Iello has revealed details on three of its planned releases for next February:  Happy Pigs, The Pied Piper, and Tem-purr-a.

In the farm strategy game Happy Pigs, designed by Kuraki Mura (Dice’s Zoo, Taiwan Snackbar), players try to raise piglets for market to earn the most money while dealing with unexpected events.  In each round, the number of actions a player can take decreases if more players try to take the same action, forcing players to try to time their actions carefully to get the best benefits and make sure that their pigs are vaccinated on time.  MSRP is $34.99.

Also designed by Mura, Tem-purr-a depicts an eating contest between hungry cats.  Players try to eat as much food as they can without getting indigestion, while pushing dishes onto their neighbors in order to make them over-indulge.  MSRP is $14.99.

Meanwhile, Iello continues its successful series of book games inspired by fairy tales with design house Purple Brain’s The Pied Piper, the sixth game in the Tales and Games series.  In this game, players try to foist their unwanted rats onto their neighbors, ultimately forcing them to leave the town of Hamelin, while the mysterious piper of the tale plays his rat-luring music.  MSRP is $29.99.
