Rio Grande Games has announced three new English editions of euro games: Mogul, Bohnanza: Ladies & Gangsters, and Bohnanza: Princes & Pirates; as well as a reprint of Elfengold which will include an expansion and new extras.
Rio Grande will release a new English and German edition of the 2002 economics game Mogul, designed by Michael Schacht (Zooloretto, Web of Power, Mondo). Set in the 1920s, players buy and sell railway shares at the stock exchange, trying to become overnight millionaires. The goal is to make as much money as possible, and then move it to real estate before the Crash comes and the market collapses.
The game is for 3-5 players, ages 13 and up. Release is planned before the end of 2014. MSRP has not been announced.
Elfenland is a hand management and drafting game by Alan R. Moon (Ticket to Ride, Santa Fe, Diamant), which won the Spiel des Jahres is 1998. Players are young elves, sent on a test to visit as many famous towns in Elfenland as possible, to prove they’re ready to be accepted as adults. Players must use the common forms of transportation in the realm: dragons, unicorns, elfcycles, troll wagons, etc., to visit the locations, but each region only has limited amounts of each type of transportation, and transportation is region-specific. Players must make the best use of available transportation to visit as many towns as possible.
This new edition includes the Elfengold expansion, and a new map and transportation options. The game is for 2-6 players, ages 10 and up. MSRP was not announced. Release is planned for Spring 2015.
Bohnanza is a popular and enduring family card game about raising and selling beans, designed by Uwe Rosenberg (Agricola). Rio Grande will release two expansion sets which add new beans with new characteristics to the Bohnanza family. Ladies & Gangsters is an English version including both the LadyBohn expansion and the stand-alone Al Cabohne variant, and Princes & Pirates is the English set that includes both the Bohnroschen and La Isla Bohnita expansions. Release is planned for either December or January. MSRP was not announced.
