Three games that I forgot to introduce in 2018
I apologize I haven't published an article about two months. I was busy translating games of Jingyansi Boardgame(静言思桌游), "Ocean（海洋公园）", "Pingyao（平遥）", "Dunhuang（敦煌）" and "Huizhou（徽州）".
Please refer to my past articles for these games.

I'll sell these games at Tokyo Game Market 2019 spring. My booth is Day 1 (25 May) V-06 "Sugoroku Kozo no Board Game Hanbaijo（双六小僧のボードゲーム販売所）".
The English rulebooks are still not available, but if the buyer wishes, I can send pdf file after the English rules are completed.

Now, it is time to introduce the new games in the Tokyo Game market this time, but before that, I would like to introduce three games that I forgot to introduce in 2018.
1. FILLIT
FILLIT is an abstract game.
Each player has one pawn and stones on the hexagonal board. The player moves a pawn and one stone once each on one turn. The pawn moves straight until it touches obstacles (other pawns, stones, and boundaries).
After moving the pawn, the player put chips on the hexes it passed. If there is an opponent's chip, return it to the opponent's hand. The player who puts all the chips wins.
The publisher Radiuthree is planning to sell this game at Spiel '19 as a member of Japon Brand.
ZIXZA | Board Game Geek
ZIXZA is a two-player game with a postcard-sized board and six dice.
Two player fight in the cyberspace like a 1980's cyberpunk novel.
Each player has three dice and moves one of them on the board in turns.
There are three victory conditions.
HOLD: Occupy all three squares at the center of the grid with your dice.
GET: Remove two of opponent's dice.
ARRIVE: Occupy a square farthest from you with your die.
This game contains very few components, but it's a well-made game.
Chicken or Llama | Board Game Geek
The third game is quite strange.
In "Chicken or Llama", two pairs of players try to communicate the kind of bills in order not to be noticed by the opponent.
To communicate it, players put marks on bills by folding or some other means. The face of the bills are all the same, and the back has two kinds - chicken and llama. By marking them, players distinguish the bills. The mark you put remains after the next game, of course.

While playing repeatedly, the texture of the bills in the game become resemble the real one.
Brain Brain Games announced a new rule "Chicken or Llama Poker" in 2019. This is an individual competition.
Among the players without chickens in hand, the player who drew more llama is stronger. Players can recognize the contents of the bill to a certain extent by the mark put to the bill.
I will introduce Tokyo Game Market 2019 spring new items next week.
One of the best board game for iPhone.
