Great list. Really pleased to see Forbidden Stars make another appearance - stellar game. I'm actually in the process of printing off the 4 fan expansion factions with a 3D printer that I've borrowed. Taking ages but it'll be so worth it. My suggestion is Dogs of War. It's sort of a worker placement/area control game but functions like a tug of war between houses. Designed by Paolo Mori and produced by CMON so you know it'll play as good as it looks. I feel they've really dropped the ball on the reprints as you rightly highlighted Ethnos. Also turns out we own 6 of the games on your list so say we're doing pretty well with that. My brother even has the Merlin's Company expansion, but we've never played it. Apparently it makes the game even harder and we feel it's tough enough as is with a decent traitor.

There are a few games from TMG's catalog that deserve someone to pick them up and reprint them. Exodus Fleet is at the top of that list. You can find it for $25 but still, someone should make a new edition with proper marketing and better overall graphic design. It's the best version of Puerto Rico you haven't played. Someone should beat Ryan Laukat with a stick for not reprinting Roam as well. I love Ryan but he gives his small box games zero love. Roam is a fantastic filler+ game that you can't find now for less than $80. So, no more sequels to Sleeping Gods or big narrative games, and give us strong, tight, mechanically sound little games. I'd say the same for Klondike Rush as well. ETHNOS DESERVES SIX NEW FACTIONS .... and Archegos Society isn't the same game AT ALL.

I don't know if this is possible, but some sort of merger between Memoir '44 and ASL, leaning towards the rules lighter side. I love the simplicity of Memoir '44 and the detail (not the complexity) of ASL. ASL with minis is cool, but it's still too complex.

I want to reprint Of wiz war by fantasy flight games The game and its expansion were so cool Because you'd shuffle together different decks of schools of magic to create intreasting combos of cards that tied into each other With amazing art and minitures for the characters that were well worth the original price of the game Then, they announced a new edition of the game, and i got so excited And it was being done by steve jackson Games, and i got worried Then it got released, and i cried Because the people at steve jackson are all 70 year old boomers that hated all the innovation and art of the previous editions and literally just redid the original game from the 70s but with that shit art style that all steve jackson games have that to me look like somone stepped in dogshit and wiped it on a canvas They removed literally everything i liked and also charged more for it even though it came with a lot less than the version by fantasy flight
