Onward to Venus is based on the Doctor Grordbort graphic novels from writer/artist Greg Broadmore, with those books being a parody of sorts of the British Empire in the late 19th century, but instead of the race for Africa, we now have the exploitation of the Solar System, which is populated by various natives who resent the Earthling settlers.

The game Onward to Venus takes lots of artwork from the books and mixes it together to create an empire-building game set in the Solar System. The core rules are fairly straightforward, and a game can be completed in 90 minutes. The game is played over three turns; in each turn you whizz around the planets and moons claiming tiles. The tiles grant you cards, allow you to build a factory or mine, let you hunt strange beasts, or simply earn you some money. Other tiles allow you to attack other players or add to the crisis level on the planet/moon in question. You have to be careful with crisis tiles as if you let too many build up, bad stuff — Martian invasions, robot rebellions, space pirates, etc. — starts happening.

Red Reign Fall is a competitive gateway strategy game set during the last days of Mars 4 billion years ago, featuring a uniquely customizable and destructible action selection system.  In this game, water is everything: your currency, your fuel, your measure of victory, and your life.

Throughout the game, you get to choose how to outfit your gargantuan airborne fortress, seeking to collect or steal enough water to power your escape to Earth before the former moon, Hellas, falls. Have the most water when time runs out to leave your opponents in the blood-stained dust of Mars.

Players take on the role of 21st-century entrepreneurs competing for consumer demand and attempting to maximize profits. However, their unwieldy economic power can have disastrous consequences for everyone, so players must collectively avoid societal collapse. Involves a board, cubes, and cards.

The Great Wall is a new asymmetric worker/soldier placement game with engine building themes and a twist in form of a constantly attacking AI (Mongolian Horde) that requires players to sometimes cooperate in order to defeat it. This is a new major board game from Awaken Realms.

Players will control ancient clans in China trying to defend against invading Mongolian hordes and build a Great Wall. While every player will want to win (by earning VP = Honor) they also need to sometimes cooperate to defend against the hordes. Each clan will be asymmetric through its chosen Leader (resource production/starting resources/starting workers and units) and this asymmetry will increase as the game progresses (players will hire Advisors with unique skills, often creating unique engines).
