Set in the Caribbean in the 17th century, this upcoming 1-4 player game by Alexander Pfister has players sailing around the islands to deliver goods, and earn influence points. Maracaibo also offers a campaign mode, and pits the solo player against another 'skillful and courageous explorer'. Release is expected in October. #Maracaibo, #Pfister, #CapstoneGames

Under the laconic description, 'Newdale is a board game set in the world of Oh My Goods', Alexander Pfister's 1-4 player campaign game will debut in this year's Essen Spiel. According to information posted in this BGG thread, the game combines 'worker placement, engine building and action programming with a certain element of risk'. Like Oh my Goods, it is illustrated by Klemens Franz (who some of us love to hate). #Newdale, #Pfister, #LookoutGames
