As more info is coming in, this list is starting to take shape.

To let you better follow the updates, the list is currently ordered by date. The newest added games are always the last on the list. As we get closer to Essen, and you start using this list to make your shopping/try lists, I will change the sorting order to alphabetical.

From Cold War: CIA vs KGB guys...
Essen release with Asmodee edition afterward...

"The players play the role of the Boss' lieutenants, who are supposed to manage the Family's business and plot to get their leader cleared. But turncoats hide among them, people who want the Boss to be found guilty just so that they can lay claim to the Family by force, or because it's their job as undercover FBI agents!

MAFIA is a fictional-reality game starring a New-York crime syndicate as it appears in Gangster movies: a cruel and violent world where, under the cover of a tradition of silence and loyalty, everything is allowed."

Opera - the boardgame, will be first presented on a stage during SPIEL'09 this October.
(at the stand of The Game Master, hall 12, number 42)

Remarkable new game element: new bidding system which controls the order of play and the number of action for each player.
