom is the second in the West Kingdom Series by designers Shem Phillips and SJ MacDonald.  These two designers also did the North Sea Saga Series: Raiders Of The North Sea, Explorers Of The North Sea, and Shipwrights Of The North Sea).

Publisher Description

Build fortifications, commission monks and defend the city in this unique worker drafting, action selection game for 1-4 players.

The aim of Paladins of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at game’s end. Points are gained by building outposts and fortifications, commissioning monks and confronting outsiders. Each round, players will enlist the help of a specific Paladin and gather workers to carry out tasks. As the game progresses, players will slowly increase their faith, strength and influence. Not only will these affect their final score, but they will also determine the significance of their actions. The game is concluded at the end of the seventh round.

Abomination
The Heir Of Frankenstein
Plaid Hat Games

New from Plaid Hat Games is Abomination: The Heir Of Frankenstein, a gothic strategy game of monster building.

Publisher Description 

Abomination brings to life the world of Mary Shelley’s immortal
Frankenstein. Set in Paris, the game takes place twenty years after the
events of the novel. You are one of several esteemed scientists invited to
dabble in the immoral world of monster building, to continue the dark
work abandoned by Victor Frankenstein.
Through strategic worker placement and careful management of
resources, you’ll gather raw materials from the cemeteries and morgues
around the city, conduct valuable research at the Academy of Science,
hire less-than-reputable associates, and toil away in your lab—all in an
effort to assemble a new form of life and infuse it with a “spark of being.”
Do well, and the Creature may reward you during one of his surprise visits.
Do poorly, and you may come to regret not putting forth more effort!
Once a player succeeds in bringing their creation to life, or after 12
rounds have elapsed, the game ends and the player with the most victory
points fulfills Frankenstein’s dark legacy, for good or ill…
