New York 1901 - a simple to learn, fun to play, gorgeous looking game. Think Tetris crossed with Ticket to Ride.

A few more of the gorgeous wood components from 51st State Master Set (in case you hadn't already guessed the game).

Islebound - a cool new game from Red Raven Games. Just received my Kickstarter pledge - this was the smoothest campaign I’ve backed so far, actually delivered early! The artwork and all the components are beautiful.
