    Arrakis. Dune. The Desert Planet. Raise your banner above the vast wasteland that stretches before you. Now that the Great Houses of the Landsraad are gathering their forces and their spies, whom will you influence and whom will you betray? A tyrannical Emperor. The inscrutable Bene Gesserit. The shrewd Spacing Guild. The fierce Fremen of the Deep Desert. The power of the Imperium can be yours, but war is not the only way to seize it.

    This is how Dune: Imperium is presented, designed by Paul Dennen, responsible for the Clank! series, Wild Tiled West, or Eternal: Chronicles of the Throne. First published in 2020 by Dire Wolf Digital in an English version. The illustrations are handled by Clay Brooks, Brett Nienburg, Raúl Ramos, and Nate Storm.

    In Ark Nova, you will plan and design a modern, scientifically managed zoo. With the ultimate goal of owning the most successful zoological establishment, you will build enclosures, house animals, and support conservation projects all over the world. Specialists and unique buildings will help you achieve this goal.

    This is how we are introduced to Ark Nova, a design by Mathias Wigge, this being his first title to see the light of day. It was first published in 2021 by Feuerland Spiele in a German version. The illustrations are handled by Loïc Billiau (Spirit Island, Glen More), Dennis Lohausen (Terra Mystica, Glass Road), and Steffen Bieker.

    Brass: Birmingham tells the story of the entrepreneurs who competed in Birmingham and its surroundings during England’s Industrial Revolution, between the years 1770 and 1870. In this reimplementation of the original masterpiece, Brass: Lancashire, you will expand your empire by constructing canals and railway lines, and you will build and develop various types of industries, such as cotton mills, coal mines, manufactureries, breweries, iron industries, and potteries.

    This is how Brass: Birmingham is presented to us, a new version of Martin Wallace’s classic (Age of Steam, A Study in Emerald, A Few Acres of Snow) with the collaboration of Gavan Brown and Matt Tolman, both responsible for designs like Super Motherload or JAB: Realtime Boxing. The game was published in 2018 by Roxley Games after a successful crowdfunding campaign via Kickstarter. The artwork is handled by Lina Cossette, David Forest (the duo behind the look of games like Santorini or Charterstone), and Damien Mammoliti (The Witcher Adventure Game, Edge of Darkness).
