In Death Valley, the best time to take your skeletal cows out to pasture is on full moon nights, when dark magic reigns across the desert. You will step into the shoes of a spectral rancher (if specters even have skin, that is), whose goal is to establish cattle routes to supply the region’s main distilleries, where the finest alcohol-free spirits made from bovine ectoplasm are crafted.
This is the premise of High Moon, the first published design by Antonio Guillamó “Guilla”. Released for the first time in 2025 by Combo Games in a trilingual Spanish, French, and English edition following a crowdfunding campaign on Verkami. The illustrations were created by Pablo Sanz (1212 Las Navas de Tolosa).
Stake your claim and protect your territory with the Blokus board game! There’s less than a minute to learn, but it guarantees hours and hours of fun and strategy for the whole family!

With the arrival of spring, the great thaw begins. Deep within the sprouting meadow grass, the queen stirs in her nest, and the colony comes to life. Soldiers venture out, battling centipedes and clashing with rival colonies for territory. Workers dig an ever-expanding network of tunnels in their tireless search for food. The first larvae hatch, and it becomes clear that this generation will be different: young colonies evolve rapidly into a multitude of new forms. The ants march to claim the meadow as their own!
This is how we are presented with March of the Ants, a design by Tim Eisner (Wonderland Wars, Canopy) and Ryan Swisher. First published in 2015 by Weird City Games in an English version following a successful crowdfunding campaign. In 2025, the publisher released the Evolved Edition, also after a crowdfunding campaign. The illustrations for this latest version are handled by Ana Gabriela Gatchalian-David, E. “Alder” Doveton, and Mr. Cuddington.
Trailblazers are those brave souls who blaze trails and venture into the wilderness. Whether on foot, by bike, or in a kayak, these tenacious travelers seek to quench their insatiable thirst for adventure. With a breathtaking natural landscape always ahead and a freshly blazed trail hot on their heels, they must not forget to return to camp. Because there are always new environments to explore, more expeditions to undertake, and more trails to blaze.
This is how Trailblazers is presented to us, a design by Ryan Courtney (Pipeline, Curious Cargo). First published in 2023 by Bitewing Games in two English editions: a standard version and a travel version. The artwork is done by Seth Lucas, marking his first experience in the board game world.
If we manage to keep our garden healthy and diverse, it will fill with life and become a sanctuary for fascinating creatures. Hummingbirds and bees are the first to arrive, filling the air with color and movement. But if we stop to take a closer look, we will discover a hidden, unknown world: tiny inhabitants abound among the mushrooms, puddles, and foliage. They live right under our feet, going unnoticed… until we decide to look Under the Leaves.
This is how Under the Leaves presents itself, a design by Trevor Benjamin and Brett J. Gilbert (Great Plains, Mandala). First published in 2025 by Fractal Games in an English and Spanish edition. The illustrations are handled by Paulina Victoria (Mahé, Big or Bang).
