• Space Base designer John D. Clair has posted on BGG a print-and-play version of the game’s next expansion, which is currently titled “Genesis”. Should you be willing to print, then play (strictly in that order), I’m sure he’d appreciate your feedback.
• Along the same lines, Clans of Caledonia designer Juma Al-JouJou has announced that an expansion is in the works, and he hopes to set up a digital version of the material so that anyone interested can playtest and offer feedback.
• The English and German retail editions of Grand Austria Hotel: Let’s Waltz! from Virginio Gigli, Simone Luciani, and Lookout Games have started to appear in retail outlets.
