Here's a brief on this design:
Spirits of the Wild: Awakening is a cozy two-player game about collecting colorful stones from a central bowl and giving them as gifts to score points.
The object of the game is earn the most points by completing sets of stones on your animal boards. On your turn, you use your action tiles to add and take stones from the bowl, activate powerful spirit power cards, and move Coyote to block your opponent. Special iridescent spirit stones can double your score, but they also close out any animal board you place them on.

The game ends when five spirit stones are out of the bag. Players tally their scores, then the player with the most points wins!

What's new in this edition is that instead of both players having the same five animals on their game board, the box includes a variety of individual animal boards, allowing players to choose any five from one game to the next, although each player will use the same five animals. Also, the number of spirit power cards is triple what it was in the original game.
Nick Hayes wrote a designer diary about the updating and re-release of this design, and that will be published on June 20, 2025 to kick off Gen Con 2025 previews.

Here's the briefest of overviews of this 2-4 player Stefan Feld design:
In the strategy game Manila, you explore the Philippine archipelago, cultivate fields, establish trading posts and factories, and seek influence in Manila — all while preparing for typhoons. The game combines popular mechanisms from Amerigo with a novel action selection system and an unprecedented dice tower that creates excitement, strategy, and moments of surprise. The game plays over three rounds, with each round consisting of seven turns per players, then ends with an additional bonus round.

▪️ Game #12 in the "Stefan Feld City Collection" will be Beijing, with this being a reimplementation of In the Year of the Dragon, which was first released in 2007 by alea. Here's an overview of this 2-5 player game:
Beijing is a strategy game in which players aim to maximize the prosperity and prestige of their province. They must call upon diverse courtiers like scholars, monks, warriors, and craftsmen to help them manage their province and withstand various unfortunate events. After twelve rounds, which represent the twelve months of a year, the player who best manages their province and endures these challenging times will earn the most honor and victory points.

Beijing revitalizes In the Year of the Dragon, staying true to its core while introducing fresh improvements and increased variability. With refined mechanisms and new strategic options, Beijing enhances the tension and depth of the original, offering both veterans and newcomers a more dynamic and rewarding experience.
