Truffle Scuffle & Penguin Soccer, New from Nestorgames

Néstor Romeral Andrés has released a pair of new two-player games through nestorgames, which publishes games on an “as ordered” basis. The new games are:

• Truffle Scuffle, by Micah Fuller – Two players each have a team of four hogs that they send scooting around the game board to collect truffles, but each player has only one hog to start with. On a turn, you move each of your hogs on the board to an adjacent tile and claim one truffle on each space, if any. Before moving, you can discard four truffles of the same color to add another of your hogs to the board. Collect a majority of three of the five types of truffles – or all nine truffles of a single color – and you win. (2 players, 20 minutes, €22)

• Penguin Soccer, by Avri Klemer – Each player has a team of three penguins and is trying to get the ball into the corner of the gameboard opposite the player’s home space. On a turn, you take action with one of your penguins, either kicking the ball 1-3 spaces, sliding 1-3 spaces across the ice, or standing up (if your penguin is laying down from having slid earlier). The largest penguin slides only one space while kicking the ball three squares, while the smallest does the opposite. Score once, and you win. (2 players, 20 minutes, €19)
