Grab the big stories before the other papers get a chance, and make sure you have the right photos too. A newspaper is a business, so the money has to come from somewhere - don't forget the ads! After you've chosen a combination of stories, photos, and ads, it's time to lay out the front page. Have you taken enough tiles to fill the newspaper, but not so many that things have to be deleted? Over three hectic days, your skills will be tested as you compete to be the most newsworthy editor! Fit to Print is a tile laying game for the whole family. Players simultaneously collect newspaper tiles and stack them on their desks until they think they have what they need to create the perfect front page. Then they shout "Layout!" and they begin to lay out the page by carefully considering the placement of highlights, articles, photos, and advertisements. When everything is just right, they shout "Print" to be the first off the press and get their choice of highlight for the next round! This frantic spatial puzzle features over 100 unique newspaper tiles, 6 characters with their own special abilities, and 3 decks of Breaking News cards - so you solve a new puzzle every time you play! If real-time games aren't your style, Fit to Print has several alternative game modes to suit every kind of puzzler. In Slo-Mode, players take turns taking tiles from a shared market and arranging them on their front pages. In Puzzle Mode you take a specific set of tiles and lay out the highest scoring arrangements. Whether you want relaxed solo puzzles or frantic action for up to 6 players, you'll have fun helping the animals of Thistleville tell their stories!

Onitama is a perfect abstract information game for two players. The game has a random starting position. On a 5x5 board, both players start with five pawns on their side, with the main pawn in the middle. Each player has two face-up cards, each representing a possible move for each of his pieces. There is a fifth card that cannot be used by either player. On a player's turn, he chooses one of his cards, moves one of his pieces according to the chosen card and replaces the card he used with the fifth card. The other player then chooses one of their cards, moves accordingly, and swaps that card with this fifth card - which of course is the card the first player just used. By moving to one of the opponent's pawns, that pawn is removed from the game. If you take the opponent's main pawn, or move your main pawn to the starting space of your opponent's main pawn, you win the game.
