2009 list is below. Note, some depend on me getting the files I need.... Also note I am not saying early or mid or late 2009 - I have no idea when in 2009 these will come out at this time. And a very few of these _might_ be pushed back - I don't want to make promises. But this is what I plan - key word is "plan":

Prophecy Expansions 1 and 2
Court of the Medici
Ideology 2nd edition
Cleopatra's Caboose
Aviation Tycoon
Ubongo Extreme
Ubongo Duel
Burrows (was Tubes - now we can dispense with the jokes
Long Shot (a very cool horse racing game - plays in about an hour)
Order Up (great for families)
Council of Wyrms (trick-taking game centered on Dragons)
Monster Liner (I hope)
Arena
Bridge Troll
Pandemic expansion (a real possibility)
A B-Movie card game - genre unknown at this time.
Reef Encounter of the Second Kind
Archaeology the card game (based on the Australian publication of the same card game)
Duel in the Dark Early Nights and Baby Blitz expansions
Duel Above the Clouds (maybe)

To me, personally, that is a long list of really fucking boring shit.

Sort of interested in Arabian Nights, though.

Aviation Tycoon sounds interesting but it still doesn't sound like the Air Bucks type game that I've been looking for....

Ah well....

Tales and Prophecy Expansions 1 & 2 are the top of my list. If he kept putting out stuff like that I would be ordering his games En Masse. I'm thinking he's trying to diversify as much as possible though. 90% of the stuff I could care less about though I'm curious to hear about arena. Most of that stuff though doesn't grab me.

Reef Encounter expansion could be cool.

You can have the rest.

I'm as excited for Tales of the Arabian Nights as I am for any other upcoming game. That's one I'll probably buy as soon as it's released.

Meh. I want something in the 1960:THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT genre. 2000:THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT would be pretty sweet. Or even 1860:THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT.

Me too!

Me three! I had forgotten to put this on my official list. (Not really a list, but a post-it note with randomly oriented scribbling on it.)

But I like the title "Bridge Troll." I could see a great, light game of this, but somehow doubt that's what is coming out.

Tops on my list of games I know my mostly non-gamer wife would love to play. She's more interested in games than the "Malloc Theorem" allows [i.e., "There are no "gamers waiting to be unlocked by the right gateway," just people who humor you."], but I know my limits. But, Arabian Nights? She's already asked twice about its release date...

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz man.

I'm looking forward to Neuroshima Hex, Tales of the Arabian Nights and those damned Prophecy expansions!
