With that spirit in mind, in Q1 2024 publisher Trick or Treat Studios will follow Halloween with Chucky, which brings the antagonist from the Child’s Play movie series to your tabletop courtesy of designers Banana Chan, Yeonsoo Julian Kim, and Eric Slauson.

Here’s an overview of this 2-4 player game:
Quote:
In Chucky, each player will gather evidence about the mysterious murders that have been going on. This evidence gives them skills and abilities to roll the dice and maybe handle an encounter with Chucky himself at the end of each round! After three rounds, the player who does the best at overcoming these challenges wins — because Chucky will have slaughtered everyone else.
• Two of the designers of the previous game — Chan and Kim — are behind another early 2024 release: Guardians of Matrimonia from Darrington Press, a 2-4 player co-operative game:
Quote:
In their role of bardfluencer, necromanager, holistic cleric, or ale-chemist, players each have their own unique abilities to tame the magical emergencies that threaten the big day, whether the client spouses are goblins, dwarves, or eldritch hiveminds. You need to put out fires, keep the guests partying, and make the spouses happy. The more successful the celebration, the better your rating at the end of the festivities.

Guardians of Matrimonia includes a competitive mode in which you collect tips, as well as multiple levels of difficulty and rules variants to keep gameplay fresh.
• Fighting off emergencies is at the heart of Machines to the Sky, a Kickstarter-only project due out in late 2024 from designer/publisher The Moongrel, but you’re not trying to escape these emergencies for the good of humanity — only for the preservation of yourself and your reputation:

In Machines To The Sky, 1-4 players manage production engines involving technology, materials, and personnel to contribute to the construction of the Ark Project and preserve the future of the human race! By bidding on critical technologies, you must build and move projects to optimize your resource production, scoring in either your personal projects or your contributions to the Ark.
In the end, your goal is to manage the development of groundbreaking technologies so that you can earn the most space on the Ark and carry your name into the stars, the dying Earth fading behind you.
• Instead of fleeing a dying Earth, you can head underwater to discover the remains of a past legendary civilization.
German publisher HYBR released the Andreas Wilde design Finding Atlantis in 2022, and now Canadian publisher Synapses Games plans to release the game in English and French in Q2 2024. Here’s an overview of this 1-4 player game:
Quote:
Finding Atlantis is a competitive deduction and exploration game with unique app-generated puzzles for 1-4 players. On a turn, you play two cards from your hand and resolve the action on these cards, moving your submarines on the map; inspecting the ocean floor via periscope, sonar, and radiograph; exploring for artifacts or stealing those artifacts from opponents; dropping mines to slow down those opponents; and surfacing to reset your deck. You track your findings on a hidden map, trying to be the first to discover all spaces of Atlantis.

Finding Atlantis features an app that offers more than a million distinct and challenging sea maps, along with an integrated tutorial and a U-Bot mode that allows for solo play against an AI or AI-controlled opponents that can be added to a multiplayer game.
