Asmodee was nice enough to show me four of their upcoming games.

DEUS is a tile-based game due out in March in which you explore lands in order to develop your empire. Found new cities and construct buildings in order to exploit natural resources and establish trade routes.

COLT EXPRESS is where players play cards to steal the most loot, shoot their opponents, move around the train, and elude the marshal. What I liked most about this was that the play area is a train. How awesome?!

My favorite, ELYSIUM, features card-drafting mechanics that allows for different powers and combinations and great replayability for a fast-paced, direct-play game where players earn points through the cards that they have acquired and by employing powers that they have assembled.

Mayfair had a fun game called FLEA MARKET, wherein you buy items — trying to buy at the lowest and sell obviously at the highest.
