Z-Man Games has announced plans to release four new titles over the next few months: Troyes, Yggdrasil, Mermaid Rain, and Nobody But Us Chickens. These new games cover a wide range of styles and genres.

 

Scheduled for an April release is the English-language version of Troyes. Originally published in Belgium by Pearl Games, Troyes uses dice for resources as players compete to improve and expand their medieval French domains. Designed by Sebastien Dujardin, Xavier Georges, and Alain Orban. Suggested retail price will be $54.99.

 

YggdrasilMD.jpg}Also planned for April is the Norse-themed cooperative game Yggdrasil. One to six players assume the role of Norse gods in the final battle of Ragnarok. They must work together to protect the Yggdrasil tree from the forces of evil. Designed by Cedric LeFebvre and Fabrice Rabellino. Suggested retail price will be $54.99.

 

Later in the spring, Z-Man will release Mermaid Rain. As surf-riding mermaids, the players try to discover enough treasure to bribe the water witch so they can walk on land, and still have enough left to win the heart of a human prince. Designed by Hitoshi Yasuda and Keiji Kariya. Suggested retail price will be $34.99.

 

May will see Nobody But Us Chickens, originally published by Diet Evil Games. A quick filler game for three to six players, Nobody But Us Chickens features bluffing and double-guessing as players try to nab the plumpest chickens with their foxes. Designed by Kevin Nunn. Suggested retail price will be $15.00.
