Guess Who the Murderer is?
I stumbled across this board game in the pub and had high hopes of some sort of Cluedo with a twist type game. Unfortunately it's pretty much like Guess Who. One player picks a suspect, method, location and a motive card at random and hides them behind the Mansion art work.
The other player has so many steps to guess all four right. There are only about 6 choices for each category to choose from. For a longer game I think you can say the person has so many of the 4 guesses right without saying which. Given the title I hoped for more than a guessing game.

Terraformong Mars: Hellas and Elysium is a small expansion that is a double sided board that overlays the original board to add new terrain, awards and milestones to TM. The new placement bonuses ocean areas change up the usual optimal placements, while the awards and milestones change what an optimal engine is. It adds enough variety to the game play for it's price, but doesn't add new cards or corporations. Unfortunately, the explanation for the new awards and milestones are on a not very durable sheet, so make sure to protect it well.

Scythe: The Kotaku Review
It’s not every day you get to rampage through the 1920s countryside in control of a fleet of giant mechs.

Scythe is a new board game from Stonemaier Games. If the art up top (which is on the front of the game’s box) looks familiar, that’s because the entire game is based on a universe imagined by artist Jakub Rozalski, which we featured on Fine Art a few years back and which is now also getting a video game.

This is one of my absolute favorite social deduction board games. Each person has a secret identity that you can choose to share (or not) with other players in the game. You need to be good at both bluffing and social deduction to win.

This game is best with 11-20 players. You can play with any number, but it starts getting a little unwieldly once you get up to 25-30.

It is not hard to teach this game- I play it in class with my college students and it doesn't take too long before they catch on.

Says it will play two, does not work as a two player game (0 more)
A game that never gets old!!
This was the game that got me into board games and is still one I pull out anytime the chance arises! It is a perfect blend of drafting and timely decisions. There is always interaction between the players between buying goods and war that it keeps all players focused on each move along with their opponents. The replayability is through the roof and has been a hit between gamers and non gamers alike!
