Lots of games are coming out june for you to have a more game filled holidays (Yeah I’m already thinking about holidays).

First up is Toledo. Out on June 5th, this game is designed by Martin Wallace, if you ever thought about being a swordsmith for the Emperor of the Spanish empire here’s your chance. You’ll gather materials for your swords or even engage in soe dueling to prove your sword’s are the finest swords ever made!

Seems like an interesting concept. For 2-4 players, ages 10+.

Another interesting game is Senji from Asmodée. Originally Rising Sun, this game set in medieval Japan where you play a daymio trying to become a shogun. To follow this path you must deal with your enemies wisely, forge and break alliances and sometimes recur to war.

For 3-6 players. Ages 12+.

On a lighter note AEG is re-releasing Straw. Straw is a light family game where you get points by loading up the camel, if you overload it you break the camel’s back. 2-6 players, ages 6+.

Horus [bgg], of which I’ve spoken about earlier, is released today. If you you want to give Egypt your personal touch now is the time!

Twilight creations Inc has announced Zombies!!! 7: Send in the Clowns [bgg] will be available on June 23rd (that’s next Tuesday).

On not so good news: Z-Man games have been delayed due to lightning strike (yes you read it right). So Agricola [bgg] will ship from the printer on June 21st, so expect pre-orders to ship by the final days of July, with game shelves crying all over the world waiting to be filled by Agricola [bgg] goodieness.

Middle kingdom [bgg] is now due to the final week of July.

Ideology [bgg], Pandemic [bgg] and Chinatown [bgg] should be shipping from the printer by next week being in stores by July. Traders of Carthage [bgg] and Shadow Hunters [bgg] are now to be released also in July.

Genji [bgg], Wasabi! [bgg], Neuroshima Hex! [bgg] and Tales of the Arabian Nights [bgg] now have an unknown print date.

Given these delays Arena and Monster Liner [bgg] will probably be released in 2009 due to problems in finishing these products.

So those of us who were hoping for a more game filled vacation, well crap it
