Crooked Dice Game Design Studio are working towards plugging some gaps in their fantasy monster range, and they will be having advance copies of their new Gnolls Warpack at UK Games Expo this weekend.

The Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) awards were first created in 1978, celebrating the best in board and card game design. Even being nominated for the award can bring in a massive sales boost for the games, with the winner often selling 500,000+ copies. It is one of the few awards in the games industry that has a major effect on sales and exposure. The awards, and nominations, are usually covered in the mainstream news in Germany.

Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo and Leonardo all walk into a pizza joint… all are icons and classic fighters but that’s not the only similarity between them any longer. Now they have all been immortalised in two new Unmatched sets by Iello which will be hitting stores next week.

This week see’s the release of THREE bite-size expansion packs for the popular spy-themed party word game Codenames, by Czech Game Editions.
